So glad I found your video you were saying car generator is that the same as an inverter? Cause I want to upgrade my alternator then add a 3000 watt inverter to charge a Ecoflow delta pro with two expansion batteries for van life. The eco flow alternator outputs 800 watts and gets kinda warm but my thinking was I could be set up more effectively and lower cost with a larger alternator a 3000 watt inverter charging all three units cause it’s really hard to cram more than 800 watts of solar on a van roof. Thank you so much gonna sub to see what other useful info I can get.
CarGenerator is an easy to use pure sine inverter with matching cables in a patented weatherproof housing that anyone can use with no prior technical knowledge. check and see what is the largest capacity alternator you can put in your vehicle, and look for "idle output". Often thats around half of full rated amps output. You can adjust the Ecoflow to match the charge rate that your alternator and inverter can safely support. If you search for your vehicle make/model and the words alternator upgrade, that will help you find manufacturers with direct bolt in replacement alternators.
1600 watts sounds like a lot for a stock alternator? can they really push that much especially at idle where the RPM's are lower, without draining the starter battery?
To calculate amps available for any specific vehicle, the most accurate way is to call your vehicle dealer , parts dept, give them your phone number or VIN vehicle ID, they can tell you exactly for your vehicle build, the rated amps of your alternator. Reduce this number by half due to idle speed = approximate watts available. THE most important number to watch however, is the vehicle voltage (displayed on the front of the CarGenerator) as long as this is 13.5 volts or higher, than your alternator is easily supplying all the needed power. If this voltage drops to 13.3 or 12.9 volts or lower for example, then you are borrowing power from your battery and need to reduce the load. The EcoFlow DeltaPro lets you adjust input watts so you can adjust it to the capacity of your specific vehicle. Another pro tip for peace of mind is to use a laser temp guage and check the temperature of your alternator occasionally to be completely comfortable that its within normal operating temperature range.
showing HOW and the steps would have been helpful. Thank you for at least letting me know it can be done.
