- In this video we dive into two new products: EcoFlow 800 W Alternator Charger & Victron Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC Battery Charger. Both of the smart chargers allow for faster charging and recharging, maintains battery voltage and the EcoFlow can even jump start your battery. Both alternator chargers are easy to install and work with existing products in your build. Watch the video and check out our new alternator products at VanLand.com!

Thank you for this presentation. It is always interesting and very well explained.
What would the charging voltage and current be if you charge your car battery from a power station?
Hello, I have one Delta Pro and no extra batteries. Can I use this charger and the EF Dual Fuel Generator at the same time, using both battery ports and two XT150 adapters?
I’m converting a 2003 Freightliner M2 that has 3 large truck batteries. Is there any special way to hook up the EcoFlow alternator charger with that many batteries?
Regardless of make, all are drawing more from your very important alternater. Up graded alternators are available from some brands , a wise choice. Using one of these devices coupled with an auto gearbox vehicle could strand you!
But wouldn't this result in more gasoline/diesel consumption ? Which is already so high in consumption... which is also very expensive ... I think keeping it to a minimum and just emergency / leftover charging if solar is not enough ?
I feel I've seen this already
Where? These Orion XS 50 amp 98% efficiency 12-12V DC chargers are new and don't really seem 'out there' for purchase yet. They're not exactly cheap either, but they're still cheaper than that Ecoflow $600. To its credit, though, the ecoflow does come with fairly nice cables though, it seems. If I see it deeply discounted to under $300, I might get it for that reverse charging capability alone. Super useful with a companion 12V LFP for expanding a Delta 2 or similar.
I'm wondering if the factory alternator in my Promaster is powerful enough to run the 50A charger. Is there any way to test this, without damaging the alternator? Maybe with a temperature probe?
To verify, test out your 'max consumption' prior to buying, to size things up. I'm using a much less expensive (~$140) Victron 12 to 24V (adjustable up to 30V) 20A DC/DC converter for ~420W into the D2 or other solar charge controllers.
Get/use a decent DC clamp meter to see what kind of amperage is comes off the alternator when you're powering as much possible, simultaneously. Add that number up for a 'current worst case consumption' figure, add ~50A for something like one of these, and give yourself at least a good 30% buffer between that and the alternator's rated amperage and you should be good to go. Additional power loads while driving likely.
Most bigger vehicles should be alright running these. Maybe try to avoid AC usage at the same time, but for more specifics.. look for alternator info on amperage in parts catalogs / manuals for your particular model vehicle//alternator. Even sedans can have 175A alternators, so putting 30-50A should still give it headroom without running tons of stuff in your vehicle.
Check your factory alternator, ProMasters come with different amparage alternators, I think 180A or 220A. Mine came with the 220A and there's no issue running 40A DC-DC charger. I personally think it's a good idea to use DC-DC chargers in which the amparage can be controlled. For example, my DC-DC charger gives the option of selecting either 20A or 40A or turning off entirely. Yes, there's a lot of wiring labor involved but I think it is almost critical if you don't have a high average alternator. My DC-DC charger is from Renogy, and I don't think other affordable DC-DC chargers have these features--Ah, and Renogy DC-DC chargers have active cooling (fans that kick in when the unit gets hot) making it very desirable in enhancing efficiency. I intend to upgrade to 350A alternator and dedicate 80A of that to charging my solar batteries--I live in the PNW where the sun rarely shines in winter. Btw, I only run my DC-DC unit when the vehicle is in motion to not stress the alternator. Hope this helped!
There is a rating capacity on your alternator. that will tell you if you if it can handle the heavy additional load.. He does mention you can upgrade your alternator if it can't handle the additional load
This can not charge bluetti, right

I think the outline of the EF charger is misleading, as it should say “up to 800W”, as the 2 people I know that now have that have not seen over 700W. In any case, the biggest benefit is the charging of the main battery which provides peace of mind and mirrors the benefit of having a dual battery set up. It is pricey when converting converting to Canadian $$. Prior to knowing this was being released, I purchased the Victron 12/24 DC/DC 40A converter, and use the solar port on my Delta 2 Max to accept the charge. I’ve kept the voltage dialed down on the Victron so I stay just under 400W as a max input. I can turn it up more to get almost 500W, but I don’t want to stress out my stock alternator and prefer to keep the Victron running under max. Cost was only $180 Cdn
