What I really love about the "Dual Solar"...Use TWO Different kinds of Solar Panels. First connection can be TWO 200 Watt Panels 2nd Connection can be FOUR 100 Watt Panels
so as living in a RV since 1988 let me tell ya this new stuff is great how ever u will always need a gas generator as a back up plan i did buy the dual fuel generator that i only use propane with as a back up but i have 2 echo flow max omg such life savers.
I am disappointed you still can't charge the battery on its own. I would want to put out the battery to charge with solar, while i am using the unit. Having to charge them together is a big downside. Then I don't see the reason to get an expandable battery. Especially since I am lookingnfor emergency situationes. I would probably just get two units instead of the expandable battery. Thanks for video!
I bought this battery 4 days ago. Your video was so helpful and informative. Now I know how to use the battery and all the good stuff it has. Thanks. I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed. I will be watching all your vids. I’m a gadget girl 😂😂😂
*EcoFlow continues to demonstrate its strong ability to innovate with the added improvements and features they've put into this unit @ the price they're asking makes it the new Leader in the industry, as far as I can see.*
@@EcoFlowTech I'll be happy if you will present some new products at a more competitive price. I am looking at the Delta Max 2, but it's priced just North of what I can afford right now. What I really want is an EcoFlow Delta Pro, but it's about $1,500.00 CAD North of my budget. I am happy to see EcoFlow making more power stations which are easily scalable with external batteries. I would also like to see the number of connectable external batteries increase from two to four chainable external batteries. I would also like to see the larger capacity power stations all be parallelable (x 2 units connected together). Also, I would like there to be a power station capable of dual AC Voltage 120/240 Volts switchable AC output in a single, self contained power station unit.
Very thorough, as always! You have been exceptionally helpful in helping me decide which system I want to start with Al. Thank you so much for these reviews.
The difference between the first and this 2nd gen is great but not great enough to pay extra money (lost from what i paid for what i get). If you dont have a max get 2nd gen. I have 2 max and 2 EB for black outs and emergencies so i dont use these everyday. I got an electrician to install a back feed and interlock device so i just plug it into the house to power in case of power outage.
Guys don't forget that 2048wh battery won't give you all of its capacity but around 80%. There are also temperature limitations for those power stations. If you rely on solar energy you typically get around 60-80% of solar power from what manufacturer rates their panels. Considering this Delta 2 is a minimum you should really and Max is even better if you can afford.
So I have a question if you're willing to help...With the 2 solar inputs, would it be feasible to use one with a 550W panel, and then into the other one add an 800w (2x400)panel ia a charge controller array into a 300AH 12v battery. Then I could feed input from that battery after dark for a few hours to even out our input from the sun?
@Tech Made Easy By the way, I have returned the Ryobi 80 volt 30" cut. the cut wasn't great, the battery didn't last 90 min. as advertized, and the thumb paddle for self-propelled was uncomfortable. The battery while being 80 volt, which you need to make it run (it's one big lawnmower) is only 10 amp hour, the same as my EGO, and ran out almost exactly the same time as my EGO 10 amp hour battery, in fact I had to fire up my EGO to finish mowing😊. So, I purchased another EGO 10 amp hour battery, and it's just me and my EGO👍
For the money robotic mowers are getting close, stuff like the EcoFlow blade makes sense compared to paying the same amount for a zero turn or ride on mower. Downside to the blade though it can't do longer grasses like we need up north, 3-4" need in summer and I think 3" is the highest the blade goes. Yarbo seems like they have potential too, if they ever release.
I'm new to all of this. What does 3000 cycles mean. Does it mean dropping down to zero and recharging? What if I drop to 50% and recharge.. is that still considered a cycle? etc
Hi welcome 100% to 0 would be a cycle. 50% and recharge isn't considered a cycle but I feel somehow it counts. I wish I knew more about that. Good practice is to use the battery to 80/85% then only deplete to 10%. But be aware many companies have their own maintenance guidelines you need to follow to keep your warranty.
Would 3 160w panels in series work? I saw your short video doing it with the delta pro but delta max 2 has a voltage limit of 60v, the 160w panels are 21.4 open but 18.6 with a load
@zombyfrank now that the delta max 2 has 2 XT60 ports, you can have 2 160w on one and another 160w on the other, you could even have 2 160w on one and 2 160w on the other also
2:12 or you in the woods and everyone’s buzzed from beers and the generator runs out of gas And so you start basically sit in the dark or attempt to convince an Uber driver (tipped well to buy and fill a new Jerry can for about $40 cost and then compensation for nontypical favors And the bills up to 3:01 is perfect in my opinion
Congratulations it's a nice machine especially with that new lithium iron phosphate battery. Grab the manual, see page 13 very helpful www.ecoflow.com/us/support/download/index
@@TechMadeEzy should I drain the battery before giving it a full charge. And what settings should I set on how much I keep in reserve and how much I allow it to charge.
@dougziglar8489 definitely follow the guidelines in the manual I myself really don't charge it anymore than 90% And I don't drain it any more than 20%, but I do follow the guidelines every 3 to 6 months
I got the Delta 2 Max, but it did not come with a solar cable...? Do I need the XT60 or XT60i to hookup to the EcoFlow solar panel. Also, if I wanted to hook into a non-ecoflow panel to something like a Jackery that has 8mm input, do you have a cable adapter recommendation?
Here are some links for the xt60i cable Amazon Site amzn.to/3TYvveB EcoFlow Site bit.ly/3Mzqffs Check my jackery video description I think I did put links for adapters czcams.com/video/yCCRio5oxj4/video.html
I know the connectors are the same, but the software Hass to support it. The battery chemistry is different but you probably have to contact EcoFlow to confirm this support@ecoflow.com
TY for all the info. New user here. I am in a semi. running the wave 2 with the max 2. My 1500 watt inverter is not recognized by the max 2. Even on slow mode. What do i need to have in order to charge my max 2 on the go? Solar is not a viable option for me… TY again. M.
You should be able to use a car charging cable it’ll charge slow, but if you’re saying your inverter is your car charger then I’m sorry but I don’t know how to help you here. You might want to contact the manufacture.
@@TechMadeEzy TY. I am very excited to share my solution. (- new user.) The wave 2 will plug into my inverter. It's actually off right now. However, the batt. to batt. cable I am using between max 2 and wave 2 is connected. Power is passing through to max 2 through wave 2. ( again, even though wave 2 is off.) much faster the 12 v outlet by far. North of 600w. Is this ok? Am I safe? If so, I hope this might be useful to others. TY. M
@@TechMadeEzy Yes. Upwards of 674w. On the app it says 1800w. When switched to slow mode lt turned that down to 400w. However, when plugging my wave 2 to my power strip. ( end of an ext. cord, from my 1500w inverter.) - and having the dc to dc cable between the wave 2 and the max 2, it pushed 600w+ for a very respectful fast charge. By far faster then 85w I was getting off of the 12w outlet. ( cigarette plug in ) Hope I'm not being too confusing. Thank you. M P.s. I didn't purchase the small batt with the wave 2. I purchased the wave 2 max 2 bundle. It occurred to me that the small batt will charge only when connected to the wave 2, using dc to dc . So that's what I have created with the 3' dc to dc cable. What do you think?
That’s a good bundle. Keep one thing in mind what I would recommend that you do if you’re concerned about how much power it’s pulling to charge the max two then go on the app and reduce the charging rate. You can set it as low as 200 watts. Sounds like you’re OK. Anything better you probably have to call EcoFlow support.
The comments you made about doing it for the environment would be good if that was true what does it really take to get lithium out of the ground it turns out it's more of a pollutant to get it out of the ground then natural gas and oil, And then when you have the battery itself in your house it's giving off something more deadly to humans than a pollution from the gas generator and that's called EMF,electric magnetic frequency is known to destroy the DNA in human body along with every other electronic on the market. Now is the machine good Yes it is I have it do I prefer it over gasoline I do.
California Utility PGE is 42 cents a KWH. In Summer its easy to spend $600 to $1000 a month on Electricity. Imagine how much $$$$ you save by attaching SOLAR to the new Delta 2 Max
Gas generator loses, if we're being honest. The upfront cost is easily cheaper. But with how things are going, a power outage is much likely to be wider than you think. Yesterday, May 24th, a Cat 4 storm hit Guam leaving tens of thousands of people without power. Not just residents, but businesses. I can whip out my solar panels and collect power during the days. You need power to get gas to power your gas generator. You're still reliant on things working well. That makes it a liability.
