Hope for the best, prepare for the worst: EcoFlow powers your homes during load shedding

Things have taken a turn for the worse. Load shedding is now “back to stage 4 to 6 until further notice”, according to Eskom, while “moving to stage 8 load-shedding is a possibility, but also unlikely”.

EcoFlow, a leading global provider of sustainable energy solutions, is answering the call of South African households facing the challenges of load shedding.

With an unwavering commitment to providing reliable and sustainable power, EcoFlow has introduced its range of portable power generators to South Africa, including the versatile RIVER 2, RIVER 2 Max and the powerful DELTA 2.

These innovations are considered to be the most cost effective and convenient alternative to traditional inverters and generators.

Thanks to their lightweight, compact and plug-in design, EcoFlow portable power stations can be taken anywhere, require minimal set-up and are easy for anyone to use.

Prepare for the next emergency, and the next decade

It’s really annoying having to set the alarm and check the schedule from time to time, but that nasty blackout doesn’t always follow the rules.

With patented X-Stream technology, both the EcoFlow RIVER 2 and RIVER 2 Max have lightning fast charging times, going from 0-100% in an hour, while the DELTA 2 takes 80 minutes to fully charge.

This is around 5 times faster than the industry average.

Meanwhile, their 3000-cycle LFP batteries promise up to 10 years of use, alongside a 5 year warranty. With load shedding set to continue for years to come, investing in an EcoFlow portable power station is the one way to ensure that your energy options outlast the load shedding.

Stay with uninterrupted power

In the face of load shedding, life grinds to a halt, without light, without networks and without your favourite TV show. When it comes to choosing the right power backup, capacity matters.

The EcoFlow RIVER and DELTA series of portable power stations offer a range of options for powering everything from essential appliances to heavy-duty equipment.

For example, with a capacity of 256Wh, and a rated output of 300W (X-boost 600W), the EcoFlow RIVER 2 is perfect for entry-level users. It can comfortably power a 10W lightbulb for 8-20 hours, charge your smartphone 19 times in one cycle or maintain the WiFi router for 8 hours.

And RIVER 2 Max, the larger cousin of RIVER 2, doubles the running time.

But if you want to make it through multiple four-and-a-half-hour blocks, you will need the flagship DELTA 2.

With an expandable capacity from 1 to 3kWh and 1800W rated output (X-boost 2400W), DELTA 2 can run a 50″TV for 8 hours or a 120W electric blanket for 7-14 hours, giving you overnight joy and warmth.

Moreover, EcoFlow portable power stations are equipped with EPS mode. When a power outage crashes in, the battery can automatically switch on to power in 30 milliseconds to keep the essential appliances on.

Keep boredom at bay with family union

Idle hands are never a good thing and sitting in the dark twiddling your thumbs is a sure-fire way to go stir crazy. Why not just bulk up your EcoFlow portable power station and ask your family to gather?

EcoFlow Portable power stations are equipped with multiple types of ports to power various electronic devices simultaneously.

The RIVER 2 can charge up to 5 devices, the RIVER 2 Max can run 9 devices can and the DELTA 2 comfortably powers your laptop and 12 other devices like your Wi-Fi router, phone, TV, and game console at the same time.

With the power on, you can banish boredom from your home for good!

Unlike petrol or diesel generators, these portable power stations generate green energy without emissions and make minimal noise.

As light as 3.5kg, you can easily carry the RIVER 2 and other to wherever you need, making them the perfect power companion for your family.

The grid is off? Let green power support

Worrying about multiple load shedding blocks can soon be a thing of the past. EcoFlow portable power stations can be charged in multiple ways.

With quick charge through a wall socket, RIVER 2 and RIVER 2 Max take merely 60 minutes to get fully powered for another bout of load shedding, while the DELTA 2 can be charged fully in 80 minutes.

Apart from charging from grid, EcoFlow power stations are also compatible with solar panel attachments and some car chargers. Using this method, you’ll be fully charged again in as little as 3 hours.

Load shedding is no longer a temporary inconvenience but a persistent challenge that requires a proactive response. The saying “hope for the best, prepare for the worst” has never been truer than it is right now. With the RIVER 2, RIVER 2 Max or DELTA 2, you will be prepared for the next 10 years.
