My inverter board shorted out on my ecoflow Delta Pro can I purchase in August. I contacted eco flow. Turns out they don't want to honor the warranty cause i didn'tt buy it from an authorized dealer. I bought online open box. It worked great for 6 months for the 8 times i used it.
I have the Delta 1300 and it's a beast. It really came in handy during that crazy winter storm early this year. I was so impressed with how well the Delta handled that I backed the Kickstarter Delta Pro.
How can he say it is smart design by putting the 'stuff that doesn't get as hot... they put it in the centre'? The two biggest heatsinks are in the centre. What gives?
Daniel Reviews on youtube has had two of his ecoflow delt pros loose the xt60 port. It has got pushed inside the unit. I told him to open it himself and see if he could fix it but he would rather send it back to ecoflow for a refurbished unit. I told him to watch this video!
my solar connector wasn't screwed down and today it pushed in. I could hear a screw drop. Now I have to open it as you've done. I wonder if this violates the warrantee to open it.
Jehu you didn't show where the breakers are and you need to do some testing with a heater plus like on another comment we saw that the wires in the Nema 30 amp connection the wires are connected backwards... The 20 amps plugs are connected in the board in one circuit so the total power consumption still 20 amp maximum, some people think that every one of those receptacles are 20 amp each but the design is for 20 amp each but this doesn't mean that the equipment is gonna give you a total of 80 amps...
I was trying to find some specs on the MPPT Charge Controller for the Delta Pro that you had towards the end of the video - MR500-UV-MPPT to see if by chance it was rated for higher voltage input than what they advertise? The updated specs on their website says that it can handle: 1600W Max, 11-150V, 15A I'm not sure how to get to the 1600W of power though; well perhaps if I used more, smaller panels and did some sort of series parallel setup to max out the Amp / V input requirements. I wanted to use some REC Alpha 400 solar panels but they have a VoC of 48.8 volts, so I can only put 3 panels in series without going over the 150v max; but I thought maybe it was rated for higher than advertised. Has anyone gone over that in testing? If so did some alarm trigger, cutting off the charge controller, or was it able to handle more voltage consistently?
The solar conector input is it a t60 or t90 and could you connect a larger battery bank 20kw home built through that port with a dc to dc converter to regulate dc power to les tha 150 v and 10 amps. I want to put a small 1000w propane generator with a dc charger through that port and use the ecoflow to buffer energy spikes from larger appliances could you tests those 2 capability’s
On that 30amp 120volt plug looks like the white wire is hooked up to the gold screw and the black to the silver screw that should be the other way around.
I would like to see a password integrated into the system, so if a unauthorized user cannot turn the unit on, or if the unit is stolen it would be worthless. I would think the unit would be high on the list of easy to steal items.
so, interesting, the voltage of the battery is not mentioned anywhere, but it is a 48V... That means it has converters to drop to the 12V and other outlets ...gonna be more efficient on the AC side(HOBOTECH says 93%). ...but how does it push 48V+ to charge the battery, does it have smart switching that converts the pack to a 12V/24V on the charge side? how does that work? must one have a solar array setup to higher than 48V?
Incase you don't know who the big 4 are they're David poz Jehu professor hobo and will prowse both jehu and will do tear down and that is good because they let you know built quality a good quality build will tend to last longer
Can you test the input for wind turbines? Ecoflow has mentioned that is a new feature? Also wished you could of showed us the battery, but perhaps Ecoflow didn't want that shown yet..
I would like to see a video of replacing the batteries on one of these. If batteries are a consumable product, then there should be an easy way to replace them with new ones.
Thank you very much for sharing the architecture overview of Delta Pro. I recently purchased one for home backup during emergency but quite unfortunate it stopped working after 3 weeks of use. I contacted EcoFlow support but no response. It seems the warranty is limited and does not cover the product outside UK. But from the look of things, I could discover that the inverter section of the unit has failed because I could perceive a burnt smell from the Front Right of the unit. How do I get a replacement inverter charger board for the unit?
Exactly that's what I was going to mention that, I'm a certified A/C and D/C electrician with 23 years of experience and I've seen lots of equipment like this with discrepancies of this nature this means that the company doesn't have a good quality control, in this case the black wire ia the one that conducts the Current and the white wire is the Neutral and the green wire is the Ground and in the A/C power the Neutral ia connected to the Neutral in the Main Service Panel. That was a good catch by you 👍👍👍
I broke my solar charge sience I put more voltage more than 150 v . What can I do now ? Can I replace the part ? Ecoflow Europe sayd that cannot be fixed anymore...😢
How come their own website refer to this at a 25kwh system when using all 6 components (2 delta pros, 4 batteries)? I add up 3.6Kwh time 6 units and I only get 21.6Kwh of store energy...not 25kwh... Great Job, thanks for the teardown!
Can I use the EcoFlow unit Anderson connectors to hook up my solar panel that has Anderson connectors to charge my EcoFlow Delta Pro? Thanks for the response!
The DC-AC convertor seems quite anemic for it's power. At 3500W it has low number of capacitors on HV also LV, even if it has short wires from battery. In rest looks good.
Question, do the 115 AC outlets have individual breakers? 20 amp max each or for all four? And missing from this teardown... the batteries, lets get some info on them.
Hi, if you pause the video at 9:00 - 9:05 you can screen shot the image and zoom in wide and they are connected together as a one circuit but still the receptacle plugs can be use up to 20 amps but the circuitry board should be built in a good quality materials to sustain 20 amps and I kinda imagine that this equipment have been already tested to do such work...
@@MrSeth166 I got that and given the inverter output and the heavy connectors the weak link seems to be the curcuit board. I see solder joints with perhaps sensors on the other side, still I would like to confirm if each socket is individually protected.
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!!
@@DallasAya Are you saying that if you let it discharge to one hundred percent it will blow it up if you try to charge? Or it COULD blow up? Or it most likely wont, but in 1 out of a thousand times blow up?
@@DamienGardner it’s not really a “cock up” but it’s more of just a different flavor. Some units like Goal Zero’s use vertical orientation. The power pole connectors have grooves to support both.
