Birdwatching Through the Seasons: From Autumn Leaves to Winter Snow
Join me on a peaceful journey through the changing seasons, from the vibrant colors of autumn to the serene whiteness of winter.
Whenever I had a bit of free time, I would visit remote areas and bring some food for the birds. This became a delightful way to pass the time while waiting for deer, roe deer, fallow deer, or mouflons to appear.

OK I add a 300ah battery to my Bluetti. Do I just charge the battery directly? Do I continue to charge my system with the Bluetti 1 DC charger? Can I charge my battery with the DC charger? I've 600 watts of solar...where does that go? :) Thanks!
Hey , MANY THANKS FOR THIS TIPS !!!! Seriously : it's very good to share this !!!! But : now : how to charge the PQ battery IN THE SAME TIME you charge the Delta with only one AC outlet ?
I have a couple of 190 AH power queen batteries. The voltage cut of for them definitely dosnt work. So I'm gona need to add a smart circuit to them. 😅 definitely did some damage to the over all capacity as the voltage was lower then 3v.
Turn that s... off its its only on road mode. If you want all traction then you turn Electric s... off its the same in my and quattro turn it off. Then you can drive most places. "If u dare"
Mannnn, what a clean video. Thanks! Subbed.
Thank you Billy 🙏🏼
Can I charge the external battery with the ecoflow as well?
Cool🎉
How is this system charged up?
Wow! Great video, thanks! I've added solar to this system via panels and controller. But am getting zero output via controller. Have controller going into lifopo4 terminals and then ecoflow attached to same terminals in lifopo4 via t60. Any tips would be great
Controller shows a input from solar. But failing at output
Can a regular AGM battery that doesn't have BMS be connected in the same way?
When charging the LiFePo4 battery, what is your exact configuration? Why is the Delta 2 showing output and no input, but remaining full charge?
At that time, I had the Delta 2 connected to the AC mains to prevent it from discharging during the test/charging of the LiFePo4 battery (both have similar capacities, around 1kWh). Since it was fully charged and connected to AC, it didn’t show any input because, when the battery is full, it can operate in pass-through mode with an AC input.
@@VolvoCamperLife Thanks for the response. Have you tried to directly charge the LiFePo4 battery from the Alternator Charger with only the Charge function and not the Reverse Charge function?
@@morrisa2a Hi, you’re welcome. That’s not possible, as the “Charge function” is only for charging the station, meaning from the connected source to the EcoFlow charging station (there’s nothing else you can connect to the proprietary EcoFlow connector).
this was an insanely helpful video!
This video is a work of art. Beautiful, informative and a pleasure to watch. Thanks!
Thank you! 🙏🏼 My pleasure 🙃
might want to get a higher voltage battery or a stepup converter. the specific power station shown here can accept up to 60v so a 48v battery would give you the full 500w input
Hello from Ukraine! Try xt60i will charge twice as fast, no thanks.
Hi, I have the same setup, but I can’t reverse charge the 24V battery from the EcoFlow. Charging the EcoFlow works fine from the 24V battery. Any ideas? If I hook up a 12V battery, it works fine both ways.
Hi, I’ve also had some issues with reverse charging a 24V battery a few times. Sometimes it throws an error. I turn off the Alternator Charger, wait a moment, turn it back on, start charging, and it works. It doesn’t happen every time. I read a post from a group member on Facebook a few days ago saying that after the latest firmware update, the issue stopped occurring for him. However, I don’t have more information on this yet, as the newer version hasn’t been offered to me so far.
Can a 24 V battery be better maybe you only need 1 battery or use a converter on the 12 V and convert it's power to 24 V out ?
Yes, a 24V battery is better solution (you will reach about 380W charging speed).. If you have only 12V battery then you can use step-up converter.
Using a 24v battery or two 12v in series will let you transfer power at about 500w
around 380W ;)
@VolvoCamperLife cool. My power stations do 120w with 12v and 510w with 24v
Vielen Dank!
This video is really well-made. Can you tell me what software you are using to edit the video and add the animations/labels?
Thank you, Adam 🙃 I’m using Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) for editing. The titles and animations are also created in this app. Some of them are built-in, while others are purchased from VideoHive 😉
отличная машина, пока не узнал и не проехал на audi a6c7 allroad
Love your content! I have an ‘09 XC70 T6 with 169K miles on it. I’d love to do something like this but it needs transmission work.
Thank you :)
why full throtle?
Demonstration of how DSTC behaves in this situation. Using half or quarter throttle wouldn’t change anything in this case. Even with full throttle, it reduced the power delivered to the wheels to a minimum due to slippage by lowering the engine’s RPM.
Could you use this method with the power stream as well? what would be the limit in this case? What would be a good battery charger for the 12v batteries?
You can also power the PowerStream with a 24V LiFePo4 battery, or even 48V and 51.2V. To charge a 24V battery, you can use an EcoFlow Alternator Charger, or another DC-DC or AC-DC charger. Check out my latest video for more information, where I cover battery charging in detail.
I keep referencing this video. Very to the point

Glad you like them! Thank you 🙏🏼
Piękne to jest! 👍
Wait so if you use an inverter somewhere coming out of the battery can’t you get more input into your EcoFlow?
Beautiful, superb and stunning footage brilliantly captured.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Top notch! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Bro you are my inspiration! Thank you for that and keep up the good work!
Thank you very much 👋🏼
I 've tried this setup using an XT60i cable with MC4 solar connectors from my delta pro to my 12V 300Ah LiFePO4 Battery with ring connectors on the battery with MC4 connectors and I'm only getting 200 Watts input into the Delta Pro. So why am I not getting the 500 + watt DC input from the 12V 300Ah LiFePO4 Battery ?
This video deserves some serious accolades. Perfect in every way. Concise and informative. Job well done.
🤔You🫵💪👍
🤜🏻🤛🏻
36 volt or a 48 volt battery would be much butter
Been meaning to ask, could you tell me what your small wood stove is? Would you recommend it? Been looking for something like this but most portable stoves are either full on stovetops or just portable fire pits. Buying an XC70 for exactly this kind of use next year and can’t believe this channel exists…. Answered so many of my possible questions!
Excellent video. Thank you.
You’re welcome ☺️
I am new to this, but wouldnt it be better to just purchase a 24v LifePo4 battery instead of multiple 12v?
Yes, definitely. But many people have 12V batteries at home, so they can be used this way to increase the voltage. I’m currently using a 24V battery, but it could easily be 48V as well 😊
Nice and cool video!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you ☺️
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Has anyone else done this, and has it caused any damage???? To the unit

Ahoj.po dlhšom čase opäť parádne videjko.👍Tam to ale žije... Ešte že toho medveďa nenapadlo preskúmavať karavan.
Ahoj, ďakujem 😊 Žije veru, sám som ostal prekvapený, to miesto som predtým nepoznal. Vždy sa teším keď idem pozrieť fotopascu čo nájdem 🙃
This is such a fantastic overview! I recently got the ecoflow alternator charger as part of a bundle of Delta 2 max and max battery that i intend to use almost exclusively for home backup/emergencies. Ive seen many reviews now showcasing the ability to reverse charge LiFePo4 batteries so i ended up getting two 24V 100 mah Goldenmate batteries planning to put them in parallel. It reverse charges and behaves exactly as you've shown in your video, but im worried about connecting them in parallel since i cant be sure they are fully charged and balanced. Now others in Facebook groups have highly recommended i get dedicated Victron Smart charger thats designed for LiFePo4 batteries. Obviously i dont want to spend more money if it can already charge but i want to ensure its safe for the batteries. Im getting a Victron Smart Shunt thats on the way so that i have a way to monitor the batteries but would love your thoughts!
Hi, I understand your concerns, and I think they’re valid since such charging might not result in a 100% proper charge. For me, this is more of a backup solution rather than the primary purpose, so I’m willing to accept it along with the risk. If you plan to use it long-term or regularly, or if you don’t have another way to charge those batteries (I primarily charge my 24V batteries using an AC LiFePo4 charger), I’d recommend doing it the way you mentioned - with a charger specifically designed for this purpose so you can be sure it’s done right. If you’ve already tested it in the meantime, let me know how it works (or doesn’t). Thanks, and best of luck!
Very helpful video and thanks for sharing 😊
Glad it was helpful!
So can you attach MC4 connectors instead to those cables and use the official ecoflow cables to charge with?
