I have this unit in my sprinter conversion and it runs everything perfectly! Your not joking about Clayton power uk been on point I called them multiple times when I was installing it to pick their brains and they always answer as quickly as you demonstrated and helped me out every time.
Great video , had the Clayton unit for over a year great kit and so easy to install . Mark at Ahoy is a great guy for support & service can fully recommend 👍
Dang. Bought an AC200 because of you. Running my Van on it now. And now I would need this 😂 Pretty hefty price for the kWh, though. Btw, got that Neutrik plug too to get shore power into my Van.
Those plugs are lovely. You will be fine with the ac200 max mate. I never tried to say something was something it wasn’t. Just so happens I now know about this. It’s evolution I guess
Whoa.... now that is crazy impressive. Especially for those of us with smaller vans, even that high power one is relatively little compared to all the gubbins you usually need for that level of power.
Yea mate. Next I’m comparing it to a Victron set up. It’s crazy when all this unit. Is probably the equivalent to just the inverter of a normal system.
@@urbanarkoverland blimey. Look forward to seeing the comparison, already sounds like it's a way better option for a smaller van though. I think my little Toyota Vellfire would get on very nicely with one of those. 😄
Mega really smart, robust quality. I like those nuetrik connections, put them on (different type but that make) on my tools so have a 75mm tail then the power connects too that. Sort of like festool end connection, anyway that system is like festool stuff expensive but well made. Don’t mind a bit more work n saving for well made equipment. Nice one ✊.
Evening, comprehensive video. A couple of questions, Should the van not be grounded for the RCD to work? What are you using on your van to need 180A DC. Keep up the good work.
Not 100 percent about the grounding. The unit is grounded to the chassis. Or through the battery when doing b2b. You are never gonna need 180a 12v. And that’s the point nuts more than adequate 👍🏻👍🏻
So where can I get one and how much does it cost and can I link it through the consumer unit that the van converters have installed to power my 240 volt sockets. Thanks in advance 😊
Just going to start van build and using BLUETTI going to charge from engine with small inventer only 90 pound fitted to van while driving using charger block
It could yup. And you can power high demand normal household electrical items. But the main takeaway is that it recharges very quick including both solar and alternator charging at the same time.
Ahhh. So just come here from your last video of the Bluetti 200l and have arrived here. Hi. Lol. Soooo. Bluetti have bought or are bringing. The Bluetti charger 1. Are we guna see another video on that? Coz i think it will change the game from the cons you described. I've not finished the video yet tho. Im 4 minutes in and the charger 1 isn't available till November. Maybe they heard you and found the best charging solution for charging from the vans battery 🤷♂️
@@1disturbedjunglist ye I’ve heard of this. I had a powerbank go from 100 to 0 just like that. And wouldn’t work until I plugged it in at the socket to reset it. If I didn’t have a back up in the van. That would have left me high and dry.
Anyone seen a schematic for how this unit would fit into a van? Just thinking about all the other kit we install with Victron systems. Lynx, Cerbo, Solar MPPT, Orion, Batt Protects, battery monitor, multi-control etc etc. How much of that will still need to be installed. How far does this device offer similar capability a victron setup. Can you mix the two, if so which bits stay and which go. What monitoring capability does it have, what remote control capability.
Even better than a schematic here’s a Greg Virgoe style run through on how to fit including every size tool and wiring you will need down to the mm ⚡️👍🏼 ua-cam.com/video/dMW0gtG9Y6c/v-deo.html
Great video Aiden,need to watch it again and let it all sink in i think.Just starting on our sprinter build and the electrical side is a little daunting,only had a leisure battery and split relay on my old van.Will definitely be doing some homework on this though 👍
This is your answer. Jo doubt in my mind. I may rip out my conventional set up for this. Get that 25 off. I could be ya man for install. It’s so simple.
@@urbanarkoverland I know you're doing a comparison in your next video but I'm guessing all in price wise both set ups are similar?Would like to get a solar on the roof as well.Are you open to installing systems then?
Can't you add an inverter after the alternator power from the starter battery and then charge the AC200Max with the mains plug while you drive as well as the solar at the same time? I'm hoping so because I just pulled the plug on the Bluetti AC200Max 😆
I cant find info about inverter noise when under load, how loud this thing (like sleeping in the same room)? AC200L seems to be very quiet, how is this one compared?
Wow my heart was in my mouth watching that. Big risk you reviwing the unit with zero rules like other brands but it paid off. Balls out as they say. Honestly what a really cracking video. Information and entertainment all in one.
I'm confused by the solar charging it says it takes 400watts from 50volts at 15 amps. Which suggests that it's totally fine accepting 750 watts of solar power input. Does it automatically handle that if you start cramming in 750 watts, or does it shut off if you exceed 400 watts? Also, there's no mention of UPS functionality. Can this provide uninterrupted power in the event of a power outage (for computer equipment)? (less than 30 ms switchover time after power outage?) It's good to know that you can charge with solar+cigarette socket simultaneously, never considered that one... Can it do AC, cigarette, and solar all simultaneously? Does the cigarette lighter share the 400watt limit with the solar? These are all weird numbers (typical of these systems) Charge rate is 500 - 1000 watts for cigarette socket (How?) charge rate is 750 from mains charge rate is 400 from solar So what is the charge rate? Can you get a 1000+750+400 = 2150 watt charge rate if you use all three simultaneously? 3000 watt output with a max (theoretical) 2150 watt charge rate (that's probably more like 750) so that means that if you were running this thing constantly at full load, you'd have to stop for a few hours to charge it up again... Strange device... How does it actually pull 1000 watts from a cigarette socket without blowing up the wiring in the vehicle? Most vehicles these days cannot even handle a 400 watt continuous drain on the cigarette socket without melting the wiring in the dashboard.
So, did I understand that right? This thing replaces all the electronic components that I would potentially have to install, like the MPPT charger, DC-DC converter, etc., and I can connect all my 12V outlets and don't even needing an inverter. Do I even need a leisure battery at all ? Sorry, I'm very new to this and don't know much about electrics and sorry if my question is stupid.
Sorry for ignorance but I had not even heard of such a device until today. Anyone know if there is something similar in usa for 110v or would this also work in usa?
One unreplaceble battery one point of failure. You also mentioned the components can be replaced. I take it the replacement is done by the manufacturer in which case you need to send it off if there is a fault. At least with Victron you can order a replacement and get it next day, Both system have good and bad points. Also if you read the spec, the input and output voltage/ampage are limited. I will stick with victron as it may take more space but it easier to expand if and when required and more importantly if a battary fails i can pop to where ever to get a replacement quicker than going through the rigmarole of having to send the whole unit back and being without power for days/weeks.
@@cerebralsecuritysolutions4640 no. If you are confident to do so. They send replacement parts to wherever you are. So you could say you were wrong in that one. Please specify what you mean by input and output voltage is limited. Can easily input 100amps. When will you ask your alternator to do more than that?
You are such a great smart-ass! I was looking at that tire table from :0001 secs into the video, so much so that I can’t recall what the actual video subject was all about … 😂
Thanks for this video, great info!! Just checked out the Pecron 1500 LFP and it can charge via AC (1.4kw) and DC (up to 700w) at the same time and prefers the DC over AC and has 30 amp DC output. Of course, still not as nice and simple as this one but perhaps a cheaper option?
@@urbanarkoverland yes sold as 1536Wh and the tests that I have seen say it has a DC capacity of ~93% and an AC capacity of ~84%. Not bad I'd say for 999 euro.
I might be completely blind now, but what is "it" ? I see no name or any mention of the name in the video or description... (Edit: Clayton Power it seems looking thru the webpage )
bluetti charger 1 or the pecron can do about 480 or 500 watts from your alternator. im trying to understand why this is still relevant??? Loved your bluetti stuff must be a money maker :(
That looks awesome! I didn’t understand a word of what you were saying but still looks good. Would it fit under the passenger seat of you T6? I have a leisure battery under my seat in my T5 so I would just swap it out. Do you use a split relay on it to charge from the battery too? Bit pricey but could be well worth it. Great video, love the look of the tyre tables too, that’s a mint idea 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent bit of kit - can’t see any justification for a “traditional” electrical installation now. I’ll do you a favour and take one of the power banks that now must be gathering dust and getting under your other half’s feet away if you want…?!
This is exactly what I've been looking for until I saw this, my only option was the goal zero. [I want to be able to take it out of the van when I dont need it, and I don't give a damn about solar ,200w supplemental is fine] but Im in the U.S. so hopefully they'll have a 110v option soon. Building van now so....
@@urbanarkoverland so you recommend a goal zero unit over a bluetti? I'm torn between the two. Diesel Heater, fridge, single burner induction stove top once in a while...those would be the main power draws. Thx mate, great video!
Good review mate and looking forward to the head to head with victron . Andy at transporterhq got quite a bit of negativity in his comments on this , personally i think this is the way ahead especially on the extra room it will give on a build , is it suited to a live in vanlifer or more a long weekend campervan , i dont know ? Oh tyre table , any plans for it to come in UAO black , u know it makes sense 😊keep up the good work brother 👍
Haha yeah I was in the comments trying to answer Rob who had some good points. It depends on how much you move each day as the alternator charge is so rapid. For full time vanlife I would go with the additional 280ah clayton add on giving you 440 in total.
@@ahoyleisure Any details yet on how long it would take to recharge 440 via the alternator (with super booster addon)? And was a bluetooth app also in the works?
@@stevewilliams9753 No confirmed figures yet on how the supercharger will work with the additional battery added on. My guess is rather than kick in below 29% battery capacity it will kick in sooner so you are pulling in 1000w more often but in a phased way. With that in mind it’s a capacity of around 5kWh usable energy so I would think you are going from 0-80% in about 4hrs give or take. As soon as they arrive I will test. 👍🏼⚡️
@@urbanarkoverland I’m sure you’re not but sadly we aren’t all as fortunate , the whole premise of the film was promoting it to the viewer was it not ? Looks great very expensive
@@pw9062 an incorrect one. I did pay for this. The banner that says ‘includes paid promotion’ is used because it shows a product. Thats one t’s and c’s that we sign up to. Even if you bought it. Check the WHOLE of UA-cam. The only videos are from personal installations and traders. No Vanlifer or influencer has been given one of these. That’s the point. It’s a commercial product that happens to work wonders in the leisure market. So I say again. I BOUGHT this. And what I budget for my own build is kinda my choice. I’m just showing options and the one I chose. I get offered 4 power stations a week. It’s me that is not bothering with the other ‘freebies’
@@urbanarkoverland any links to it being expandable? I've looked on there site and it said not expandable atm...? Under Faqs it says * Is it possible to add extra Batteries* Right now it is not possible..... And only the top model which costs over 3k has a usable capacity of 134ah. You could make a awesome inbuilt system for that money with massive capacity?
@@1uke4eva see the next video. Victron killer. You can yes. But at extra cost, space, time and weight. You only have to search Clayton on UA-cam and there is info in the new expansion batteries. Or check out Clayton on instagram and they have pics etc. you can’t say it’s only a 100ah when the item I’m showing is a 160 minus the standard 20% that all lithium batteries contend with
I don’t understand the benefits of a tire table, it’s just a table missing three legs, not exactly a space saver and you are restricted where the table can be set up.
I was very interested in this as i am looking for a 300ah solution for my motorhome. I have specced it on the clayton website and turns out (and this is without a solar panel) it will come to over £8864. Thats for an LPS ll 3000 and a CPG4 Extension battery 100ah (which is confusing as the website says you cannot add extra batteries to the LPS ll 3000). And thats without any installation costs. So, i'm going to get a quote for a Victron installation and see how much that is going to cost using Li Time mini batteries as i'm tight for space. Great video though.
@@urbanarkoverland Yeah, i guess i could but it's still going to be circa £7800 before any discount codeplus installation (that would have to be done by someone else because what i know about electrics you could write on the back of a postage stamp). But ,thats a sizeable fair whack of money. I'm still not sure if a Victron system including installation will work out any dearer. As i mentioned i'm going to have to get an installation cost for a Victron system to see what the most sutable way forward is. I appreciate your Video and your coming back to me. Cheers.
@@laikalikers9570 it’s not for everyone mate. It just saves sooooo much space in the van. So transporter and Mwb vans etc it’s banging rarely need more than the LPs 3000 anyway. I’m doing install video this week 👍🏻
@@darrenotoole5642 Hey it wasn’t a rhetorical question or anything like that I’m genuinely interested in separates comparisons. What are the top line products you would have in a comparable Renogy kit for €1500? As i’ve just looked online and I’m struggling to get even close to that?
Ecoflow Delta pro can output 30A on the Anderson port and has a higher capacity for solar charging. I got 4x 160wp renogy panels hooked up to it. Charging at a decent rate while driving is also possible, not simultaneously with solar though. Got it for 2200 euros with the Kickstarter campaign, so couldn't be happier haha. This seems like a valid option though!
It’s great what Ecoflow and Bluetti are doing with their products although the gadget John incident with Ecoflow was a bloody farce. Very dangerous, I did a video on it. I think it’s getting cheaper, safer and easier to power you van and that great for the community of DIY builders and the conversion industry.
@@urbanarkoverland can not find any model number on their website. It's just called 'Ecoflow Delta Pro' The 3600 watt model. Or in vanlife terms: 12v 300ah All specs are listed there. In the app I can only find my Serial Number but maybe there's a model number somewhere on my unit itself. Will have a look.
Delta Pro has 3x 12vlt outputs. 1x 12vlt 10amp cigarette socket, 2x 12vlt 3amp DC5521 Barrel outputs and a 12vlt 30amp Anderson output. None of the other Ecoflow Delta or River units have this.. hence why ive been trying to get the delta pro for my van... But now.. after waching your video... this could be a better way for me to go. Thanks
@@urbanarkoverland I might get it anyway and maybe use an inverter for the one outlet and just totally lose both 230s on the side. For me it’s all about those DC ins and outs and solar capability. That’s really all I need. To be able to charge it via solar and the cigarette lighter while driving is key. No US market products really offers that.

@@cerebralsecuritysolutions4640 no. If you are confident to do so. They send replacement parts to wherever you are. So you could say you were wrong in that one.
Please specify what you mean by input and output voltage is limited. Can easily input 100amps. When will you ask your alternator to do more than that?
You are such a great smart-ass! I was looking at that tire table from :0001 secs into the video, so much so that I can’t recall what the actual video subject was all about … 😂
Ha. That’s subliminal sales that. It’s my creation.
You are first to admit though 👍🏻
Wow, that’s all I can say,
And, great video 👍
Cheers mate. This is the new way.
@@urbanarkoverland So when’s the video coming out for the table 🤫
@@outdoorjunky1 Haha thats what I was thinking!!!
Do they have a 60hz unit for those of us across the Pond?
@@ericdolan2130 not yet 😎
Thanks for this video, great info!! Just checked out the Pecron 1500 LFP and it can charge via AC (1.4kw) and DC (up to 700w) at the same time and prefers the DC over AC and has 30 amp DC output. Of course, still not as nice and simple as this one but perhaps a cheaper option?
Oh ok. Thanks for reaching out with that info. 1500. Would that be the watt hours?
@@urbanarkoverland yes sold as 1536Wh and the tests that I have seen say it has a DC capacity of ~93% and an AC capacity of ~84%. Not bad I'd say for 999 euro.
subbed mate!
@@TaiKibris awesome. Welcome
How much will tyre table cost please
My version is preorder at £325. This is basically cost. The one you see in the video is £165 👍🏻
Nice vid but a big shout out to bluetti it's repair centre is UK based and are very quick to sort out any problems 👍
Ah fair play. Well that’s new.
Yes got a 200max from your previous vid had a small error and I could drop it off near chesterfield which suited me 👍
@@richgizz5024 that is definitely new info to me 👍🏻
I might be completely blind now, but what is "it" ? I see no name or any mention of the name in the video or description... (Edit: Clayton Power it seems looking thru the webpage
)
@@Ottesen23 this is the Clayton lps II 3000. 👍🏻
At that price you should be mentioning the price right upfront, though (around £2-3000 for 1kWH, depending on output)
Not at all. Not just on capacity. See the next video where I compare it to all the individual parts
bluetti charger 1 or the pecron can do about 480 or 500 watts from your alternator. im trying to understand why this is still relevant??? Loved your bluetti stuff must be a money maker :(
@@dtjmonk I don’t make any money from this video no.
That looks awesome! I didn’t understand a word of what you were saying but still looks good. Would it fit under the passenger seat of you T6? I have a leisure battery under my seat in my T5 so I would just swap it out. Do you use a split relay on it to charge from the battery too? Bit pricey but could be well worth it. Great video, love the look of the tyre tables too, that’s a mint idea 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
No there no need for a split relay it has an alternator charger built in👍🏼 Wouldn’t fit under a front seat but would under a rear bed seat👍🏼
There are smaller version at smaller prices.
Not physically smaller though.
Think I'd have super anxiety of it being stolen!
Should be bolted down in a cupboard deep in the bowels ha
Excellent bit of kit - can’t see any justification for a “traditional” electrical installation now.
I’ll do you a favour and take one of the power banks that now must be gathering dust and getting under your other half’s feet away if you want…?!
Ha ha. You would think so. Only ever did two receives mate.
Fabulous! If only they made different power systems for different regions like Canada, 110v.
I know it’s in development 👀
This is exactly what I've been looking for until I saw this, my only option was the goal zero. [I want to be able to take it out of the van when I dont need it, and I don't give a damn about solar ,200w supplemental is fine] but Im in the U.S. so hopefully they'll have a 110v option soon. Building van now so....
Hmmmm. Not sure about shipping to the states mate. And the 110 option to be fair. Goal zero is a strong plan b. Was the best of the rest 👍🏻
I know a 110v is being worked on. Would love to go to the states and demo it. Road trip maybe? 😊
@@ahoyleisure anyway for me to get updates on the 110v version?
@@wonderwalluk1568 I will do some digging this week.
@@urbanarkoverland so you recommend a goal zero unit over a bluetti? I'm torn between the two. Diesel Heater, fridge, single burner induction stove top once in a while...those would be the main power draws. Thx mate, great video!
Good review mate and looking forward to the head to head with victron .
Andy at transporterhq got quite a bit of negativity in his comments on this , personally i think this is the way ahead especially on the extra room it will give on a build , is it suited to a live in vanlifer or more a long weekend campervan , i dont know ? Oh tyre table , any plans for it to come in UAO black , u know it makes sense 😊keep up the good work brother 👍
Haha yeah I was in the comments trying to answer Rob who had some good points.
It depends on how much you move each day as the alternator charge is so rapid. For full time vanlife I would go with the additional 280ah clayton add on giving you 440 in total.
Ha ha. Some people are fighting battles they know nothing about my friend. Ha.
Yes. It will be powder coated 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@ahoyleisure Any details yet on how long it would take to recharge 440 via the alternator (with super booster addon)? And was a bluetooth app also in the works?
@@stevewilliams9753 No confirmed figures yet on how the supercharger will work with the additional battery added on. My guess is rather than kick in below 29% battery capacity it will kick in sooner so you are pulling in 1000w more often but in a phased way. With that in mind it’s a capacity of around 5kWh usable energy so I would think you are going from 0-80% in about 4hrs give or take. As soon as they arrive I will test. 👍🏼⚡️
Like the dc-dc charger built in
Amazing huh
What is this make and model I am bamboozled 🙂
This is a Clayton LPSII. It’s the largest they do.
Other models are available 👍🏻
to bad. don't seem to be available on this side of the pond.
States?
@@urbanarkoverland ya lol
110v is in development. I will try and get more feedback on that.
When might this be available in the USA? Seems like a great solution.
@@johnmreale that my friend is out of my hands 👍🏻
The blue yeti is available to multiple regions of this earth this Clayton does not?
Blue yeti??
What happened to self built on a budget ? Great bit of kit but hellishly costly
@@pw9062 who said I was on a budget? 😎
@@urbanarkoverland I’m sure you’re not but sadly we aren’t all as fortunate , the whole premise of the film was promoting it to the viewer was it not ? Looks great very expensive
@@pw9062 an incorrect one. I did pay for this. The banner that says ‘includes paid promotion’ is used because it shows a product. Thats one t’s and c’s that we sign up to. Even if you bought it. Check the WHOLE of UA-cam. The only videos are from personal installations and traders. No Vanlifer or influencer has been given one of these. That’s the point. It’s a commercial product that happens to work wonders in the leisure market.
So I say again. I BOUGHT this. And what I budget for my own build is kinda my choice. I’m just showing options and the one I chose.
I get offered 4 power stations a week. It’s me that is not bothering with the other ‘freebies’
But it only has a 100ah Battery which is not expandable?
Both false.
160ah battery.
And it’s expandable. 🤷🏼♂️
@@urbanarkoverland any links to it being expandable? I've looked on there site and it said not expandable atm...? Under Faqs it says * Is it possible to add extra Batteries* Right now it is not possible..... And only the top model which costs over 3k has a usable capacity of 134ah. You could make a awesome inbuilt system for that money with massive capacity?
@@1uke4eva see the next video. Victron killer. You can yes. But at extra cost, space, time and weight. You only have to search Clayton on UA-cam and there is info in the new expansion batteries. Or check out Clayton on instagram and they have pics etc.
you can’t say it’s only a 100ah when the item I’m showing is a 160 minus the standard 20% that all lithium batteries contend with
Can you run a ninja pizza oven off this unit?
@@MrWinnie243 check out my latest camp video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I would say its a better option for a van thats not kitted out already
Ye. That’s for part 2 😂
@@urbanarkoverland nice
Just need an Australian distribution
He delivers. Didn’t you see 👍🏻
@@urbanarkoverland nope, I’ll have another look cheers
@@barrakingbeatz7794 in the video we pass a pallet that is off to Australia. 👍🏻👍🏻
I don’t understand the benefits of a tire table, it’s just a table missing three legs, not exactly a space saver and you are restricted where the table can be set up.
@@stuartstuart866 you kinda get it or you don’t
@@urbanarkoverland So it’s “cool factor” not practicality?
@@stuartstuart866 no not at all. Quite the opposite. It’s very very functional. That’s the main reason for having it.
I was very interested in this as i am looking for a 300ah solution for my motorhome. I have specced it on the clayton website and turns out (and this is without a solar panel) it will come to over £8864. Thats for an LPS ll 3000 and a CPG4 Extension battery 100ah (which is confusing as the website says you cannot add extra batteries to the LPS ll 3000). And thats without any installation costs. So, i'm going to get a quote for a Victron installation and see how much that is going to cost using Li Time mini batteries as i'm tight for space. Great video though.
On no problem mate.
I have a Victron guy if you need 👍🏻
Just buy two LPS 3000’s. What are they with my code. About 3400. Let one charge the other Boom
@@urbanarkoverland If you do that would be handy. Thanks.
@@urbanarkoverland Yeah, i guess i could but it's still going to be circa £7800 before any discount codeplus installation (that would have to be done by someone else because what i know about electrics you could write on the back of a postage stamp). But ,thats a sizeable fair whack of money. I'm still not sure if a Victron system including installation will work out any dearer. As i mentioned i'm going to have to get an installation cost for a Victron system to see what the most sutable way forward is. I appreciate your Video and your coming back to me. Cheers.
@@laikalikers9570 it’s not for everyone mate. It just saves sooooo much space in the van. So transporter and Mwb vans etc it’s banging rarely need more than the LPs 3000 anyway.
I’m doing install video this week 👍🏻
Can I buy your old one of you
My old what mate?
Your old power station
@@juniorhollywood2372 have a friend with an ac200max and b230. Email me
what is it? Make?
Clayton
Nice bit of kit ....but just too expensive . Crazy cash
25 percent off ha.
Some of the new powerbanks are like 5k
Out of interest Darren what do you compare it to in your mind in terms of price?
@ahoyleisure for me its just too expensive, i built a comparable spec system using renogy parts for €1500 . Dont get me wrong is a nice bit of kit . 👌
@@darrenotoole5642 Hey it wasn’t a rhetorical question or anything like that I’m genuinely interested in separates comparisons. What are the top line products you would have in a comparable Renogy kit for €1500? As i’ve just looked online and I’m struggling to get even close to that?
As discussed a great bit of kit mate 👌😊
I was gonna leave a comment about the wheel table
Ha ha. Go for it 😂😂
They might be good but difficult to justify the asking price
Watch the Victron comparison video.
You can charge a 200max off a dc to dc charger just need the charge enhancer brick
What wattage does that give you from the vehicles cigarette lighter
Its not off the cig lighter its off the battery to battery (dc to dc) charger
Gives about 400w depending on the power of the altinator
Or a split charger
@@wafc111 yes. But now you are defeating the point if it’s plug and play purpose.
Ecoflow Delta pro can output 30A on the Anderson port and has a higher capacity for solar charging. I got 4x 160wp renogy panels hooked up to it.
Charging at a decent rate while driving is also possible, not simultaneously with solar though.
Got it for 2200 euros with the Kickstarter campaign, so couldn't be happier haha.
This seems like a valid option though!
Please send me exact model number 👍🏻
It’s great what Ecoflow and Bluetti are doing with their products although the gadget John incident with Ecoflow was a bloody farce. Very dangerous, I did a video on it. I think it’s getting cheaper, safer and easier to power you van and that great for the community of DIY builders and the conversion industry.
@@urbanarkoverland can not find any model number on their website. It's just called 'Ecoflow Delta Pro'
The 3600 watt model.
Or in vanlife terms: 12v 300ah
All specs are listed there.
In the app I can only find my Serial Number but maybe there's a model number somewhere on my unit itself.
Will have a look.
Delta Pro has 3x 12vlt outputs. 1x 12vlt 10amp cigarette socket, 2x 12vlt 3amp DC5521 Barrel outputs and a 12vlt 30amp Anderson output. None of the other Ecoflow Delta or River units have this.. hence why ive been trying to get the delta pro for my van...
But now.. after waching your video... this could be a better way for me to go.
Thanks
Topping big of kit but think the price will put lot of people off
Ye. Although bluetti new one is 5k.
And…. When I compare it to Victron next week it starts to look a bit more cost effective.
Mmmm interesting features, but it's a complete no go. No way to replace the batteries, and no way to add extra batteries according to their website.
Expansion batteries are almost here 👍🏻
I'll enjoy my 800w DC-DC charging for my delta, this is now old tech.
@@neilmick6778 just because it charges fast. Doesn’t mean the delta is any good.
At last I want one :)
Ha ha. Tried finding you in the comments ha ha.
How great is it?? Worth the wait or what???
Yay always buy British
Hmm, not an expert but I'm sceptical....
Go on…..
No thanks!!! Much rather wait for RedArc Go Block once it gets into other countries.
You do that
3 grand
That's just more than I can afford right now unfortunately
It's no wonder you like is so much
@@AustenGoldsmithPhotography not sure what you mean. I assume you are suggesting I like it so much as it’s only that price.
No . I'm saying you like it because it's obviously worth the high price ( just too much for my build )
@@AustenGoldsmithPhotography ye that’s what I thought ha. Getting confused
Not a hippo for the US, or maybe a hippo missing a leg of two, oh well.
☺️
@@urbanarkoverland I might get it anyway and maybe use an inverter for the one outlet and just totally lose both 230s on the side. For me it’s all about those DC ins and outs and solar capability. That’s really all I need. To be able to charge it via solar and the cigarette lighter while driving is key. No US market products really offers that.
@@erikm5753 what are you actuallly thinking of buying??
@@urbanarkoverland Clayton, though the price makes it almost not worth it considering that I lose some functionality in the US.
