Common questions

How long will the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus run a portable oxygen concentrator?
About 6 hours from a full charge. A portable oxygen concentrator averages about 40 W, and the 286 Wh battery gives about 243 Wh after inverter losses. That is 16% of the battery an hour.
Is the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus enough backup for a portable oxygen concentrator?
Only as a short bridge. It covers about 6 hours from a full charge. A power station should never be your only backup for medical equipment: ask your equipment supplier what they provide in an outage, register with your utility’s medical-needs program, and keep the settings your prescriber gave you.
