Thanks so much - I enjoying make informative videos. And I think people appreciate that I do not monetize in any way. And my wife is a delight! : ) 40th anniversary coming up this fall!
I just finished a 4,300 road trip through 5 states and the Ecoflow Delta 1300 powered my portable fridge without any issues. My roof rack-mounted Renogy 160W solar panel performed equally well. With a panel like that, it's easy to keep your Delta station topped off during sunny days. But also being able to fully charge the Delta at a hotel in a pinch in less than 2 hours makes this unit the most awesome out there. It even worked fine in Arizona in 117-degree heat inside a parked SUV. That's toughness!
Great tips. The Ecoflow solar panels have surprised me with their efficiency. Even during January, if the sun gets strong in Phoenix, the Delta1300 occasionally registers more than 110W of power coming in per panel! With a consistently strong sun, you can get a decent amount of charge from a single panel in just a couple of hours. Your tips are awesome because they cover a host of other situations. Thank you.
@@justsayin6795 It's the top number of the two numbers that you see on the right side of the panel. The top number has the word "INPUT" to the right of it and it tells you the input you're getting in Watts. If the panel isn't in direct sunlight, you may get a reading of zero. I also have a problem with my solar charge cable. Sometimes it doesn't work unless I jiggle the negative connector. Ecoflow is sending me a replacement cable as it appears to be defective.
@@daphnesipes Foldable "briefcase" style panels tend to cost more than other options but they're a great balance of performance and convenience. I think you'll be pleased with your decision. I recently got a Renogy 160W rigid panel that I plan to mount on my 4Runner's roof rack. I'll use it to feed the Ecoflow Delta 1300, which in turn will feed my fridge and my overland adventures. Really excited about the possibilities and it all started with the Delta. Cool product.
Really good info! Thank you. Just had a major power outage at home and would like to use this to run my internet modem, laptop and maybe TV, or fridge and freezer when needed during lengthy outages. The information about having a gas generator as a backup is helpful too as I'm looking into that potential as well.
I made sure to have all of Ecoflow units fully charged as the storms approached Indiana. We could run our pellet stove, furnace and well pump with them. And I still have the Honda generator in the garage to use as well.
Great video Charles - Thanks. I just recently purchased the Delta 1300 and hope to be using it for weekend camping trips this spring/summer. I've discovered on the web that one of my favorite campgrounds has a free Level 1 (120v)/Level 2 (240v) EV charging station right next door to it. Have you heard of anybody using a level 1 EV charging station to charge up their EcoFlow Delta? I don't know much about electric vehicles or how they charge, but I think the level 1 stations are just standard 120v power receptacles that the car owner then plugs his charging adapter into. If you or anybody else could provide some insights on this I would really appreciate it.
I’ve never been asked that before and I absolutely don’t have an answer for you. Sorry. I don’t know how you would hook up a connection to the Delta. I know you can certainly do that with Adelta Pro I’ll beyond that I don’t know. We are out camping and I typically take one Delta 1300 and my Delta Max on shorter trips. On longer trips I take two Delta 1300s and the max and we have power off and enough that we’re good. Be safe out there.
@@charlesmoman Thanks for the quick response Charles. After I posted here I heard you say (in the video or comments, not in person... ha ha) to check with the EcoFlow Facebook groups, so....Ta-da... That's what I did and I've already got some good responses. I was only referring to the level 1 - 110w plugs (also called EV trickle chargers) and I am told that 99% of the time here in the U.S., they are just standard NEMA 5-15 outlets. So I should be able to just plug in and charge. Of course I would try to go there either very early or late in the day, and yield priority to actual EV needs, but it should be another option.
Have you ever charged the Delta 1300 from a 20A receptacle on a gas inverter generator? My Champion 100520 gas inverter is pure sine wave THD < 3% so no problem there. But i didn't know if plugging the Delta charge cable 16G (rated up to 13A) into a 20A inverter outlet would be a problem....?
It would a really long time to recharge via the cigarette port. And another problem that people have recharging that way, is the plug itself gets really hot because the EcoFlow is trying to pull so much power. I now have a Ford transit camper van that we converted. I added a Victron DC to DC charger to charge while driving. That is much safer and faster.
@@charlesmoman I have a couple questions, please... 1) How many watts does your Victron DC to DC charger put into your Delta 1300? 2) Which model of Victron did you get? Thanks!
Great video! Thinking of Getting the Delta pro soon. I have a Briggs and Stratton P3000. Inverter gen up to 3000 W. It has a 30A plug. Could I use this outlet to charge it? Thanks!
I really have no idea. I guess I would need to look up how much it cost me per kilo one hour and divide by basically an hour to recharge a Delta fully. Can’t be that much but I actually do recharge and seller just sitting in the driveway sometimes. Free is free.
Love this video! How do I know what gas generator to buy to charge the EcoFlow? I live in Pittsburgh and we don't get a lot of sun in order to use solar.
I have the delta mini but want to buy a gas powered generator to be able to have another option of charging the delta mini. Do you have a couple options I could look into? I guess I’m just not sure of how big I need to go on the gas generator. I don’t want one too small but not too large either. Thanks for the info.
Anybody knows It’s work fine with the Dometic CFX fridge conected to 12v outlet? I read that it has a shutdown timer and just shutdown after 30 mins. True or not?
Most "solar generators" do shut down after a certain. time IF the usage falls below a certain amount of watts. And, some of them have unregulated 12v ports that drop below 12.5 after the battery drops to say 80% or lower. The Ecoflow has a regulated 12v port, so it will not shut off as the capacity remaining drops. So, I am pretty sure it will keep running a 12v fridge as long as it has power remaining.
I just purchased a ECOFlow Delta and ready to purchase the panels. Does it need to be EcoFlow? I was looking at TwelSeavan Solar Panel....... cheaper, I thought I read only use EF? Thanks. A big non techy..:-)
No, you do not need to buy the Ecoflow panels - though they are nice. The Ecoflow will come with a a solar cable that has an XT60 connector on one end to plug into the Delta and the other end will have standard MC4 connectors.MC4 connectors are standard with all solar panels - so get shopping! My wife and I are now finishing - this week - a 2018 Ford Transit van conversion and Ecoflow is one of our major corporate partners. We are basing our electrical system on all Ecoflow units and their solar panels. I did wire for shore power too. Our van build series is here on my channel.
@@charlesmoman Thank you for your response. I think I invested in the EF1300 Delta I will just purchase their solar panels. I am very excited to use it. Excited to see your new transit build! I recently sold my home in Boulder. Purchased an RV and even only 60K miles I have had lots of replacing. A bit much for a single woman. Thursday I leave for Utah and will travel in my 4runner and I am pretty sure I will want a van. I just want more mobility than a big motorhome. I am a minimalist anyway and enjoy small spaces. Look forward to seeing your new build and following your journey. I like the Ford Transit. Thanks again for your reply. Happy travels.
Personally, I don’t recharge it with my car 12v cigarette port. Why? The Delta’s fast recharging pulls or tries to pull so much juice it can overheat some vehicle’s port. And it can stress your alternator. Now some report no issues at all. If you try it, make SURE to keep the plug in tight. If it gets loose, than can cause overheating and in rare cases it will melt the plug. One of the problems is, that the wiring to the cigarette ports is pretty thin wire. I have gotten a heavier cord that I can run from the car battery into my vehicle and at the end it has an XT 60 plug. That way I could charge directly from the battery to the Delta. Having said that, I likely will not ever use it. The Delta recharges is so fast, I can get a charge back up at campgrounds very quickly. Or if we stop at a laundromat, they will usually let me plug it in and recharge it. The Ecoflow Tiver Max and River pro units, work with an app on your phone and you can dial down how much juice they will pull. Some people have a vehicle with two alternators or they put in a more powerful alternator and that can help the issue to. Just be careful that you don’t overheat wires when recharging the Ecoflow in a vehicle. We don’t want a fire in our car do we?
I hesitate to answer because I think it depends on the vehicle you have. I would hate to tell you and then you start blowing fuses. Maybe ask the Amazon seller or email Bestek with your info.
Thanks for the video. Do you think the Delta could be charged by a lead acid 12 volt car battery? I don't mean through the cigarette lighter output, but directly from a battery? Thanks
That is a good question and I honestly do not have a clue. I know the soon-coming Ecoflow R600 Pro or River 600 Pro will have a module that allows it to be linked to lithium like a Battle Borne but it would not work with the Delta. Join the Ecoflow Users Group on Facebook and ask there or message Ecoflow in their Facebook page.
@@charlesmoman Thanks for the answer, and for telling me about the Ecoflow FB group. Ecoflow's tech support is pretty good, they answer the next day. I will set up four Renogy 100-watt solar panels in the back yard, and see how that does. Figure I get 320 watts out of the panels, times 6 hours per day of sunlight, which will hopefully produce 1,920 watt-hours. Hopefully that will fully recharge the Delta.
@@rootcanal7188 Ecoflo sent me four of their panels. I’m not sure I would take all four on every trip, but we will see. This week I’m getting the river 600 from them plus an extra battery. And in November I’m getting the R 600 pro plus the EF 1500 battery. They are really setting me up very well.
@@charlesmoman Thanks for the answer. That's good that you have the fold-up Ecoflow solar panels for portability. Too bad they charge $400 for 110 watts! That's cool that they sell spare battery packs for the R600. Of course you will have to have solar power to keep it charged up. That's a good idea to be a camper these days.....there's a good chance that there will be riots and possible power outages on Election Day and afterwards. Best to be mobile. and move to where it is safe.

@@charlesmoman I went with the Renogy 160W (RNG-160D-SS) panel in the end. The compromise is only 40W but the 160W model stays well within the Delta specs in two critical ways: Short Circuit Current (Isc) of 8.37A, and Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) of 22.9V. Both the 200W and 175W models went over the 10A Isc tolerance of the Delta, so that pretty much made the decision for me. The Renogy 160W panel works great with the Delta.

Both the 200W and 175W models went over the 10A Isc tolerance of the Delta, so that pretty much made the decision for me. The Renogy 160W panel works great with the Delta.

I think you need to watch out for the ones who still eat shredded wheat! 😎
