How Long Will It Run

How long will an EcoFlow RIVER Pro run a monitor, 27 inch?

About 12 hours — 12 h 23 min typically, from 11 h 40 min in the worst case to 13 h 7 min at best. That assumes a monitor, 27 inch pulling 30 W continuously, plus the station's 10 W AC mains socket overhead — 40 W in total out of 496 usable watt-hours.

Backlight brightness is nearly the whole figure.

  • 1.6 nights of eight hours, or 0.52 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 1,321 Wh of rated capacity — 1.8× this station.
  • Start-up: the monitor, 27 inch asks for 30 W at switch-on against this station's 1,200 W peak — comfortable.
