Been waiting for you to review this! Please put out an installation video if you happen to be building one out. Curious to see how, or your recommendation on hooking it up to a DC Air unit like a Dometic Rtx.
This is a nice kit. Well integrated. Will be interested to see how durability and customer support stack up. That is where I’ve really come to appreciate my Victron system with 3000 watt inverter and 400 amp hours. That said, this system is nice for its connectivity and pricing is not that far off when I add up all my components, my time and the hassle of sourcing wiring, connectors, fuses and switches from multiple sources. It’s nice to see a manufacturer thinking these systems through to make them easier to install, operate and potentially safer as a result.
since receiving my EcoFlow products it’s been a nightmare. My alternator charger will not work. The technicians refuse to update my equipment, meaning nothing works. All of my equipments firmware is updated. On the official EcoFlow website they are selling products that are currently out of stock with no future date for delivery. The products extremely proprietary design makes them useless. They are not serviceable nor do they function. EcoFlow tech support is unresponsive and nearly nonexistent. It’s is certain you need to contact their tech support because their products ship defective or bricked. The products are very over priced. If the products worked with tech support the products might have value. But they do not work and you cannot get help to make them function. EcoFlow return policy is predatory. If you are missing one tiny price of information they deny any product replacement. They will not substitute products. They will not refund your money. They charge high restocking fee and will not cover shipping the broken equipment back to the company. Frustrated customers are resorting to filing claims to recover their money and the broken equipment is thrown away at a loss to the consumer in the thousands of dollars. Do not buy EcoFlow products. You can get better value buying your products from other companies. If you chose EcoFlow you will loose your money, be stuck with broken equipment, and they will not replace or repair your product. EcoFlow is very expensive. It is not worth the risk doing business with them.
Sold! If/when ' my Transit Trail order is filled I’ll be ordering this from Vanland. Curious - can the hub be oriented horizontally as shown in the video in an installation?
Excellent !! 🙂 System not for the average van builder pocket book cause most can't even afford a sprinter van ( even USED ) if u made a system maybe with with less wattage power bank to bring price down .. if u you only want to reach deep pocket consumers it's perfect ... But as a average consumer your product is a maybe someday but by then something newer might come along ... Great product and yes it would save u time on wiring ...
I've been wanting to see more about these systems for a while. I really like the looks of this one and the way that you describe it. I am interested in what I would consider big power. So 800 amp hours. I would be quite curious to see what your layout for such a system would look like.
I could be wrong but it’s my understanding that 1000watts is the limit for a vans alternator to send while running. So I assume that is why they limited to 1000.
Is there a way to regulate the Amp taken from DC source? Example the smart charge systems in the JLR Defender and the Dodge Ram don't use smart alternators they use what is esenchilly a supercharger instead. The Ram is rated for a draw of 50 amps so can you set ECO-Flow to only pull 30-50 amps ?
Basically the same circuit- the alternator is what does the charging. I would actually prefer to go direct to a 48v alternator and leave the starter battery alone.
@@VanLand Does it look like there's any capability of a high amp secondary alternator for charging? That's the big downside for me so far. Willing to buy a 24v or 48v alternator, but I'd want 200A+ charging. Maybe through the 'smart generator' plug instead of the alternator plug? Even if it still required a DC-DC or Li-BIM.
Thank you for the review. How long is the battery cable? I would like to have two batteries installed on my sprinter van, one on each side. Is the cable long enough?
Yes it has plenty of power, but the wire would need to be sized appropriately. I’m very interested to see if it can run a 120v AC powered air conditioner like the Dometic Penguin.
It looks like the EcoFlow Power System has a max 12V output of 70A and the Dometic RTX 2000 requires an 80A fuse. So I don't think the EcoFlow Power System could support the Dometic RTX 2000, but it would probably work fine with a 24V air conditioner. This issue was pointed out to me by my van builder. I am no expert, just passing along info that I received.
@vanland , I have the new nomadic X3 rooftop air conditioner, 12 volt. I am wondering how to connect the 2 AGW cables to the independence kit?? If you have any input or diagrams please let me know
How well does this integrate with the Ramble interior kit from Infinity Vans? I know a lot of thought has been put into wiring organization for the Infinity kit, however it seems like they are assuming usage of a Victron system.

Without doubt THE BEST vid on CZcams explaining the POWERKIT👍🏻👍🏻

“I’m super excited“ …somebody else says this ❤❤❤
Most definitely a game changer. This reminds me a lot of the redarc system. I’ll be anxious to see how the system gets built into the side of a van.
Anyone used this system in their van for a while and have feedback?

Yes you can mount it in that position
Can you please recommend some AC and DC air-conditioning systems that would run off this?
Ecoflow wave 2

What are the space requirements for each component (in³ please)?
The Chinese are coming for Volta. Looks awesome 🎉. But the DC wire sizes look tiny
The wires are small because it’s a 48v native system.
Surprised they're limiting the solar input to 30A. Cool product though!

Only 1000W allowed through alternator charging. Bummer. Why so little?

@@ChuckPappas - interesting 🤔 thanks
You mentioned the display shows 6 DC and 6 AC circuits. But the unit has 12 DC circuits. Did I miss something?
There are 12 DC circuits but only 6 are controlled on the display.
How long is the alternator cable?
Great demonstration and explanation! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Does the app connect to the eco flow hub via Bluetooth?
Yes
How to I shore charge this system in Europe? We have 220V here :(

Think each battery is 48v 100Ah.
i believe 1 correction.. the 12v connector goes to the car battery, not the alternator, for 12v dc charging.
Basically the same circuit- the alternator is what does the charging. I would actually prefer to go direct to a 48v alternator and leave the starter battery alone.
@@VanLand oh yeah for sure.. im just talking about their wiring, its designed with terminal rings. at least mine was. love the vids!

thank you! great over view! would love to know how it compares in cost to diy systems and having someone else build a system for you
Can this system be added to a class A or C motor home? Can you use existing roof solar panels?
How long will a Domestic RTX 2000 run on a 5kWh system?
Can it run a 12v Air conditioner like the Dometic RTX 2000
Yes it has plenty of power, but the wire would need to be sized appropriately. I’m very interested to see if it can run a 120v AC powered air conditioner like the Dometic Penguin.
In this video czcams.com/video/ahgpvUL5IA8/video.html they use a 120v RecPro 9.5K along with the EcoFlow Power System.
It looks like the EcoFlow Power System has a max 12V output of 70A and the Dometic RTX 2000 requires an 80A fuse.

The next generation of power box will accommodate the EcoFlow system. It’s a minor modification really.
What's your experience with the noise level of its cooling fans?
Definitely noticeable especially with high draw applications. But if it’s in a cabinet, that helps.
@@VanLand What about when charging via solar? How does the noise level compare to other systems such as Renogy or Victron?
How can I buy &how much?

This is super expensive for what it is.
Actually it’s very inexpensive for what it is when you consider how easy the system is assembled and the features that are included.
