If you buy just a standard computer cable it's liable to get hot and start a fire, you wanna keep an eye on the gauge of the wire that you use with that because it draws a lot of watts.
My original Delta 1300 bought 12-2020 failed at 1.5 years in due to cooling fan failure = overheat between use & charging. The warranty replacement was a bit involved, but straightforward . . . . and I am pleased with the replacement unit appearing to be new / not 'refurbished. They did return my original solar charging cable which is long allowing decent separation of panels from unit. Am pleased with EcoFlow. thanks, RH
Excellent review by you! I bought one of these yesterday and you are super helpful. Other thing is your voice is so pleasant. You must have one of the most pleasant voices I’ve ever heard on UA-cam. Please keep doing videos and your voice is lowering my blood pressure. Lol.
My Delta 2 and solar panels just arrived this week. 3000 life cycles and expandable with even Delta Max battery to get over 3,000wh. All less than 80 lbs
I bought one, plus the expansion battery. Right now, my wife's oxygen concentrator is plugged into it. I am working on building out my truck to do off-grid camping, and this will feature greatly in my plans!
The expansion battery is EXPENSIVE. Just buy a 24v 100 ah battery and feed the power into the delta whenever you need more power. Charge the 24v battery by solar to get free power.the 24v battery will fill your delta full again 2 times for a lot less money.
Wonderful review. I'm really excited about this DELTA 2 release and your review certainly explained and demonstrated a lot of the features. I believe the gold-colored button is to allow a user to quickly discriminate between version #1 and version #2 of the DELTA power station but so does the expansion battery connection port on the side of the DELTA 2. The APP that supports this station is key to the ease of use and monitoring of this station. In the APP there is a feature referred to as "Smart Generator Auto ON/OFF". I believe that allows a user to connect EcoFlows gasoline powered generator to this DELTA and when the DELTA is running low on stored electrical energy the EcoFlow gas generator will automatically start and charge the DELTA then turn itself off. A great feature if you can afford it. The new battery chemistry is, LiFePO4, is great because of the longer battery life cycles. And this DELTA 2 allows me to expand by purchasing an expansion battery once my budget allows. You sure have a lot of cell phones and watching the Deer pass by was nice.
Thank you for viewing the review! The app feature is definitely a big plus when owning a power station as long as it works stably, and I had a pretty smooth experience, thankfully. Also, I didn't know about the Smart Generator feature! That sounds incredibly innovative. The LiFePO4 batteries are a much-needed upgrade for power stations, making it worth even more to get a power station knowing that your money is paying for something that will last even longer. Yeah, I've got quite a few phones, but they're just a few old / used ones that I only use for testing. I'm probably the last person ever to buy a new phone. 😄 The deers were absolutely the highlight of this video.
I bought a Delta 2 on a payment plan I'm going to be paying this thing off until I'm 80. And I just stumbled upon your review and I've got to say this is the best review of ever seen of any product anywhere!!! Seriously
Appreciate the actual size view you’re giving us. Like that I can get a great sense for its size and structure. Great overview of the connections and clarity of the HD video.
I wish they just upgrade the delta max with two plug for extra 2 batteries or you could use 1 extra battery then another plug for the smart generator but delta 2 only had 1 plug so you need to switch between extra battery and smart generator all the aspect of thr delta 2 should move it to the delta max
I ordered and received my Delta 2 power station and have only one concern when operating the unit unplugged from any house AC outlet grounding the unit through the house grounding circuit. Floating ground is not your best friend in some situations. Would love to see a ground terminal lug on this unit. Just saying....
When connected to an empty or incompletely charged extra battery the power station will shift its own capacity into the battery. In the end you have two half-full or equally charged devices but none at 100%. In order to use the complete original load you now have to carry two heavy units with you instead of only one. In other words: while connected you cannot get a completely charged main unit unless the extra battery is fully charged too. I do not see any benefit from that. What do you thinks is the deeper meaning behind this?
So the efficiency seems pretty poor for a 1000wh unit - from looking at the display on your unit it shows 60watt output will last 10 hours? So effectively 600wh? That's not very good...
I recently purchased this unit for the purpose of operating my refrigerator if power went out... IT DOES NOT WORK!!! They told me that it would power it and IT DOES NOT!!! I attempted to contact Ecoflow and was cut off after waiting for a period of time on hold...... I then called again and spoke with a female and explained the situation. She said that having purchased it only a couple weeks ago, I was able to return it but would have to pay shipping and a "transaction fee"....... I told her to please send me the return information and the labels, to which she agreed..... I then received the email she said I would receive with NO return labels that SHE SAID WOULD BE ATTACHED.... I am waiting for another email with the labels currently but am not hopeful that I will receive them without another call.... GOOD LUCK IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES....................
I just received my delta 2 charged it full, then I tested my refrigerator Big Samsung with 2 big freezing drawers at the bottom and it lasted for 6 hours ,if smaller unit should of last longer like 7hours .So it worked for me.......don't understand why yours don't work !
Gotta be honest, I'd go with the DELTA 2. I love testing out each power station on a case-by-case basis, but when comparing the DELTA 2 to FJDynamic's MP2000, the DELTA 2 is better, in my opinion. DELTA 2 has: -More info on its display -App integration -Lower price, and if you buy a DELTA 2 Extra Battery, you reach about the same price and capacity as the MP2000 -LFP batteries that last much longer than the MP2000's Lithium-Ion batteries -Smaller and lightweight The MP2000 may have a 2000W output, but the DELTA 2 gets close enough with its 1800W regular output, which can be pushed to 2,200W with the X-Boost feature via the EcoFlow app. The 1,024Wh capacity on the DELTA 2 is a bit of a disappointment, but it keeps the price low for the unit, and you always have the option to expand with an extra battery.
@@chargerharbor thanks! I got an offer from fj power same price as the delta 2 since they are expanding in Sweden. But I agree, delta 2 looks better plus it's LFP
I am not able to update the firmware at 100% charge status. The app says it is 5% charged and unable to update. No help from EcoFlow yet despite reporting this issue.
@@chargerharbor - with some units the battery will not provide full potential until cycled from full to empty & back a couple of times. I got a Bluetti AC200P that initially was erratic in power display vs actual output. An e-mail later with the battery 'learning-curve' explained and applied solved the problem! Full capacity & proper display have been experienced since full-cycling the unit twice. Larry C may not have fully cycled the unit?
I’m a bit late, but they work similar to a UPS, can set a charge limit to protect battery and it’ll do ac pass through when plugged in. The switchover time isn’t as fast as a standalone ups though, so if there’s any electronics involved they might reboot depending on what they are
Yeah, it definitely can be. I suppose that's the equivalent change that comes with not having to deal with gas. Although it's really only something you have to deal with when it comes to powering high-wattage appliances, I understand the concern. At least you can practically control the fan speed while recharging the DELTA 2.
Don't buy delta 2... It works OK for a short while then you have nothing but Bluetooth and WiFi connection problems. I bought a second unit and it is doing the same. ECOFLOW SUPPORT IS NOT ADEQUATE
To all potential buyers, please avoid buying Ecoflow products. I recently cancelled my 2 orders of Ecoflow Delta 2. They are refusing to refund me. I've never received the products since they have recalled the shipment. I felt robbed :( Just a public service to all potential buyers.
After he said umm umm umm for about the 50th time, I stopped watching. I was about 5 minutes in. Listen Sport, take a Speech Class at your local community college, and learn how to speak correctly.
ECOFLOW ROBBED ME!! I ordered x2 Ecoflow Delta 2 that cost around @2,600 dollars. . I had called customer service to cancelt them right away and I was assured that they won't be charging me for shipping because I won't get the products anyway. After 2 weeks. They charged me shipping cost on the first order plus penalty of more than 4%. They stated that penalty is 2.6%. I felt these penalties are too much for items I have not even touched. They refused to refund me on the second order citing system error on their part. Ecoflow are thieves who robbed their customers. Please don't purchase any Ecoflow products. Very bad customer service. They are plunderers who must be jailed and not allowed to do business in America.
Dude clearly flipped up twice, and the noise went from a low on the 1st flip, to higher noise on the 2nd flip of the switch, Watch it again. He did a good job at presenting this product, and that why I subscribed, and more importantly, I'm really looking at buying this product.

This is what Im looking for. My mother is on oxygen. How long will it power the oxygen b4 it needs to recharge

Appreciate the actual size view you’re giving us. Like that I can get a great sense for its size and structure. Great overview of the connections and clarity of the HD video.
Thank you for this video. It’s crazy how none of the photos on Amazon as of this post show the ac outlets.
Love that App it's so clean and easy to use
Yeah, it's definitely a great plus when owning an EcoFlow power station.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFORMATION. VERY WELL MADE VIDEO. VERY HELPFUL. AND COOL TO SEE 2 NICE DEER IN YOU RE BACKYARD. HAVE A NICE DAY .
I am already sold with the LFP batteries. 3000 charge cycles is quite a lot.
This is what I am talking about. A power station that can last for 10 years without breaking a sweat.
It's not going to last 10 years.
Thanks for the review of the Delta 2. It is good to see that Ecoflow was able to improve the charging time to 80 minutes.
Thank you, execellent review ,thebest part , easy to undrrstand and follow instructions.
I just got mine today and I love it already. Looking to upgrade later to 3kwh
It seems that Ecoflow has another winner on their stable. A power station that has 3000 cycles of charging.
Great job thanks for all the tests! Mike
Thanks for going through the Bluetooth!
Much appreciated. Greetings from Germany
Thank you for watching! Greetings from the United States.

Thanks for a great review.

Great Review👏🏾😃
great video, Appreciate you sharing the information. Is this model able to charge up using a car cigarette plug ie in the car ?
Do you think it's possible to change out the fans to quieter Noctua fans? Someone did it with the River 2 with amazing results.
Not sure. That sounds incredible, though. It'd be pretty cool to have the ability to customize power stations, the same way we customize PCs.
When connected to an empty or incompletely charged extra battery the power station will shift its own capacity into the battery.

are all power stations as loud as the Ecoflow or is it just an Ecoflow thing?
So the efficiency seems pretty poor for a 1000wh unit - from looking at the display on your unit it shows 60watt output will last 10 hours? So effectively 600wh? That's not very good...
You can check out my capacity test here:
ua-cam.com/video/tWVe2ASYc6E/v-deo.html
Your videos are great! Are you interested in testing LifPo4 battery charger?
Any idea on what max wat solar panels can be charging this ? And is it ok for it to be charging and being used at same time with max wat charging ?

Did you turn on the AC power near the outlets?
thank you so much
No problem. Thank you for watching.
What kind if mid to high wattage items can you run off of it? Ty fir your review.
Does the Delta 2 have the Emergency Power Supply feature? Want to use this with 3/4 hp sump pump.
The 3000 charge cycles can easily last 10 years and more.
Can you connect to your mains?
If you have to choose between fj power and delta 2 which one will you get? Thanks

I am not able to update the firmware at 100% charge status. The app says it is 5% charged and unable to update. No help from EcoFlow yet despite reporting this issue.
Do you know how to get 100w charge from USB? I have a new iPad, fast charging USB-C to Lightning cable - but it charges at 15w
Does it have a warning sound for when it reaches a low battery level like at 20% or 10%?
Nope. No warning sound for when it's low on power.
Did you test its efficiency? Some are complaining its efficiency is only in the 70's. I've seen anywhere from 76-85% efficiency which is disappointing
I'll get right on that, currently working on a video for a Ampere Time deep cycle battery. Then I'll do a efficiency test for the DELTA 2.

Can it power a space heater
Is the solar charger mc4 for panels ?
where is the mc4 to xt60 cable? if i want to solar charge?
Can this power a portable Ac
18:41 😊😺
Can you run this with Window Air conditioner? How long will it last?
Curious about that too
Find out how many watts your ac conditioner is.. for example if it uses 500watts you have maybe 2hrs.
can it run a medium size window AC unit?
That was two deer.🤔
It was! It happened so fast I didn't have time to process the other deer. lol.
Don't worry the price will drop.
to bad it is so loud when charging ........still hesitate to buy it because of that .....
You can adjust the recharge speed from the EcoFlow app. Lowering the wattage input causes the fans to spin slower and become more quiet.
Loud means it’s doing it’s job. Which is cooling.
how many hours can it run and electric blanket on medium settings ?
fan is too loud.
Yeah, it definitely can be. I suppose that's the equivalent change that comes with not having to deal with gas. Although it's really only something you have to deal with when it comes to powering high-wattage appliances, I understand the concern.
