Ecoflow River 2 Max discharging without any load

[mxgoncharov]

Hi all ?

I’m newbie here and don’t understand all details about how inverters work.

But I have a situation.
I’m happy owner of River Max and River 2 Max.

The issue is capacity draining.
When I turn off AC sockets on River 2 Max it says that in such condition it will work for about 30-32 hours.
With really simple math (512wh/31=16.5w) I found that it uses 16.5 watts for smth.
Also when there is any load on sockets this difference goes up to 20-25 watts.

If I’m understanding correctly inverter might take some percentage of load, not constant value.

So here is a question. Is it okay?
Should it take so much power for “nothing”?
I can’t imagine what might need so much power inside those cutie brick.

Thanks in advance

The electronics consume a little bit.
I wouldn't think it would be that much. Unless the fan is running.

Without load fan is off. No noise, no ticks, nothing

A bit warm top and battery draining )

I’ve asked friends about their experience and 4 of them see 99hrs there without such effect and 3 told me almost same numbers as I have

My river pro just says 99 hrs, also.
Wasn't sure if the river 2 max would be the same.

I have river max also. It says 99.

Thanks for your numbers )

Is it still under warranty?
If so, I'd be making a call.
