ECOFLOW Delta 2 - Off The GRID | Cabin Adventures
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2022
- We have been running our off-grid cabin off of a solar / battery systems now for about 3-4 years. We've checked out quite a few different products in the past, but it's been about a year since we've looked at something new. @EcoFlowTech has just released some new models to their line-up, and today we're going to check out the DELTA 2. This is a medium sized unit that stores 1024Wh of power, with an AC baseline output of 1800W (not counting surge capacity). We'll get this charged up to 100% power using the 220 Watt Bi-Facial panels from ECOFLOW - and then attempt the run the cabin off of just the battery power for the entire weekend to see how well it performs.
I will also share with you some tips along the way, to help you if you're new to the Solar Generator world - including a special rule that I created for myself to only ever charge my units using solar power - and the reasons why you should consider doing this as well.

I'm an electrician and I recommend getting a gadget to plug into your outlets at home to see what the draw for all of your common appliances and tools (like hair dryers) use so if you want to use these battery banks you can estimate and intelligently use your appliances and tools without wondering when you'll lose power
I love the presentation this gentleman really explain everything detailed by detail. He take his time to show what this unique can do for all of us. Unique very nice presentation what a is I want to think What a gentleman. I know this video's a hero. But I think this unit was still doing good job.
And we are 2024.
So I'm gonna research a little more. Thank you so much. Sir
I appreciate that! Glad you found it so helpful
I love the way your channel touches on so much different information. Canning, cooking, freeze drying, animals bees, and off grid info. Thank you.
I'd call this nice YouTubing. No showing off, just a serious down-to-earth review.
Glad you enjoyed
Great idea Eco flow delta pro and 2 Eco flow delta smart battery 10,800 KWH 👍👍👍👍 off the grid please show on RUclips videos
Great 👍 Eco flow delta Max 2 and 2 extra Eco flow delta smart battery
Hi Todd, love your videos. On YT I watch Will Prose, a smart young man. His channel is about solar & batteries. With a LiFePo4 chemistry on the Ecoflow, you said 3000 cycles, correct. You made a mistake concerning the percentage of loss. After 3000 cycles going from 100% - 0 you will reduce only 20%. Meaning 80% capacity after 3000 cycles. I hope this helps, thanks Todd.
Yes, I watch him too. Didn't realize I misspoke. I'll watch it back.
EcoFlow stands behind their products. I know first hand. Unfortunately BLUETTI does not I know firsthand as well in dealing with them. EcoFlow has my business for sure!. They're an excellent company.
Love the videos. I’m excited to watch this one. Love you guys 🥰🥰🥰
Awesome video thanks 😊 Great information
Thank you for sharing 😊
Sooo peaceful there 😌
Love these videos!
Thanks for making all these videos! I really enjoy them.
Excellent presentation. I enjoyed it. Very helpful.
Very well explained,you are a cool gentle man.
Excellent video and information. Thanks for this! Makes purchase decisions a whole lot easier.
How exciting!! Enjoy the weekend! I know Rachel will enjoy spending time with the lil one
love your vlogs!
Hi Todd. Sorry you didn't catch 🪝 any fish. But the video was very interesting. Thank you for sharing solar to us all. God Bless you and hope Rachel is having fun with the baby. Stay healthy. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
Everything sounds awesome glad you were able to purchase something for power on your off grid property
You do such a great job with reviews. You know your product and you give really useful information in a clear way. Thanks!
One of the best in depth reviews I have seen!! Going to try and find more economical panels for it
This is pretty amazing!!!!
Got mine and the extra battery. Its pretty awesome.
Good information.
Todd thank you for the knowledge!! Janell
That is one awesome power station and I am impressed Ecoflow was able to pack in 1024Wh in that small size.
Hey Todd… love you guys and the channel and all the content. Excellent review that sheds a lot of light on the ins and outs of their product. Definately considering purchase next years tax return. Contacted the company and they do not offer financing so we wait
Thanks for the video. I think I do also have a need for a Delta 2. Quite light and powerful and the fact that I can expand the capacity to more than 3kWh.
You explained the capacity so well…
I'm glad, I try to keep things super simple.
such good advice. We have an Ecoflow delta Max and we took it and some solar panels outside to see how it all works. Not hard or complicated, but it was new for us. And you may call me Paranoia Pandora, but I would never link my generator to the internet!
Really sorry about the not good fishing. It's not like you didn't try. Maybe ask your neighbor what lures or bait he was using?
Thank you.... Ive watched and read so much...and I still didn't understand it all well. You did a great job of explaining!
I'm glad. I try to keep things simple, don't do any super scientific testing, because many people need to the learn the basics as well.
Good video Todd!! Bummer about the fishing.
Great info! If you want to do some salmon fishing, come to the Salmon River in Pulaski NY. It's a town not far from us and the fishermen have arrived.
We have bare land that we keep our 5th Wheel camper on. We’re just starting to figure out rain water collecting, solar panels, etc. We do the outhouse as well, but have to do compost bucket style. It’s been a fun couple of years trying to figure out off grid cabin life. Haha
Pups are having a good time!
oh they just ♥ it at the cabin
We’ve been looking for a solar system to run our greenhouse . Thank you for the review.
You're welcome ♥
Great idea
thanks
The cycle life is decreased to 80% not by 80%, the units are still usable after the rated cycles and if you are not cycling it every day the older models will last years. The Delta 2 does look great though.
Thanks Todd I live in the City., Thanks For Sharing 9-16-2022👍🏽😊
I never watch to the end b4 i start asking questions!!! darn it
The only Salmon I’ve ever caught was in Hesperia!!
Outstanding review, in a true off-grid setting.
You have heat from propane and woodstoves.
You have wifi off the phones.
Ever think about a mini water tower so you have running water to the sink and maybe for a brisk outdoor shower? You could pump water into the top of the tank with a hand crank or bicycle chained to a pump. Just need a garden hose to run it into the house and to the top of the tank. You could collect rainwater off the roof. Drain the system in the winter.
Might have to run into town for beer and ice. Though you could start brewing some at home.
We will likely add gutters to the cabin next season, and add some rainwater collection system - so we don't have to walk down to the river to get water for showers.
@@1870s The higher the tank the more water pressure you will get.
You are probably more than 300’ to the river? Otherwise, you could power a motorized pump at the water source below up through garden hoses to house holding tanks above. You can just put shut off valves on each end of the hoses when done and just keep them out there. The pump has to be strong enough to push 300’ of hose water upwards.
I think vertically, the river is about 165' below the cabin. The cabin is also on the highest point of our land.
@@1870s You could try to run garden hoses to the water below. Power a pump and motor below with your system. Leave the hoses lay out there. Just pull them in out of the river. That could give you water to fill water tanks at the cabin. You might have enough hoses to borrow from home to try it, to see if it works. Put in some shut off valves at the ends so you don't lose water in the hoses and can connect it up below.
All I can say is that Ecoflow really did their homework and made the Delta 2 better than the previous and and made it charge faster.
I keep referring Life Uncontained to your reviews and findings.
Learn as you go but you seem to find the best technology.
There is a Amish store on US 10 between Scottville and Ludington if you are ever up that way. I spent 2 hours in there the other day.
you can also charge the ecoflow at a tesla charging port. car lighter port will take 10-12 hours to charge
Cool Video. Will Ecoflow start automatically with charging, if the sun is rising?
16:20 talking about the bi-facial technology. Could you place like a mirror or reflective material back behind the solar panel to reflect more light to the back side??
Absolutely you can, they even have some images on their site about which surfaces work better: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1996/9707/files/220W_2_1800x.jpg?v=1658987459
Nice review. I have two delta pros. I did notice around 13 mins your delta 2 is showing it’s set to 50 hz instead of 60. You might want to double check that I thinks (not an expert) but in the USA we are on 60.
Yes, I discovered that when I got home. Having some issues getting it to change to 60hz. The screen says 60 now, but when I put a meter on it it's still showing 50hz. I've contacted EdoFlow tech support to see what's up.
Those salmon you should try drifting an egg sacks or flys. Just a tip. FISH ON !!😊
How did you wire the extension cord to the panel?
Hi Todd! Great presentation. My husband was wondering how you are running this to the house? Do you have some type of plug in for your electric box?
there's a electrical cord running from the fuse box, underground to the shed with a section of extension cord wired to the end of it - to plug in
How long will this run
a dometic electric cooler for off grid camping..also a cell phone & iPad without having to charge it
I have not heard of this company before, my first question is how is the warranty? I have been using one company for many years due to great customer service, great product, and fabulous warranty. It is also amazing how little someone might find they need when not using grid power, like your cabin.
This particular unit comes with a 5 year warranty. EcoFlow and Bluetti have both pretty much cemented the top 2 spots currently, for best unit.
🤗💞
does the eco-flow have a timer ? like to run it for 3 hours then off for 4 then on for 3 ? for a freezer? i read that if you put a timer on a freezer and have it on for one hour, the freezer stays cold for 4 hours.
I don't think it has that type of timer built in. we used to do this exact thing at home when we would lose power, with our gas powered Honda. If you don't open freezers they stay cold for quite a while.
Hey, would putting your solar panels on a solar blanket help to absorb more of a “back charge”?
Absolutely you can, they even have some images on their site about which surfaces work better: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1996/9707/files/220W_2_1800x.jpg?v=1658987459
Does the Delta 2 only have the option of adding 1 battery on? * * Is it capable of adding on a Delta Max 2000; capability of adding on a Pro battery? Thank for the great/informative video!
you can add the Delta 2 Expansion battery for an extra 1024Wh, or the Delta Max battery for an addition al ~2k Wh
If a person didn't have electricity but they had a well would that thing be able to hook up somehow to your electrical and get water in your house
most well pumps run off 220V. this only provide 1/2 of that voltage, so you'd need a completely different setup to run a well.
What would you recommend for a regular home? We are trying to decide which type of generator to get. I know it’s hard to find anything that can run a whole home. My husband looked into getting a generator that connects to the natural gas line but it’s $20k. That’s out of our budget. Having gas or propane will only work as long as you have fuel. So we thought of Solar, but if it’s not sunny out it won’t work well.
We have been trying to find info on best type to have in case of crisis/grid shut downs etc. just haven’t found what might be the best option.
Government is giving people solar panels but I would not trust anything from the government.
Thoughts? Would love some guidance. JR
We went with the generac, it is an investment for sure. Before that we've ran our freezers off our Blue Etti and Honda generators and went without for everything else.
@@1870s do you like this or the blue etti better?
The big bluetti we have twice the size and weight. So it's great for at home. For the cabin, we like smaller more portable units. I would stay away from anything with traditional lithium batteries and go with the lithium iron phosphate for sure tho. Most new Bluetti all have the iron ones now.
We got a generac natural gas whole house generator, we have a large farmhouse, several freezers, AC, water well pump, the whole generator installed was $12k.
So check around with other electricians, $20k sounds like too much.
@@1870s thank you so much for your input. We will look deeper into this. We just don’t want to wait too long. Praying we make the right choice.
With the EcoFlow systems, is the App only available for Apple devices, as an example? The App will not work on Android devices (I have a Samsung 5G cell)?
works on both apple and android. my phone is a Pixel 6 Pro for ref.
With solar panels now past expiration date and useless sitting at landfills waiting on, how to discard without pollution, Have you looked onto taking electricity out of the air for home using electric wiring already in homes?
I would be appreciate if you tell , can I run Delta2 while I charging it by solar panel?
Yes, absolutely.
Thank you!
what solar panels do you have?
which ones? the Rigid ones I showed briefly - those are these amzn.to/3S9DIKG wired in Series they come in at around 40V @ 9.8A
Maybe your neighbor fed the fish before you got there :) or you just weren't hungry enough.
Hi Todd
♥
Salmon or trout?
Those were salmon, but there's some big ole brown trout in there too, and some brookies
@@1870s crazy! I grew up in Washtenaw county and we only had blue hill, bass, perch and catfish.
