The station can only power Type C devices and delivers a combined 270W in a compact footprint, the size of a soda can. The Rapid Pro X supports the new 140W power distribution profile and fully charges from its 100WH capacity in less than an hour. The EcoFlow offers a desktop charger that includes five additional USB ports and fast charging, making it an ideal companion for the ProX.
Only the Pro X will cost $299 and is currently available discount 0 for 260. Accessories include a desktop 300W charger for $150, and a 140W GAN Rapid Pro AC adapter for $80.
Ecoflow Rapid Pro X: Design
The EcoFlow Pro X battery ships in a compact box, with just a charging cable and user guide. The unit weighs 700 grams and measures 5.7 cm x 8.4 cm x 15.2 cm, making it easy to throw in a bag. The plastic case with its rounded edges fits easily in the palm. Power contacts are on the top and bottom, and the plastic shell can be replaced if the case is scratched or cracked.
The front panel plays on a large 5″ color display with menus using three touch buttons on the right side. Two buttons control the up and down menus, while a third validates selections. The unit vibrates when touched, and the backlight turns off after 60 minutes of inactivity.
The Pro X hosts three Type-C connectors at the top. The blue connector on the left, known as C1, supports up to 140W of power for downstream devices. The remaining two connectors, C2 and C3, each output 65W, and C1 can make the Pro X a 270W unit.
The built-in 100WH lithium-polymer battery charges via either the high-power C1 connector or the docking connector on the bottom. Type-C charging is convenient for on-the-go use and requires only a standard power adapter.
With an input power of up to 140W, charging time is approximately 40 minutes. A faster method is via a docking station, which can transmit up to 240W, resulting in a full charge in less than 30 minutes.
Ecoflow Rapid Pro X: In use
EcoFlow Pro X setup is straightforward thanks to a well-designed user interface. We recommend charging the ProX first, then connecting it to the mobile app, which is available on both Apple and Android platforms.
A firmware update may be available and pushed to the device. Local clock auto-adjusts once connected to the app. The unit features a timer that can be timed out in five minute increments.
The rate at which the ProX charges through its base station is not constant. The unit will first charge at full power, delivering 240W through the bottom pins, but will gradually decrease to settle at about 40% battery charge at 60W. On the other hand, charging through the 140W GAN EcoFlow adapter provides a constant flow and is generally faster.
The mobile app displays the current charging rate for the internal battery and the output power rate for each connected device. Since all outputs are always active, the ProX will automatically discharge itself in a day or two, even when no device is connected.
This is due to having an active Wi-Fi connection. The unit itself will also dissipate heat. We recommend turning it off via the menu when not in use for an extended period of time.
In addition to not fully utilizing the 320W capacity when paired with the Rapid Pro desktop charger, the Pro X’s battery only delivers 300 charge cycles before experiencing a 20% capacity drop.
EcoFlo Rapid Pro X: The Competition
The EcoFlow Pro X’s main competitor is the Inker Prime Power Bank, which has a similar form factor and power capacity.
The Pro X has a lower output power capacity, at 300W, compared to the Prime’s 250W. The three Type-C sockets are also more helpful than the two Type-C and one Type-A available in the Prime.
EcoFlo Rapid Pro X: The Final Verdict
EcoFlow Pro X is a great portable power source for quickly charging multiple Type-C devices. Its main selling points are a better UI, a brighter display, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
With an easy-to-use mobile app, the unit integrates seamlessly into the Ecoflow ecosystem. Thanks to the new 140W Type-C power profile, it will charge devices faster than conventional adapters.
Its main drawbacks are its ability to self-discharge when unplugged and a rapid charge that settles over time at low input power.
We liked the hassle-free docking and ease of taking up some wall space when paired with a fast desktop charger.
