How Long Will It Run

How long will an EcoFlow RIVER Pro run a dehumidifier, 12 L/day?

About 3.1 hours — 3 h 6 min typically, from 2 h 55 min in the worst case to 3 h 17 min at best. That assumes a dehumidifier, 12 L/day pulling 250 W for 60% of the time (average 150 W), plus the station's 10 W AC mains socket overhead — 160 W in total out of 496 usable watt-hours.

Compressor units cycle with humidity; desiccant models draw more and do not cycle as much.

  • 0.4 nights of eight hours, or 0.13 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 5,284 Wh of rated capacity — 7.3× this station.
  • Start-up: the dehumidifier, 12 L/day asks for 600 W at switch-on against this station's 1,200 W peak — comfortable.
