Jenny, I suggested using a desktop computer to test the UPS functionality because a laptop immediately switches to battery back up if the AC is disconnected. Unplugging the Delta merely simulates a power outage, and seeing if your desktop "hiccups" just shows if the Delta switched fast enough...

Jenny, Pure Sine Wave was always there. Without seeing the original dampeners, we'll have to trust them that they gave us the upgraded dampeners. : ) ; ) : O For UPS, plug in a desktop computer to the Delta, and the Delta to the wall. Pull the plug out of the wall, and if the computer...

Jenny, Mine is Model EF3 Pro. Yes, it is funny that their website says In Stock, yet backers are still waiting. As for building your own, I like Will's approach, but have gotten such a good deal on used and new Valence brand batteries, 40Ah, 130Ah, and 138Ah, that it would cost more for me to...

Hello Jenny, Yes, I have been building them since 2014. When a new one comes out with promising features, I buy one, and run it through its paces. The ultra-fast charging was the Delta's forte. But, the price for this aggressive charging is its short life. EcoFlew tries to hide it by...

Hello Jenny, Yep, I think we've been "Delta'd", and, we're not the only ones. No new reply from EcoFlew here. At least my 1300's, 110w, and 21w panels, were not damaged. They are still usable, but terrible efficiency. New issues I have noticed: 1) Even when solar charging with only 10~17...

Has anyone tried to return a Delta 1300 through their "Customer Service" group? I am having terrible results. Here is what I finally posted in their Comments Section on Kickstarter: ECOFLOW, YOU SENT A FLIMSY REPLY TO MY FIRST EMAIL, AND NOW YOU IGNORE MY REPLY. YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE BUT TO...

Tim, Lost In The Desert, RandyRoad, you were correct, I missed that until I opened this last comment on my phone and zoomed in; didn't see that on my laptop...good to know. Hoping that they will send Will a sample...maybe they fixed the Delta shortcomings. (I still wouldn't buy it, but other's...

1) I have not been using an equalizer, just running banks in parallel. That was with the (27) 139Ah black Valence batteries I bought in 2014. They started life in an electric bus, then as an UPS in a printing factory, then I repurposed them. I am looking at equalizers now because I want to...

To be fair, it also is Bluetooth connected, and you could remotely monitor and turn lights, AC and DC outputs on and off. Plus Qi wireless charging. It was pretty slick, but once it wouldn't take a charge, it slowly turned into a brick, with no real factory support. I build Solar generators...

Guys, that picture is from the Allpowers Indiegogo campaign, not the Monster X one that hasn't launched. And, the $153K was the total pledge amount; not the individual price. All I was saying is to be careful with this new one...if it is Allpowers, I would not buy from someone that wants me to...

@ FilterGuy, 1) Not in parallel, but if using in series you need a minimum of an equalizer, per the guy that I bought the (4) batteries from. 2) No. A BMS would have relay/contacter outputs to disconnect in this case. What I have done is set the Midnight Solar Classic 150 to .4v below the max...

I drove to Racine WI to pick up (4) of the U27-12XP batteries from them. At that time he told me they were coming out with an equalizer. A couple of months later I asked, and no reply. I see now that they have this, along with the $399 BMS from your link. Please tell me if I am wrong, but I...

I sure hope this Monster X is not "related" to the Monster by Allpowers that was on Indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/monster-smartest-fastest-portable-power-station/x/13989467#/ That thing worked great for 4 cycles, then would not take a charge. They even deleted one backers...
