Head-to-head test
EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max vs Jackery Explorer 600 v2
EcoFlow has sold out of the 512Wh RIVER 2 Max and now sells the RIVER 2 Max 500 in its place, and Jackery's store has had the Explorer 600 v2 sold out since July 2026, so neither of these is a new buy. The Jackery holds more and is rated for twice the cycles. The EcoFlow has twice the AC outlets and the faster wall charge.

Spec deltas
Both of these have left their makers' stores. Every version of the RIVER 2 Max is sold out at EcoFlow, which now sells the RIVER 2 Max 500, the same box with a slightly smaller battery. Jackery's store has had the Explorer 600 v2 sold out since July 2026. So if you're shopping today, neither one on this page is a new buy. If you already own one, or spotted one on a clearance shelf, this comparison still has something to tell you.
On paper the Jackery is the bigger battery in a box of about the same weight. It holds 640Wh to the EcoFlow's 512, and the two weigh within a pound of each other. I'd carry either up the Dipsea steps without a second thought. The bigger gap is in the rating on the cells. Jackery rates the Explorer for 6,000 charge cycles, and EcoFlow rates the RIVER 2 Max for 3,000.
The EcoFlow has strengths of its own. It has four AC outlets to the Jackery's two, so a lamp, a fan and a laptop charger can share it without a power strip. It refills from the wall in about an hour through EcoFlow's X-Stream chargingA2, and reviewers like its appA3. Jackery's app has the weakest reputation of the big brands. I spent seven years reading fine print, so I noticed it wants a login even when you're offline.
What the Numbers Reveal
Each conclusion stated first β the numbers behind it on one line, the full analysis below.
EcoFlow's figure is the most the RIVER 2 Max reaches when it works hard. Jackery's is the quietest the Explorer gets. At a light bedside load the real gap is smaller than the numbers suggest, and it could run the other way.

Why it mattersNeither rating is a reason to buy one of these for quiet.
rated cycles
A bigger battery and twice the rated cycles multiply together. At one full cycle a day, the Explorer's rating lasts 16.4 years to the RIVER 2 Max's 8.2.
the Explorer holds 640Wh vs the RIVER 2 Max's 512Whthe Explorer is rated for 6,000 cycles vs the RIVER 2 Max's 3,000rated lifetime delivery is 3,840kWh vs 1,536kWh
Why it mattersA daily user gets the most from the Jackery, and that is the reason to hold on to one.
More sockets and an hour's wall rechargeA2 suit a day where the battery gets topped up between uses, with the app to slow or speed the chargeA3.
the RIVER 2 Max has four AC outlets and three USB-A ports to the Explorer's two and onethe RIVER 2 Max fully charges in about 60 minutes via X-StreamA2the EcoFlow app offers remote monitoring and charge-speed controlA3
Why it mattersThose are the reasons to keep a RIVER 2 Max you own. A new buyer who wants them gets the same box in the RIVER 2 Max 500.
The specific dimensions that decide these two units β everything else is a tie.
What the Specs Don't Tell You
Selected because: The 62dB-vs-30dB noise gap is the single biggest difference here.
rated cycles
Four cards fire here, and the one that looks loudest is the least reliable. The noise card shows 62dB for the RIVER 2 Max and 30dB for the Explorer. EcoFlow publishes its figure as the maximum under heavy charge or discharge, and Jackery publishes a best case. Two numbers built that way can't be subtracted, so I'd leave noise out of this decision.
The UPS card leans Jackery. Switchover is the gap between the wall power dropping and the battery taking over. The Explorer is rated at 20ms or less and the RIVER 2 Max at 30ms or less, and many desktops won't ride through the slower one. The warranty card is a tie at five years. The cycle card goes to the Jackery.
Lifetime Value
Selected because: Twice the cycles on a bigger battery is the Jackery's core case, with no price on either side now.
The lifetime table is where the Jackery pulls away. Jackery rates the Explorer for 6,000 cycles, twice the RIVER 2 Max's 3,000. Put that on a bigger battery and the Explorer is rated to deliver 3,840kWh over its life against 1,536kWh. Neither shows a price here, since neither is sold new any more, so there is no cost per lifetime kilowatt-hour to set beside that figure.
A cycle is one full drain and refill. At one a day, the Explorer's rating lasts 16.4 years to the RIVER 2 Max's 8.2. At twice-a-week use, both ratings run for decades. If I owned a RIVER 2 Max and took it out a few weekends a year, I wouldn't replace it over this.
Portability & Form Factor
Selected because: Both are light; the near-tie in weight is worth naming.
weight
Weight won't decide it. The RIVER 2 Max is 13.4 lb and the Explorer 14.1, and reviewers call the Explorer the lightest station in the 600Wh classB1. Both are one-hand carries. Either fits in the back of my Outback with room left for the cooler.
The difference is what you can plug in once you get there. The RIVER 2 Max has four AC outlets, three USB-A ports and one USB-C. The Explorer has two AC, one USB-A and one USB-C. Both USB-C ports deliver 100W, enough to charge most laptops at full speed.
Brand Trust
Selected because: EcoFlow's app and fast charging versus Jackery's lightweight reputation.
EcoFlow's case is speed and software. The RIVER 2 Max refills from the wall in about an hourA2, and its app handles remote monitoring and charge-speed settingsA3. EcoFlow also has the biggest owner community in portable power. Owner reports on its support are mixed, and it offers no parts or service once the warranty ends.
Jackery has the widest retail reach, from Costco to Best Buy, and the weakest app among the big brands. Owners describe slow support and strict receipt rules for warranty claims, so I'd keep the receipt and register the unit on day one. Registration is what takes Jackery's cover to the full five years. Our research found the Explorer 600 v2 often out of stockB0, and Jackery's store has shown it sold out on every check since July 2026.

SCN-01 Β· 2 nights Β· needs 2,100Wh
Weekend Camping
Two nights off-grid with essential comfort
Neither unit
Our weekend basket needs 2,100Wh. The Explorer covers about a quarter of it and the RIVER 2 Max about a fifth. Neither is a weekend battery without a panel. The RIVER 2 Max takes up to 220W of solar and the Explorer 200W, so on a sunny campsite they refill at a similar pace.

Neither unit
Neither unit covers this scenario's 1,645Wh: the RIVER 2 Max comes up 1,210Wh short (about 26% covered), the Explorer 600 v2 1,101Wh (33%). Treat this as partial cover β enough for the essentials in it, not the whole list.

CPAP Overnight
Sleep therapy without interruption β the #1 medical use case
Either unit
Both get through a night on a CPAP, which our basket puts at about 40W for eight hours. The RIVER 2 Max finishes with 115Wh to spare and the Explorer with 224Wh. I wouldn't choose between them on noise for a bedside, because the two ratings were published in opposite ways and neither describes a draw this light. Neither is a new purchase now, since both are sold out at their makers.

Neither unit
A laptop-and-monitor day comes to 910Wh in our basket. The Explorer covers about 60% of it and the RIVER 2 Max a little under half. Either handles a morning of edits at a trailhead picnic table. For a full day I'd bring a panel or a bigger battery.

Neither unit
Neither unit covers this scenario's 670Wh: the RIVER 2 Max comes up 235Wh short (about 65% covered), the Explorer 600 v2 126Wh (81%). Either gets you most of the way, so this is a scenario you plan around rather than one you should rule them out for.

Power Score
Computed from 14 published spec dimensions, weighted per use-case bench. Higher is better; a unit must meet a bench's minimum threshold to be rated.
See the full weight table and data sourcing on our methodology page βClass ranking (the star rating)
Each unit's star score is a category ranking, not customer reviews β no buyer opinions feed it. We score every station on size-independent quality (value, output, portability, endurance, ports, warranty, and more), then percentile-rank it against the other units in its capacity class, so a class-leading compact unit and a class-leading whole-home unit can both earn 5β . Here, RIVER 2 Max rates 3.7/5 (26th percentile of 20 Compact-class units), and Explorer 600 v2 rates 4.2/5 (53rd percentile of 20 Compact-class units).
How the class ranking is computed βTest Notes & Caveats
Hidden gotchas and advantages we spotted that you won't find on the product page.
Two noise ratings, published in opposite ways
The RIVER 2 Max is listed at 62dB and the Explorer 600 v2 at 30dB. EcoFlow's figure is the most the RIVER reaches under heavy charging or output. Jackery's is its best case. A light load on the EcoFlow sits well below its rating, so the real gap is smaller than it looks and may even run the other way. Neither number tells you which is quieter at a bedside.
Switchover rated at 20ms against 30ms
Both list a UPS mode, where the battery takes over when the wall power drops. The Explorer is rated at 20ms or less and the RIVER 2 Max at 30ms or less. Routers and most electronics ride through either. Many desktop power supplies won't ride through a 30ms gap, so a PC on the EcoFlow should expect a reboot. Both figures are the makers' own ratings.
Five years each, one with a condition
Both carry five years of cover. The Explorer's full term depends on registering it with Jackery. If you buy a RIVER 2 Max second-hand, ask how much of its term is left.
6,000 cycles against 3,000
A cycle is one full drain and refill. At one a day, the Explorer's rating lasts 16.4 years and the RIVER 2 Max's 8.2. A pack that reaches its rating doesn't stop working. It drops to about 80% of its original capacity and carries on.

Analyst note
Neither is sold new any more, so there is no price left to work a cost per kWh from, and what either costs you now depends on the used market. The hardware comparison still holds: over its rated life the RIVER 2 Max delivers about 1,536 kWh and the Explorer 600 v2 about 3,840 kWh.
Brand trust
EcoFlow
Ecosystem
Largest in portable power β 12-15 models across DELTA Pro, DELTA 3, and RIVER 3 series, plus solar panels and smart home panels
Support
US-based phone/email/chat support (1-800-368-8604). Experiences are polarized β many report hassle-free prepaid-label replacements, but others report long waits and refurbished units sent for new claims. Pro tip: buying from Costco or Amazon gives you a stronger return safety net.

Unique strength
Fastest-charging technology (X-Stream), deepest product ecosystem, and most active innovation cadence. At the top of the range sit two whole-home paths: the TITAN line, one 5 kWh unit that grows to 30 kWh, and the DELTA Pro Ultra platform, which stacks batteries and inverters further β flagship paths, not line-wide features.
Worth knowing
Tested subscription paywalls for advanced app features in early 2025 before community backlash paused the plan. No parts or service offered out of warranty.
Jackery
Ecosystem
12-15+ models across Explorer (portable) and HomePower (home backup) series, plus SolarSaga panel ecosystem and innovative form factors
Support
US-based support but widely criticized. Reddit reports describe slow/dismissive responses, scripted AI agents, strict receipt requirements for warranty claims, and refurbished replacements for clearly defective units. Strongly recommended: buy from Costco or Amazon for return protection.
Community
Smallest community of the major brands β Reddit r/Jackery has ~2,000 members. YouTube presence is solid due to brand recognition.
App experience
Rated 2.3-3.3/5 iOS and Android β the weakest app experience of the major brands. Multiple confusing apps (Jackery app vs Jackery Home) and mandatory login even offline.
Unique strength
Highest brand recognition and widest retail distribution (Costco, Home Depot, Best Buy, Amazon). The "Toyota" of power stations β dependable, proven, wide availability. Innovative form factors like the Solar Gazebo and Solar Mars Bot.
Worth knowing
A couple of older models still ship NMC chemistry with a shorter rated lifespan, so check the cycle rating on the specific unit β though most of the current line has moved to LFP. Generally perceived as overpriced for the specs offered compared to newer competitors. App experience is significantly behind rivals.
Analyst note
EcoFlow brings the faster wall charging, the better app and the biggest owner community in portable power. Jackery brings the widest retail reach and the weakest app of the big brands. Owner reports on support are mixed for both, so I'd buy either from a store with an easy return window. For a new purchase neither unit is on the table. EcoFlow's version of the RIVER 2 Max is now the RIVER 2 Max 500, and Jackery's nearest is the HomePower 1000 v2.
Growth path

Analyst note
Neither of these is sold new any more, so there is no growth path to buy into on either side. If you already own one: the RIVER 2 Max is fixed at 512Wh and the Explorer 600 v2 is fixed at 640Wh. As a purchase decision, expandability isn't the question here.

Who Should Buy Which
Buy the RIVER 2 Max if youβ¦
- βOwners who run several things at once: four AC outlets and three USB-A ports.
- βOwners who refill between uses: a full wall charge takes about an hourA2.
- βOwners who like to tune charging from a phone: EcoFlow's app is one of the better onesA3. A new buyer who wants all this gets it in the RIVER 2 Max 500.
Buy the Explorer 600 v2 if youβ¦
- βOwners, and anyone who finds leftover stock. Jackery's store has had it sold out since July 2026, so a new buyer who wants a Jackery should look at the HomePower 1000 v2.
- βDaily users: 6,000 rated cycles works out to 16.4 years at one cycle a day.
- βAnyone who wants a bit more runtime: 640Wh to 512Wh, in a box within a pound of the EcoFlow.
- βDesk backup: it's rated to switch to battery in 20ms or less.
If neither fits
Our weekend camping basket needs 2,100Wh and a full 8-hour blackout needs 1,645Wh. Neither box comes close. Both are also capped at 500W, so a kettle or a microwave is off the list. For that kind of load, look at the 1kWh class and up.
The Bottom Line
Neither of these is still on sale. The Explorer 600 v2 was the pick while Jackery still sold it, on the bigger battery and the longer cycle rating: 640Wh and 6,000 cycles. Jackery's store has had it sold out since July 2026, so a new buyer who wants a Jackery should look at the HomePower 1000 v2.
If you already own a RIVER 2 Max, keep it. It has more outlets and a one-hour wall rechargeA2, and nothing on this page makes it obsolete. If those are what you'd want from a new unit, look at the RIVER 2 Max 500 rather than hunting for leftover stock.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers drawn from the spec record and cited owner research.
EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max vs Jackery Explorer 600 v2: which should I buy?
Neither, new. EcoFlow's store has the RIVER 2 Max sold out and sells the RIVER 2 Max 500 in its place, and Jackery's store has had the Explorer 600 v2 sold out since July 2026. Between the two as they stand, the Explorer holds 640Wh to 512Wh and is rated for 6,000 cycles to 3,000. The RIVER 2 Max has four AC outlets to two and a faster wall recharge of about an hour, so an owner of either has good reasons to keep it.
Which is quieter?
The published figures can't tell you. The RIVER 2 Max is listed at 62dB and the Explorer 600 v2 at 30dB, but EcoFlow's figure is a maximum under heavy charge or discharge and Jackery's is a best case. At a light load such as a CPAP the RIVER 2 Max runs well below its rating, so the real gap is narrower than the numbers suggest.
Which charges faster?
The EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max, which reaches a full charge from the wall in about 60 minutes via X-Stream. For solar, the RIVER 2 Max accepts up to 220W and the Explorer 600 v2 up to 200W.
Which has more capacity?
The Jackery Explorer 600 v2, at 640Wh to the RIVER 2 Max's 512Wh. It is also rated for 6,000 cycles to the RIVER 2 Max's 3,000, so it is rated to deliver 3,840kWh over its life against 1,536kWh.
