But what can it power? Today, we are finding out! It let us down in a few areas that we didn't think it would.. but all in all, it performed pretty well & we would always recommend this until! All power stations have their own issues, nothing is perfect. But the Delta Pro Ultra comes pretty damn close! ⚡ FOLLOW US: instagram.com/thesolarlab/ www.tiktok.com/@thesolarlab 👨🏼‍💻 The Solar Lab: www.thesolarlab.com We maintain an affiliate relationship with some of the products reviewed, which means we get a small percentage of a sale if you click our links, at no cost to our viewers.

I would verify that X-Boost was NOT enabled. X-Boost allows increased wattage by lowering the voltage. Which could explain the weird issues with things not working well. Which things that are voltage sensitive, i.e., the compressor/car lift would struggle if their electric motors aren't getting the correct voltage. According to Ecoflow, X-Boost is enabled by default in their products. Which would also explain why it was running the like 8400w load for as long as it did before you added another like 800w, and then it shut off.

Costco has deals on this including one with 3 batteries and the panel for $10k

Ask EcoFlow for their comments. It is supposed to handle up to 120 LRA

It might be worth contacting EcoFlow to see about getting another unit in case there is something wrong with your unit. EcoFlow: We are awaiting your response.

Very much appreciate your ongoing review of this system. I purchased a unit with two batteries and have been running tests to charge our EV using the pass thru (w/solar). Generated 24kWh yesterday for a 30% charge to the car using the 30a outlet. Didn’t realize I couldn’t use that outlet with the other charging options. Also ran into an error when using the high PV input giving me a 479 error code. Seemed to be related to a quick drop in light intensity. I could turn off the solar inputs and restart to restart charging, but obviously not ideal. Reached out to EF and they told me to send the unit back. Reached out to the vendor where I purchased and they found info that the issue was resolved with a firmware update. I had to wait a few days (unsure why) for the firmware update to appear in my app, but so far that has resolved the error code. Seems like there are still bugs to be sorted out, but overall happy with the setup and flexibility.

Will Prowse also often had problems starting his car lift when testing power stations and inverters. I think car lifts have a much greater surge than people think.

The test i'd love is see which units support AC charging with solar bypass. Because I'd like to have a battery permanently plugged through a transfer switch to a couple of Ciscuit at my house and take advantage of solar. This way would be plug and play vs a traditional full solar system. The eg4 3000 (and most hybrid inverters) supports this, but none of the portable ones do.

The specified capacity of the battery is 6144Wh. This would change your calculations slightly.

Oooh nice would loved to have seen airconditioner

Try 2 units with the 50 Amp output. It will run everything 👍 Excellent presentation and review...

First time searching this topic then found the video

Wow! The ultra did great for me, but can you guys try out the Etaker M2000? I would like to see the results of that unit

I would like to see the Oupes Mega 5 tested in this same manner. Thanks in advance.

Well most people dont have a car lift so its a good unit for normal households . :)

There was the compressor!! Well once anyhow 😂

I wonder was xboost on?

Is there a separate plug/cord for the high voltage PV?

What do you gain (or loose) when you go to the pro 3?

My guess is they oversize the battery and then the charging process and and the inverter are about 90% efficient and that would make sense of your 7.25 ohh kilowatts at the outlet. Is this is what they did I mean kudos to them 90% efficiency is really really good anyway. I'm wondering if if there is a way to check the capacity of the battery or would it only work with the ecoflow unit. Thanks for the video

One thing I’ve learned with this battery power station is that they are for low wattage usage or short term emergency situations…. Good product if you know when n how to use it correctly.

What is the LRA of the lift? Strange that the F3800 could do this but the Ultra could not. Have you reached out to EcoFlow?

I want to run three laptops and two tv's and a 120 v well pump when power out goes out What Ecoflow should i get?Thanks

Did you test how much charge it loses with no draw? 15% each day …

6:37 what adapter are you using to hook it up to the stove?

To run inductive loads like table saws, pumps (esp. well pumps) and your car lift, the inverter generally needs to be an LF inverter (low frequency) - they use heavy iron-core transformers to absorb surge. Most of these "power station" units use HF or high frequency inverters which are very sensitive to inductive loads and surges they produce, but they're cheap to make and they're very efficient. LF inverters are heavy and not very efficient... but they can handle inductive loads very well. What's probably going on here is that ecoflow is putting a little toroidal transformer in the inverter circuit and over selling its inductive load surge capacity - or your car lift surges (even just for the briefest micro second) passed the surge advertised capacity.

Inductive loads vs resistive loads. HUGE difference for an inverter / vastly different power factors. Example, a 2000w inverter can produce 2000W with a power factor of 1 and a resistive load. Move to an inductive load such as motors, shop equipment and such with a power factor of say .5 and the inverter would only be able to support say 800w under those conditions. Pretty normal. Very good to know the 240 out shuts down when charging. Deal killer for me. That is DUMB.

Concerning pass through: if you are connected to a generator to recharge battery/run devices, the 30 amp plug doesn't work/support? Thank you.

Can this charge my rivian r1t?

How'd the 3800 do in the home? Is it better with surges and the pro inside the home? Or is the 3800 better all the way around, more or less?

So it doesn’t have pass through charging????

Will it start an AC

Will you come back to cars

I really think car lift is an unfair load to the Power Station.
