The negative is shared on mine. So no-go on series.
I will point out, that the one that outputs 58v (and a 56v one) does not share the negative, according to the pic. So this info might help someone else...
The boost device does work, ~750w continuous charge. So this will be my solution. No more messing with inverters.
And it seems to not tax my auto battery nearly as much. Voltage dropped to 14.3. With inverter it was dropping to around 11.4 or so with 1200w ac draw.
This will allow me to...
For about 4 minutes, I thought it worked. I think I'm done trying this solution and now I'll try the DC boost device. Boost Device
Here are my findings.
For the first few minutes when I thought it was working... 1180 coming out of the inverter, 1135 going into the EcoFlow from the PS
Then...
More research. This guy tested a inverter with GFCI, same one I linked, with his (Tesla?) car charger. He said a normal inverter would not charge is auto without an N-G bond plug. The GFCI outlet did in fact work to charge his car without a N-G bond plug.
Time is aournd 20 minutes in.
Might depend on the power supply. Some might be ok, some not. I have used a 1500w pure sine wave inverter hooked up to my SUV's battery to charge my power station, so far without issues. My power station allows me to set the max charge wattage, I set that to 1200w or so, but I've done 1500w...
I guess I'd have to contact several inverter companies and ask if they sell such a product, since I don't know that that is on any spec sheet. I actually asked Giandel as part of my question if they sold anything that would work for me. I'm unsure if they answered that, with all the GFCI text...
The AC cable I connect to the PS, does have a ground wire, and that ground wire is connected to the PS ground connector.
I just know that it works off wall AC, not off the inverter AC.
It's not the ecoflow that is having the issue. The ecoflow charges fine from the inverter AC at 1200w. It's the external switching power supply that will not provide proper DC output from the inverter AC, but it does provide proper DC from a home wall outlet AC. My use case is at the top of...
I wrote Giandel, and can't parse the answer fully. Basically asked if I can use the n-g bond plug with their product, or if there was some other way to get my PS to work.
"Thank you for purchasing our Giandel power inverter.
If you connect the inverter's LN to Ground terminal, this is...
Hey, that does look to be a fairly nice option! Input range does say 16v, so I think that would cover my auto overvolting issues.
That looks like it might be a solid backup plan if I can’t figure out my inverter issues. Or perhaps it’s worth it to just have a simpler setup.
What happens when the EF tries to pull 16.6 amps from that? Does it quit? Does it burn up? Does it provide a stable 10a?

I see this. Seems small. Unsure how I’d connect this to an...
