Compare EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus and Fossibot F800
When comparing the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus and Fossibot F800 charging stations, several key differences can be noted. The EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus has a rated power of 600 W and a peak power of 1200 W, while the Fossibot F800 offers higher figures—800 W and 1600 W respectively. Both devices support the UPS function, but Fossibot has more outputs, including one DC output. The charging time for EcoFlow from an outlet is about 60 minutes, which is faster than the 90 minutes for Fossibot. However, Fossibot offers more charge cycles—3500 compared to 3000 for EcoFlow. Both devices have built-in displays and carrying handles, but EcoFlow is lighter (4.7 kg compared to 6.5 kg for Fossibot). Ultimately, the choice depends on your needs: if you require more power and more outputs, Fossibot would be the better choice, while EcoFlow offers faster charging and a lighter weight.

Glossary
Rated power
Power that a device can consistently produce for an indefinitely long time without any unpleasant consequences. For normal operation of the charging station, the rated power must be at least 15 - 20% higher than the total power of all devices simultaneously connected to it.
Peak power
Some electrical appliances (in particular, units with electric motors - refrigerators, air conditioners, etc.) consume significantly more energy at startup than after reaching the operating mode. For such a load, the peak power of the charging station must be taken into account - its indicator must be higher than the starting power of the load.
Sockets (230 V)
Total number of outlets with output voltage. This is, in fact, the number of devices that can be simultaneously connected to the charging station without the use of splitters, extension cords and carriers. Accordingly, weaker charging stations have one or two sockets in their submission. Powerful charging stations already have three or more sockets “on board”.
USB-A
Full-size USB-A connectors are popular in computer technology, commonly used in charging adapters for 230 V household networks and 12 V car sockets. These outputs have become widespread in charging stations for charging gadgets.
— The total number of such ports can be quite varied (1 USB, 2 connectors, 3 ports, and even 4), as they allow for charging and, in some cases, powering various low-power devices — smartphones, tablets, power banks, lamps, and more.
— Current Strength. The maximum current delivered through the USB-A connector to the charging device. Note that different ports of the charging station may output different currents (for example, 1.5 A and 2.1 A). In such cases, the highest current strength is usually specified.
— Power. The maximum output power in watts (W) that the charging station is capable of delivering through the USB-A connector to a single charging gadget.

USB-A (quick charge)
Full-sized USB-A ports with fast charging support. This feature allows you to charge your smartphone, tablet, or other connected devices much more quickly. The charging process occurs at increased power, with current and voltage regulated at each stage to stay within optimal values. However, keep in mind that there are many fast-charging technologies today, and not all of them are compatible with each other.
— Current strength. The current parameters delivered through USB-A fast charging ports. Note that different ports of the charging station may output different voltage and current parameters. This section specifies the current strength values at a certain voltage (for example, 5V / 3A, 9V / 2A, 12V / 1.5A).
— Power. The maximum power in watts (W) that the charging station can deliver through the USB-A fast charging port to a single charging gadget. High output power allows for faster charging. However, the charging device must support the corresponding power; otherwise, the speed will be limited by the gadget's characteristics.

However, the charging device must support the corresponding power; otherwise, the speed will be limited by the gadget's characteristics.
USB-C
USB type C ports are smaller compared to classic USB ports and have a convenient reversible design that allows connecting the plug either way. USB type C was initially created to implement various advanced features: increased power, fast charging technologies, etc.
Since the port is relatively new and quite powerful (you can find USB type C with 60W, even 100W and 140W), the total number of such connectors is often limited to one port, or sometimes two).
— Current. The maximum current delivered through the USB type C port to the device being charged. Note that different ports of a charging station may deliver different currents (for example, 1.5A and 2.1A). In such cases, the highest current is usually specified.
— Power. The maximum power in watts (W) that the charging station can deliver to one charging gadget. The high output power of the USB type C port allows for faster charging. However, the device being charged must support the corresponding power; otherwise, the speed of the process will be limited by the gadget's specifications.

Add. ports
Additional input connectors provided in the design of the charging station in addition to those described above.
Connecting an additional battery
Ability to connect an external battery to the charging station to increase the overall energy consumption and, as a result, extend the battery life. This connection is fast and convenient. On the other hand, the battery takes up extra space on the outside, making the whole structure more cumbersome.
Battery capacity
Nominal battery capacity, in fact - the amount of energy that is supposed to be stored. The larger it is, the longer the battery life of the charging station will be, all other things being equal. On the other hand, this parameter also affects the dimensions, weight and price of the battery, despite the fact that an energy-intensive battery is not always required. By the indicator of capacity in watt-hours, you can compare batteries with each other.
