Can the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro Run a Pellet Stove?
Yes. With 768Wh of LiFePO4 battery capacity (653Wh usable after 85% AC inverter conversion) and a 800W continuous / 1600W surge pure sine wave inverter, the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro should run a Wood Pellet Stove (Auger, Blower & Igniter) for approximately 5.3 hrs on a single charge.
- Usable Watt-Hours: The EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro holds 768Wh, which yields about 653Wh of 120V AC power, assuming ~15% DC-to-AC inverter loss.
- Pellet Stove Duty Cycle: While active, a Pellet Stove pulls 135W (with a 450W startup spike). Over a multi-hour period, its 85% duty cycle averages ~115W per hour (plus ~8W inverter standby overhead).
- Tip: Pellet stoves have sensitive circuit boards and variable-speed combustion blowers that REQUIRE a 100% Pure Sine Wave inverter (all 10 LiFePO4 stations in our database are Pure Sine Wave). A 1,024Wh unit runs a pellet stove for ~7–8 hours; a 2,048Wh unit runs it for 14–16+ hours through the coldest night.
