funny, I had the same question, but I figure it does not matter, you can still see the charge progress on the extra battery on the app by tapping on the extra battery icon, you can see them both charging
Before connecting the smart battery to your Delta pro be sure both units are off. Hold power buttons for 3 seconds with all charging cables removed. When you switch to slow charge you can adjust your charging using the EcoFlow app. Under settings, AC charging speed. When set to fast there is no adjusting the 1800 watt speed.
Any idea how much it costs to charge the battery straight off of the grid. If you can see on your power bill what you pay per watt would you just multiply that by 3000 for that one unit? Not counting for any solar input. I was just curious how much it costs to change up the devices using regular household power. Any answers and suggestions for math formula is appreciated. Thanks
Why does everyone want app access 😭😭😭, hacks are being disguised as updates in firmware updates on just about everything now days. I don't want someone turning off my power! If I wanna be a ghost deep in woods I don't wanna be tracked and disturbed when the economy collapses but I guess all the companies are forcing this crap on people and saying o the people want this 🤣. Why zero point energy why😭 geez I figured being made in America would be better but nope seems like they wanna know you information just like all of them do 🤬. Can they not make a good power station that doesn't require constant updates to fix little bs problems ? A gas generator is looking way better and supports my beliefs in freedom!!! Gonna buy my own kit without all that fancy internet junk I bet a lead acid battery and inverter with a standard 60amp charge controller without internet bs will do better than any of these systems. Least am able to easy replace things myself and the failure rate will be near zero! Companies nowdays make things to where you can't fix them yourselves and are designed like crap to keep customers paying why you think they release junk first then say hey here's a upgrade model 🤣. Disappointed in zero point energy for doing this!!!! 👎
Thanks for the video. I'm impressed with how well your Eco Flow worked. I didn't see a surge spike when the AC turned on - does that mean that this is an inverter air conditioner like the Midea where the air conditioner is DC (I think) with an inverter built in? I'm wondering if their are window air conditioners specifically made for battery input that does not require an inverter on the battery to convert from DC to AC and then a second inverter on the air conditioner to convert back from AC to DC (I hope I have this right). With an efficient setup with supplemental solar, might be able to save some with $300 plus electric bills in the summer to run the AC without having to do the tie he solar to the grid? Thoughts?
The eco flow and most solar generators or power stations have built in inverters to go from battery to household current. You don't need another convertor for the ac. Most of the.new ACs have a "soft start" feature that works really well with solar. That's why you didn't notice any spike or lag when the compressor kicked in. I run a 5000 BTU AC in my camper easily with 400 ah of battery and 500 wts of solar. I have a smaller ecoflo 1800 model and it can run the AC almost 24 hours with solar input all through the day.😊
PointZeroEnergy does not provide the Amperage spec for The 12VDC battery ports, and the amount of current draw for recharging the Generator after going into Safe Mode. Do you happen to know what that is (for the Original Titan)? Do you know if they are going to have Display upgrade kits for the Original Titan, to the ones they have on the Titan Boost's? If I make another Solar Generator purchase from PointZeroEnergy , I am not going through ShopSolarKits again. The entire time loss & mess you have to go through to get Tech Support from either of these companies is beyond asinine.
Bad warranty mango power don’t stand behind their product warranty I got 2 units one works but turns off the account when it goes to 100% charge from solar and the 30 amp plug it’s wire internally so can’t use the 220 volt adapter and the other unit quit working after a week of use no screen power and after 3 months of emailing mango power one reply to send a return label now after a month 0 replies they stop answering super bad service I’ll never buy anything from them if you already have one good luck if it goes bad on you never buy this products look for a company that stands behind their products
Bad customer service they don’t stand behind their warranty at all I got 2 units the first one works but turns of the ac once it goes to 100% charge from solar and the RV 30 amp plug it’s wired backwards internally so can’t use the adapter to get 220 volts the other unit quit working a week after use no screen power and after emailing Mango power for over 3 months got a reply with a promise to send a return label now a month later nothing and they stop replying don’t buy this units it’s a shame has a good battery pack if you already got one good luck hope it don’t go bad on you
My only gripe with these units is the cost. Ideally, if you can keep your wattage low enough to last 24hrs (and charge in the day with solar panel$) that would be great. Unfortunately, depending on the battery technology, they will slowly lose their charge after so many cycles. Instead, I ended up purchasing the smaller River Pro units for 12-hour lights and fans and using a small gasoline generator to handle large loads like AC's/Fridges/ and other appliances throughout the home. These are great for short-term use or emergency scenarios, at the moment the cost-benefit analysis still supports the traditional generators. Insightful video but very expensive to go fully off grid.
The New lifepo batteries they are using boast 3000 to 3500 charges before going to 80% and then they are still usable. That is about 10 years of life and more. If you look at the big whole house generators (gas/propane) they are very expensive as well. If you live in a place where you have enough sun it seems like a great investment to me. Now in 10 years I may be cursing but by then they will much less expensive or have another energy source available. Sounds like Musk is investing hydrogen. It may be the next great adventure. But I think solar will always be viable unless we have a catastrophe and it's cloudy. 😅

This is a better, more complete explanation of charging the Smart Batteries than I've seen from EcoFlow. Can you charge both at the same time or do they need to be charged separately?
Delta Pro gets charged by AC or Solar, the Extra Battery is charged by the Delta Pro, so its a chain :D the Extra Battery cannot get any other source of charge but from the Delta Pro
It would be very helpful to see the coco-core process. How that’s prepared and what it looks like when you have the right amount inside the compartment. Thank so much.
What I didn’t see in this video, but in others, and what I don’t like is that you have to screw it into the floor and then to empty it you unscrew it again?
@@HayleysComet3 hey there! Sorry we missed that in the video! You screw a bracket to the floor and toilet clicks into the bracket, then when you need to empty it, you just unclick the bracket and the toilet is free to clean 👌🏻
My newly-purchased Delta Pro and extra battery have been in place, ready to get activated for a week now, while I tried unsuccessfully to find a "no-brainer," video of someone actually doing it. Even the Ecoflow tutorial video just points out the ports on the machines for the power cord, and for the battery cable, and assume that you can go from there. Yes, it is simple, and I pretty much figured that I could do it, but before fooling with powerful, expensive equipment, I wanted foolproof, detailed instructions, in order to feel confident that I could get it set up without screwing on. I search, and search, and everything I found until now had the premise that it is so simple that no actual demonstration is necessary. I am so grateful that the Wild Oak Trail guy saw it from the point of view of a new user. I was glad to read the comment of @handjgerhardt7391, who had a similar observation: "Just got my add-on battery and wanted to be sure how to get it connected up to the Delta Pro w/o screwing anything up. 🙂"
Nice video and I too have a Delta Pro with two batteries AND connected to an AC unit yet in a different way. FIRST of all though, I live in the desert in Arizona and we WISH we could get your summers!..... It traditionally get 110 degrees Fahrenheit here (That's almost 44 Celsius) for WELL over 30 days straight in the summer. It will get in the one hundred and teens for MANY days straight. So YES, man, it gets HOT here!..... The one thing that is very different in my setup is that I found a mini split unit that is a hybrid unit. Because we have SO much sun here, it runs 100% FULL BLAST during the day on 3 solar panels alone using ZERO grid OR inverter power (The panels are 455 watts each in parallel) It prioritizes solar FIRST then gradually uses the grid or Delta Pro as needed. While this is running off of solar, I have another array specifically for my Delta Pro unit with 3 batteries just focused on charging the units during the day using NO output. The DP Pro and the two batteries will get back to 100% within between 1PM and 2PM daily. Then I have AC all during the night AND day. This is for my master bedroom only which is pretty big. It's like a MEAT locker in there in the summer! I stick it on 61 degrees and let it do its thing. That mini split never stops AND it never uses one bit of grid power and is running FULL blast ALL the time in the summer, day and night. The name of the mini split is called a, "Airspool Solar Hybrid AC Unit With Heat Pump" Yes, they are quite costly but you are totally staying away from the grid power. Yes, they also can provide heat too. My laser thermometer tells me that it pumps out between 112 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit of heat on full blast in the winter ONLY using solar power. They are listed on the web site at $1,400 each and they are VERY easy to install. You can find them at San Tan Solar dot com. You will have to do some digging to find them listed. Not too sure why they are hidden so deep in the site. NO, I'm not an employee NOR am I an affiliate. I just love spreading this bit of info. The sales shop is local for me so I just go and buy things from there when needed. I am no where near finished with my solar project but it's coming along nicely. I also have another Delta Pro and one battery that's for my refrigerator and small freezer and another Delta Pro and one battery for another hybrid mini split that's in my living room. I plan to get more batteries for the ones that only have one battery each. Yes, I'm trying to TOTALLY eliminate ALL of my grid powered Air Conditioners that using HUGE electricity that costs a LOT of $$$$$!!!
Love hearing about your set up. I live in Yuma and would love to get off grid. I am leaving for the summer and bought the wave 2 with one battery and a regular delta pro 1800. I ha e 500 wts of solar on the cargo trailer conversion and 400 ah of lifepro batteries and we run a regular 5000 btu ac in there. The wave will be used in the van for the dogs when they have to stay and for when camping and vehicle not running. I have 200 ah battery and 400 wts of solar on top. I have been looking into a minisplit for the park model I live in in Yuma. We get your same weather and less rain. I have been looking at a regular mini split. Didn't know about the hybrid. What is the difference if you don't mind explaining. I'm still learning all about this stuff and love the lowering g of prices as technology increases. I figure we live in the sunniest place on earth why not take advantage of the perks 😊
Plugging in and unplugging the batteries when the eb is plugged in and turned on isn’t a good idea. Plug everything in and then plug the delta pro into a/c and or solar to charge. As well the dp and EB’s will not turn off as long as it’s plugged into A/C or solar.
Great Video. Will be exciting to see if someone can pull off a comparison of the 240v portable systems such as the 240sp and Anker SOLIX F3800 and Inergy Flex P3.
then a 240 sp will run a 50 amp fifth wheel rv with 2 15000 ac's . I am purchasing a set of 20 caravan pac , tipa solar panels with a total of 900wp . you think that will do the job for full time off grid?
Hi! With the Titan 240SP, you can have up to 2400w of solar charging input! Using 900w of solar panels allows for many items to run at the same time. The Titan has a "Pass-Through" charging technology that will allow you to charge your batteries while you are using them. We do recommend having more than 2 batteries if you plan to be fully off-grid. The beauty is you can always add more solar and batteries as your needs grow. :)
@@wildoaktrail7532 " The Titan has a "Pass-Through" charging technology that will allow you to charge your batteries while you are using them " } **IF** either your load is < (less than) solar input, or your solar input is > (greater than) your loads .
Thank you! Let us know if you need help in securing yourself a Titan 240SP or a Titan Boost! :) You can also click here to check out the new Titan Kits that are currently at 20% wildoaktrail.com/collections/point-zero-energy-generators
@@wildoaktrail7532 Just purchased the Boost w/2 batteries, and Wild Oak Trail was a better deal than purchasing through Point Zero, so can't wait to receive them in (hopefully) December!
Not sure why people are going with LiPho batteries, Just having a pair of NMC is a huge weight tax as it is. You are almost just the same off going with LA batteries in that case.
LOL HOT in Canada? All those even thinking about getting rid of Fossil Fuels need to live a year where i'm at just south of Atlanta Georgia. The AC serves 2 purposes here & thats to remove Humidity from the home & cool the home. Relative Humidity here in Georgia during the summer is 80-99% & im with my AC unit I keep my Home 72-74F at 40-55% humidity so its sucking out a ton of moisture. So much moisture is being removed during the summer that you have to make sure you have good drainage on the system. The bad thing about cooling is there's no alternative to Fossil Fuels like there is with Heating. In the Winter you can burn wood in a fireplace or stove to stay warm but there's no such alternative for cooling.
Thanks for the video but I think that it would be more interesting to see how the expansion battery charges the Ecoflow Pro.. I can't seem to find a video on this as I am wonder if I should just buy a 48v rack battery for less than half the price of the expansion battery.
No doubt that this system will power your ac. but the real, and most important, question is for how long? 2-7 hours? And will it solar-charge completely during the next daylight?
