you are correct , so one can actually just get another battery with bms built in and they do the same connection to the 1300 as he did? Im a rookie here , just asking lolMost of Jehu's livestream was of him building the ammobox battery. Skip way forward to see how he connected it in parallel with the Delta's internal battery.
Yes but it needs to have the same cell configuration and chemistry as OM packyou are correct , so one can actually just get another battery with bms built in and they do the same connection to the 1300 as he did? Im a rookie here , just asking lol
Will, i stumbled upon your youtube channel and i have to say .. Im very happy I did. I think the way you come across is real and as a business person , you handle yourself and self promote in a very professional way .. and in doing so .. you should earn as much as you deserve , a job well done . I'm a pretty busy guy , so at this point in life, i really dont have the time to set up all the great stuff I've seen from you and watched many of your videos. Anyways .. I ordered the Ecoflow for this reason, I figure , for $1200.00 all all that it does , only a couple hundred bucks more then a great 100ah battery , Yes? .. I got it ..really just for emergencies if power out for 8, 10, 14 hours ...whatever, to be able to power a home Refrigerator and few other things for a while , but since , i figure a couple more refrigerators for 2 other apartments in our home ... I realize now , while the ecoflow , could power all that ...the time to run will be greatly reduced ..you get the idea ... you need more battery and with the ecoflow , you need to daisy chain another unit or 2 ... i dont like that ... Will, i saw that other fellow do the hack in adding battery .. i have a few questions , one i dont have the time or energy to build the battery packs like he did .. i have no problem , spending money to have more power for the ecoflow ... i'd just like a simpler hack ..lol ... Question , if these units can be daisy chained from the plugs , why cant you daisy chain them to an external battery ( I'm a Rookie so dumb questions i know ..lol ... I dont know if you saw his video on hack or even know the guy, seem pretty smart in this stuff like you.Yes but it needs to have the same cell configuration and chemistry as OM pack
I would not build expandable pack for the delta. It's not designed to be used for stationary use really. Especially considering round trip efficiency. Use a Titan instead or build your own. Much easier than trying to hack the delta and to deal with the inherent downsides.Will, i stumbled upon your youtube channel and i have to say .. Im very happy I did.

Thanks again
It would be kinda cool to do something like that to the Bluetti. But instead of expanding the capacity, it is to have external access to the battery for a sligtly more powerful external inverter.Most of Jehu's livestream was of him building the ammobox battery. Skip way forward to see how he connected it in parallel with the Delta's internal battery.
Do they make remade batteries to those specs Will ?Yes but it needs to have the same cell configuration and chemistry as OM pack
The EcoFlow Delta is limited to 10 amps. Let's say those three panels produce a max of 5 amps each. If they are connected in parallel, they can produce 15 amps total but the Delta will only accept 10 amps. Generally, these solar stations have charge controllers designed for series connections (accept higher voltage) than parallel (high amps). The latter requires thicker wires and more safety. Will also said something about not necessarily trusting the current limiting of the Delta, but he did not say why. I guess it's not something you would want to depend on.I saw in Will's video that charging the ecoflow with panels in parallel is not recommended, but why?
Complete noob here. I saw in Will's video that charging the ecoflow with panels in parallel is not recommended, but why? Recently bought an RV with one panel charging the house battery and 3 in parallel that previous owner had used to charge a yeti 1000 with MPPT controller. Just trying to figure out easiest way to take advantage of what I've got.
As I understand it, the Delta's inverter always consumes battery power when the AC output is on. This causes the phantom current drain that periodically triggers a re-charge. This is different from a normal UPS where the inverter is normally disabled and bypassed with a relay.
That's interesting but what I can't find is the voltage range for solar. 25A seems very high. 300W is lower than the Delta but no mention of voltage. ?Will just reviewed one of KiloVault's batteries. They also make a generator that is somewhat similar to the Delta. It's not as pretty as EcoFlow's products but it has an external expansion battery port that the Delta lacks:
RES-Q Portable Emergency Power Unit - KiloVault
The KiloVault RES-Q is a portable power pack that provides emergency backup power for critical household appliances as big as a refrigerator.kilovault.com
The manual states that the KiloVault RES-Q only accepts 12 V sources. ("for example, solar panel, hand crank, windmill, etc.") The weight could be a deal (and back!) breaker for sure. It's also more expensive. Anyway, I hope that Ecoflow includes a battery expansion port on their follow up.That's interesting but what I can't find is the voltage range for solar. 25A seems very high. 300W is lower than the Delta but no mention of voltage. ?
The battery cycle life is way better than the Delta but it weighs DOUBLE! 62lbs. Yikes.
