    Little bit of a stretch on the comparison, pretty much apples to oranges between these two model. It's kinda like comparing a sports car to a diesel truck and each one has their advantages.
    The Anker has excellent build quality and I love the quiet fans. I hope ALL companies move towards silent operation. I also love how clean the power output is on the inverter. It's one of the best inverters I have ever tested. I love the 5 yr warranty was well, BUT the EcoFlow also has a 5 year warranty.
    The main disadvantage, in my opinion, is the 60VOC limit on the 767. Using third party solar panels it is almost impossible to hit the 1000w mark, I have only ever been able to get 650w or so. Basically... the only way to get the full 1000 watts of solar input is to purchase five of their 'Anker 531' 200 watt solar panels and connect them together in parallel. Those panels only cost $550 each so you'd need $2750 worth of panels to get max charging.
    Thanks for the video! I enjoyed the conversation. Certainly different models have pros and cons for each use case so discussing these points will help others make the best decision.

      Thanks for your insight! I do appreciate it. I showed in the video you can use the ecoflow 400w panel. Three of those and you’ll max out 1kw.. even a little over but it will stop at 1kw. Obviously the ecoflow panel design is awful but it’s still an option, being a 48v panel.

    • @Jasonoid
      @Jasonoid Год назад +8

      @@TommyCallaway each of those 400w panels put out 40v @ 10 amps, so putting two of them together will give you 40v @ 20 amps (800 watts)... which is hitting the 20 amp charging limit on the Anker767. You can't connect three of those panels because the amperage would be well over the 20 amp limit. It's basically maxed out with two panels.

    You mentioned the price compared to capacity, and the big weight difference that's made even clearer by your face expressions. I think it's also important to underline that the Ecoflow has 80% more capacity than the Anker, and weighs "just" 48% more. So Ecoflow has packed more in the same volume, and that's usually always more expensive in general.

      100% agree. I have 14.4kWh of back up (two DP’s & two Xtra DP batteries) connected to my smart home panel, with discharge/charge limits currently set to 15%/85%.. replenished by 20 rooftop panels between 8am-4pm, powering 10/16 household circuits from 4pm till 8am each day, with an average of 25-35% capacity still remaining by morning.
      In the rare off chance my rooftop solar is not working *and* there’s an outage, I like that I have the option of bringing DP units to an EV charging station with the Xtream/J1772 adapter that I have as alternate means of sourcing power (assuming they’ll have power when I don’t).
      I’ve found so far, that 14.4kWh of back up is more than sufficient for my home’s daily energy usage, powering essential and nonessential appliances 16 hours/day 4pm-8am, with ~60% of available capacity remaining before recharging off of roof top solar.. averaging about 5.8kWh per day, and could have just used 2 DP’s/7.2kWh, but wanted the option to supply emergency power to my EV’s, so I opted to double my capacity to 14.4kWh. I’ve considered adding two more DP Xtra batt’s for 21.6kWh, but haven’t found the need for more capacity at the moment.
      I also have a EF portable solar panel and DP 1300 for light duty back up/camping use.
      Overall, I’ve been quite happy with my EcoFlow Smart Panel / 14.4kWh Delta Pro back up, and the ROI created by offsetting peak usage and grid usage overall. It’s nice knowing these units will eventually pay for themselves, while providing the peace of mind of essential home battery back up.

    When I first heard about the Anker 767 I thought to myself, I love Anker and I would really like to get it, then I did a comparison to the Eco Delta Pro (I already have 2 with extra batteries). The Delta Pro was far superior in capacity (3600Wh vs Anker’s 2048Wh), inverter (3600W with surge up to 7200W vs Anker’s measly 2400W), solar input (1600W vs Anker’s 1000W), and the solar panels automatically turn the unit on. There’s no way I’ll be able to replace my Delta Pros for the Anker, it would be a major downgrade. EcoFlow have a much cheaper and lighter Delta Max (I have 2 of them with 3 extra batteries) that competes with the Anker Powerhouse 767.

    Good video! But the cycling thresholds and speed are not dependent on what type of semiconductor is in the charging circuit. It is more efficient, but the charging rate is largely determined by chemistry, cell design, temperature and current handling of charge circuit. And of course the supply. Not the type of semiconductor.

    I have the Anker 767 and love it and I did look at the ECOFLOW and the sound was the key. I use it in my Thor Sanctuary 19P and you can barely hear the Anker 767. The problem I is I cannot power my RV with it. The engineers at Thor say it is Anker that is wired wrong and the engineers at Anker say it is Thor RV Surge protection that is preventing it from powering the RV. I could care less who is right or wrong, just as long as it works. I tried the bonding ground plug by Watchdog and Southwire, both didn't work. So keep that in mind, while the Anker 767 is cheaper and works great, if you plan on power an RV, it will be challenging. I have not got mines to work. I also feel that it can do it, I am just not smart enough to figure it out. When I tested my Anker with a receptable tester, it said that reversed polarity but plugged in, it says correct wired, confusing (I would assume, it is grounded in the house). If anyone knows how to solve this issue, please advice. Also, for the solar, the Anker solar panels are heavy, he made them look like they were lightweight, don't know which ones he have, but the 200watts ones have some good weight to them. They work great. I don't regreat getting the Anker, it is so portable and useful and the I gotta give the techs at Anker their props, if I can only figure out the issues with power my RV.

    @JP-uo8pi Год назад +14

    I have 2 Ecoflow Pro plus 2 extra batteries for each, connected to a smart panel, been hooked up for just over a month. The fan speed seems to be impacted only by the amount of power being drawn (or charged), not by the ambient temperature. The batteries can be 56°, (according to the app), yet the fans will still come on full blast. Seems like they should be able to control speed by a software update, but it probably depends on where the sensors are inside. better to error on the side of too much cooling than not enough, I guess. The longer I have these things the more I learn about batteries and electricity.

      It is not cooling the batteries. Inverters create a lot of heat, and the ecoflow having such a large inverter makes active cooling a huge need. Go find any inverter that can consistently put out 3600w needs a lot of cooling. Go look at any stand alone inverter and there is a huge difference between a 2000w inverter and anything over 3000w.

    Unfortunately, the Anker's a deal breaker since it doesn't offer auto-start solar charging :' ( Also, when choosing a portable power station, people need to make sure the items they want to plug into the PPS will "actually" run for a while.

    I’d buy the Anker, but thing is, Ecoflow just released this alternator charger product that quickly charges their Delta units, and also does the opposite, it takes energy from the Delta to keep the car battery charged. This would allow me to keep the car AC on while camping. But that noise…. Did it got better?

    Thank you very much. I do not yet own a home battery generator. A question I have had for quite some time is --- My need is for occasional (not very often) basic home emergency power (cell phones, fan, etc). What I have not found addressed is what is the long-term power management for such a battery generator, which may not be used for many months, so --- do you leave it connected to AC power 100% of the time for months on end, without "using" the battery, waiting for an emergency, or is there some form of periodic use that you must perform to help drain the battery, then recharge it to full power? In other words, just how is the battery to be maintained for months on end, over years, when the battery is not being used very much? Thank you.

      You’re supposed to do a full drain and charge once every 3 months. Otherwise you can just leave it plugged in.

    This is really not a fare comparison. The DP is a much larger in size, capacity and weight, compared to the Anker. Also, the DP is marked for total home back-up, the Anker is not. As to the cooling fans being loud, I guess that depends on the location of the unit. Our DP is in the basement, connected to two manual transfer switches. So, when the cooling fans turn on, we don't hear them unless in the area.
    The DP has a total of four cooling fans. Two fresh air intake fans and two exhaust fans. (Not sure of the names of the fans) Heat is what kills batteries.

    The Deltas fan are loud but if it protects my investment than I don't mind it so much. I run two Delta Pros, what I ended up doing was adding a sound barrier to the bottom of the laundry room door and putting up sound dampeners on the wall. Can't really hear it anymore throughout the house. The fans on the delta are louder than my heat pump water heater.

    have you had any trouble with the AC inverter turning off randomly? i have 2 of these units and when either one is connected to my transfer switch via the tt-30r outlet and running circuits in my home the inverter will just randomly shut off. It only happens when powering the transfer switch via the tt-30r port or when i turn the AC inverter on with nothing connected to the device. Anker customer service said the 767 or F2000 as it is now called isn't designed to be hooked to a transfer switch. I can't understand why it wouldn't be able too.

  • @solarcharging9743
    @solarcharging9743 Год назад

    Both of these solar generators use low cost, high frequency, low surge inverters that run much hotter and have no output transformer. High frequency inverters are fine for running light, non inductive, loads like a laptop, charging your phone or powering incandescent lights etc, but powering the inductive loads that you will probably want to run during a prolonged power outage like refrigerators, microwaves, power tools or motors will damage these high frequency solar generators and WILL seriously shorten their life expectancy. They simply were not designed for repeatedly powering inductive loads. That's why the big name brand inverter manufacturers like Schneider Electric, Outback Power, Magnum Energy and others, all use a low frequency topology in their designs. Another consideration is that the vast majority of these solar generators are non-repairable. At a typical shop rate of $125 per hour, with no schematic and limited parts availability, it makes no economic sense to even attempt to repair one of these units. Once the FETs have fried on one of these units, (And trust me, sooner rather than later, they will fry.) they basically become a brick. A much better choice is to spend a little more money and buy or build a solar generator that uses a low frequency, transformer based inverter instead. It will last far, far longer and you will be able to power high inductive loads that you're going to need to power, during a power outage.

I have a Bluetti EB3A unit and having some issue with it. From many of Bluetti user, they also having issue with their customer service (like no response or ignore with email request.. etc). I hope Anker is not one of these company which great to sell you their product and horrible in customer service afterward (if needed). Thank you again for your review. I really enjoyed.

      If you are worried about warranty buy ecoflow delta pro from costco. Costco recognizes ecoflow products as generators. So it falls under costco lifetime warranty for generators. I know this from personal experience. Bought one for rv camper but when tried using for camper unable to power my ac units so returned 9 months later no hassle to my local costco.

  • @imolazhp11
    @imolazhp11 Год назад +1

    We’ve seen EV owners hook up inverters to their 12v’s and power small loads like the Anker 767 will do. My question is since the 767 has the inverter built in, could one theoretically use the solar DC input for the 767 as a way to recharge from an EV’s 12v?
    In other words, power goes out, use the 767 initially and if the outage persists, then hook it up to your EV to extend run time during the outage. Thoughts?

    • @doorgoo
      @doorgoo Год назад

      Yes and no.
      First issue is at 12v you could never pull a meaningful amount of energy. Generally the 12v system on ANY car can only supply 150-200w through a barrel, and even if you could hook into the 12v battery directly, it probably would still be limited by the transfer rate from the high voltage battery to the low voltage without damaging anything.
      Second is you could tie into the high voltage pack (dangerous) unless you have a special charger that can work in reverse like the ford lightning. This would be most ideal in general. Lastly, these units have a limit as to how much they can take in on solar. So you maybe still exceed how quickly the battery can charge.

    Nice review. While I too would choose the Anker over the EF for many of the same reasons as you… it may be helpful to know that the Anker is 20A rated at the “RV” plug whereas the EF is 30A rated. I use a generator to run the 120V of my house when we lose power (we’re in Hawaii). The number of available amps can make difference for your total loads.

    • @TommyCallaway
      @TommyCallaway  Год назад

      Totally valid point.. 120v @ 20 amps would max out the inverter. Confusing specs it seems, though it is marketed as 30A.

    From my prespective, i think, powerstations are years old in technology. They are asking alot of money for the technology that their selling.

      If you fully charged and depleted it 0 to 100% every single day, it should still last 10 years. Warranty is 5 years, lifespan rated at 10. It should last longer than that if you use it less. It’s worth buying to me, though i don’t know your situation or reason for buying, that’s up to you.
      IMO, in 10 years, we will be much further ahead in battery tech anyways, and I’ll probably upgrade my tech before then, so it should last the entire time I plan to own it without issue.
