Just completed the break-in period and so far the unit is operating perfectly ru-vid.comUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y . I was amazed by just how quiet this little guy is. I kept having to walk down the driveway to the generator to make sure it was still running. In fact, the most annoying noise coming from the set-up is a high-pitched chirping coming from the pressure regulator on the propane line. I suppose it's possible my other propane-powered generator's pressure regulator is making the same noise, but the generator itself is so loud I've never noticed it. Build quality so far is excellent. My only nit is the service panel is a little tricky to remove. I feel like I might break off one of the plastic tabs when bending it back. I probably just need to work out the technique, so will not hold it against Champion.Next week I intend to fully load the unit to charge a large battery pack and will update this review if there's any problem (3000W continuous load vs a rated 3100W capacity while using propane). Absent any trouble there, I'm 100% pleased with this purchase.

I see so many elderly folks in my neighborhood getting Generac gas/propane whole-house backups installed. They want the peace of mind and they have the money. They are paying 8K-11K once the generators are in (they wait for MONTHS!) and then have an annual checkup fee of a couple hundred bucks to check the oil and so forth. This ECOFLOW level of technology is going to be the NEW way to do whole-house backups for sure.

@TheSulross 2 года назад

I built a system roughly 10 years ago using a bank of those big lead acid batteries - about 8 of them - they're huge and sit in their own container and are hooked into a Trace inverter - if the inverter senses the utility power dropping off it will automatically switch to the batteries (and it keeps the batteries charged when their is grid power). This system works great and will even keep desktop computers from rebooting when it switches to batteries). But even though only crucial house circuits are backed by this, it will only run things for a matter of hours - out central heating system has an electric blower fan). Naturally most of our power outages are in the winter on occasions with heavy snow fall - branches start breaking off of trees and bring down power lines. The outages can be so wide spread that it can take days for the utility company to repair all the disruptions. We will typically have live on backup power for several days - maybe up to 5 to 7 days. Needless to say, even with this really slick battery backed system, we still have a gasoline-powered generator. If can only afford one backup system - get a gas or propane (or natural gas) backup generator - you don't want to gamble that power will be down for just hours vs days.

@mac11380 2 года назад

It wouldn't be cheap, but if you swapped out the lead acid for LiFePO4 batteries, it would have a lot more power.

@timandnatd 3 года назад

It was charging at ~2,600 watts on the EV charge station instead of 3,000 watts because public chargers operate on single phrase commercial lines instead of split phase. At home, if your use your EVSE on Split Phase, you are getting 240 volts at 12.5 amps. When you go to a commercial single phase, it’s at 208 volts at the same 12.5 amps. So that will give you a little less power since the voltage is lower.

Probably.

He ran it for 3 days that way on 3 gallons of gas used, not the 4-5 gallons per DAY of most gas generators

@KeeperOfTheSevenKeys. 3 года назад

Yeah, it was looking surprisingly good for my expectations of a battery unit...until he mentioned the 2.7 hour charge time on a 110v outlet lol. It's only 3.6KWh so yeah you get twice the power output of a generator and can link them up, but you burn through that juice quick and then... you need to plug in again. Now sure if you're not using powerhog utilities you can use that for a weekend of camping or something, but as a backup for your house? Ford's upcoming F-150 EV is a much more practical backup battery pack for your house at well over 30x that size. On the topic of this battery vs a "generator" you can however, provided you currently have sun, charge it via the solar panels which is certainly more free than acquiring extra gas during an emergency, but won't be fast and may not be practical in some circumstances. I can certainly see this being viable for a lot of applications if it was a bit larger but I wouldn't bet on it in a disaster situation unless you can scale a lot of them with a lot of solar panels and that isn't the most realistic bet let alone cost efficiency.

@josephdebes3060 2 года назад

Evoflow is coming out with a top up gas generator that can be set for auto on (say when the batteries have dropped to 20%) and the auto off (say when batteries are 50-80% charged : your choice by software) and their generator can be used as a regular generator if you chose, but it only runs for a few hours. However that model is still in Kickstarter mode at the moment as they are rolling out the Delta Pro and putting the standard Delta on sale, so you can’t buy it outright now. Another downside of the generator is that to charge the Pro, it will take up one of the extra battery plugs in the back, so you could only get 1 external extender battery connected at any given time. Also reviewers are clamoring for a propane dual fuel version of the generator, since propane stores much longer than gas and you don’t have to keep adding stabilizer like you do with stored gasoline. Hope Ecoflow is listening!

I bought one of the early EFDETLA’s (Cell Type 18650 Lithium Ion). Cons: Life Span = only 60% after 800 charge cycles. Reading right from the manual it claims 1800W (Surge 3300W); however I connected a 1500W ceramic heater and the EFDELTA would trip (using it for this heater was one of the reasons I purchased it). Pros: it does charge quickly from solar panels (another big reason I bought it); I tested this with (4) 120W foldable solar panels I bought for it. Compared to a generator it is very quiet. And other pros mentioned in the video. So I was disappointed it did not meet all the specs they claimed, I kept it because of the charge time and being able to charge and run devices at the same time (note: it will trip on over temperature if load is too much; which is a good thing, so strongly recommend keeping out of sun for best performance). I would also ask if batteries are replaceable. Mine is not, but maybe they’ve made this improvement.

My July 2021 Delta now has 80% after 800 charge cycles in their new manuals. I use it as a continuous back up for my 10+ year old freezer and I standard side by side home fridge. Have not tried large wattage heater, but even if it runs, the battery would be depleted in about 1 hour (probably much longer with a PRO model). For heat and longer cooking, I would probably have a propane /butane camp stove and a propane camping heater like “Mr Heater” with an automatic cut off oxygen sensor for indoor use. High wattage heat producing appliances eat up solar battery power VERY quickly. Good to have an alternative source and leave the solar for freezers/fridges/electronic charging/ medical equipment (test that first)/ and maybe some lights, although you can get multiple self charging solar lights and not use precious central home battery power

I really like this unit as a potential way to power my fishing cabin and potentially being able to power the window air conditioner and the mini refrigerator ..... along with a few lights. Not sure if solar panels would keep the batteries topped off though, especially in winter. The portable panels are good for mobility but I would prefer fixed panels that can live outdoors for home use. Either that or have one of these and a small gas generator that could charge the Batteries and then shut down to conserve fuel. In extended power outages, fuel can be difficult to find .... after a major storm for example. I feel like a decent size propane tank and propane generator and solar and the Ecoflow Pro might be able to keep essential things working for a long time. Is it possible to expand the battery storage with a couple external Lithium phosphate batteries similar to Battle Born for example? Inergy has the expansion option but not the phosphate chemistry that offers several thousand charge cycles. I would prefer a drop in storage area so that batteries could be replaced and also expanded. It’s difficult to know if a built in unit is worth the price .... or if the portable units are reliable and robust enough to keep food from spoiling and keep the air conditioner running...... this one looks like it might work if there was a fuel based mini generator also on hand to bump the charge back up to approximately 80 pct in the night.

I fully understand the capabilities of this system along with the installation in any application you could possibly think of. If you didn't know, the batteries in question look somewhat like the Delta Pro units except they have no inverter built into them. You can hook up 2 Delta Pro Smart Batteries to each Delta Pro unit, I was on the fence about purchasing 4 of these batteries, but in my application, I only need 2 of them for the 14.4kWh 240v system I desire. What makes the Ecoflow system so unique is the fact that it's so versatile and expandable.

@SilverCymbal 3 года назад

It would be great if all of these cost less but you have some advantages you don't with gas. With gas you always have to put the 240v outlet outside, that gets expensive for install. You really need the runtime of two units for bigger 240v stuff. With it inside the house the outlet can be placed next to the panel. there is no maintenance, no noise, no one knows you have a generator in a crisis. Not saying it's cheap but it has some benefits.

@ronrandquist7762 2 года назад

@@nagazinafireworks7594 It depends on how many watts your house is drawing. But it is easy to calculate the approximate run time. The main unit has 3600 Watt hour (Wh) capacity so if your house is drawing 3600 watts you can run it for 1 hour. In the Video when he ran the dryer he said it can pull over 5000 Watts. Then he shows the display and one is outputting 3700 watts and the other about 2800, so in total he was drawing about 6500 watts. With both units (3600 Wh x 2 = 7200 Wh) he can run that load for about 1.1 hours (7200Wh/6500W = 1.1h). Not a long time, however, in an actual power outage, you would flip over to the backup (Battery or Generator) and likely turn off a lot of your other breakers so you are only powering the things that are essential. I have a Sense energy monitory in my home panel so I know that my house averages 1893 watts under normal use. This means that the 7200Wh could run my house for less than 4 hours. But if I'm in a power outage situation I'm not going to be running all the things. I'll pick and choose. I'm sure that when you are running your house on generator for 12 hours, you are likely doing loads of laundry.

@kings17court Год назад

@@ronrandquist7762 Yes, Sir. Very smart and practical reply. There is a difference between running your house normally, vs running your house in an emergency situation. In an emergency situation I would use the generator to charge the Delta Pros during the day, which shouldn't take more than 3 hours. While using the Delta Pros for power, I would conserve where possible, and pick and choose what I actually needed. I would use a small fraction of the gas necessary to provide power for an extended 7 to 10 day power outage. Plus I would have completely silent nights. At night I think 2 Delta Pros would power my fridge, small box freezer, and a small 5,000 btu AC for one of the small bedrooms all through the night.

The term "generator" is loosely applied here. Battery power is expensive. These run $3600 each. For 240v, you'll neet two. The biggest advantage of these is they are portable, quiet and almost maintenance free. A disadvantage is limited run time with extended power outages unless you have expensive solar panels ($400 per 160watts). A fixed base 24kw standby gas generator can be had for about $6000 but requires regular maintenance. It's anyone's call. If I were going to power my home, I'd go with a gas generator. If I had to evacuate, battery powered sources might be an advantage.

Lithium Ion battery cycles given a certain chemistry have well known quantities of discharge cycles at this point. None of this information is new. That generally runs around 4000 cycles before the battery becomes somewhat degraded. Yes you're paying more than a typical gas generator, but you're also gaining capabilities. Battery Inverter generators efficiently store all generated power, gas generators end up wasting most of the power produced. Gas generators only work if fuel is available, battery inverter chargers with connected solar work anytime the sun is available. Battery Inverter chargers provide clean, usable power for electronics. Most gas generators do not and will eventually ruin electrical motors. My ideal scenario as a Floridian is having both on hand. I have all the benefits of each with very few disadvantages.
