    Hi, Just saw @Will Prowse video about the Ecoflow Delta 2 : After an outage (AC input down, battery discharge, AC output goes off when battery empty) does it turn AC output back on automatically when grid power returns? Could someone test this? On the Ecoflow river 2 this is not the case...

    Ecoflow river 2 does not turn AC output back on automatically when grid power returns

    Interesting reply from ecoflow support: To forumers if you have ecoflow river 2 could you test what happens when: - unplug the unit from AC input - discharge the unit using an AC load until the river 2 shuts off itd AC output (you can set battery min level to 30% to speed up and avoid reaching...

    Ecoflow river 2 does not turn AC output back on automatically when grid power returns

    I did a few test with computer stuff plugged in the river 2 today, a 48x1G + 6x10G switch from fs.com (20 Watt) and a Dell T630 workstation (60-90 Watt) and the switch from grid to battery to grid did work flawlessly, tested multiple times and no issue. My request to ecoflow support for the "AC...

    Ecoflow river 2 does not turn AC output back on automatically when grid power returns

    Thanks for the feedback! Before my testing I have installed the latest firmware V3.1.1.33 V2.1.1.50(Wi-Fi) "12-28-2022" according to release notes. I don't see a "Lab feature" page in the app for my river 2 (V4.2.0.12 on Android)

    Hot swappable batteries / ideal diodes

    Stupid question : why not parallel everything ? Top balance the 4 batteries initially, wire them in parallel, put the 3 mppt in parallel too (victron mppt can also communicate and sync with data cables). The batteries should not get out of sync. If you need to fill up the batteries, just...

    Rack LFP battery models available in Europe other than Pylontech?

    Hi, I'm watching reviews of many new rack LFP batteries like SOK but when I look in Europe web stores they're mostly selling pylontech and no other brand. Do you have suggestions and experience with european sellers of non pylontech rack LFP batteries ? Thanks!
