How we calculated this
We start from the EcoFlow River 3 Plus's 218 Wh of estimated usable energy at the outlet — its 286 Wh rating, derated for a safe depth of discharge and ~15% inverter loss — then divide by the steam deck / handheld's 25W draw:
218 Wh ÷ 25 W ≈ 8.7 hours
Real-world runtime varies with temperature, cable losses, and how hard the appliance actually cycles. Treat this as a solid estimate, not a guarantee.
