EcoFlow

By Bayle Emlein

EcoFlow chose Pepcom’s Digital Experience West to

announce the availability of their RIVER Bank portable power

module. At 2 pounds, it outweighs the spare emergency boost

in the bottom of my purse. However, it so outperforms anything

else that I have that if I add to my carry-on, my career as an

action photographer might be back on track.

The modular nature of the RIVER Bank offers a choice of an

additional AC module with an AC port and/or a Car Module with

a car jump starter port. If you’re absolutely sure you’ll never, ever

be someplace where a dead battery might lead to a dead you,

then the car module might be the best idea you’ve ever had and

well worth the extra weight and investment.

The 21W and 50W solar charger modules are available to

replenish the main module as well as the other auxiliary modules

when you’re way off the grid, either because you’ve gone far

afield or because a you’ve encountered a power outage close to

home. EcoFlow is proud of deploying RIVER Banks to areas in

the world where electricity is reliably unreliable, especially to the

kind of person who needs to do homework at night in order to work

her way toward a more stable infrastructure.

Given the variety of natural disasters available within US borders,

a RIVER Bank and accompanying modules would be reasonable

items to add to any preparedness kit. For a while I worked in an

underground room with no windows, in a facility that had frequent

power outages. Man! It was dark in there when it got dark. It would

have been so much easier to manage my crew if I had had just one

RIVER Bank.
