EcoFlow Delta 2 Failed | Do Not Buy | Build

- In this episode, we take a look at the EcoFlow Delta 2 portable power station. This power station was in use for several months running a mini split, but suddenly decided to fail without notice. Now it won't take a charge. It won't turn on or have any response.
It seems like a good power station when it works, but so far almost every portable power station I've had had some type of failure. Which is why I encourage people to build their own power station because it is user serviceable and can be repaired rather quickly without having to go through support process.

Have you tried to hook it to solar? The battery BMS might have tripped and you might have to "jump start it"
How would you do that?
I guess solar is over.@@thetonys
You have to open it up, then jump start the BMS because it was locked due to low voltage.
I have played around and fixed a few of these units if you get no support take the top grey case off and side panels and first try to re seat the connectors especially the one to the main display
I’m not sure if the delta 2 has the same bms as the delta max but that unit has 2 test buttons on the side of it the first one on the left runs some kind of test function that will momentarily open the relay to the main positive and negative going to the inverter and dc board allowing you to read the dc voltage with a meter so you can check the pack voltage
The second button on the Right turns the screen on and off
Hope this helps
I have two Delta's. The Delta 1300 and this one with 2 spare batteries. I've had the Delta for almost a year and the Delta II for about 6 months. I've had no troubles with mine. Sounds like a blown fuse. You didn't mention how you've had it. If it isn't in warranty, open it up from the top and see what you can see. Like suggested below.. have you connect a panel to it..?
I had the same problem with my Delta 2 powering an electric water heater. I suspect that the occasional high load messed up my Delta 2. I did have warranty but sending it in was a pain as well. I went to 3 different FedExs before one of them told me that I had to call and have it picked up. None of the FedExs would ship lithium batteries, only pickup would do that.
I'm no longer a fan of EcoFlow. I have their Wave 2 AC and I've had to send that one back for warranty as well!
Both sent back for warranty exchange within the first year of ownership for each.
Mine also failed within 4mo of just sitting on charger waiting for emergency.
Did they replace it or fix it for you? I just bought one I hope they do.
I have had my EcoFlow Delta Max for almost 2 years now. I have never had any issues with it. I even bought it through eBay as a refurbished unit and they included an EcoFlow 110Watt solar panel. I never drain my battery completely and normally keep it charged around 80% I do cycle it down to 50% every 6 months and then up to 100% to do a fresh cycle. Never let the battery get below 20% and it can last you so many years!
I have a BluEtti and the EcoFlow just blows it out of the water! I guess some people just either get a bad Unit or just don't take care of the power station properly? Did you try to call EcoFlow and tell them about your issue and have them trouble shoot your power station?
I charge mine to 98% and down to 8% every day is this a bad thing to do? I ask because you mention you never let the battery get below 20% why not? , I am curious to know if I am doing something wrong or bad, I want to prolong the life of my Delta 2 Max ( i have 2 of them) they work fine but like i said I do charge them once a day upto 98% and use them all day till they get to about 8% then recharge again to 98%, thanks for your feedback or anyone that is familiar with charging and recharging the right way for daily use, I don't store my Units, but use them daily. thanks again for any help and feedback
@@HumbleLife8 Everything I've owned and read that use lithium batteries need to stay between 40-ish percent to 80% to get maximum life of these types of batteries. I wouldn't drain it to that low and especially for long term storage. That's why when you buy rechargeable battery gadgets they usually ship it in a 30-40% state.
@@ArceezRC what if I use these batteries 24/7 365 days, I usually go from 90% Charge to 20% discharge and then recharge, but I do this daily as I use them all day everyday. so far they work out well, 40% to 80% seems to low, but I dont know which is why I ask, I find alot of people do the 20% to 90%, I dont store my batteries just use daily, lmk thanks for your feedback
@@HumbleLife8 that's fine that you use it like that. The 40-80% range is when you're not using it for an extended period of time (storage state).
@@ArceezRC ah ok thanks so much for taking the time to respond @AcreezRC,
I had a different power station that failed. Someone else with the same issue had to make a video of the problem and send it to the manufacturer before he uploaded footage of that video to RUclips. So I figured it was not an easy fix I would be able to do. It was a lower price power station and probably 2 years old so I currently have no plans to do anything with it. Sucks that they aren't made to be fail proof though at the price you pay for them.
And all that dirty fuel ⛽️ ecoflow use sending the units back and forth Germany, to Spain, Germany to Spain, Germany to Spain, Germany to Spain, Germany to Spain Spain to Spain Germany to Spain Germany to Spain
carbon footprint 👣 🤦🏻♂️
God know how many I’ve sent black I lost count
But this replacement they just sent me as a warning lights on it and now I’ve just been told to send it back yet again
I wish i just bought a petrol generator at the beginning
I couldn't agree more. There are so many Power Stations out there but i can't bring myself to spend at least 1000.00 when I can buy a few LIFEPO4 batteries and get more power for cheap.
I have one with the same problem it turns on when you put it into ac outlet or solar panel but the battery will not charge, so was thinking it was the cell rebuild it with new cell it was doing the same thing get to no that the bms have problems It has software locked on the system, I put aftermarket bms works turn on it was not charging form ac
I had the Delta 2 battery fail with the ! Light. Now the smart battery add on just died. 2 for 2. Least I built my own too
I think it makes sense to just build your own with reliable components and self serviceable. but some people just need stuff off the shelf. Which mass market power stations would work for them
@@tgbatgagreed. The smaller form factor is handy but my DIY setup has been solid. Even with the warranty I have to wonder if it’s just 6 months away from a paperweight after that expires
Last time I checked Ecoflow products have a 5 year warranty. Instead of making a useless youtube video why not initiate a warranty return? Stuff does break!
I have a broken Ecoflow. The warranty is 2 years, not 5. I have about 5 cycles on the batteries and have it for emergency use only. It failed. Ecoflow will not replace or repair the unit (even if the service department charges). Terrible for how much this costs. My DIY solution that is much older and has hundreds of cycles works fine.
Posting misinformation is a waste of everyone's time stop making useless post
@@chunger169 I checked the website it says 5 years for the Ecoflow Delta 2. At least in Europe, maybe it's different in the US.
@@chunger169 Agree. I have a Delta and I've replaced it TWICE....I have no confidence that it will work when I need it in an emergency. I have a RIVER that seems to now not be holding a charge. Both of these are less than 5 years. I won't buy another ECOFLOW.
I sent a delta 2 in under warranty and they sent me back a extra battery.
There after sales service absolutely blows. They sent me back a extra battery when I sent them my delta 2
My delta 2 no longer works. Can i take that lfp battery and connect it to another mppt and inverter?
mine just died today :-( a little over a year old and i only use it for backup for pc... very disapointing..
Cost depends! These companies already have an advantage of being able to get the parts much cheaper. Because they buy these parts in bulk. And we already know when a customer by things in bulk, they get the individual items much cheaper.
Than there is the convenience of getting everything with a push of a button. And most people don't have the expertise of putting together a system.
Then there is space. If you buy all these things separately, you have to make more space for them. And that is a problem for more and more people who live in apartments.
And more and more people are traveling for work. They do not want to have to move different parts around. It is a hassle.
I had built systems in the past and I prefer the eco flow. They have a warranty if something goes wrong and you have an option to extend it past two years. You also have access to customer support during business hours.
With individual products like an inverter, a battery, a solar controller, ect. You have to contact each individual company if something goes wrong.
Eco flow and it competitors always have discounts on their products, because they are a big company. So you actually might be paying more if you go with individual parts, besides what I mentioned earlier.
Good luck.
I have ecoflow product for the most part I like them. But there is no doubt you can build a system cheaper, not to mention if you are building a system your probably just gonna buy all the separate pieces all from the same company ( victron, EG4 etc. ) that way they can help with support and walk you through each component instead of calling 4 different companies for different support.
@lanceboudreau3630 You can build a system cheaper. But you have to cut cost on certain components to stay ahead. It is worth it, if you want the flexibility of adding capacity vs convenience.
Note: It starts to get more expensive as you add more Eco Flow to match the capacity that you really need. And where your own system begins to start being cheaper.
Had mine a little over a month and now its flashing red explanation point and temperature gauge.... won't charge edit: I had it plugged into a heater and it went to zero percent and wouldnt charge...after unplugging and letting it sit for about an hour (I guess to reset) it started to charge again from zero percent.
I just got one on Wednesday tried using it yesterday and now I have the same flashing exclamation point ! So mad! I really needed it yesterday!
How does it ends?
Same thing with my delta 2. Where is the fuse? My breaker is also not tripped.
Bro if it's broke warranty it. If it's out of warranty then open it up. You seem handy enough.
I can say I had the same issue and I had a horrible experience with customer service took almost 7 months to get my new one
wish i could buy another multiplus or rack mount unit ... still works but keeps inverter busy out of standby mode when pair for backup.. so things did not went as planned... maybe if i plan roadtrips might change a bit of my mind!!!
well if it's not working link me up with it. I will get it working
what di ecoflow do?
For everyone asking why he didn’t initiate a warranty claim, I think that is part of his complaint, he did and got no customer service.
I am concerned because my switch has been working off and on.
I only had one time i had to call customer service it was a new unit that i received that had a chip in the display, it took a week to get a replacement and absolutely no problems. No extra cost at all. And its a 5 year warrantee.

Please create a Single Panel (400W/30Voc) Solar/AC input generator with 2KWh LFP and at least a single 1500W/120V output. Purpose is Low cost MiniSplitCooler AC support.
You lost me at “you should build your own” 😂
I’ve been looking into solar power generators, but very hesitant.
Especially with all the battery 🔥’s
With gas, it may make a bit of noise,
But it will work - @ Night, cloudy or otherwise!
But you can't forget gas is only good for 6 months
I own an EcoFlow Delta Max and absolutely love it. I have had mine almost 2 years and if you take care of it and not over charge or just plain abuse it. It will last you many years!
@@ryangreen3332 That's true. Just gotta weigh the pros and cons. With batteries, they have a shelf life too and owners gotta be disciplined to keep it between 40-80% for long term storage purposes.
I have the same problem with my delta 2
You are literally the only one I know that has this issue. The only one. I'm calling total bullshit.
I don't get this all? Why didn't he file a WARRANTY CLAIM?
I have one,it's a peace of set,don't buy
@gregory4154 update ...they did send me another one.i think all ecoflow are not good at cold.mine got fail at 19 degrees
@@gregory4154 no he is not, read all the comments, LOTS of issues, esp on FB
Of course, it failed. All Ecoflow products use cheap high-frequency, transformerless inverter technology that's only good for a couple of years' worth of use at most. You should have purchased a low frequency, transformer-based inverter charger instead.
I stopped buying them for this reason
Dont buy i have one,i really regret
sorry
Sounds like got blown fuse
Nah, because is sending power when it's connected to the wall
Haha very unlucky
Came across this video as mine is dead now after 2 years…never buying these portable generators again
Mine died too. . . right on cue after warranty. Only has about 5 cycles (emergency use). It was kept plugged into AC to be ready in case of emergency.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
End of an era for Eco Flow.
Sooooo
