I chose the delta pro ultra for the following reasons. It does 240 volt while being charged off a nice quite 120 volt generator. It also has a lot more solar options. Mine is currently maxed out with 14 400 watt panels. I love how nicely to battery’s stack. And the inverter is huge with a massive surge capacity and completely silent.

@Jasonoid 6 месяцев назад

Every Anker portable battery I’ve ever had has been phenomenal. Don’t touch it for months ? Holds a full charge !

@johnnysweekends 6 месяцев назад

They make quality products for sure. I have no doubt this will serve many people’s needs especially as a system. For stand alone it’s a little tough with the low input voltage. Can still do it but just need to watch voltage 👍🏼

@captmichel8035 6 месяцев назад

That’s awesome to DC and AC charge But but the big one update would be to be able to use 240v while charging 120v That’s a big one in my book Thanks for another great video you do it clear direct and easy to understand and bring important points!😊

@johnnysweekends 6 месяцев назад

It would be awesome if that can be fixed in firmware but I don’t know if it can. And thank you. Appreciate the feedback back 😀👊🏼

@PhongNguyen-ov7jq 28 дней назад

It's never going to happen, even with a firmware update because the AC charging takes away 1 of the 2 DC to AC inverters inside and revert it into an AC to DC inverter. A workaround would be to buy an AC to DC switching power supply rated for 60V 25A 1500W to charge into DC in order to be able to use the 240V. You'll probably suffer a high inefficiency loss though (maybe 30-35% loss), but at least that's an option for a workaround.

@gjonr144 6 месяцев назад

The 240 volt output is great but 60 volt PV input limit is a deal breaker for me. I was all in until you pointed that out. Thanks for the info.

@johnnysweekends 6 месяцев назад

Your welcome. Yes it was kind of a bummer. Wish companies would ask what some of testers get for feed back and also what we have experience in. They make it so you have to buy the panels they have which is super expensive and just not even worth it.

@SaabAholic 6 месяцев назад

I do not regret buying the Ecoflow Delta Pro. It’s gonna do the job that I need. BUT, that Anker would be great to have. I’ll be camping a lot with my Ecoflow DP and my Predator 2000 this year. I’ll see how it goes before I step up to the next level. Good info!

@jimjr9143 Месяц назад

The 60v limit points to using a really cheap controller. If you see the 400 watt panel . The missing stand . You start to see where short cuts have been made . If you can see these obvious short cuts where else are they made ? Cheap internals ?

@jaysonstebbins2539 6 месяцев назад

I love Anker's products but 32v 10a and 60v 25a for solar is REALLY hard to do. Yes you can always overpanel amp wise but man that's rough. I thought staying under 150 -10% ... 135v was hard enough lol. I have 18x100 watt panels 6S3P on my delta pro and for 3 hours here in East Tennessee I get the full 1600 watts. I was hoping the solix was gonna have 2 inputs but those voltages are kinda crappy. ThankS for the video!

@johnnysweekends 6 месяцев назад

Yea both solar inputs are the same. But yea wished it had a higher input voltage it definitely would make building your array simpler.

@Chambersdn24 6 месяцев назад

Nice .... You are correct people keep comparing the pro ultra with Anker. All I can say is Eco flow need to sort out them self and update the pro so it can be more competitive. Also I keep reading comments about ecoflow customer support and it doesn't look so good I want to invest in one of these devices but based on what I am seeing I may have to go with Anker plus there units look better 😅. Don't get me wrong like ecoflow especially the portable AC unit that's why I was thinking about getting the ecoflow unit with the max 2 anyways good stuff I always look forward to your content. Blessings man

@johnnysweekends 6 месяцев назад

Interesting, yea I keep hearing a couple more problems with Ecoflow and customer service which I hope doesn’t become consistent. I know the face book group seems really responsive. But yea thanks for the feedback back. And yea before I finished this video I did some digging again on Anker and there customer support and they definitely seemed to be a little ahead of a couple others. Bluetti especially…. I keep hearing bad support from them which is a shame. No company is perfect but they have slipped a little, hopefully Ecoflow doesn’t follow as well. Thanks for the feedback back 💪🏼👍🏼😀

@atlsoutherndog Месяц назад

Good video, but the Anker F3800 system is decent, but they essentially have no customer service. Each call or chat takes hours and each response it automatic and says they will reply in 2 days... even for the most basic questions. So unless you're a solar expert, don't count on ANKER for any help unless you have a ton of patience.

Interesting, thanks for the feedback! 👍🏼

I’d go with Anker, Ecoflow’s customer service absolutely sucks! They refuse to provide a box to return my Delta Pro so they don’t have to provide my warranty.

Delta pro 3 as it has a 4000 watt hour battery verses 3800. Plus big discounts on DP3 right now and I also have an extra 7% off. EcoFlow is doing full prime day deals on the website till end of July.

@shelley131 4 месяца назад

Just saw your video and subscribed. Do you know if this unit has EPS or UPS without without installing the smart home power kit? I mainly want to use it for when I am out of town and connect my fridge to it in case power goes out. Enjoyed your video.

@johnnysweekends 4 месяца назад

Yessss!!. In the video where I explain the power outlets and how when switching from charging from AC you loose 240v function and only those few slots stay powered. Those are the EPS functions with a 20ms or less cutover. So you could do exactly that. Leave it plugged into power and plug fridge into it. Then it will bypass the power from the main unit to the fridge and if power goes out then the Anker automatically provides power to the fridge. If power comes back on Anker starts charging. 😀👍🏼

@viper04af 8 дней назад

I want to use this as a UPS, If the drain is complete, will the ports turn on when the power comes back ¿ I know the lower models do not for. Anker

@johndoe3485 2 месяца назад

Bro, this is rocket scientist. What anker is best for a layman who knows nothing, that can keep a 120v refrigerator running for 2 days? And my only issue if there is a Anker that meets my conditions. My issue is for recharging with solar. Is all the cables they give for this, is to nice and long so u can keep anker inside home in shade and have wires go like 100 feet or whatever to backyard to charge? Because the problem i see and that annoys me is it seems like u have to keep Anker like 1 or 2 feet from solar panels, and this to me means the heat and sun where i live with 100 degree heat daily and 100% humidity i feel will completely destroy this thing, plus it rains, is this anker water proof? Probably not, so i can only get this IF it comes with or Anker sales long solar charge cables. But i assume they dont. So this is why i cant pull the trigger

@chancejensen9324 5 месяцев назад

Do you use any of the DPU, DP, or Anker Solix to help supplement your Enphase 10s? Just curious if there's a work around that you use. I have an Enphase 10T as well.

@johnnysweekends 5 месяцев назад

Hello, im currently using the DPU to load shed. It has been running pretty much non stop after the video review and setup. I now am using two batteries. Now I dont have Enphase at my house only the shop and my father in law has them and his business partner. But you would need a separate critical loads panel to branch off. Im just using a 6 circuit to run my everyday higher use loads. Washing machine Blower for heat and AC Fridge and some outlets in kitchen, air fryer, coffee maker. All the garage And dishwasher. I also have grid tied solar as well with Enphase micro inverters. But being on NEM 2 I cant modify so ill be adding a DC section of solar to DPU soon. This will eventually allow me to expand as Ill over panel for now. And then a plug in hybrid will make its way soon as we will be due for a car. And most are driving is less than 25 miles a day. I dont recommend the smart home panel. So EcoFlow DPU on its own to load shed or back power or a server rack type setup.

@jacobherrera9 6 месяцев назад

@johnnysweekends 2 месяца назад

Thank you. You can use what ever solar panels you want. But the problem is the low solar input can be difficult with some arrays so have to make sure you stay under the 60v limit for solar input

@Kingofwraps 2 месяца назад

Hello there! This machine has a cell capacity of 3840 Wh. On the manual they say: “AC output 1 is 13A Max and AC output 2 is 16A Max.” Please help! Does this mean I cannot use the entire 3840 watts from the same output? I am confused 😮 😅

@johnnysweekends 2 месяца назад

You have 3840 watt hours of power. You have a total of 6000 watts from the inverter. If you draw 3840 watts in one hour the battery is dead. But no power station provides 100% of the battery as there is conversion loss from DC to AC

@Kingofwraps 2 месяца назад

@@johnnysweekends thank you so much! I was worried that the AC output port allows only a maximum of 2000 watts for example… but now I understand from what you explained that I can plug it to my home system and use all 3840 watts (but definitely not going to use all the watts in one hour) thanks again!
