EcoFlow River Gen4 power stations roughly double energy density and adopt LFP chemistry
↗
EcoFlow's fourth-generation River 260 and 520 power stations achieve class-leading volumetric energy density of 59.5 Wh/L and 90.9 Wh/L respectively using LFP battery chemistry, up from roughly 34 to 37 Wh/L in prior generations and competing products.
These units store significantly more energy in a smaller, lighter package than similarly-capacity alternatives, making portable power more practical for field deployments and emergency backup. The LFP chemistry and bidirectional 140W USB-C charging address two common ownership pain points: battery degradation and proprietary chargers.

The River 520 Gen4 reaches 90.9 Wh/L volumetric energy density, compared to 37.2 Wh/L for the prior River 2 Max and matching Anker and Bluetti competitors.
Both models use LFP chemistry for longer life and lower volatility, and feature bidirectional 140W USB-C PD3.1 ports that eliminate the need for a separate charging brick.
Both function as UPS devices with under 10ms cutover time, and improved DC-to-AC conversion efficiency reduces idle power drain.
