Editorial verdict
The same RIVER 2 as always, with solar charging already solved from day one.
Best use case
Anyone who wants the basic RIVER 2 but prefers not to find a compatible solar panel separately.
It's the basic RIVER 2 with a small solar panel (45W) included in the same order, without having to find a compatible panel separately. The 45W panel fully charges the RIVER 2 in about 7 hours of direct sun.
It's still the most basic unit in the catalog: 256 Wh is enough for a phone, router, or small fan, not for cooling. For anyone who wants the easiest, cheapest-to-ship unit, with solar charging already solved.
Pros
- Comes with a solar panel included, no need to find a compatible one separately
- Light and easy to ship
- 5-year factory warranty
Cons
- 256 Wh: not enough for cooling or large loads
- Only a 45W panel: slow recharge (7 hours)
Ideal for: Anyone who wants the basic RIVER 2 but prefers not to find a compatible solar panel separately.
