First off, there are only three USB ports. Granted, there is a USB-A QC and USB-C port, making it up to date. However, the Delta 1300 has double the USB ports at six total. There are two input ports on the Explorer 1000 – a standard 8mm female connector input and a pair of Anderson Power pole connectors. The River Max is basically a standard River power station with an additional battery. The added battery (which is detachable) brings twice the amount of battery life (576Wh) compared to the River (288Wh). Bring along a solar-powered battery power station which is capable of powering most of your camping gear.

The flashlight type light on the side of the unit is great feature especially when the power is out or when camping Larger Capacity and Higher Wattages: It features a 1002Wh(46.4Ah) lithium battery capacity, 1000W continuous and 2000W surge power. Ultra-Charging System Only 1.8 Hours: 1,002Wh capacity with an output power of 1000W (2000W Surge Peak Power). Explorer 1000 pro takes 1.8 hours for a full wall charge and a full solar charge with 4* SolarSaga 200W. Supports up to 1000 charge cycles and the low self-discharge rate allows it to last 365 days from an 80% battery level.

Using this charging will help prolong the lifespan of the battery and guarantee that the Delta is ready to recharge gear at all times.

The following table shows some examples of appliances and devices you can or can’t use along with their run/charging times: Appliance As seen from the table above, the River Max has all of the same ports as the standard River power station. This means a total of ten output ports – four of them being USB and three of them being AC ports.It also has more AC, USB-A, and USB-C ports than most other power stations in its class. While offering the highest max output, the Delta was capable of running electric devices and having a high battery capacity. Multiple Output Ports: Two USB-C, two USB, one DC car port & two pure sine wave AC outlets. Go off-grid and power your cameras, computers, communication devices, CPAP, and electric grill.

It has a cover for the 12 volt output, Goal Zero doesn't provide one on any of it's Yeti models with 12V output. The EcoFlow River is the successor to the River 370 model, which came out to the public a few years prior to the newer generator.So overall, not only is there more accessible AC power, but you can hook up way more devices at once. EcoFlow Delta 1300 – Overview & Application of Use The power station supports a pass-through mode where charging and discharging can happen simultaneously. In an office setting, this is similar to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) where the battery and AC inverter take over whenever there is a power outage. This makes the Explorer 300 suitable in an office, only being limited by its 300W output power. The competition Another downside is that the River Max is really just the River power station with an added battery. You get all of the same functions as you would from the standard River power station. River Max vs. Explorer 500 – What Can They Power? Appliance What sets the Explorer 1000 Pro apart is its portability. It's compact, lightweight, and the sturdy handle makes it easy to carry. This design is perfect for on-the-go adventures, and I appreciate not feeling weighed down by bulky equipment. The durability of the build also gives me confidence that it can withstand the rigours of outdoor activities.
