Compare EcoFlow RIVER 3 UPS and RIVER 3
Comparing the EcoFlow RIVER 3 UPS charging station and the EcoFlow RIVER 3, it is worth noting that both models have the same nominal and peak power (300 W and 600 W respectively), as well as the same number of outputs and battery type (LiFePO4) with a capacity of 245 Wh. However, the key difference is the switch-over speed of the UPS function: the RIVER 3 UPS model has a switch-over speed of 10 ms, while the RIVER 3 has 20 ms, making the former model more preferable for critical devices. Both devices have similar size and weight (254x210x112 mm and 3.5 kg), as well as the ability to charge from solar panels. Users note the high reliability and ease of use of both models, but the RIVER 3 UPS receives more positive reviews for its quick reaction when switching to UPS.

Glossary
Switchover time to battery
The delay (usually in milliseconds) between the power going out from the outlet and the moment when the station starts feeding connected devices from its battery, maintaining "pass-through" power. The shorter this time, the higher the chance that devices won't notice the drop at all: for routers, cameras, NAS, and PCs, this is critical because a long pause can cause a reboot, loss of connection, or even filesystem errors. Essentially, this is the same parameter as in a classic UPS, but for charging stations, it greatly depends on implementation: models with a more "UPS-like" switching scheme switch considerably faster, while some stations formally have a UPS mode but actually create a noticeable break or activate the output only after "realizing" the network's loss. In practice, this point helps distinguish a charging station that is truly suitable as a UPS for sensitive electronics from an option "for lights and charging": for example, for home internet and video surveillance, minimal switching time is important, while for lamps, charging phones, or a heater, a brief pause is typically not critical.
Warranty
Warranties for charging stations usually provide users with protection against manufacturing defects and malfunctions for a certain period, which may vary depending on the manufacturer. Warranty service includes free repair or replacement of components if the problem is not the user's fault. The warranty period can be from one year to several years, and it is important to consider conditions such as correct installation, use of the station for its intended purpose, and compliance with technical requirements.
