Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Connecting to RIVER 3 Plus: Ensure both the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus and the Extra Battery (EB300) are powered off. Align the extra battery with the base of the RIVER 3 Plus unit, ensuring the pogo pin connectors on both devices meet. Gently push down until you hear a click or feel it securely seated. No cables or screws are required. Once connected, power on the main RIVER 3 Plus unit; it will automatically recognize the added capacity.
- Using Independently: To use the extra battery on its own, simply ensure it is charged (either via the main unit or its own USB-C port). You can then plug compatible devices into its 140W USB-C port for charging or power.
Compatibility
This EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus Extra Battery (EB300) is specifically designed for use with the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus Portable Power Station series. It is not compatible with other EcoFlow models like the DELTA series or older RIVER models. There are two extra battery models available: the EB300 (286Wh, this product) and the EB600 (572Wh). Ensure you have the correct RIVER 3 Plus main unit for optimal integration.
Care and Maintenance
- Storage: Store the extra battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For long-term storage (over 3 months), it's recommended to discharge the battery to about 50% and then recharge it to 80% every 3-6 months to preserve battery health.
- Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the exterior. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Connection Points: Periodically check the pogo pin connectors for dust or debris. Clean gently with a dry, soft brush if necessary to ensure a reliable connection.
- Temperature: Avoid operating or storing the battery in extreme temperatures (below -20°C or above 45°C). This can impact performance and battery lifespan.
- Impact: Protect the unit from drops or heavy impacts, which can damage internal components.
