Will you come back to cars
For us ukrainians it'd be perfect solution
So it doesn’t have pass through charging????
This is confusing because others have shown and stated it can charge a 120v and pass through if you setup the mode in the app.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZH9tz86rqdKenKw.htmlsi=1t9-fqUSA0yNvPWL
Here's a reddit post: I use mine with 240v output (into my generator transfer switch) while charging via 120v AC input. If you don't want it to continuously be charging to keep your battery full you can disable charging by scheduling charging at a different time/frequency. When charging is disabled, one phase of your 240v output will be powered by AC (passthrough), the other phase by your battery.
Seems you may have not setup the unit in the app for your 240v pass-through to work correctly
The specified capacity of the battery is 6144Wh. This would change your calculations slightly.
Ask EcoFlow for their comments. It is supposed to handle up to 120 LRA
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.
Yes the 30 amp plug on the front does work. If you use the AC input on the front, and set to Fast, you can input up to 1800 watts at 120 volts and get up to 7,200 watts out at 240 volts the only unit that can do this. If you are using the AC input on the side you have to input at least 7,200 watts for the 30 amp plug on the front to output power also
6:37 what adapter are you using to hook it up to the stove?
This is why my wardrobe is trash.
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.
Will it start an AC
Ecoflow claims it will start a 3.5 ton AC. But I believe that is only if you have a soft start installed on it.
Oooh nice would loved to have seen airconditioner
EcoFlow claims it will start and run a 3.5 ton AC. But I believe that is only if you have a soft start installed on it.
@@criticalhadlock886 at least in my part of canada, softstarts aren’t a thing. Talked to several electricians and air conditioning companies and no one would touch it :(
Even offered to buy it ahead of time

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?
I really think car lift is an unfair load to the Power Station.
I dont understand why you feel this way considerings 2200w is nowhere near the peak of this unit AND the less powerfull Anker 3800 can run it just fine. There is clearly something odd internally going on with the Delta Pro Ultra.
How much is EcoFlow paying you? 👀
@@TheSolarLab The 30A DC output is limited to 378W and not intended for home backup. Based on other review vids, it's designed to be stationary, with the option to be portable if needed. You'd have to get the Smart Home (sub) panel 2 to fully utilize the system.
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
Can this charge my rivian r1t?
Costco has deals on this including one with 3 batteries and the panel for $10k
To be fair, a transfer switch does prevent any back-feeding into the main and is a safer option long term. Old Main breakers can often not break completely allowing some current to flow back through the lines. The down side of a TS is limited circuits. At least this one gives you 10. But the best price found is around $450, without the genny cord
Hey great channel, but here a major misstep -- there is not really any such thing as "Watts per hour" (energy acceleration?). You're looking for Watt-hours. I'm sure you know this and brain farted for this video but it might be worth a clarification in the description. 100W for one hour is 100Wh (Watt-hours). Watts (power) is a rate of energy usage, while Watt-hours is an amount of energy. Similarly, calling something a "1000 Watt battery" doesn't make much sense since the units are getting mixed up again. You would describe a battery as something like 1000Wh (capacity/amount) with a continuous output capability of 2000W (power/rate) [but more typically described in amps].
You can tell this is not an Anker review.
right there in the title😂
I installed one of these in a video for my Bluetti, works great.
You’re a sexy little daddy 😍
@thesolarlab Why does it say 25amp Max for the outlets that include a 50amp outlet?
Might I suggest film wiring 2 inverters to create 220v for say a HEAT PUMP❤️🔥🇺🇸
Gentlemen and ladies, I have two lithium ion 12 V batteries each is 3500 watt hours. If I wire them in parallel voltage stays at 12 what happens to the hours when I have 7000 W hours? What happens when I wire those two batteries and series to give me 24 V do the water and give me 7000? Or do the watt hours stay the same at 3500? Thank you in advance anyone?
Have you tried using the WAGO connectors instead of wire nuts? They sure simplify the installation.
Doesn’t the Hysolis last twice as long (6000 cycles)? If so, the price comparison doesn’t matter since you’ll have to buy two EcoFlow delta pro Ultras during one Hysolis lifespan.
They just advertise a different number as far as i remember. EcoFlow advertises 3500 to 80% & then 6000 to 60% (somewhere in the fine print) & Hysolis is the exact same.. they just advertise the 6000 cycles to make it look better. They never say "6000 to 80%" likely because it is not. most these batteries are the same!
One thing I’d love to see is mismatched solar panels set up in series and parallel. Different voltages and watts. See if it’s effective or not
Snow day with bi facials split cell panels
I like the concept of being able to upgrade and repair with the traditional. The minute you buy a power station another one better replaces it.
talk about the 30% tax credit
You false info at first is pretty discouraging. A interlock it's way more versatile than a set number on a transfer switch. And your ignorance on the batter makes me want to never watch your videos again. I hope you get a bunch of money lying to people .
what about ecoflow wall power switch relays? Have you had a chance to review it?
wait a min, you can do 240 with a single delta pro?
Same question!
@@AlternativePower903 same here, should need the 240 hub, but he switched on the 240 breaker with just 1 DP
yeah, seems like he got a kit intended for the anker f3800 which can do 240, but hooked up an ecoflow that can't. For those that can't you should unbind/replace the 240v breakers & switches.
No. Need the 240 hub and of course, a 2nd dp.
nope, just an example to show the lights working!
The smaller box does not run just one side of the box, and with a interlock kit you can choose what yo turn on. So all the statements are not true.
If you install a dual pole breaker as your generator main, it will. land both hots to it. both legs will be energized. just don't turn on any 240 appliances. Could get damaged. Way cheaper option than trans switch, but not great for long term.
@rtsrts2317 so far I haven't had any issues, I tested my generator to see what it could handle which included turning on my range oven and it worked. But I'll keep an eye on it. Thank you for the info
Fixed or portable assets may also be determined if you want flexibility as a renter or need to move/bug-out.
I own one and have had zero issues. $1349.00 on Temu.
I have wired a 6 breaker pro tran 2 to mying and it's been running off my bluetti ac200p. Generated around 170.150kwh so far with it
I'd love to see it do some peak shaving
Why not just get an interlock switch, it’s a lot cheaper and you can do the same thing and have all your breakers available?
He answered that question.
@@Witcherworks Well, that’s the way I hooked up my house, an interlock switch, and I can turn off anything and everything I want! It’s simple and very clean. Just add two 50 amp breakers for the solar.
But with the pro tran 2 you don't have to have at the panel a shut off for the power. That is why I went with the pro tran 2
@@josephmiller6866 I’m off the grid most of the year.
I would love that. Definitely envy you

I prefer to build my own so that I know the quality of the parts used and can replace each component if something goes bad or I just want to expand. Plus, mine is 100% waterproof.
An added benefit of this vs the professionally installed set ups is this is mobile, though it's heavy and a pain to move. So if you have a major disaster you can take power with you when fleeing. Also, you don't have to worry about having some "professional" cutting corners or making a mistake. I do want to know how the longevity compares to the professional kits though.
Are you interested in a 12V tilting solar panel mount for Van's and RV's? I have them in stock. Just push a button to raise and lower the panel.
No a good inverter , my burned out in less than a year , I will put a video of what happened and why not to buy from that brand, I'm hoping they are more helpful on the refund but they are giving me a lot of problems to get it on a return from signature solar , will see but stay away from this junk.
😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊😊
Is it possible connection between 2 Oscal power station or only with extended battery?
I've been seeing this battery evo walrus solar generator everywhere and only the company has review videos 😕. Would love to see it here on a review ☺️
