    This device goes a long way towards redeeming EF in my eyes. I broke down and got the Wave 2 with battery and the Delta 2 with battery a year or so ago, and this DC charger makes them so much more usable. Thanks to your code and the sale, I went overboard and got a Delta 2 Max and a second Wave 2 with battery plus the DC charger, free solar panel and some other accessories. If you buy over $2k you get 12% off plus your discount on everything but the already steal of a deal on the Wave 2 with battery which is $1200 for a limited time. Given the new round of tariffs set to take effect in less than 90 days, I would grab what you can now. Thanks Hobotech!

    I can't get over how quiet EcoFlow was about this release. I get it, though. They recently dropped a new "flagship" product, so they problem didn't think this would be a major blip on the radar.
    Oh, how wrong they were!
    I hate inflammatory adjectives (however, I used one), but this is nothing short of revolutionary!
    I wasn't planning on using this even though I saw a lot of potential with it. MUCH MORE TO THIS THAN MEETS THE EYE!

Its a way to charge the eco flow and a way to feed your vehicle power from the eco flow too!

    I was prepared to be unimpressed with this product, but it's really much more than your normal DC-DC charger. It's a genuinely "smart" buck/boost converter, giving you a lot more options and versatility. I'm not a fan of proprietary tech but for anyone already invested in the EF ecosystem, it makes a lot of sense.

Anyway…I was really impressed with this review…it just goes to show that although solar and wind are a great source, there will always be a need for internal combustion, and this new product as simple as it is, really fills a need for when the SHTF.

      @@pcha151 the $25 coupon was offered if you already have an account with EcoFlow. From what I can figure out, it looks like I accrued points, or “Eco-bucks” from previous purchases. So when I went to checkout, I had 2 coupons waiting for me…a $15 and the $25. I chose the $25. Even without the coupons, a $1000 for a Delta 2, Alternator chargers, and a 110 watt solar panel is a screaming deal.

    I love your videos. I wish this could handle non-Ecoflow setups. When I built my power backup for my house, I stuck to a 12 volt system so it could be recharged from my alternator. I just didn't see any 12v-->48v chargers I would trust. If you have a way to use this with other LiFePO4 batteries, I would be interested in how it's done.
    One of the concerns I have is with drawing 800 watts/ ~60 amps from an alternator for an extended period. I have one car with a 140 amp alternator that would be fine, but my little Honda's alternator is only 70 amps and, from what I've seen online, would probably fry fairly quickly at idle if I pulled 60 continuous amps. I know you can adjust the charge rate in the Delta, but it would have been nice to include a little info about where to set it in comparison to the alternator output. 40% - 50%?

      @@highwaymen1237 Anyone adding components to their electrical system should be doing a 30 second google search on their vehicle’s specifications what I’m trying to get at is that I believe they choose 800w at 76A to make it the most idiot proof possible what you say is true there will be a few people who don’t understand this stuff, so long as the vehicle is moving a alternator won’t mind running near full duty cycle they are made for it that is the whole point of the ratings they are fan cooled and run at a faster speed than the engine due to the pully ratio on the aux belt
      Would be interesting to see if they have anything in the manual about setting up a lower charge speed if you don’t have the output available in your car I took a read of the manual online and it doesn’t mention it in there

    Your content is really making a difference in my life. THANK YOU!
    Going to YT school for sure.
    I gobble up your videos like candy and come back for seconds and thirds.
    I just ordered the Delta2Max, extreme battery, 2-220watt solar panels and the alternator charger.
    I've watched this video four or five time, rewinding a good bit.
    Is there a specific battery I have to buy to use in the house?
    Can I buy one that I can put in my car, if the old one dies?
    What about the Power queen LiFePO4 battery you reviewed, would that be better to use with the alternator charger?
    If so, will that work in my car?

    Keep in mind idling your vehicle for hours in the heat will cause many problems and break downs, just something to keep in mind if someone intends on doing that cuz your vehicle wont last very long like that lol. Short term or smaller sessions shouldnt really be a problem especially if the vehicle is in motion.

    Great video Professor. I have purchased the Ecoflow alternator and plan to hook it up to my truck battery. I also want to be able to hook up to a house battery in a truck camper. I noticed you put clamps on cables to do this in the extended video. Did you cut an existing cable from Ecoflow to do this or did you make your own with a separate pin. Basically, I need two cables to switch applications since my truck battery cable will be permanently installed while the house camper battery will not. I have not seen where I can buy another cable from Ecoflow, albeit a shorter one. Thanks, if you can get me any information on my dilemma.

I missing part to see how this charger co-exist with other Delta 2 Max charging options - what would happen if you connect Alt and a Solar? Alt and a AC charging? If you connect Delta to AC source and activate reverse charging? Does it have priority and/or limitation for simultaneous charging? For some reason all reviews talk only about Alt charging directly from car battery...

    my v6 gas/petrol has 130amp alternator (but is 15 years old!) and fresh AGM battery with 70 AmpHr (like your Sprinter's), roughly how much wattage output can I expect from this DC-DC charger? and what's a safe setting in the app for my setup?
    Also, let's say my car battery goes flat at 11.2v, approx how much % of the delta 2 should I 'reserve' as emergency? is the reverse an instantaneous jump start or i will be waiting some time for the AGM car battery to have enough current to turn the starter?
    thank you for the technical help

    I can do that with my integrated power inverter 400w in the Ford Bronco Sport Badlands (Ac to Dc) and i have a Noco 12A 10A to charge any type of battery (lead acid, lithium, agm 12v and 6v battery) that i plug on an ac port of the bluetti ac 200L or jackery 10000, Combined with my 420w bluetti portable panel, it is great. I have also a more powerful Rowpow Ac to dc 12v plug converter which delivers 200w to run more powerful compressors. The 12v plug in those powerstation bluetti, ecoflow, jackery..are limited to around 120w max, which is not enough for powerful 12v tools.
