How long will an EcoFlow RIVER Pro run a cordless drill charger?
About 7.1 hours — 7 h 5 min typically, from 6 h 40 min in the worst case to 7 h 30 min at best. That assumes a cordless drill charger pulling 60 W continuously, plus the station's 10 W AC mains socket overhead — 70 W in total out of 496 usable watt-hours.
Negligible; a work van station will do a dozen batteries a day.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × cordless drill charger, UK 230 V | 70 W | 6 h 40 min | 7 h 5 min | 7 h 30 min |
| 2 × cordless drill charger, UK 230 V | 130 W | 3 h 35 min | 3 h 49 min | 4 h 2 min |
| 1 × cordless drill charger, US 120 V | 70 W | 6 h 40 min | 7 h 5 min | 7 h 30 min |
- 0.9 nights of eight hours, or 0.3 days of continuous running.
- Usable energy: 496 Wh of the 720 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
- To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 2,312 Wh of rated capacity — 3.2× this station.
- Start-up: the cordless drill charger asks for 60 W at switch-on against this station's 1,200 W peak — comfortable.
