Perfect. I searched last year how to hook the ecoflow up to a van, I do a lot of driving and the solutions were all after market and a little bit complicated (for me). Nice that ecoflow added this
That’s a great addition for one of these units, so much more flexibility for the power banks. Hopefully other manufacturers will follow and start selling for their brand.
Mine came today and its done what most peoples do it has a solid red light on the unit.After research your Delta will need a firmware update even though it says your unit is upto date.I have messaged Ecoflow to push an update to my Delta and i have another two that will need updating.Ecoflow know this but dont inform people when ordered.Have you noticed the lack of feedback on Amazon including from America on this charger.Ive used Ecoflow Deltas for two years but the rollout of this charger has been a joke.I will give them a week to sort it or send it back as it doesnt work without the update that they should have rolled out with this charger.
An excellent hands on demonstration on fitting the unit, mines on order to go with my Max2, can't wait, just need to work out where it will go in my VW-T6,, thanks for taking the time to explain this long waited product
I deff want one of these.. I been watching them on youtube, HoboTech explained why that round block is in the leads, Because in America it was interfering with radio frequencies.. But I still want one when they bring the price down.. XX
Comment is ok. but its just me that has comented.. Still out of my price range at mo.. By all accounts it will also plug into the dabbsson and 2 others and work..?
Much better than 100 watts, Dave! Charging these things up again without 240v hook up was always the main issue with these things tbh 👍I like the EV charge cable idea too, my brother has been using one of those for his Bluetti.
Hi, do you know if you can charge you internal camper 230V grid using the Ecoflow Powerstream (so that solarpower goes directly into your campergrid when you are not connected to shore power)?
Just ordered one of these. Looks great. Thanks for what I think is the first UK based video of it! One question- what did you do with the excess cable from the battery? Just coil up under the seat?
Thank you so very much for an excellent review of this item. I am a huge fan of EcoFlow and I have three of their portable power stations having just gotten the Delta2 1024wh. I love it. And this is a game changer. No solar for me. One question, how long can you charge it using your vehicle while you're not moving before the battery will die. Does this have an automatic shut off so it will not drain your vehicles battery? Thank you again so much. Vianne
Γεια σας απο Θεσσαλονικη ΕΛΛΑΔΑ....Εχω το ιδιο καμπερ με σας....Ευχαριστω τα βιντεο σας ειναι αξιολογα ....γνωριζετε αν αυτος ο εναλακτης μπορει να συνδεθει στη μπαταρια του Α/C wave 2 ?
Pecron have brought out a far simpler product which I believe will work with any power station .. it was retailing in the US for just over $100… I ordered one from here as they listed now available in UK but currently not able to dispatch here for some reason .. Does the Eco Flow only work with their own power stations ??????
I have an unused inverter in my van with 12-gauge wire running from the battery to the inverter. Since the battery is a side post battery, can I connect to the inverter terminal port instead of the main battery?
Can you connect the Ecoflow Alternator charger to a leisure battery? I want to do this as the cables would be easier to install and I want to keep my Ecoflow battery bank in the rear of my ford transit custom
Technically, yes 👍 but the battery you are connecting it to would need a charge from somewhere or the alternator charge unit would just drain down your leisure battery to charge your EcoFlow however you can switch that section off and just use the EcoFlow unit to charge your leisure battery hope that helps makes sense👍
I've just installed one in my motorhome exactly how you suggest. As both my Ecoflow and my leisure battery are under one of the bench seats it was so simple just to connect it to the leisure battery. As this is normally charged from the alternator this is where the Ecoflow unit gets it's power from. As long as you set the Ecoflow charger to activate when the battery voltage is over, say, 13v the leisure battery never gets drained. When the engine is running, if the voltage is below 13v the leisure battery gets the alternator power but once it's fully charged the power is then used to charge my Ecoflow Delta Max. Hope that reassures you.
Just an update. Having used it for a few days I've noticed that the charge rate never got above around 600 watts and soon dropped below that while connected to the leisure battery. I've no idea why. I've since connected it to the vehicle battery and I now get a rock steady 800 watts. So although wiring to the leisure battery is a lot easier there's something preventing full power charging. I'll stick to the vehicle battery now.
Your crafter got a smart alternator? Tried to message ecoflow about it but getting nowhere even asked what a smart alternator was 😂 it's for my 2017 Vw t6 bluemotion so has euro 6 stop start etc bit more complicated than older ones
My crafter is a 2017 and has a smart alternator and it all working great I also have a B2B fitted and that works alongside it too so I would imagine you should be fine 👍
@@onemanandhiswhippet That is a pity. Maybe there is a workaround so it can be used for that purpose. I am not brave enough to do it myself but maybe some brave person will lol.
This is the information that will help you manuals.ecoflow.com/us/product/alternator-charger-800w?lang=en_US Also “Are there any requirements for car models? The overall voltage of some older or special car models is relatively low and the charger may fail to work as a result. In this case, use the EcoFlow app to adjust the start voltage of the charger.” Hope that helps 👍
How set it and forget it is? Anybody compare this the Victron Orion XS50 DC-DC 50a? Cables will reach back of a Promaster 118WB with starter battery under drivers feet.

Just picked mine up from Amazon for $340. Thanks!
Cool 👌
Perfect. I searched last year how to hook the ecoflow up to a van, I do a lot of driving and the solutions were all after market and a little bit complicated (for me). Nice that ecoflow added this
I’m very impressed with how easy it is to fit and it works so well too 👍👍
That’s a great addition for one of these units, so much more flexibility for the power banks. Hopefully other manufacturers will follow and start selling for their brand.
Yes I’m very impressed with the all idea and the easy fit too 👍😍😍

Thanks for letting me know it’s strange as mine updated and worked ok but I will pass your comments on to my contact at Ecoflow for you too 🙏👍👍
No you won't
I did and got this Thanks for letting us know that! I will update this issue to the support team🙏

Many thanks it is a great idea and works well in my van 🙏😍😍
Crazy question if you have dual alternators, can you have dual echo flows chargers?
@@tq6407I’m not sure I think you would need each to be link to a battery too 👍
I deff want one of these.. I been watching them on youtube, HoboTech explained why that round block is in the leads, Because in America it was interfering with radio frequencies.. But I still want one when they bring the price down.. XX
Thanks Kev it is a clever piece of kit 👍👍

Thank you for the review ! i wish i bought this instead of the Anker powerhouse 757 with solar input bug crash tilt mode
It’s difficult to keep up with all the new innovations nowadays 👍
Much better than 100 watts, Dave! Charging these things up again without 240v hook up was always the main issue with these things tbh 👍I like the EV charge cable idea too, my brother has been using one of those for his Bluetti.
Many thanks 🙏 👍👍
Very neat, looks like a good bit of kit, much better than a VSR or DC to DC charger as its more versatile and also a lot smarter too.
Yep it’s very impressive 👍👍
Thanks for the discount code. Works great 👍. Hope you get some commission to treat the whippets 😀
😂🙏👍 many thanks
Looks a great little bit of kit 😊 great thigh to have in any camper. Great review 💙
Many thanks it’s going to be great way to power over winter 👍👍
@@onemanandhiswhippet yeah definitely it will do. Hopefully I can get one before the winter sets in :)
Great review 👍🏻 I hope the other manufacturers release something like it .
Many thanks John 🙏👍👍
Great review nice bit of kit
Many thanks 🙏 👍👍
Very clever, as has been said, hopefully other brands will follow, or one that is capable of charging various??? 🤔🙂
I’m well impressed 👍👍👍

Many thanks it is a great bit of kit 👍 yes the unused lead I just coiled it up and put it under the seat 👍
Maybe you can tell me why mine as a solid red light brand new
@@lolprice6190 sorry don’t understand?
It will not charge has solid red light and bunch of errors codes there is no output from charger this is my second one
Sorry are you say you have got one and it’s not working you have a red light and it’s not charging your Ecoflow?
Can this charge a lipo battery by just having solar panels connected
No it runs from the main van battery powered by the alternator 👍
@@onemanandhiswhippet thanks mate

Hi there
Yes it had a cut off to stop it running your battery down and that’s also adjustable using the app too 👍👍
@@onemanandhiswhippet Thank you so much and many blessings to you.
Also what kettle is that ?
Just a low wattage of Amazon 👍
Can I ask how long have you had your EcoFlow and any problems ?
I’ve had from this video and no problem at all 👍👍

That’s interesting 👍 yes this unit is only for Ecoflow units that are listed in the video description 🙏👍👍
I have an unused inverter in my van with 12-gauge wire running from the battery to the inverter. Since the battery is a side post battery, can I connect to the inverter terminal port instead of the main battery?
Sorry I don’t know it really needs to be looked at by an electrician to be save
Can you solar charge at the same time? Does the battery prefer one over the other? Or can it do both simultaneously?
Yes it can do both at the same time but it will manage the input level as it’s running 👍👍
That’s a game changer for sure 👍
🙏👍👍

Will it work along side a victron BtoB..
Yes mine is 👍👍
Will this work with a smart alternator mate?
Yes my van has a smart alternator fitted 👍👍
This work on smart alternators?
It did on mine 👍👍

Is that a 12v kettle?
No 240v AC
Def looks a handy piece of kit. Does it only plug into extra battery port or will it work on Delta 2 ?
Hi I was told its Compatible with:
- EcoFlow Delta 2 (1kWh)
- EcoFlow Delta 2 Max (2kWh)
- EcoFlow Delta Pro (3.6kWh) 👍👍
Can you use the Ecoflow charger to charge a lithium battery or can it only charge a Ecoflow product?
It only links to Ecoflow units that have a backup battery socket 👍
@@onemanandhiswhippet That is a pity. Maybe there is a workaround so it can be used for that purpose. I am not brave enough to do it myself but maybe some brave person will lol.

£329 I suppose not to bad to get your system up to date
👍👍
Does not solve mine my EcoFlow Delta Pro has no inlets for it even tho they advertise it. I now have a very heavy paper weight.
Sorry Don’t understand that it just links to the battery expansion port ?
I am not haveing any luck with the charger
Sorry don’t understand?

How set it and forget it is? Anybody compare this the Victron Orion XS50 DC-DC 50a? Cables will reach back of a Promaster 118WB with starter battery under drivers feet.
Yes it is plug and play you can extent the leads just use the same size cables I have the Victron and the Ecoflow running on my van 👍
What models you have and how fast does your alternator fully charge it?
Delta 2 and it changes at 800w from this unit and from flat it will fully charge in under 2 hours 👍👍
