    EcoFlow Delta Max 2000 Automobile Charge

    The XT60i car cable is wired to limit to 8 amps. Use existing or buy another solar cable to get the max input.

    My Growatt has been switching between 50hz on battery and 60hz grid for months - what devices have I ruined or potential damages?

    Off grid system , and it was set to 60hz Reset twice before. Unless US intermittently switches to 50hz while I’m charging.

    A Strange Issue that occurred on my Ecoflow Delta Pro and the 10 second fix.

    This fix is in the faq section of the app. I found it by accident when my pro and extra battery stopped staying in sync chargewise. Took 2 complete cycles. I use 80 to 20% in normal operation.

    Mine has done this a few times now. At first I thought it was my fault because I had changed some settings. i noticed my air purifier and central heating fan makes a different noise. Sure enough 50hz, I haven’t made any changes in months.

    I just don’t have the skillset…. So, how “easy” are solar generator systems??

    Sure why not have 4 12 volt batteries when one can have one 48 volt battery, as an example. YouTube videos showing builds on hand trucks with one 48 volt battery, all in one inverter and electrical connections are nice. They are easily scalable by connecting additional batteries in a stationary...

    If you do EBay Ecoflow and EBay are selling refurbished Delta Pros and other equipment with full warranties at good prices. I bought several items and they are perfect condition. No company will I know will warranty customer errors that blows up their product, if you exceed specs, even with...

    I just don’t have the skillset…. So, how “easy” are solar generator systems??

    Reality is some people just need for fix problems with a check, my brother is that way, brilliant at his job, plenty people are. Some have interesting life experiences by not admitting it upfront. Power stations like the Delta Pro and others with LifePro4 batteries were built for you. Press...

    Mpp or Growatt?

    My 48v 3K Growatt has settings for bulk,absorp,float plus other options for starting stopping charging and switchover. You should talk to a marine knowledgable distributor. Wiring, bonding requirements, and shore power connections etc. are different in that world.

    Just got Ecoflow Delta PRO, can I use external LiFePO4 batteries to add capacity??

    A power supply isn’t a 48v battery, power supply is fused and can’t deliver massive amps, solar panels are fused by most. Everything is fine until it isn’t.

    Just got Ecoflow Delta PRO, can I use external LiFePO4 batteries to add capacity??

    The YouTube videos I’ve seen used scooter batteries or DIY 18650’s. Has anyone connected a LiPo4 48 volt 100AH battery like this? if I do this with my Delta Pro I’m going to use a 10 amp fuse in case it doesn’t go as planned. Even though the fuse likely wouldn’t blow quick enough to protect...
