How long will an EcoFlow RIVER Pro run a games console (PS5)?
About 2.4 hours — 2 h 22 min typically, from 2 h 13 min in the worst case to 2 h 30 min at best. That assumes a games console (PS5) pulling 200 W continuously, plus the station's 10 W AC mains socket overhead — 210 W in total out of 496 usable watt-hours.
Menus idle near 50 W; a demanding game is the number quoted here.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × games console (PS5), UK 230 V | 210 W | 2 h 13 min | 2 h 22 min | 2 h 30 min |
| 2 × games console (PS5), UK 230 V | 410 W | 1 h 8 min | 1 h 13 min | 1 h 17 min |
| 1 × games console (PS5), US 120 V | 210 W | 2 h 13 min | 2 h 22 min | 2 h 30 min |
- 0.3 nights of eight hours, or 0.1 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 6,935 Wh of rated capacity — 9.6× this station.
- Start-up: the games console (PS5) asks for 250 W at switch-on against this station's 1,200 W peak — comfortable.
