Most comprehensive and easy to understand vehicle/RV review for charge/storage applications and capabilities anywhere, full stop. Purchased based on Tom's review, works fantastic! This setup will disrupt industry - professional material/labor install co$t$ or DIY! Just get it.

This device goes a long way towards redeeming EF in my eyes. I broke down and got the Wave 2 with battery and the Delta 2 with battery a year or so ago, and this DC charger makes them so much more usable. Thanks to your code and the sale, I went overboard and got a Delta 2 Max and a second Wave 2 with battery plus the DC charger, free solar panel and some other accessories. If you buy over $2k you get 12% off plus your discount on everything but the already steal of a deal on the Wave 2 with battery which is $1200 for a limited time. Given the new round of tariffs set to take effect in less than 90 days, I would grab what you can now. Thanks Hobotech!

I can't get over how quiet EcoFlow was about this release. I get it, though. They recently dropped a new "flagship" product, so they problem didn't think this would be a major blip on the radar. Oh, how wrong they were! I hate inflammatory adjectives (however, I used one), but this is nothing short of revolutionary! I wasn't planning on using this even though I saw a lot of potential with it. MUCH MORE TO THIS THAN MEETS THE EYE! Thanks, Professor.

I appreciate your demystifying this device! I especially like your descriptions of the possible use cases. It has been confusing trying to figure it all out without having an alternator charger in hand and not knowing how various voltages trigger different system behaviors.

Thank you!!! I just purchased the package and saved a bunch with your discount code for the unit, 800 watt charger and free solar panel and free shipping to boot all under $1000.00!!!! GREAT BIG HUG FORM THIS PREPPER TO YOU!! THANKS AGAIN SIR.

I love that Eco flow is continuing to expand their already impressive ecosystem. I love when you can add really useful functionality to products you already own with new accessories. Really glad I went with the Delta 2 now.

I'm totally installing this thing in my next vehicle. I love that you only have to plug into the battery port on the eco flow, it integrates so well with the vehicle power but it's also easy to just remove the power station for security or convenience. Its a way to charge the eco flow and a way to feed your vehicle power from the eco flow too!

Your review convinced me to pull the trigger on this invertor! Thank you very much for the perfect review!

EXCELLENT review! You also got me to take another look, re-assess my needs, then pull the trigger on this one. Will keep mine semi-portable for use in and out of the vehicles. Thank you HOBOTECH, until you are better paid.

I have an eco flow river max and we just got a 12-24 volt inline converter. I wired from my 12v switch panel to the converter then out to the ecoflow river max. It has worked great and is sort of a small scale version of this setup.

Thanks! I just purchased bundle: Delta 2, charger, solar panel ... used your discount code!! I have Delta Max 2000 (NCM) which maybe I will sell ??? Also have River 2 Pro, Wave2 and 1 and Glacier fridge: I am team EcoFlow. I live rurally, have an RV and Jeep and all this power is transportable ... the alternator charger is a definite super enhancement for me. Thanks Professor!! I am sure that I would not have realized all without this video.

Thank you. you had gave me a lot information on the product that I couldn't get from the other KZreadrs.

I saw this product release initially and honestly didn't give it a 2nd thought because I mostly run off solo on my camper set up, but you've really opened my eyes how potentially versatile this could be and the endless set up configurations and use cases it allows. Very cool.

I referred my brother to this video and he bought the max2 combo. I hope you're getting a commission. :-)

Thanks for this video. I had been looking at this product but couldn't figure out what it really did

What an innovative product. Thank you for showcasing it for us Professor!

I love your videos. I wish this could handle non-Ecoflow setups. When I built my power backup for my house, I stuck to a 12 volt system so it could be recharged from my alternator. I just didn't see any 12v-->48v chargers I would trust. If you have a way to use this with other LiFePO4 batteries, I would be interested in how it's done. One of the concerns I have is with drawing 800 watts/ ~60 amps from an alternator for an extended period. I have one car with a 140 amp alternator that would be fine, but my little Honda's alternator is only 70 amps and, from what I've seen online, would probably fry fairly quickly at idle if I pulled 60 continuous amps. I know you can adjust the charge rate in the Delta, but it would have been nice to include a little info about where to set it in comparison to the alternator output. 40% - 50%?

I just picked up what I think is a great deal on Ecoflow’s web site. Many deals, but I chose the Alternator charger/combo with a Delta 2, plus they throw in a 110watt portable solar panel for under 1000. I also used a $25 coupon offered at checkout. Anyway…I was really impressed with this review…it just goes to show that although solar and wind are a great source, there will always be a need for internal combustion, and this new product as simple as it is, really fills a need for when the SHTF.

I was prepared to be unimpressed with this product, but it's really much more than your normal DC-DC charger. It's a genuinely "smart" buck/boost converter, giving you a lot more options and versatility. I'm not a fan of proprietary tech but for anyone already invested in the EF ecosystem, it makes a lot of sense.

Once I started getting into power stations, nowhere has enough sockets! I found a cheap 300w/300wh lightweight one with li-ion and a pure sine, which is now basically an accessory for the vacuum cleaner. Why plug and unplug it constantly? The power comes with me!

Thank God, you mentioned tank

Good to see you here, Jasonoid!

Would you be able to cut those six gauge wires that go to the battery and install Anderson connectors so I could use it to connect a truck camper? So I would be able to disconnect the camper when I take it off the truck.

Thinking the best way would be to have a 120a Anderson on my car battery (luckily under drivers seat) and RV battery and then an Anderson on the Alt Charger. Would make switching between the two easier.

I hope BLUETTI comes out with something like this

Thank’s I am going to order one😎☮️👍

Would it work the same if you connect from car battery directly to the solar input? Make up some custom plugs. Or would the 14v from car be a problem?

Why would you select this over other DC/DC solutions if you’re just getting started with car camping? Cost? Compatibility? No solar required?

I drive a semi and bought this with the delta 2 max and wave 2 so I don't have to idle the truck but don't have the new charger yet (supposed to ship this month - may) so I have been charging through a power inverter which pulls like 45-50 amps with the delta on slow charge.... hoping it doesn't load the alternator so hard with the new gizmo when I get it !

I Have an Oupes mega 2. How can I use this to charge it? If there is a way, you would know. Can I use Anderson connectors?

Question for you: First off I love your videos. have bought several Eco flow batteries when you started making videos on them a while back. sad to see i invested so much on Eco flow Max 1600 (x3) and not the Delta Max versions. i guess i can only get 500-800 charging cycles instead of 35,000 or so which is a crazy number. My question is, couldn't I just use a standard power inverter for my car. I own an older Black and Decker 800W power inverter that has alligator style clamps for battery connections and (2) 3 pronged outlets. I would imagine not being able to charge as fast but could i use that? If there are any cheaper alternatives to this system i would love to learn about it. We would love if you could make a video on cheaper solutions to charge rapidly via car alternator/battery power. Thanks for all you do!

What about the generators that have the 12v plugs on the side? Or can I cannot this to the smaller batteries my generator uses as it's starter battery?

You gave very good reviews on the Delta II...do you no longer recommend it?

I can do that with my integrated power inverter 400w in the Ford Bronco Sport Badlands (Ac to Dc) and i have a Noco 12A 10A to charge any type of battery (lead acid, lithium, agm 12v and 6v battery) that i plug on an ac port of the bluetti ac 200L or jackery 10000, Combined with my 420w bluetti portable panel, it is great. I have also a more powerful Rowpow Ac to dc 12v plug converter which delivers 200w to run more powerful compressors. The 12v plug in those powerstation bluetti, ecoflow, jackery..are limited to around 120w max, which is not enough for powerful 12v tools.

I just purchased a Renogy 50amp dc to dc charger and was planning on using a 200ah lithium battery as a house battery and an AMG as a starter battery. Please explain why I would want this setup over the one I was planning on. The only difference that I can see an inverter with the Ecoflow. I don't plan on using a lot of 120v items, if any. I'm trying to understand if there's a benefit to this.

Also, let's say my car battery goes flat at 11.2v, approx how much % of the delta 2 should I 'reserve' as emergency? is the reverse an instantaneous jump start or i will be waiting some time for the AGM car battery to have enough current to turn the starter? thank you for the technical help

I am an engineer who bought my first Prius in 2000, and currently camp in a 2017 Prius Prime. The rule of thumb accepted by most folks on PriusChat is to never try pulling over 1000W from the 12V system of a Toyota hybrid, such as with an inverter. My own additional rule is to not pull over 600W for extended periods of time, say over a half hour. Pulling 800W, this should work, but bear in mind that if you do burn up the car's own DC-DC converter which it has instead of a conventional spinning alternator, your car repair bill will be much, much higher than replacing an alternator in a 1994 Dodge. Personally, I'm sticking with my 600W additional load rule keeping it under 50A, because of how many other electrical loads these cars have, rather than stuff powered by belts and spinning stuff. I've never bothered completely figuring out which stuff is powered off 12V vs off the high voltage battery directly versus off maybe additional DC-DC converters to different voltages. The most powerful DC-DC converter I'd use in a Toyota hybrid is the Kisae DMT-1250. 50A, and can be set down to I think any other level in 5A increments. My own DC-DC is the Kisae DMT-1230. 30A, can be set down to other levels but not all of them. I paid $130, though its price often scoots up in the $250-$300 range. Currently $145 with one left. A final thing to consider, is that I always sleep with the car on for climate control, so even just using 10A through the cigarette lighter 12V port into something like the $50 Bestek 300W pure sine inverter (but using it as 120W when in the 12V port rather than hard wired), can run my fridge and do significant battery charging. So, even the Kisae DC-DC isn't very necessary, and becomes less necessary if you have 250-300W available from the little inverter. I find it OK to have multiple ways to skin the same cat. On a trip last month with 13 nights slept in the car, I never needed more than the 120W 12V port to keep a 100Ah mini LiFePO4 charged back up by morning. Then I would turn the car off, and use the 100Ah to keep a 299Wh GoLabs power station topped up all day long running a freezer in Arizona desert heat with the car off, via pass-through charging. The 1280Wh of the battery plus the (actually less than) 299Wh of the power station ran the freezer at -4F in MAX cooling mode without either battery getting drained by night time. Then I'd turn the car and climate control on, and charge the 100Ah with a 4A charger plugged into the inverter, and move the fridge plug from the power station to the inverter. All while keeping the 100Ah feeding the power station. I had brought a 50Ah to parallel with the 100Ah if needed, but it was never needed. Really not bad for not using solar, not using DC-DC, not using a hardwired inverter. Just the little inverter in the 12V socket, only while the car ran while I slept or was driving. Many days, I did not drive.

@@HOBOTECH I'm not sure how powerful it is, and I'm not sure of differences between Toyota hybrids now that so many models of their cars have hybrid versions. The consensus on Prius for 2 decades (and I owned one before that) has always been that drawing 1000W or more from the 12V is OK-ish for a little while, but probably unwise to do for hours at a time on a regular basis. So, maybe this is absolutely optimal for squeezing 12V power out of a Toyota hybrid. Or maybe it's got that one last straw that might break the camel's back eventually, with a very big repair bill if you routinely pull 800W from that, plus 120W from the 12V port powering something else, maybe some of these vehicles have a second 12V port in back that your kid plugged a 100W PD Apple device into, etc. Probably not as bad as the guy I saw with a 700W cooking power microwave plugged into an inverter, but maybe not every model now is as bulletproof as an old Gen 2 Prius from 2004-09. I've switched to using a house-battery LiFePO4 setup in my Prius Prime, just needing to pull a bit more than my average load, multiplied by 24, divided by how many hours per day I am running the car and charging the house battery.

It’s got a lot of features. I would wire mine into the Lynx Distributor and then to the delta max 2. Everyone seems to be coming out with their own version now. They could really smoke the competition if they could make it multi platform compatible. I guess they’d be using the solar input for that.

Hi, is that to power up your 12v appliances like lights and fridge?

@@karen_yee yes. Imagine a solar generator without the build in battery.

​@@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk Got it but once you turn off the the engine, wouldn't you lose the power and the lights/fridge would turn off? I don't imagine I would leave my car engine on all the time. I wonder if it can hook up to charge a house battery in a campervan to charge it and then connect the battery to the Lynx Distributor and to 12v appliance and the Eco Flow Max or 2 unit.

@@karen_yee well, the main unit is charge controller, inverter and communication hub. You do connect a battery to it. But they come separate.

G’Day Dr Hobotech we really enjoy your work here down under. Wondering if this Alternator Charger ( DC to DC ) EcoFlow Charger will charge the BLUETTI AC200L with this could you please consider a Dr Hobotech test and tell please regarding this and thanks for all your great teaching work cheers for now cheers Australia 🇦🇺

I mention several times it's only for Ecoflow.

Kind of curious if it can charge a DIY 48v lifepo4 battery if the battery is dead & needs to be jump started

Can I use this to charge up and draw from any third party battery such as the SOK 206Ah lithium battery? Would custom cables need to be made for connecting from lugs to the 48v port?

@hobotech Hi Tom, did ecoflow asked you not to test this product in a usual way you test that stuff? I missing part to see how this charger co-exist with other Delta 2 Max charging options - what would happen if you connect Alt and a Solar? Alt and a AC charging? If you connect Delta to AC source and activate reverse charging? Does it have priority and/or limitation for simultaneous charging? For some reason all reviews talk only about Alt charging directly from car battery...

@hobotech Can you hook two of these up for 1600 watts of charging on a Delta 2? I should be within the current envelop for my alternator. (220 Amps - vs. ~140 needed.)

Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤ 🕊

So can we just go straight from the alternator with no 12v? I.e. bicycle alternator generator or stream water wheel alternator generator?

How much heat can it take? I live in Las Vegas, it gets 120 degrees in the summer. Can I leave the Delta and the Alt Charger in the car year round?

Thx for a great video! I have a 48 volt 20 amph Litium ion battery. Could i connect it via an xt60 cable to my ecoflow? And would i get the same speeds as this?

No

is there ANY WAY to use this with the BLUETTI SYSTEM I JUST purchased? If not I'm devastated!

Would this work with a Pecron 1500 or 2000 power station?

So can you use the device while you are charging it? Like the wave 2 can it run at the save time as it is plugged in while driving.

HHmmmm, Thanks Tom. This got Me a Thinking. My 1 ton 7.3 Diesel can have a second Alt. And I have the PTO controller with the charge protection option. I could configure the 2nd alt for 24 Volt. Push the Charge Protect. ((For 12 Volt side )) That runs the Engine idle Higher so the Alt can provide it's full output. or just use the PTO control to set any RPM I want ... People need to realize not all alternators produce Much output at Idle.. My 94 Goldwing for example, the Alt does not put out anything at idle and if left idling it will drain the Battery. I put in an aftermarket Alt the will provide 45 amps at Idle and upto 90 Amps at higher Road RPM's People used to load their bikes with Gobs of Lights and Have power issues AHAHAHAH My 100 Watt Ham Rig was the biggest draw on the Bike...
