Hey thanks for the video sure helped me out. I'm not real smart at this stuff. I'm just getting into all this. Have a cabin up on our property. And I'm trying to make it my home away from home. Should the little lady of the house become angry. I'm so poor I can't pay attention. So baby steps. Want to do it the right way so it doesn't cost me 3 times as much. By doing it the right way the first time. I liked, subbed, and notified. Simple explaining in regular English sures does help, TY...!!!
Hey thanks! Appreciate that
I can't help but notice the color of your River Max. It does look pretty good from the video.
👍
nice video. By now you probably realize that you can nearly double the charging speed (from 8A to 15A) by using a cable with a XT60i connector rather than using the car adapter.
Indeed but this is what I had on hand. Thanks
Thanks for the video. I am gonna do the same with my River Max and hopefully end up with a lot more capacity.
Good luck!
I do like the color of that River Max, you don't always see a colorful power station.
True
Thank you! This is exactly what i was looking for!
Glad I could help!
Simple and nice! Would be the same with acid battery?
Yes
get a 240w converter and attach the battery to it and the other end to the ecoflow, I have a converter on my battery and it inputs 192 watts to my ecoflow river 2 max
Thanks. Many ways to keep it charged
Yes Im loving my ecoflow, what mppt controller do you recomend tp charge my battery?
I like the small victron. But depending on solar panel size/amount. signaturesolar.com/victron-bluesolar-mppt-75-15-solar-charge-controller/?ref=rodneyhunt
They have bigger units if you want to charge faster but that one should charge a small battery back with no problems.
use 12v to USB-C adapter & charge to the front USB-C at the same time for even faster charging.
Good idea
if you use the 12v car lighter port on the echoflow, can you recharge that car battery?
Not sure if that will work. May just need to use a standard charger.
Is there a way to charge the 12v battery with solar panels simultaneously?
You can use a separate charge controller for it with a panel connected.
Can you put a MPPT and a few panels on the battery while it’s plugged into the Ecoflow?
Sure
@@rodneyhunt I appreciate your super fast response!
No problem
Will the Ecoflow charge the other battery?
You can setup with a charger but no not directly built in feature
@@rodneyhunt I have the same unit as you and I crunched the numbers and please do not take this as criticism; it is only the economics. I priced the Super Queen Battery at about $130 tax included from Walmart online. The Ecoflow River Max Plus battery is $139 tax included. You would need to buy cables and a battery charger for the Super Queen. The Super Queen has 600 watt hours and the Ecoflow battery has 720 watt hours.
Enjoyed the video thumbs up and it your video does give other options. Thank you.
Does this charge the battery back up when you plug in the ecoflow?
It can. Best to charge with solar if you have it. A generator or car will work also. Lots of options.
@@rodneyhunt but can it charge just by leaving it plugged into that port?
No that is for using the power.
What if you want to charge with solar panels
You can charge battery with a solar charge controller. So yes you can
@@rodneyhunt thanks your video is very helpful,
In that case charging it with solar energy I would have to double the XT60i connector?
Appreciate the uploaded review. Just wondering what you think if the product a year on & where you got it from as its hard to find now
I got the solar generator at samsclub but not sure they have it now. Still like it for the right price if you can find it
@@rodneyhuntthankyou for getting back to me. Seems like its sold out on that site too. I prefer the RM Plus design over the River Pro so will keep looking for it.
👍
@@rodneyhuntis it possible to add expansion battery on this like its possible with the River Pro?
Not sure one is prebuilt for this but you can always add your own with a few modifications to use thru the solar inputs etc
I honestly did not know that I can do that to my River Max. Thanks to your video I cam expand the capacity even more than before.
You can also you a solar connector to the battery for faster charging
This could help folks when their power station battery dies. Most of the power stations don't give the ability to replace the battery but this allows one to keep using the other components of the power station. I have Licciti battery box with BYOB (Bring Your Own Battery) but I will definitely be looking at doubling my capacity now. Great info sir.
Hey thanks! Glad it helped
Try to use the solar cable and you could get more power to the Ecoflow. It should charge with more than 8 Amps.
Yes you can do 12 amps with the solar input. I just have not made a cable yet. Wanted to show it with off the shelf products you can easily purchase. Thanks
Great idea too. After watching another video I seethere is also an xt60 with battery clamps
Is there any way the power station is charging the auxiliary battery once it is fully charged?
Just with a standard charger from a plug but nothing automatic
Doing this in the next few days 😊
Nice 👍
Same your money this battery BMS keeps shutting down…
Which battery? Are you over the rating?
@@rodneyhunt it’s set to 14.4 on charge controller bms shuts down after battery is charged none of my other batteries does this I can leave my other batteries hooked up and nothing turns off everything keeps working put on the power queen for some reason it turns off my inverter witch is only 600 watts beeps giving battery error charge protection..
@@dan32one44 might be going over charge limit even though set to 14.4. Try lowering the setting slightly and that might fix it
Useful and easy.
Glad you think so!
It kinda shows how versatile the River Max is aside from having 576Wh of capacity.
Liking mine so far
This is super cool
But i would actually like to see how to do it the other way around
Have to Eco Flow charge my car battery!!!
@@carolmaplesden916 👍
You just plug a battery charger into the AC port or get a male DC 12v to jumper cable cord and charge the car battery like that
Hello Rodney. Can I connect my battery pack to my solar panel at the same time as the battery is charging my ecoflow?
@@Just-Offside As long as charge controller voltage is the same range. I would not connect directly to battery but through a charge controller should be fine
@@rodneyhunt yes, I have a solar charge controller connected to the panels
Should be fine in my opinion. Just like charging a battery and using with an inverter at the same time. Just keep voltage and amps within range of solar generator input.
Can you use a 100 Ah Lithium battery?
Yes
