BLUETTI AC60P vs EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max
Technical comparison · Compact
Two compact power stations with the same energy (504 and 512 Wh) and LFP cells. What differs is what surrounds the battery: the BLUETTI AC60P weighs three kilos more and in return can be expanded, declares IP65 protection and switches over in continuity mode; the RIVER 2 Max is lighter and simpler (manufacturer-declared values).

The differences that matter
- Weight, 9.1 vs 6.1 kg at almost the same capacity (504 vs 512 Wh) → three kilos more to carry for the same energy.
- Continuous output, 600 vs 500 W → a small margin: appliances between 500 and 600 W only fit the BLUETTI.
- Backup, UPS vs EPS with a pause (30 ms) → in a power cut the BLUETTI moves to battery in continuity mode, the RIVER 2 Max with a short pause.
- Warranty, 6 vs 5 years → on both, the warranty ends before the 3,000 declared cycles, so the BLUETTI covers you a year longer.
Which one to choose
Choose BLUETTI AC60P if…
the station works somewhere exposed, where the declared IP65 protection matters, or in the cold (−20 °C declared), and you want to keep the option of adding capacity later. The price is the extra weight to carry.
Choose EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max if…
you carry it around often and want to charge it quickly: solar input up to 220 W and mains charging at 0.66 kW are declared, with operation up to 45 °C. You give up a little power headroom, a year of warranty and the continuity switchover.
