EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus Wireless vs Jackery Explorer 300 Plus
Technical comparison · Ultraportable
For anyone picking an ultraportable station for camping or mobile work, the decision comes down to continuous output: 600 W covers more or heavier appliances at once, while the Explorer 300 Plus's 300 W suits light loads only. The rest is mostly a matter of how each handles backup power.

The differences that matter
- Continuous output: 600 W vs 300 W → the Wireless runs appliances the Explorer 300 Plus can't sustain continuously.
- Maximum solar input: 220 W vs 100 W → the Wireless recharges from solar much faster.
- Warranty: 5 years vs 3 → more coverage before you'd need to replace the battery.
- Backup power: UPS continuity vs EPS with a brief pause → a design choice, not a hierarchy: the Wireless keeps the load powered, the Explorer 300 Plus has a short gap.
Which one to choose
Choose EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus Wireless if…
Pick the RIVER 3 Plus Wireless if you need to run appliances up to 600 W continuously without any drop when switching to battery (true UPS continuity). In exchange you carry about 1.4 kg more and rely on it for faster solar charging (220 W vs 100 W).
Choose Jackery Explorer 300 Plus if…
Pick the Explorer 300 Plus if your load stays under 300 W and you want the lighter of the two. You accept a brief interruption when switching to battery (EPS instead of UPS), a shorter warranty (3 years vs 5) and slower solar charging.
