Yes, this is one of the outlets in the PHEV.

I did check the AC outlet, looks good.

The Outlander PHEV manual cautions against using the built-in 1500w PSW inverter with a home "distribution panel". Is there a legitimate concern here or do you think that's just CYA on their part?

If you use FaceBook I would ask in the EcoFlow Delta group.

Nothing exact, but as much as possible. I have a few power stations and a couple of 100ah 12v batteries for storage. A tri-fuel generator also, but want the solar generation also. There is room on the balcony for at least 700w of flexible panels, more for rigid. And even more if I decide to use...

Does anybody have experience or know of anyone who has used Alrska panels? They are on Amazon also but no reviews yet. They are a good wattage and size for my use case so I'm considering them.

That was kind of the idea after originally testing these. I would buy a few more flexible panels and add minimal PVC for support. But... I'd rather not build framing if I don't have to, and the flexible panels are not getting the output a rigid panel would. That's pretty relevant in the context...

Completely agree under typical usage. These would only be in place for about 3 hours and taken down, and only when grid is down. The frame would be attached to the balcony railing with something like metal plumbing tape. I could do the same for the side resting against the house if I drill into...

I'm looking for options to temporarily mount panels during grid outages. 3 story townhouse in a set of connected townhouses so I can't use the roof, and no yard for ground mount. The front patio gets about 1.5 hours of direct overhead sunlight. The west-facing balcony gets about 3.5 hours of...

This is the cart Tre Nt linked to in his post in the DELTA Series group. Of course @Will Prowse just covered his suggested Delta Pro rack here.

I would guess that it's on the grid side, if it's possible.

Will I be able to continue using my Reliance manual transfer switch if we get Enphase Sunlight Backup? I don’t know if the switch will work with their load controllers.

I don't believe EcoFlow has officially stated their business reasons. If people weren't buying NMC then I guess they would move the whole production line to LiFePO4? They obviously use LifFePO4 for the Delta Pro so they must use it where they think it's appropriate. Possibly a moot point and...

This comes up fairly regularly in the official EcoFlow Facebook groups. My short 2 cents. I don’t need the cycles for my application, grid outages. I’ll never come close to 800 cycles to lose 20% capacity. I would get the Delta Pro if I needed to cycle daily. I prefer the lighter weight of my...

A manual transfer switch or interlock kit are the common ways to do that. I use a Reliance Pro/Tran 2.

He didn't seem familiar with this issue when I contact him. Did he refund you?

@Browneye here is the seller's reply: I'm fine with the battery charging to 13.8 but I don't like that the AC charger keeps shutting off and then turns back on to try and charge. I need to buy a few more and put in series for 24v but I'm not confident in this battery right now.

Thanks! Might be too fancy for my use :-) I do have a Giandel inverter but I'm mainly intending on using the batteries to add capacity to my portable power stations in grid outages. So I should be charging very infrequently. And I'd like to charge quickly from a generator at that time. So far...

I've been close to getting the AIMS 12/24v charger for a while. Will that help? I haven't seen this with the same charger and my other 12v battery. So the BMS is causing the charger to shut off when it gets to 13.8, and then it starts up again because it's trying to charge to 14.6?

Thanks for the help. I did contact them earlier, we'll see what he says. I have a very basic charger, no way to change settings.

According to the document that comes with it, the BMS voltage cutoff is 14.6.

I just checked mine and it only charges to 13.8. The AC charger keeps cycling and tries to get it to 13.9 but it won't. Should I try and return it?

That used to be the case. I just checked and the Powerwall is not required for solar roof or panels.

EcoFlow seems more on top of their game, I'd go with the Delta Pro personally. I doubt you could get a Titan in any reasonable timeframe.

Thanks! That's exactly what I did earlier today, with a bit of cushion around the pliers to prevent thread damage. I suspect that the thumb/knob will get stuck like that every time you tighten it down. Have you found that to be the case?

Thanks, sounds good. Do you have a link handy?

I sent the seller a message to see what they say since the charger they sell also uses alligator clips. I'm thinking my best bet is to get screws with hex nuts attached on top like my other battery.

That's the problem, the clips are hardwired on the LiFePO battery charger. There is no room to get a clip on underneath the positive cap/knob.

Gotta be user error here, I haven't had a battery with removable posts before. What's the correct way to put these posts in? The positive post plastic cap is stuck to the screw so there is not enough room to for battery charger clips.

Thanks @Bob142. I checked with watt meter on the fridge AC plug yesterday. Voltage was 122 on grid, 119 from Delta mini and transfer switch. Doesn't seem like much difference. Unfortunately in my haste to troubleshoot I plugged the Delta mini into AC charging to see if the EPS/UPS/bypass would...

I have a Reliance manual transfer switched used with a generator, Giandel inverter + battery, or AC200P without any issues. I got an EcoFlow Delta mini (x2) and using that source my refrigerator lights are flickering and the power draw seems higher than I see with the other power sources. The...

My apologies for the odd use case here. I'm trying to charge a power station via the PV input from a standalone 12V LiFePO battery or the 12V battery in a hybrid vehicle in case of power outage. The power station will take 300W 11–75V DC 10A max. So without the boost converter I can only charge...

Would this 24v converter (240w) be safer? If I enter <= 22 amps in the calculator with same settings used for the other converter it recommends AWG 14, which is what this converter has. But if you enter 23 amps it recommends AWG 12.

I put the same entries into their app and website, but even with 35 amps and 90ºC insulation it still gives me 12 AWG wire. I had to enter 75ºC insulation to get it to recommend 10 AWG. Am I missing another setting?

Far from optimal I know, but it's a cheapish way of extending the runtime. Otherwise I have to use an inverter on the battery to use the power station's AC charger.
