Wow! I've been binge-watching EcoFlow and 12V battery videos for the past two weeks, and you absolutely nailed it with the content in this one. There isn't much information out there on this topic, so I really appreciate your insights. I was also blown away by the quality of the animations and the overall style-it's truly top-notch! The cinematography is out of this world!
Hi, thank you very much, I really appreciate your compliment. I tried to make it simple and informative. I’m glad it reached its target audience :) Have a great day!
Graphics and camera work are excellent! I understood why towards the end 😀 I wish EcoFlow would price the extra batteries accordingly. Their extra batteries often cost as much as the unit
Wow. Putting a piece of wire in the center and sending it to the negative port hack worked😂😂😂😂😂 You just saved me from buying the ecoflow $25 XT60i cable. Wowww!!!
Very nicely produced and high-quality video! Thanks for this information--I'm a new Delta 2 owner, and just became aware two weeks ago regarding the function of the XT60i connector in the Ecoflow models
I love your graphs. 👍 I knew all of that information already, nut its mice to see it clearly laid out in laymans terms and nicely done visually for others to see. I also use external batteries on all of my power stations and its been working great.
I like this video, to the point and some extra information about the 3rd pin on the XT-60i. My travel kit includes 2x 100AH Power Queen Minis connected in series to deliver the power I need during low sunshine, The PQs are recharged using 3x220w bifacial panels in series via a Victron 100x30 BT controller. My remaining bifacial panels are in series to recharge the D2M or D2. Thank you, great information
This is such a great video. Straight to the point. Didn't have to fast forward through 10 minutes of backstory. Also, bravo on the XT-60i connector hack. Thanks.
Great review. Was wondering if there's a possibility of connecting an external battery (not Ecoflow battery pack) via the expansion battery port by the side of delta 2 unit, instead of connecting it via the XT60i port? Reason for this is so the external battery can be permanently connected to the power station for continuous charge & discharge
Awesome video! It filled in the missing piece to the puzzle I have been researching. I have EcoFlow Delta 2’s and several Temgot 100AH batteries for expanding capacity. I was stuck not getting enough transfer from the XT60i cable, so putting the batteries in series is the solution. Can’t wait to test it out. Thank you!!
Just an FYI, in the newest build of the EcoFlow app, you can control the DC input under settings. Change it from auto to Solar or Car and it will switch. My River 2 max is charged in my truck with a 12v to 24v 480w step up converter And reaches the 220w max solar input without an XT60i connector
I have an Ecoflow Delta2 Max and I do this with 2 Epoch 460 batteries in parallel and 2 XT60i cables. I set the Ecoflow to 80% charge limit. I get about 450watts charge rate. I use it in my Sprinter van to provide 110v power while I draw 12v directly from the batteries for 12v loads.
Hey. I just got a cargo sprinter van and I need a power system set up I was told by a installer that I can’t run a van with my delta 2 and I would need to buy the eco Flo power kit 5kw system for like 8k I need a alternative solution because that price is insane. Can you help with and telling me what I actually need to get Parts wise?
Also to charge the external battery/batteries you would need a solar panel and a solar charge controller. You can charge the batteries up and run a long cable from the batteries to inside your house so you can use the ecoflow.
I Like a 24 Volt 100AH Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery for this Purpose. And easy to Charge the next Day when Solar is available for both Power Stations and Spare Reserve Battery.
That xt60i trick makes me pretty nervous, what if it came loose and shorted everything. It isn't worth the 40 cents or so you can buy that connector for to risk the whole power station and battery.
So many bad things in this vid. Always run a protection DC breaker or fuse at the battery post. Never dodgie wire into connectors they have set tolerances and you're going to wreck your power station socket. Buy the correct XT60i connector, they are cheap. Be sure the wire is rated for the correct current. As you add length you add resistance which requires thicker wire. Use an online calculator to choose the correct gauge of wire. Otherwise yes, the centre pin sets the charge mode.
TIL how Ecoflow works with XT60i connectors. Thank you. I have been using solar panel with regular XT60 connectors and wondering "Why don't I get the power I am supposed to be getting?" Now I know. Nowhere does the product documentation make any mention of that little tab on the XT60i and what it does and how it is used. Thank you again.
I wonder if this cable has the 3rd pin connected to the negative. Here is how it is described on Amazon. "XT60i to O Ring Terminal Cable，More Than 8A，10AWG Extension Cable XT60i Female to O Ring Connector XT60i-f " A couple of reviewers with Ecoflow Delta's said it increased the charging speed. One up to 178 watts, another up to 200 watts. And another used a multi-meter to confirm the 3rd pin is connected to the negative. I'm not comfortable modifying the connection on my own.
I actually had the same issue and realized that something in the 12V socket is affecting the outlets. I checked fuses all good but the 12V sockets used by the ECO Flow no longer work. So like you only solar . I will be trying this method however. As I drive alot kind of a waste for the battery to not sustain a charger if the option is there.
This is very interesting. And REALLY excellent production. I love the graphics and the no nonsense approach. Very clear, very usable information! I have a lot of hi capacity drone batteries (6s, 12000 Mah) and I'd love to use them to recharge the Ecoflow. I was thinking about ordering an Xt60i connectors and soldering that to a female XT60 and use it as an adaptor. I was a little worried about the exposed wire hack and this would be fully insulated and saves me from having to chop off a bunch of XT60s on my numerous LiPo. What do you think?
Hi, thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. I get it-it’s always tempting when there’s a pile of unused energy lying around somewhere :) I used to charge an older power station with video camera batteries in a similar way-direct connection through a DC connector, 12V, simple. You make do however you can when it’s needed :) If you’re worried about that additional pin on the XT60i, feel free to hook it up without it. Those 8A might be just fine for you; it’s not always about speed ;)
Buy the Ecoflow alternator dc to dc charger and get 800 watts. (Connected indoors, not to an alternator)You can then reverse charge it on cheap rate overnight electric using a timer plug. Then keep your D2max charging at 800 watts throughout the day as its in use powering the house with the built in inverter and powestream inverter.
@@VolvoCamperLife If we get blackouts due to our last coal fired power station closing, I'm ready with 3 of these and about 30kw storage. (Don't drink don't smoke so gradual investment to the obsession 🥸)
Just buy small 120v inverter and plug into factory charger get size inverter for same power that it max charges at. Then if power station is at 100% it will UPS the power so it will take from batteries first then the power station. If you do inverter then you can use any type of battery even lead acid because the factory charger for power station will be plugged into inverter.
So I connect a lifepo battery to the ecoflow and it charged the ecoflow , so my question is how do I charge the external lifepo battery? Or the ecoflow charges it when I connect to the ac input ?
There are a few options; I’ll try to cover them in more detail in my next video. While driving, I charge with a DC-DC charger, at home with an AC charger, and during camping with solar charging… there’s a solution for everything :)
Any chance of connecting the external battery to Ecoflow delta 2/2 pro using the expandable battery connection by the side of the delta 2 device, so that the external battery can be permanently connected to the delta 2 device?
just buy an stepup converter from victron 12v-24 turn the dyle up to get 33vmax output...done ... or even better for bigger setups, solarpanells to mppt to 48v rackmount 100ah. (not expensive 5000wh+-) and expantion is easyer in parrallel for those rackmount batterys ... no big cables needed also ...
I have Battery discharging limit problem with my two batteries: - Basen Green 11.7kWh 51.2V (BG) - Ecoflow Delta pro - inverter 3,6 kWh 48V (DP) BG charges DP via XT60 (solar) input with power 8A - 420W when necessary. With DP inverter I can't set BG as not to empty itself completely! so I please for help, what or how could I do to prevent BG from draining to 0%? Can you suggest some Battery status monitor that can stop charging when voltage drop below set limit?
Thank you. Yes, it’s a good point. I already have a 12V DC-DC LiFePo4 charger so it was one reason, but I plan to upgrade to a higher voltage whole setup :)
@@VolvoCamperLife thanks thats interesting, are you aiming for 24 or 48v battery? I cant seem to find xt60i directly from 24/48v battery setup on youtube. I tend to think it will still need alternator of some kind.
Ok, there is only one issue - Ecoflow DC protection on Solar is virtually not existing, and if you push Amps from battery to solar without limit above allowed solar input, you will burn DC charger on Ecoflow. Just check hundreds and hundreds videos on UA-cam when people complain they can't charge Ecoflow anymore.
Keeping under the voltage limit is critical not the amps. The Ecoflow pulls the amps. I've done this dozens of times with multiple Ecoflows. You could always add a fuse on the positive wires after the battery. And 24v batteries will transfer double the watts of the 12v. I use both depending on application.
@@VolvoCamperLife My apologies, I have River 2 Pro (220w max power source) and there is multiple issues with this kind of charging, it looks like it is not an issue with Delta 2 Max. Good to know.
I charge an external battery from the car while driving using a DC-DC charger at a rate of 20A, and that charges the EcoFlow. The same goes for solar power, it goes directly into the charger 😉
I agree, I’m not saying it’s the easiest way, but it’s more about the capacity. And the ratio of capacity to price. I go on 10-day off-grid trips and charge three batteries at once this way with a solar panel and capacity is great for long cloudy days.
@@VolvoCamperLife I live full time in my BMW X5 exploring during adventures. The Ecoflow bifacial solar panels are normally good enough year round, even in winter, to charge my River and Delta and fridge/freezer etc, but during prolonged days or weeks of bad weather it is simple to just turn on the engine and leave at idle for an hour or so to charge up the Delta 2 at 800W, or while driving to a new location in the rain. I can also plug 🔌 in the fridge and three extra batteries to my three 12V BMW cigarette lighter car ports while the 800W alternator charger is plugged into the XT150 port, all at the same time. The Ecoflow charger will automatically adjust the excess power being drawn from the main car engine alternator.
@@TobyCostaRica Yes, the SL250 Land cruiser for example, has a great inbuilt alternator. However, I hate EV or hybrid vehicles and much prefer petrol or diesel 4WD. I love the BMW X5 series, so will no doubt stick with the Ecoflow option and simply transfer the battery stations and 800W alternator charger when I update to a newer X5 model.
Do not try this with a Jackery. The Jackery reads that its charging off of Car and doesn't allow more than 100watts even using both inputs but allows 400watts solar. It shows a Car charger icon and has solar icon which i guess would allow more and cant find a work around. My 1000 V2 is 35 days old and can't return so its going up for sale. Also means you cant use a charger1 or Pecron Smart C which was the goal. Ecoflow pre-ordered.

Hello friend, I'm Janice. we admire your work and believe our products would resonate well with your audience. We’d love to send you the lithium battery sample for review and collaboration. If you're interested, please let me know!
C'est une très bonne idée. Mais le problème c'est que sans rien faire ma batterie delta max est déjà en panne 5 fois en 2 ans. 2 batteries de remplacement en panne à la première utilisation. Lorsque la batterie est en panne je dois attendre Le service après vente pendant 2 mois ou plus. Mois j'évite de bidouiller la batterie. J'en ai trop besoin. Par contre la batterie 100 Ah est bien 😂
Buy a 12v LIFEPO4 charger, plug it to the AC output of the Ecoflow or charge the battery with your solar panel and charge controller. Thats all. But the reason the videos wouldn’t show that is because that is not the purpose of the video. The purpose of the video is to show you how to extend the battery of your power station for cheap since the extra batteries sold by these power station manufacturers are too expensive
DIY is much cheaper. It involves two lithium 100 amp batteries and a charge controller, inverter, lithium AC charger, and some other parts. It may not look as good, but it is way cheaper.
Dude, you are confusing Watts with Watt-hours. You should clearly not be doing DIY projects with electrical components. Good luck convincing your insurance when your house burns down.

Far easier to simply use an Ecoflow Alternator Charger to immediately provide 800W.

The Ecoflow bifacial solar panels are normally good enough year round, even in winter, to charge my River and Delta and fridge/freezer etc, but during prolonged days or weeks of bad weather it is simple to just turn on the engine and leave at idle for an hour or so to charge up the Delta 2 at 800W, or while driving to a new location in the rain. I can also plug 🔌 in the fridge and three extra batteries to my three 12V BMW cigarette lighter car ports while the 800W alternator charger is plugged into the XT150 port, all at the same time. The Ecoflow charger will automatically adjust the excess power being drawn from the main car engine alternator.
@@Globetrotter-1 this is the reason why hybrid 4x4s shine. The new landcruiser has a 2.4kw inverter.
@@TobyCostaRica Yes, the SL250 Land cruiser for example, has a great inbuilt alternator.
However, I hate EV or hybrid vehicles and much prefer petrol or diesel 4WD. I love the BMW X5 series, so will no doubt stick with the Ecoflow option and simply transfer the battery stations and 800W alternator charger when I update to a newer X5 model.
@@Globetrotter-1 yes if the US had a diesel version pre-emission it would be a hit. Now diesel emission devices are the source of a lot of issues.
My god, I thought I was locked into their eco system in the "extra battery price"
Can it work in river 2 max?
In that case, you don't need to buy an expensive eco flow, you just need a battery and an inverter.
Do not try this with a Jackery. The Jackery reads that its charging off of Car and doesn't allow more than 100watts even using both inputs but allows 400watts solar. It shows a Car charger icon and has solar icon which i guess would allow more and cant find a work around. My 1000 V2 is 35 days old and can't return so its going up for sale. Also means you cant use a charger1 or Pecron Smart C which was the goal. Ecoflow pre-ordered.
Can it recharge the extra battery too?
With a LiFePo4 charger yes, I use DC->DC charger in car for charging during drive, I will make a video about it, stay tuned ;)
@@VolvoCamperLifeyeah I have been reading comments to see how to charge the batteries pretty interested
Your graph on "Series Barreeies" .. "Is Correct."
. More Batteries will give you a Higher Voltage but not Access to Higher Current.!

Hello friend, I'm Janice. we admire your work and believe our products would resonate well with your audience. We’d love to send you the lithium battery sample for review and collaboration.
If you're interested, please let me know!
C'est une très bonne idée.
Mais le problème c'est que sans rien faire ma batterie delta max est déjà en panne 5 fois en 2 ans.
2 batteries de remplacement en panne à la première utilisation.
Lorsque la batterie est en panne je dois attendre Le service après vente pendant 2 mois ou plus.
Mois j'évite de bidouiller la batterie.
J'en ai trop besoin.
Par contre la batterie 100 Ah est bien 😂
Someone needs to test the $125 watts cycle 12v 100ah batteries
i should have gotten the smart PowerQueen battery :(
12V电压太低了，你使用一个升压模块或者两个电池串联到达24v更高电压。
他已经用了3个电池，最好用的是太阳能板。
@@ferdm9646 电池接一个升压模块也行，12v-24v-36v-48v
@@jimyang6869 是的，模块会发热而且耗电。国外很多人不想用。有一些人用DC-DC充电器。
I didn't understood whether it was a ecoflow commercial or a power queen commercial
Yes you don’t understand.
All these videos never show how to charge that batteries from the eco flow
Buy a 12v LIFEPO4 charger, plug it to the AC output of the Ecoflow or charge the battery with your solar panel and charge controller. Thats all. But the reason the videos wouldn’t show that is because that is not the purpose of the video. The purpose of the video is to show you how to extend the battery of your power station for cheap since the extra batteries sold by these power station manufacturers are too expensive
@@EasyyokeFilms TY
You just need a 12v to 48v booster
That’s another way to go, thanks for the tip :)
wow that's some really dirty work.
DIY is much cheaper. It involves two lithium 100 amp batteries and a charge controller, inverter, lithium AC charger, and some other parts. It may not look as good, but it is way cheaper.
dommage, pas en français
Power Queen battery is too much expensive
Please loose the music and talk to us. You give lots of great info, but it is hard to read it with music on.

Dude, you are confusing Watts with Watt-hours. You should clearly not be doing DIY projects with electrical components. Good luck convincing your insurance when your house burns down.
At which point?
Dude , dc step up converters exists. 20$
That’s another way to go, thanks for the tip :)
