  "summary": "245 Wh LiFePO4 ultra-compact power station with 300 W AC output (600 W surge/X-Boost), a 60-minute full wall recharge at 320 W, 110 W solar input, and a 3.5 kg weight.",
  "description": "The RIVER 3 is EcoFlow's entry unit: a 245 Wh LFP pack (3,000 cycles to 80%+ SoH) feeding two AC outlets at 300 W continuous, with X-Boost letting simple resistive loads draw up to 600 W. Wall charging accepts 320 W for an official 0–100% in 60 minutes, and the solar input takes 110 W (11–30 V). The page markets 'UPS | <20 ms', but EcoFlow's own manual classifies the base RIVER 3's sub-20 ms switchover as EPS and reserves 'UPS' for the separate 'RIVER 3 (10 ms UPS)' variant — so this record classifies it as marketed-UPS. At 3.5 kg with a flat, stackable shape, it is squarely a device-charging and light-AC unit.",
