thank you so much
I watch all of your reviews I buy most of them is there any way that you can review Zendure SuperBase Pro At least tell me what you think of it Thanks
Hello I am thanking you for ur channel... Big Time!!!
I just bought two of the Ecoflow Delta pros and I know which 8 (100watt) panels to get however I need help on the wiring.
I have a converted 14 foot long cargo trailer and I plan on putting my batteries of course inside.
I need to know what extra wires i need what size wires and how long to reach inside my cargo camper??? I have tried calling ecoflow twice this week to ask them but of course no one has helped me. Do I need to buy fuses?? Do I need to buy MC4 cables bc their solar panels I am looking at doesn't say but would it be safe to say they will already be coming with my solar??? I am not even sure if I am asking u the correct questions??? HELP!!!😂
All I know is that I am a virgin to solar but I am learning. I just want to get my panels hooked to my two Delta pros. Thank you
Greetings and salutations - I am wondering if it would be more advantageous to have two Deltra PRO instead of a Delta Pro and an extra battery. Since we really can't use that extra battery to charge or anything. Sort of daisy chain them perhapps using the DC output to charge the other unit. Thoughts?
The new version/manual now has:
Solar Charging Input
1600W Max, 11-150V, 15A
Our family just purchased the Delta Pro through their program! Thank you for your awesome reviews on it! We have a camp in the mountains in Vermont on a class 4 road! Since the 70s, we use a generator to have lights and use out power tools/ equipment! My uncle comes up a couple times a year and has to have our generator on through the night for his Sleep apnea machine. With the price of gas it’s really expensive to fill out 5500 watt generator every 2 days! This machine will pay for itself for the amount of gas we purchase for a whole year! Looking forward to using it when it arrives in the fall! Thanks for your channel.. you have a new sub!
You spend $3000 a year for gas for your generator?
@@antrat9119 tbf at the price gas was I wouldn't doubt it
I was curious how the Delta Pro has worked out for you over the last couple years now? Would you buy it again?
One of the best reviews Tom. You put the complicated specs into easy to understand examples that is easy for us lay folks to understand. Thank you.
A number of misleading descriptions, as is so common, by a person who knows a bit about a product but not enough. The UPS description is poor. The unit has an 'EPS' mode, it does not pretend to be UPS. When you have it plugged into the wall, the internal inverter is running but not outputting, and the unit is in pass through so giving you power from the wall, not the battery. When the wall is switched off, it then switches over internally to the battery powered inverter. It is no good for UPS because its switchover is slow, potentially out of phase and 'clunky'. I don't think he even mentions that the reason it is so heavy is because of the LFP battery chemistry used compared to, e.g. NMC (and discuss the differences). Does he test the MPPT at all?
Been waiting for this one! Sitting down for dinner with HoBo tech!
It's so sad that Dusty Hill from ZZTOP passed away 2 days ago ...I love there music like you do Thomas !
One of my favorite groups. Saw them in Salt Lake City in the 70's. Loudest concert of all time.
I remember back decades ago when I heard about some musician my mom and dad liked died thinking that one day all these awesome musicians from the 70's would start dropping off. It's that day now. So sad. UA-cam, the time machine.
Something important I think you mentioned is weight. I backed this. I have a few power stations in the 1000-2000 watt range - Suaoki G1000, Leoch, Ecoflow Delta, etc. was recently doing a power cycle of a few of them and the weight point really was noticeable. Meaning, I’m more inclined to grab the lighter ones and use them unless I absolutely have no choice.
As mine are mainly for disaster preparedness purposes it’s generally less of an issue for me personally but damn it’s noticeable. I don’t see myself hauling this thing to my car to EV charge it unless I really make some huge strides at the gym.
I use the delta, & never looked back - very practical gear👍💨
steve linbergbaby - be careful . . . . there might be a Bluetti sneaking up behind you ! !
I bought a dual Delta Eco flow system but am planning to maybe get a Bluetti 2400 to work in unison.
@@joset8907 I couldn't decide on my first back up battery and watched many videos. I will only need for back up power with power outages with gas generator. I bought a delta with 160w panel and a river for CPAP back up. I got a good discount and paid $1950 for all. I didn't think that was bad and I can probably make these last for many years for emergencies.
@@richardhobbs9038 I doubt that. The EcoFlow is worlds away from Bluetti. Literally all the other reviews having it smoke anything Bluetti has. The charging features alone puts these above anything else. And I am totally against these larger units. They are all BS. People will spend thousands on them and never use it. And when they do it's going to be a huge let down. lol they just aren't there yet. Smaller unites are fine for small electronics. These larger ones are pure ignorance robing people blind.
@@DoubleD72 what do you think of the new Bluetti AC200Max or AC300? It claims to fully charge with solar panels in 2hrs. The Hobo Tech guy gave it the best review and total thumbs up.
Hi Tom, really appreciate your interest and work around informing us all out here on the products, performance and nuances of solar generators and panels. Been hanging with you on youtube for years now. Hasn't the portable solar world progressed quickly in efficiency over this time. Your reviews and advice to manufacturers certainly have had an impact on this. .and geez, having lived around the world, I so appreciate your sense of humour with life. Would love to sit down for a cuppa and a chat with you sometime. Never know if paths may cross. Tom, you have probably already received emails on this but was looking at the new Bouge rv 716 power generator. It looks good for a reasonable price. Also looking at the new inergy Flex. Big enough for good energy and small enough to be quite portable, even for a woman to move around. . Wondering if you will you be doing your hobo madman testing and review with the new Bouge rv 716 station? I know you get busy. I think a lot of us would appreciate if you can cut out some time. Thank you for everything. I have made a number of great purchases over the years (and stayed away from some less efficient models) from your reviews. Thanx man. You helped me to get into solar. Appreciate you.
BougeRV is a rebranded Bluetti EB70. I already did a review on that and offer $100 off hobotech.tv/amazon/#Power-Generators
Great review I just bought pro and extra battery but we had 21kw residential system and the next task is getting this hooked up to the house as grid tied backup
Lot to learn
If I were using all of his toys to charge the power station there would be significant electrical explosions based on my history. Still, I am impressed by what Hobotech does for us.
Impressive technical review, especially your explanation of the UPS difference between Ecoflow and Bluetti. I don't completely understand it, but it's information that will be useful as these solar "generators" evolve. Now the race is on for Jackery to develop a comparable portable unit.
I am tickled pink that ASKIVE mentioned you. Boy oh boy do I enjoy your tech talk, and meter reading. Much gratitude Hobo. I understand more, I learned.
Hobo man gets underpowered never thought I'd see the day 👍🤔😱🤪
I only stumbled on your channel about a month ago based on research that I was doing with cityprepping channel, which as you know sends many generator channels my way. Your channel has been a real favorite of mine (yes, I've subscribed). Your method of evaluating products is very straight forward and you explain things for those non-electrical engineer types; much appreciated. Your sense of humor at times has me belly-laughing at that is appreciated too. I love your professional approach to things and thought provoking considerations for homeowners. I will check out your storefront, even though I'm not a big fan of the small business bezos killing machine. But do understand that folks don't have the resources to put a brick-n-mortar into a shop or spend money on IT resources to maintain a website, which all takes away from your timely and informative reviews. Thanks so much.
OMG. The ending w solar panels in monsoon mud is hilarious. Is hailing now.
Thanks for posting this video. Good to know the good and the bad. Got some flat and already had truck ramps so I can maneuver regardless of which mobile system I get. Even 50 lbs is heavy for me.
Thanks Professor! I would have never known about X-boost without your review. You rock!
It's in the owners manual and hard to miss when you're using the app. It's also on the previous River series as well.
Thank you Hobo. Patiently waiting for a dialed in system.
Good review man. I'm glad you pointed that out the amp limit for solar. But combined with ac, solar, generator. That thing can really run pretty well if you are creative. Always enjoy your reviews. Keep it up.
Waiting for mine late October due to your first review, thanks Professor!
recently bought one and an extra battery.. it is doing pretty good.. it would truly be awesome if it could handle more solar input and could run an ac while plugged in.. we have been letting it charge while gone then unplugging it to run ac for now.. and well who doesnt wish it was less expensive
I really hope the EV station charging feature catches on. Would be nice to get a cheaper, mid range unit with this feature. $2.7-3k is a bit too rich for my blood.
You know you can buy a J1772 to NEMA 15 adapter on eBay and power pretty much anything, right? 240V ONLY! To get 120V you need to buy a step down transformer with the Watts rating double of what you are going to be drawing constantly. If you want to charge the Ecoflow Delta you would need a 4000W minimum rating step down transformer because the Delta charges at 1800W.
@@all-timehigh7393 Yeah, I had been eyeballing that very adapter. I already got an ac/dc supply to use with my back up generator that can handle the 240v. I just never actually went through with getting the J1772 to NEMA 15 adapter. Figured I'm probably better off not having to deal with potential nosy EV busy bodies.
@@MMORPGdude01 I have the Delta pro and decided to buy the j1772 to NEMA rather than the EV x-stream adapter. DP can charge 1800w at 120v and about 3kw at 240v.
@@all-timehigh7393 Sounds like you're living the dream. I'm limited to 600w max with my Bluetti EB150.
@@MMORPGdude01 yeah I bought a refurbished DP from eBay for 2799 includes 2 years warranty paid with PayPal credit 130 a month for 2 years. Pretty affordable!
Couldn't this be a game-changer for off-grid vanlife? Being able to charge at a charging station if needed for those living the stealth lifestyle could really be a lifesaver ... or am I missing something in using the Delta Pro Plus for full time with the usual van needs (aircon, induction stovetops, lighting, general electronics, etc.)
This is exactly what I’m thinking
@@MotoMatt418People in van life forums are completely dismissive of this. Technical videos show its capacity, especially with extra batteries, and You CAN CHARGE IT AT A STATION WHEN YOU NEED TO. No other set up has this option! If it weren't for the pandemic stopping me from getting a new van, I'd probably jump in on this. So sad.
Awesome! This was a great technical review. Thank you so much.
Great video as usual! Love the Quagmire insert!
Giggity...
I'm looking forward to hooking a pair of these up to my panel either with a transfer switch and the voltage doubler or the smart panel
I believe you.
I have an 11th Gen I7 with Lenovo with GeForce MX450 card and it last forever on a charge.
The new stuff is just so much better than just a few years ago.
So Basically this it the BEST SoGen out now, May be over kill for some though.
Issues you mentioned but then didn't note while giving your cons list was the underperforming Regulated 12V's outputs.
Are you in contact with the designers for them to know this or they just don't care?
If they say 30A and you prove its more 25A they really need to fix this or update there statements.
I’m curious if this pre production model isn’t up to full par of what the production model will be.
Great review. Incredibly comprehensive. Thanks
Big wheels please... That thing would have to live on a dolly for this old girl.
Exactly, a dolly decorated like an Egyptian barge
I do think bigger wheels would have made it easier to move around. If you see in my last video I have it on a trolley.
Good to know the difference between the EcoFlow and Bluetti UPS function
Very helpful and informative. Have a DP & EB; Good to know about X-Boost and charge rates!
Professor hobotech another thing pls add time stamp in your videos so someone can click to get to any topic he wants... and get his question answered thank u
Splendid review 👍 Some good features on this beast and always interesting to see the evolution from product to product.
Can I connect 2 Delta Pros with the doubler (?) and then use the 240 volt 30 amp receptacle to power a 50 amp RV with the appropriate adapter? I know it will only be 30 amps per leg bu this seems easier than rewiring my RV for solar (all of the wiring is under the bed and right above the 72 gallon fresh water tank).
THANK YOU!!! 21:30 PASS THROUGH CHARGING!!! Patiently awaiting you’re response to my question on your other video on this thing. Have fun with the family 😁👍
Sorry…added question, so with the pass through charging being limited, that would mean that it would be limited to the 1600w while tied into the solar, right? Then when the sun goes down would you still be limited to the 1600w? Sorry for so many questions, but it’s a ton of money for me. Thank you again
In 2024 feb they indicate 1600w i suppose they have upgraded it. It is now 11-150V - 15A.
They advertise we can plug 4 x 400w panels which is strange as the open circuit voltage is 48V so the max panels (400w) you can connected would three panels in serial connection.
The 12v output voltage drop that you are getting while testing is because you don't have a separate voltage sensing line. Can you try either have a parallel voltage sensing line into the tool or measure the voltage at the source with a voltmeter?
Hey Prof, You missed the obvious anti-theft feature. If it does go 'missing' the lay just needs to look for a bad guy ordering a truss.... Great review and thank you for all your hard work.
Great review. Im hooked on solar generators. Gonna buy one in the next month. This is more than I want , still love the updates on the upcoming products. Really like the bluetti ac200, its at the top of my budget. Is there a used market?
Id think as these come out, buying a 3 year old one still at 80%ish would work for hobos like me.
On the Bluetti Facebook page there have been a few people who are selling theirs. Not that they don't like them, just that they didn't need the bigger unit and want to sell it to buy a different one.
Thank You for All that you are doing for World Peace and for our Planet...
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. La Paz.. Namaste ..
🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮️ ❤️ 💐 🕊
Very good detailed review!
Thanks!
These are the types of details I wanted.
Everything about this unit seems perfect except for solar input, I've been trying to find a battery system with only input of solar for a friend who wants off-grid power.
This may still work, I'm thinking 3-4x 400watt panels, obviously won't charge at 1,600 W panel peak but more sustained charge throughout the day. 🤔
Well done HOBO ! Thanks for the “good stuff” !
I just bought one with 4 of their portable400w panels
What was the max input reading with all 4 panels hooked up?
@@ttsnews8035 haven't tried it yet but the specs say it can take 1600w max
ill let you know later once i do check it
@@supersasquatch 👍
Great review ! You said charging to 80% will be better for battery life. I thought LFP batteries should be charged to 100% for best battery life?
Can't wait to receive my 2 pros 🙌
THE GIGITY GOT ME
Power draw varies by processor load on the lappy if you're playing crisis you definitely won't get 7 days. It might be fun to play a big game on the power supply and see how long it lasts. I bet it's less than 2 days :3
Obviously. The vast majority of laptop users are web surfing. I roll with the majority when I do these tests.
I own a Merrac 600w powerstation. I would love for you to review it
Great video as always. I don't understand all (most of) the technical details but your videos are fascinating.
mine charged with about 2700-3000 watt, i guess change cabel or get more power in your house, i used 230v with a 10a wall socket, i think i spent like 1.5h to charge from 30% to full but i didnt check it often. Use a power cord capable of 3000+ wats, if u just use some small cheap cable, they get hot because they cant manage 3000 watt
Old news. This video was shot before they did the 3kw firmware update.
Hopefully you do a video on the Merrac power station I have one it seems to be doing a good job
Great video. I bought an delta pro after watching your review. Awesome product but wanted your thoughts on the reasoning their support says not to leave it plugged in overnight to solar panels because they may damage the batteries. James
I was curious how your DeltaPro has worked out over the past year? Would you buy it again?
Hey sir,
Do you have a video with the EcoFlow Delta Pro connected to the Smart Panel (not the Smart Panel 2)? Also, if only 1 Delta Pro is connected with an extra battery can I still use all 10 circuits without any problems?
My other question is can I do the same setup with the A310c or A510a and have all 10 circuits capability?
BRILLIANT ... as per usual, mate. Thanks.
(I locked in the Pro + addl battery when I saw your other EcoFlow DELTA Pro video. I plan on finding a fixed location in my Toyhauler garage and running a shoreline out the vent, or cutting a hole in the floor. I'd appreciate some feedback from you on that, if you have the time.)
I have the 230v Delta Pro: it can charge at 2800 watts from AC
Is that a Nz/Australian model? Any good? Pros/cons
It is heavy but you forgot to mention the extendable handle and small wheels which allows for moving the Delta. From room to room or outside the house. It may not be the best over dirt but still it is from what I have seen, portable.
I didn't forget. That is in the FIRST video.
@@HOBOTECH Yes, I saw that. I was thinking with this tech review, that in your dislikes, you mention the weight being cumbersome but didn't mention that it is easily movable despite the weight due to the convenient stowaway handle. That was all. If one did not see the first video they might think that the Ecoflow would have to be carried everywhere. I am comparing this Pro to my 3500watt Champion duel fuel inverter generator. About the same weight, can power most of the same devices, has a stowaway handle and wheels, has more features, outputs, is more compact, no maintenance, no engine/exhaust noise/odor. Can operate in the house and now with LiFePo4 batteries. I am at the point that I am now experiencing hesitation from purchasing these devices because of how rapidly newer and better, more powerful, although more expensive, backups are coming onto the market. Good review.
@@sanseiryu I don't find it that easy to move even with the handle. Unless you mean on a perfectly flat hardwood or cement floor then sure. I mentioned twice in the video to watch the first one and included end screen and cards pointing to it. You can't miss it.
WOW! Missed the kickstarter. I guess I’d better save another $1000 to be ready for the full price. Great review always. Thank you ☺️
Great review! If you buy the extra batteries can you in effect combine the power of the inverters together to power something like an RV A/C with heat pump that may draw say 4000 - 4500 watts as an example. I have the EcoFlow Pro and it won't power my RecPro A/C in heat pump mode as it powers up. I am wondering if adding more batteries will not only increase the kwHr but also the max amps allowed. Thanks so much for the great video.
if i understand you correctly..your saying not to charge at full 1800 watts AC and have any draw on it..that 'slow' charge should be used...would i use the switch to change to 'slow' and then w app choose the speed.. thought 'pass through' charging would take care of this..?
2 Ecoflow Delta pro and 4 Delta Pro Expansion Battery Kit test it out
Thank you for your story about the delta pro Sir.
Thanks for this review... I have 2 questions:
1. In your review, are you suggesting that the solar input circuitry is not capable of inputting the full 1.6Kw of energy from solar panels? You had some problems with this using your equipment and was wondering if that carried over into real world solar panel input capacity.
2. Will the remote give you the same access to ALL of the same features as the phone app?
Thank you :)
I got the delta mini and love the dc-dc charging for my PC! Great review, thanks! A bit pricey for my wallet. Sold out anyway right now.
What is stripped down from the pro. On HSN channel
Thank you so much for your review sir, based on your review, I have decided on the bluetti instead
Forgive me if this is an obvious answer. But does ups engage when charging with solar?
And thanks for that blip on ups. I've been trying to wrap my mind around TRUE pass through charging.... Even mentioned it in my recent video so very timely Sir.
Only with AC power because it has a bypass relay which skips the battery and allows the power to flow right through the Delta without touching the battery. If your unit is at 100% and you have solar hooked up it will perform like all solar generator by using pass through.
UPS is only used for grid/AC power.
@@Trillville43 Thanks Anthony! I'll have to test this out! Very interesting!
Imma try putting my EF River on a lower state of charge and see how the battery / load impacts the battery. Thanks again
@@HOBOTECH Thank you Sir!
I’m contemplating getting the EcoFlow 800w alternator charger for my EcoFlow 3600 W Delta pro. BUT My EcoFlow Delta pro (3600w) does not
Appear to have that two prong (with mini contacts) as input.
It has the Infinity Port(3 prong and mini’s) , and two extra battery ports (each with 4 prongs) but the cable shown coming from the Alternator does not appear the same. It looks like a 2 prong plus minis.
Am I missing something? It does not look like they play well together.
BTW - I love your channel! Very well done and informative.
You need an adapter from EcoFlow
Sounds like you need to install a interconnect on your electric panel so you can test large power banks like this.
Otherwise great info, thank you again.
Ecoflow with its store sales seems to be doing fine.
Great Piece - you checked the Anderson 30 amp 12 v port at full load but never mentioned the voltage. Could you please share the voltage while loaded. Thanks
Same as the other 12v. It's all one circuit.
Thanks I seen the discharge amperage however you neglected to show the voltage levels at full load. Certainly It didn't remain at 12 volts thru the entire discharge range did it? Thanks
I recently bought the "ECOFLOW Delta Pro*2" with the 240V Hub, the 400W panels Separately (for Mobil Charging or Emergency power option), I have Solar on my Home (5.3KW sys) that provides on a sunny day maybe 4.2K+ at the inverter, 1st ?, can you use a Dolly to move these ? I know they have wheels and not to bad on smooth surfaces to move, but was thinking if someone not strong enough (Aunt Betty say) needs to move it to Mom's house in back, is that an option ?, Also I'm thinking my daily Solar input from my roof being so much would supply an efficient amount to charge at least one of these in a day easily ?, I guess I'd have to see how efficient my Inverter is doing or if my PG&E meter is running backward.
Hey Tom, your videos are great. Watched nearly all of them at this point. I'm about to travel cross country and can't decide between the Ecoflow Delta Pro and the Bluetti AC300. I need to boondock in a smaller Tab 400 camper for a week at a time. The camper has 200 Watts of solar limited by a built in 200 watt controller with 2 AGM batteries and a 1200 watt inverter.
The two things that I'm not clear on between these two based on your great reviews are:
Does the Anderson outlet on the Ecoflow make it much easier to tie the external solar system into the campers existing power/batteries? I'm looking to be as internal to the camper as possible when it's not solar charging. The Bluetti doesn't have this option?
Can the Ecoflow really seriously power a small camper with minimal things on if the 30 amp plug really isn't 30 amps? Does the Bluetti have the advantage here?
Thanks! I'll be sure to buy through your links, if you can help me decide.
This is my favorite professor. Love u sir. Love your contents so so so detailed
Nice review Prof., thank you. When I charge my Eco Flow Pro to 50%, it discharges itself in a day to 0%, although there is no load. That seems wrong to me, could you think why this happens? Thanks.
Hey! What happened to that music you play when that little fan comes on? 😆
I couldn't do a time lapse with the air conditioner. Maybe next time.
In the U.K. it’s 240V so ai will need 2 of these how does that even work. Many of these batteries are 12v but the appliances in my house are 240v.
So perhaps that is what the sine wave inverter does.
You said 2 of these can be hooked together to get 240V. Please explain.
Thanks for the review… is it possible to damage the system if I already have a full solar system 27 panels 425kw.. will this still work to charge or is there something I need to decrease the power of the solar panels coming off the roof?
Hello Doc, between Bluetti AC200P versus EcoFlow Delta 2000, which one do you recommend?
The online specs for solar max charge Amp is 15amps.
@HOBOTECH
What are the recommended battery discharge/charge levels to extend battery life? I havent been able to find consistent info on this. Right now, i have it set to 30%-80%. Thank you all!!
it would be very nice if they would let us turn off the ups.. we have to charge it during the day then unplug it to use the air conditioner at night
Came across your site after going through generator vids. Compared to the rest, the tech reviews are awesome. You got me to subscribe after the Bruce Lee clip. Hahahaha!
Do you know if you can use a xt60 parallel connector y splitter to bring in solar power from two stand alone arrays?
So if you start at 120v how much of a drop is acceptable for appliances with a chip in them?
Surprised you didn't show off the retractable handle that makes moving it around like moving around a piece of luggage. Or the gigantic AC charging brick that is conveniently built in to the Delta Pro.
You're also using the old app.
I covered this in the FIRST video.
Hello Tom! Thank you so much for your videos, so detailed and helpful. Here i am one year later , i watch your video as i have decided to buy this Ecoflow delta 3600. We leave in Greece . Can we order it through u , to support your channel? Sorry to ask , i dont know how it works.
And i have one question. Do you think that after one year they really improved it? Like i see they have no rubber cover on any of the plugs?? Why? Keep on the great job. We thank you!!
Great review as always. This unit is just too big and pricey for me. Wish the new Ecoflow Delta Max was LiFePO4 instead of NMC, so for now, the Bluetti AC200P or Max seems to be the best option. Ecoflow needs to move to more LiFePO4 battery options in their mid-sized units like Bluetti has done. Guess they figure some people prefer the lighter weight over extended life.
That's exactly why. Same reason Jackery doesn't use LFP.
Hey mate. So, I want to use it I a Motorhome as the main power source. Can I plug in say, 2 5000w inverters to it an run a motor home like that? Or do I have to build a normal rv set up, may I ask? 😊
They now have the correct weight on the spec sheet on their web site. It say 84 lbs.
That’s the weight of the extra battery
Enjoyed your review. While I see the advantage of this unit right away, my question then, what if you plan more of a permanent. Set up. Can you add more batteries Or should you buy your batteries inverter and charge controller separate?
This was enlightening, if I'm not worried about the weight or the cost, which should I choose, this or the bluetti ac300?
In your video you say if your using 2,000 watts while plugged in to the wall charger, anything over will trip it, does the ac300 do any better? Either way I learned A lot
Solar charging up to 15A on their web site so, not sure which to go by.
i been watching your reviews....your honest consumer non bias walter cronkite style "and thats the way the way it is"
Hobotech finally received my Delta pro! Thanks to your amazing videos! What solar panels would you recommend that charge this mini tank?
Well my Brain is smoking now, I am going to have go sit under the AC to cool off. (VERRY GOOD VIDEO ) 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👏👏👏
Does you Solar Charging test at max 800W mean there is no point in charging it with more than 2x400W Solar Panels? ie 3x400W Solar panels won't charge it any faster?
Great review. Thanks for explaining the discharge side panel…i am using this beast for my van conversion. I got the 2 piece cigarette lighter adapters from your site. I am interested in using the Anderson port to power up my 12 V fuse box but having trouble finding the correct Anderson plug with a ring terminal (12 gauge). Any suggestions ?
The RFI noise test was not thorough enough and as such a bit misleading. I would suggest at least hooking a guitar or instrument cable to the amp input. Without a guitar cable connected the input jack is grounded to prevent AC noise and hum. For ham radio RFI testing you really need a radio with antenna connected and tune around the bands to check for noise. If you don't have ham or shortwave radio you could do a simple test with a portable AM broadcast radio. AC inverters are notorious for creating RF interference. Some manufactures are aware of this and take great measures to properly filter the outputs of their inverters. This costs money. Some cheaper brands simply don't care. As a ham radio operator I have spent considerable time and effort over the years tracking down and fixing RFI problems related to consumer electronics, HVAC and inverter systems. It's a constant battle with today's electronics ! Thanks for your review.
Watch my previous reviews. Cheaper inverters make a LOT of noise. I appreciate the suggestions but my videos are already too long and this meets the criteria for most users.
Why does it have a XT60I cable and not a normal XT60 cable? Also if anyone knows where I can get some info on how to wire the XT60I to make my own cable?
I have EcoFlow delta max and pro max is charging in 2000 w PowerDrive inverter in semi and also try to charge pro with same inverter but when I plug it throw the code overload and three bars with 50hz ac how to solve it .
Watching Hobotech I feel smarter and ready for apocalypse...:)
