I did NOT get a firmware upgrade. She had told me to try the new cable first, which I did and it seems to work fine without the upgrade. I didn't feel like shipping the whole Delta unit in and waiting to get it back. As for the difference in cables, I don't think you can tell the actual gauge...

Hey, I'm less than a novice so I can certainly bear with you and let's both just hope that someone who IS good with electrical monitors this convo to help out. :) 1) No - someone else did that - I know nothing about that. I received a new, supposedly improved, cable from EcoFlow to replace...

Hi Boondock Saint! My "actuator" is an old 3-prong rake to extend my panels and some wire cables with carabiner clips to pull them back in and secure them to the storage box. :) See my comments and photos above (or below, or somewhere on this thread). I'm happy with the system but have to...

Yep - see the photos above. We used stainless steel drawer slides 150 lb rating (although I wish he'd gone with more). I just pull them out with an older little rake that I found at a used tool shed that I actually had bought a few months ago to help me pull the sewer valve lever from...

Sounds like you're having some fun, in any case. I have been charging the EcoFlow Delta the past few days with the new cable they sent me using a 12v cig lighter style outlet that is powered through my house AGM batteries, no inverter needed, and it has been working fine. The amps are staying...

Hi.yes. The 4 panels are up and 2 with drawer slides work great. It is a "basic" setup, not fancy. I pull them out when parked and it adds 12-20 amps (*edited from 8-10 amps, I often get 16). Wire cables for pulling then back in and securing so they stay in. So far so good.

So you did a system redo - that's what I'm doing. The 2006 Sprinter cargo van was originally built out in 2010-11 (I bought it in 2016) so the components are "old style." I didn't want to put $10k+ into this so I stayed with AGM but added 400 more watts to the roof and a BMS. The plug on the...

I, too, thought how could I switch my SCC to the Delta from the house but instead I just use my 640 watts (mixed roof and portable) to charge house AGMs then use 110 (with inverter) to charge the Delta, early enough in day so the house batteries recharge for the rest of sunny part of day. I can...

UPDATE 10/22/21: EcoFlow has admitted that their cable is not good, well they didn't say that but they are sending me a newer, better one. Also, they are aware of the issue and have an upgrade for the firmware but I have to send it in (at their expense, at least). In the meantime, I had...

? Right. Correction, my Zamp panels are only 140 watts (70 each) and even though you can use their connectors to go to the Delta, which you do not have but I do, that reverse polarity thing is troublesome.

I'm glad you went with the AC200P. I'm limited with what I can lift (old back) so I had to settle for the Delta, plus I primarily use it in my Sprinter which is already crowded. I don't actually know if the Zamp has it's own controller. When I purchased the Zamp a few years ago, probably 2017...
