RIVER 2 vs RIVER 3: 12V runtime test with the First Generation GLACIER
These are the results of a first generation GLACIER runtime comparison test between the RIVER 2 (256 Wh) and RIVER 3 (245 Wh) using a 12V car charging cable. I took screenshots every hour to track the differences between the two power stations in terms of their efficiency. The first generation GLACIER was set to 4C on the left and -18C on the right. The ambient temperature was 19C.🔋⚡️🔋RIVER 2 (12 hours 3 minutes):3:46 pm 100%4:46 pm 92%5:46 pm 84%6:46 pm 75%7:46 pm 69%8:46 pm 58%9:46 pm 51%10:46 pm 45%11:46 pm 34%12:46 am 28%1:46 am 20%2:46 am 9%3:46 am 2%3:49 am 0%-RIVER 3 (11 hours 54 minutes):8:06 am 100%9:06 am 87%10:06 am 80%11:06 am 73%12:06 pm 60%1:06 pm 52%2:06 pm 44%3:06 pm 34%4:06 pm 28%5:06 pm 21%6:06 pm 13%7:07 pm 5%8:00 pm 0%🔋⚡️🔋Initially, the RIVER 2 appears to be more efficient. However, in the latter half of the test, the RIVER 2 and RIVER 3 start to even out. Both power stations lasted around 12 hours. The RIVER 3 lasted 11 hours and 54 minutes, while the RIVER 2 lasted 12 hours and 3 minutes. Considering the 11 Wh difference in battery capacity between the two power stations, the runtime is still acceptably similar, with the RIVER 2 running 9 minutes longer in duration.
