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.

    When charging the LiFePo4 battery, what is your exact configuration? Why is the Delta 2 showing output and no input, but remaining full charge?

    • @VolvoCamperLife
      @VolvoCamperLife 8 днів тому

      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.

      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.

    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!

    • @VolvoCamperLife
      @VolvoCamperLife 8 днів тому

      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!
