Yea technically Ecoflow is the leader in portable power stations at the moment with crazy features and accessories. So you are going to pay more. Are they perfect ? No but I don’t know of a company or product that is. But it’s so much better than DP and that was a work horse!!! If you are ever in Far nor Cal I could use your detailing services 👍🏼😂👊🏼

It can but barely also using xboost, but honestly that’s not what it’s for. So I dont recommend it because you are maxing it out. Well pump yes but also depends on the size of the pump. Many different units with different power draws you would would have to see how much your unit draws

Great review, thank you. I hear what you are saying about the 240v in, but no front ports use. I would rather the setup be as it is where if you are doing 120v, you get the 120v and 240v (albeit it at a cost of battery base charge). I think most folks have 120v generators that are only 120V capable. But as you said, perhaps a firmware update can make this selectable.

You can use both 120 or 240 while charging with 120 volts but can’t use 120 and 240 at same time. 240 volt charging disables both

I am in the research stage of planning our full time Rv as retirement looms. I have been comparing the ecoflow (1/2 the cost) of traditional Victron system. I have watched many of your videos. I’m leaving toward the DP3 with extra battery and the smart generator. My home already solar powered but it feeds to the grid. So I will have to do the research on how to adapt it to our home, when not rving. I am disabled, so I’m limited to doing a traditional solar install on RV. I was going the RV comes with 600 watts from factory with upgrades up to 1000 so that part will be run for me. My research installing a manual transfer switch seems to be the best best in the Rv. Since I will be using the Ecoflow DP3 at my home also. Any suggestions about integrating it to the RV? I watched your videos on your Rv system. As always I love the informative videos you produce!

@johnnysweekends

Ай бұрын

If buying a new rv try to have two roof top inlets down to a breaker or disconnect and then that’s it. Don’t use there junk if possible unless it’s two late. The Gopower is so over priced for what ya get. What you want is the power feeding down to the disconnects so you can then use the solar to what ever system you desire. Not what they build Then from there you can plug right into DP3 or any other system of your choice to charge batteries or Ecoflow or what ever. Verses if they build a whole system is can be a little difficult sometimes to grab the solar and run it to where you want

Will this unit operate in UPS mode? Meaning, will it power up automatically when input power is restored from a dead state?

@johnnysweekends

It does have ups mode at 10ms switch over. So if plugged into grid power you would have this plugged into the device and if grid power goes down it swaps from pass through to battery automatically

@FLyAgaric421

Yes, it will do that. You can set it to “AC always on” and then in the event that power is lost and the battery is totally depleted.. when power is restored the inverter kicks back on a power to whatever you have plugged into it will be restored as well.

In your smart generator 4000 review, please compare fuel consumption to the current smart generator model. Thanks for the great content.

The DPU is an entirely different unit and really suited for home back up and not so much a portable unit. The new and old smart gen does not work with DPU unless they come up with an adapter soon. Will see. The new smart gen is not really even out so not sure how people are getting data with DP3 or anything else.

The only problem I have is the amount of solar I can add to this. For this price I should be able to have one port where I could add up to 500v. I live in the north so I need a much larger array. I will also never buy proprietary second batteries. They should fully support regular 51.2v batteries I could just buy off amazon and have it work in tandem with the battery inside the system.

Can you hook up the Smart Battery (the previous model for the Delta Pro)?

Ай бұрын

You keep and still use your DPs… unless you wanna upgrade like a phone. Nothing wrong with the DP. DP is proven

I think the only thing left to really criticize the Delta Pro series now is how the extra batteries don't really have any other function other than supply power to the main unit. It would be ideal for the extra battery to either allow you to plug in the gas generator OR allow other batteries to be plugged into it to daisy chain more batteries, it would help out on losing capacity to the gas generator or something (though I guess you'd just want to get the DPU at this point). Also would be nice to get more amps out of the 240v port AND be able to use the 120v outlets at the same time. Still, for a first time buyer that's willing to spend the money and have something that's still portable, DP3 looks REALLY impressive. Makes me wish it was out when we were looking at the original Delta Pro, but technology always gets better. Grass is always green, etc etc etc. Def not worth us upgrading.

@@johnnysweekends YUP That's always been the big drawback. When I was first looking into the Ecoflow Delta Pro, I had it in my head that we could take the extra battery and bring it to a generator to charge it then bring it back to the main unit to keep it going. Happy I realized that wasn't the case before we bought it but I just wish there was more you could do with them. I really like that the Ultra lets you daisy-chain them to expand cause that's the most elegant way to do it.

Just a heads up for anyone thinking about buying an Ecoflow power station. If they are out of an item, their website will not state this. Therefore, they will take your money for something they don't even have in stock. I ordered a River 2/panel combo for my daughter. The panel was shipped, but the not the River2. I had to email them to find out what is going on with the River2. That's when they informed me that they won't have any until the end of July.

Would love to own these new units but they are all way over prices and way too much hype. My delta pro and two extra batteries have never held up to all the hype. I'm sure these new units are just as hyped and most likely will not last as long as they state. But I would still like to trade my units for the new ultra as it is more storage friendly. My delta pro and the extra battery connector are horrible. You have to have at least four or five feet to store the pros so you do not bend the battery cables.
