anymore to give away ? lol I would donate to those in the mountain, who don't have electricity in Thailand rural area cos the power line isn't reach there yet in our 21st century :P
Im a caregiver. ill be using this to Keep my communication on line "frequent power outages" Staying online for medical emergencies. Love your stuff keep it up.
then your an idiot, it is just a battery and inverter. It will run out of juice and then you are stuck.. you will be pulling the genset out and running it to charge this overpriced crap. In other words, USE THE GENSET TO BEGIN WITH. 1300$$$ wtf
@@JSabh Use you Generator while camping and you have 5 minutes until someone will shout at you until you leave the premises. Also you could charge it via a generator or while driving or by your Solar System
I would use it when I go ice fishing during the winter. It's really hard to find a way to get power out on the lake where I have my tip-ups. It would be really nice to take this out and set it up in my hut and use it for powering lights and small cooking appliances. Then I could recharge it during the day with some solar panels!
Fantastic compact solution. I'm a locksmith and I see this as the perfect solution for powering up small tools on the mobile service. Keep it up. Great reviews!
My level of knowledge when it comes to electronics is still in its infancy! I’ve tried using just a 12v deep cycle marine battery on my small Popup camper with an inverted, and it is so frustrating that I cannot last more than 1 night out camping. This would be so great to have! Please choose me!
I just turned 17. Off grid 64 sq ft cabin. My new Dad started me watching your awesome channel. He's a believer! He and my new Mom took me on a 6 month trip from Tx/Mx border to Bahamas on a 30 ft off grid sailboat. Now Dad's helping me build my own home in the Texas woods. It's only 8'x8' with a loft over a porch the same size. We'll put it on RUclips for diy's if they want to build one too. Dad's channel is (houses built tiny). This cool battery pack is all I will need for my complete electric. :-) if you choose me I'll make sure others see it installed on RUclips when we are done. Either way, I really enjoy your videos. Especially the ones on the battery skateboards. Awesome!
you can get (12.8volts) 4 cells of 280 AH of lithium lifepo4 off alibaba or aliexpress for $481 shipped. so get 2 of those and you have 12.8 and 560 AH or 25.6 volts and 280 AH, throw in a bms and an inverter and the cost can be about the same as this. for reference the product in the video is 90 AH and probably 12.8 volts so DIY you get like 7x as much battery storage plus charging it and discharging it is faster with great current pull, so HARD PASS on these "epic" products.

You are amazing. Your reviews are like no one else’s and I really like them. They give me insights I cannot get anywhere else. I am also amazed at how easily you strip items down and get them back together again. I wish you were my neighbor so I could learn everything from you and then have you fix what I did wrong. 🤣
I would give it to my friend who is looking to build their own tiny house and need a small, light, easy-to-use power source for cooking food and powering lights. They are trying to figure out how to DIY their own solution but it is not working out well... This could get them started and once they have it up and running, can focus on making their own version.
My wife works online teaching special ed students...I would use it to keep her going during our very common power outages. love your vids Jehu...super talented man.
I will use it to cook my meals. I'm currently homeless and living in my mom's truck that doesn't run. I currently have a 90ah marine deepcycle battery with a 2k watt inverter. I can't run the microwave for more than 5 minutes. I have solar panels connected to it but it doesn't help it much. I have to connect jumper cables from my car to finish cooking my food.
I’ve always wanted to build a battery but don’t have the time working 7 days a week. I’ve built many battery packs with you vicariously with all your builds. One day I’ll get around to building my own or win this one to start. Thanks for reading.
Hi Jehu. Thank you for the comprehensive review. I really liked the tear down/re-build. It's something that very few creators in this space are doing. If I win, I would like give this to my grandmother who is 96 years old and uses a CPAP machine. Thank you for continuing to provide great content.
Jesus, I am posting again because of the potential life saving impact the Delta 1300 could have. My wife requires the full time use of an oxygen concentrator. We have a small generator as a backup for power outages, but the solar charge aspect of this would be such an amazing relief to know that she could breath when the sun is out AND at night with the batteries should power be lost for an extended period. Thanks for considering. I am in the process of building one of your power packs regardless. You are doing a great service to all DIY’ers.
Saludos even tho I can use this in Florida due to the power outage frequency here I will give it away to my mom in 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico since she has been without power since the hurricane Maria. She is using now 4 panels from harbor freight an inverter and 2 deep cycle batteries it works but not too reliable as you can imagine.. great content Jehu
I am self employed in construction and the uses for it could be many from running saws , lighting , charging battery packs use it on jobs where power is not available. Also I'm going on a road trip this summer so it would be my main source of power for everything . I would be very grateful and take good care of it . Thank you
I'm beginning to build out my car to do car camping and travel on a budget. Having this would allow me to go longer without connecting to the grid and further my travels! Thanks Jehu
I am in IT and was for a long time in search of a backup solution, while I do an EV conversation myself at the moment (thanks to you) I think this would be great to allow my machines to gracefully shutdown over a power outage. I would also connect a small always on server and my home surveillance to this! Thank you for any consideration. You are the best EV channel on line rn, because you are down to earth and honest. Moreso than Rich even!
I would use it for my partner who uses a C-PAP breathing machine and other medical equipment at night. This battery backup would make sure that during the night the C-PAP breathing machine and other medical equipment always has power, thus ensuring a good night sleep every night. This would also help whenever we go camping and need the battery backup at night for the C-PAP breathing machine and medical equipment and can charge with solar panels during the day. This would help my partner be less controlled by their disabilities and more free to be adventurous and experience life!
spending that much money jus for when camping? 99% of people dont got that kinda money.. good for you.. here where i am we get $10 a day for 8 hours of work
Wow that is the best one I've seen. I am a retired electronic tech living in my 1976 Chevy step van and I would use it to have all the comforts that are not possible with 2 marine batteries and 300 watts of solar.I love to travel and soc sec is my only income... it takes a long time to save for something as fancy as the Ecoflo. Good job on the break down and putting it thru the paces.....
My mom lives in el Salvador, where earthquakes are really common and usually the electric grid is the most affected, I'm a Diy guy too and Im looking something that can be affordable and easy for her to use it. Hope you pick me, thanks jehu
This backup system would be a great addition to our off grid system we are now using. I would use it to make sure I am able to keep my refrigerator running when the sun has not shined for several days. I need the refrigerator to keep my insulin from going bad otherwise living without power for a few days wouldn't be to much of an issue. Thanks for giving all your viewer an opportunity to make their life a little easier.
Wow, I'm so lucky found your channel, you're amazing man and so creative. my father will be very happy to get this as a gift, He will be feel so lucky & gratefull. He is an handyman, He is water maker, he know's how to make the house and other building get the water in. he is also know how get electricity to the house. he is handyman like you. but you're more faster, and already make your own brand. Respect.
Oh my goodness, I love the way you demonstrate taking these pieces apart. Thank you, so much. It’s kind of complicated for me, because I’m not really tool/implement saavy so when you’re disassembling these it takes a little longer for me to absorb it all.
What a wonderful gift; so nice of you during this uncertain time. I WOULD use it for ALL my emergencies. I live with my spoiled dog, Bella, and this would be such a relief to know I'll have this during emergencies. Thanks so much, Kathy
I would use it to power my DIY work room. This is where I do all my projects. This is where I solder and make all my battery packs using my DIY spot welder. I would also use it as an emergency power supply to watch your videos during power outages.
First off, I just want to say Thank You! I recently started playing with the idea of converting my 65 Ranchero into an EV and I started watching you and Michael at EV West, Great information! I've learned so much in a very short time, Again Thank You! Now.... were I to be the winner, I would be able to put it to use in multiple ways. But I suspect I would do just about exactly what you've done..... Take it apart to see what ideas I could glean! Keep up the Great work! I've got a lot to learn.
Our high school AP physics class has a project called 20-time, based on google's concept of allowing employees to dedicate %20 of their time to a project that interests them. Our group has been trying to research the different needs fulfilled by gasoline generators and electric batteries. We can easily obtain a generator for use in research; however, our school has been understandably apprehensive, especially because of the eLearning brought on by the virus, on funding an expensive battery pack. This pack would help us research the advantages and disadvantages of battery packs and generators, and allow us to pursue our first choice project. Also, we could have a damn cool camping trip after the virus passes by!
I am a scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 57 out of Missouri. This item would be great for my leaders to help keep their phones and other gear that they need to be charged and to run lights. Most of our camp sites that we stay at for multiple days and sometimes up to a week have no electricity. To be self sustained would be great. There would be multiple more ideas that we could use this for. Thank you always enjoy the videos keep up the good work.
I am an Amature Radio Operator and do field contests and Emergency radio communications as in when we were hit with an ICE Storm witch took down hydro towers and hydro pole and phone line pole along with damage to power stations extra. So we were in our cars, snowmobiles and moble tents. We needed car batteries and switching them out and using generators to try and charge them, Hope this a good reason for this setup....Keep up the great videos.
I know what you mean exactly. At 45 years old I had a heart attack and it was 100% because if sleep apnea. . it's a blessing I have the bipap machine now. I never knew what real sleep was until I git it. Very very difficult to get used to but now I'm addicted. This unit is what every person like this needs.
I gotta say, I'm so impressed by how many giveaways you do for your viewers. Awesome stuff! I've been saving towards making a campervan with the goal of it being completely sustainable off grid through atleast 400Watts of solar. I'd love to use something like this as a power bank, however, going DIY is a lot of fun but has its risks for people who have not done it before.
Been looking at other models of solar generators but so many are out of stock. There is only myself and my wife at home but Im the only one working and she is out of work due to health conditions. Money is tight so winning this unit would be such a big help. I watch all your videos and find them very informative. Keep up the great work. With the country (even the world) my prayer is we all can survive the pandemic. This unit would be greatly appreciated in the worse case scenario that we were to lose power at some point. God bless you and your channel.
I live in Florida and have to deal with hurricanes on an almost yearly basis. This type of device would be very helpful in providing temporary power to keep our devices charged during the blackouts that follow. Because of it's large capacity, I would most-likely utilize it to power a portable refrigerator to help keep my Insulin cool. The challenge with insulin is it needs to stay cool, but cannot be frozen.
I actually sent you an email a month ago, but I used my tax return to get my first solar set up to help the community when stuff huts the fan and asked if you could help with getting parts so I went with a 200w solar panel and a 500w power bank. Winning this will help big time!
I'd use this to be able to show my friends and neighbors that batteries and solar don't have the limitations they think they do. Only way to get people to switch away from fossil fuels is to let them see for themselves the alternative already exists! People like you are doing a great job of that, keep it up!!!!
Very impressive unit and thanks for letting us see all the potential it has. I would use this during hurricane season where we could go days without power. I could see this very useful for that situation as well as helping out the neighbors around me who experience the same issues as me during that season. As always, great videos.
If we were to receive this gift from you, it would used daily to power our PC's, Laptops and LED lighting in our Van on the road! Thanks for all you share and do you for others, you Power Rock!
I would use it in two ways: The first as an extended power source in the case of emergency (storms, hurricanes,) where fuel may be limited in its availability. Secondly, I would use to power weekend getaways. Thanks again for the opportunity and I really do enjoy your videos.
You are a legend for spreading this knowledge and bringing battery tech to the common folk, Jehu. Love your livestreams. Deffo need a battery and solar panels like this for when the grid inevitably fails.
I would use it on so many things, camping, house as a back up, for my garage shop, for the VW shows, the possibilities are endless thanks for the videos cheers !!!!
I'm traveling back and forth from St.louis Missouri to Tyler Texas to visit my 93 year old mother I stay in my van as I can't afford motels anymore and pay for gas there and back so this battery would be a game changer for me. I need to charge my phone, and I have a implant in my back that has to be charged every day for a half hour. Thank you love the information I learn from your channel.
I love this battery. I have a small place all the way in the back of my yard that doesn’t have electricity, so this would be a nice gadget to use when I hang out there
I would use it for being sure I can proved energy for my internet and computer to continue watching Jehugarcia and powering a mini fridge, to be sure I have my essentials covered in the event the grid goes down. Thank you for all of your time Jehu in bringing us all of the information and education you do. You have a great way to approach problems and evaluation. You Rock Jehu! You help so many people change their mind set. Making a real difference in the world. You are truly doing your calling. Thank your wife for allowing us to benefit from your time.
car and motorcycle/mtb camping with the friends at trails and springs.. keeping the music going, devices charging, and some mood lighting at night... and extra source of energy to help work on projects
Love the fact you aggregated the 3 videos into one. It saved me a lot of time. If I win this one I would use it in case of power outages in our hurricane prone area. Thanks and stay healthy.
I live in Montana and during the cold months am on the road towing a 5th wheel RV South to warmer climates. Am off-the-grid in Montana and pack up my 255watts of solar panels, and 4 (good? old and HEAVY) deep-cycle lead acid batteries while traveling. The EcoFlo Delta1300 would help my cause much. Congrats to the winner...whoever it may be.
Thank you so much for showing the sine wave under load as I was very concerned with this as a Modified Sine Wave that it would damage my freezers, fridge, washer/dryer.
I implement these diy projects in my camping set up. I camp about 6-7 times out of the year for up to 9 days at a time with only a canvas tent. I use batteries to power my sound system, my lights, my blow up mattress, to charge my ebike and i add new electronics every year. Im hoping eventually I can gain enough equipment and knowledge to use my off the grid set up 24/7. I've been working on projects like using peltier modules on my wood burning stove to charge my batteries but currently I dont have any charging capabilities. When my batteries die they are dead. If i win i will make a video for you to use about my glamping set up.
I would use this van taking my family camping in the southwest, in our camper van. Lots of love to everyone sheltering in place. Much love to you all!I
Hey Jehu! Fellow DIY LiPo pack, solar system and ebike builder. I would use it as a backup for a new passive house build. If you pick me, I'll see how long it can run all the house systems on one charge and promise to post the video! Hoping for 10 days with running the radiant floor heat in Canada. Thanks!
I would use this in my work shed and put the solar panels on the roof to help charge my battery powered tools and other equipment! Great video, I always learn something new watching your content!
The size and capacity of this unit makes it perfect for camping. I do agree with Jehu that an expansion port for adding extra battery capacity is needed. Look forward to a video on that hack. As it is I would use for camping or picnics.
I would use it as a powerwall for an un-electrified garage. This would be much more convenient than getting power ran to it. I would also like to thank you for the teardown. This is always something I like to see for any product I buy and might consider picking up the smaller River powerpack because of the build quality and ease of repair.
I would use the EcoFlo for backup power if power goes down at home and for off-grid camping and amateur radio operations. It would help keep my family and me informed and safe. Thank you for all of your videos.
I live in a condominium townhouse cluster that does not allow gasoline powered generators for noise and safety reasons. I recently purchased a Delta as a backup power source for the occasional power outages here in tree-strewn New England. In early tests it's worked fine.
I am a community college student in my final semester of electrical engineering, having developed a good relationship with the electrical professor, I would use this product to help give a physical representation to the intricacies of storing energy. Seeing as the majority of the classes are based on the relationships between source and load, the ease of portability and the ability to have a modular system tend to be displaced by equations. This simple concept opens electronics to a much more accessible and innovative mindset, and I would like to pass this pathology that you have given me to my peers. Thank you
i am in Florida. We get power outage during storms. instead of keeping a Diesel or Propane based generator, I like the idea of keeping a unit like EcoFlow. I can then use my Electric Kettle, Toaster and Coffee maker during power outages. I like the idea it can be charged by solar panels. I can also run my TV, Laptop PC, and charge my smartphones. Would like to have multiple units, Daisy chaining or External battery connection would be a great enhancement. Endorsement by a person like Jehu Garcia gives me great comfort in getting one.
I could really use this battery pack during power outages and when the condo shuts off power several times a year for maintenance. It would provide basic lighting, a fan, etc.
Our electricity use has gone up a lot since the family is home all the time now. This would allow us to charge devices needed for the kids to learn while keeping our costs down during this difficult time. Thank you for the chance to win. Love your videos.
I will be using it for a photography trip I was hoping to do in June and July as I document the effects the covid 19 virus is having on our homeless population. until then I will finaly have a big enough power bank to keep my wifes phone charged! it seems several diy 12 v 2ah powerbanks aren't enough for the poor gal . Thanks for all the good work you are doing for us all on youtube!
I will use the power station for camping trips with my 3 kids and wife. For lights, charging different devices, electric pump for inflatable boats and toys, coffee maker and to power a heat planket to make my loved ones warm during chill nights in the tent to make it extra cosy 🥰
My wife and I often work street fairs as vendors. I have a portable solar pack usually throw on top of the easy-up to charge our laptops, tablets, etc. this would be very handy. Also, we have six cars that often run low on 12v juice. It would be good to juice them up once a week. Looks like a really good unit.
My family and I live in the country, my youngest daughter has autism. During power outages, we would use the solar generator to ensure we have power for freezer & fridge, so I don't need to run the gas generator all night and in case oif a longer outage. Daily I'd use it to run my electronics/hobby shack (we call it the Little Shop), where my daughter and I build and learn about electronics, model aircraft (drones) and more. I've wanted to build a power wall for the Little Shop and have collected several used batteries but it is a work in progress!
My stepdad and I just built a woodworking shop but we did not realize how much it was going to cost to add electricity to it so now we need to start saving for a generator. We didn't think adding electricity would cost so much so I would really love to have this solar generator in our shop. Thanks
I would use it to power my Van. It would be great to power the lights and 12 volt fridge. The best part is when I take my grandchildren camping, we can take it in the tent. It will power our fans etc. Thanks for the informative videos.
I would Love to use this at my upcoming farm. Keeping your family off the grid as much as you can in times like this is a great goal everyone can have and this would help get us there faster.
This is a great thing for so many reasons. I was planning on building one but due to loosing my job with the virus i cannot put one together in time to sustain me and my daughter through black outs that happen here during storms. Thanks for reading and keep making vids. Love your channel!
Love the build of this battery and controller and changing all in one. Can't believe you were welding with the unit as well, that one surprised me big time and goes to show what we can do with lithium cells. Would love to use this with my self sufficient camping trailer and a home back up, I have been harvesting 18659 cells from the first of your videos I watched. Would make for a quick transition to lithium for my trailer
I would use this in my quarantine area right now. Something to play with in my little room I’m stuck in for 2 weeks. And then when I’m out use it for camping use.
Im working on my own power wall picking up 18650 from laptop repair shops because i want to motivate my country to do the same and one way to show them its possible to be off grid is making my own and showing them the results. This would help me motivate them and make them trust the project and after that i would keep it in my home as a backup and at the same time i would be happy because i would have something from you because im a big fan!
I would use it to power my audio recording equipment to get recordings deep in the woods, bird calls from a silent hot air balloon, and off the grid locations with incredibly low noise microphones
I would use this to power all my astronomy gear for astrophotography, mount, cameras, laptop and use the solar to recharge. During emergencies this baby would be valuable either here at the house or wherever it is needed. Thank you so much for providing such a real-world review.
Thanks for the review and rundown of this product. I would use this product with my girlfriend, we are both in love with camping and spending time outdoors, however, we love our tech stuff. I would use this to keep life on my Laptop and camera stuff. I'm a producer and videographer and I find myself more inspired with the sun on my skin and my girlfriend is a beautiful photographer and gardener, there's no better way to get inspired than being surrounded by nature and this product would be wonderfully useful for the both of us. I've also looked into your conversion videos and a project idea id like to complete is a DIY electric car conversion so we could live/ go camping off-grid and leave an even smaller carbon footprint. Thanks for being the RUclipsr you are!
I’d use it for camping for now, I plan on doing van life and will probably get a larger built in system then, but this fits my needs. Having a backup source of power in emergencies just looks better and better these days as well, luckily power plant workers seem to be doing well, stay healthy.
I would use it every day of my life as wife and I along with my 2 cats and 2 pupps lost our home of 8 years because the property was sold. I had just enough $ to buy an old trailer to live in. We just go from place to place around Sonoma and Mendocino county staying mostly wherever we can . Only a few times a month we can afford to stay in a campground with hookups as we live on my SSI which is nothing. So we don't have electricity very much. The battery on the trailer is a old lead acid and is tired. I have been watching your channel so much and really want to build a lipo 4 12 volt battery with headway cells but could never afford it. It's a dream of mine. I have sleep apnea and require a machine to breathe every night. It doesn't make it through the night so I have to get up and hook it up to my truck battery to finish sleeping. I wish I had a good battery. But this set up is exactly what I need. I have the worst luck in the world and 2019 was the absolute worst year of my life. I'm too old and with my disabilities can't do much to keep up with everything and constantly move by request of the law. But if I had this setup my life would definitely at least seem worthy. I think what you are doing with your channel is so incredibly awesome . Helping people save money on battery's and the information you put out there is so so helpful. Unfortunately some of us need these but could never afford one. Like I said I dream of having a cheap system that just worked and would last a while. I'm praying that 2020 will be better for me and the Mrs as she can't keep staying positive living like this. Being in our 50's now it's not what we planned on living like this. Every penny I get goes to bills like storage , insurance , truck payment , propane and food. I just can't get ahead. SO JEHU GARCIA IF THERES SOMEONE WHO NEEDS THIS ITS US. I would just die if we had this or even a crappy old battery you had lying around . Solar panels would be the way to charge instead of running my truck with jumpers to the RV. Gas is expensive. An old gas generator is what I had in the beginning but after this first 10 mos of use it's dead. Cost $2k for a decent one but I'm in so deep with my credit cards I'm surprised they haven't found me. I am a follower of your videos and like I said a huge fan . Learning so much from you is great. It's so good to see you do all this and sharing the info to help people save. Thanks for your channel and the chance to win. This is my first one to be a part of. I'm praying for the stars to align just once and help me out. I am the guy with the black cloud over me that is just plain bad luck. I'm hoping your positivity will feed me forward . Oh and btw it's kinda cool that you are J GARCIA. As my favorite guitarist is the legendary Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. You rock dude. Keep up the work you do and thanks

It would be really nice to take this out and set it up in my hut and use it for powering lights and small cooking appliances. Then I could recharge it during the day with some solar panels!
I love the versatility of this product! Every home should have one of these as a power back up source. Please choose me!

You are amazing. Your reviews are like no one else’s and I really like them. They give me insights I cannot get anywhere else. I am also amazed at how easily you strip items down and get them back together again. I wish you were my neighbor so I could learn everything from you and then have you fix what I did wrong. 🤣
I would give it to my friend who is looking to build their own tiny house and need a small, light, easy-to-use power source for cooking food and powering lights. They are trying to figure out how to DIY their own solution but it is not working out well... This could get them started and once they have it up and running, can focus on making their own version.
My wife works online teaching special ed students...I would use it to keep her going during our very common power outages.
love your vids Jehu...super talented man.
I will use it to cook my meals. I'm currently homeless and living in my mom's truck that doesn't run. I currently have a 90ah marine deepcycle battery with a 2k watt inverter. I can't run the microwave for more than 5 minutes. I have solar panels connected to it but it doesn't help it much. I have to connect jumper cables from my car to finish cooking my food.
I’ve always wanted to build a battery but don’t have the time working 7 days a week. I’ve built many battery packs with you vicariously with all your builds. One day I’ll get around to building my own or win this one to start. Thanks for reading.
This unit is a dream come true for some of us. I think that this is a blessing.
Can you assess this vs the jackery1000 or 1500? I’m in the market for both
Hi Jehu. Thank you for the comprehensive review. I really liked the tear down/re-build. It's something that very few creators in this space are doing. If I win, I would like give this to my grandmother who is 96 years old and uses a CPAP machine. Thank you for continuing to provide great content.
As a ham operator I sometimes say out in the wild and it would be nice to be on the air all the time.
Jesus, I am posting again because of the potential life saving impact the Delta 1300 could have. My wife requires the full time use of an oxygen concentrator. We have a small generator as a backup for power outages, but the solar charge aspect of this would be such an amazing relief to know that she could breath when the sun is out AND at night with the batteries should power be lost for an extended period. Thanks for considering. I am in the process of building one of your power packs regardless. You are doing a great service to all DIY’ers.
Saludos even tho I can use this in Florida due to the power outage frequency here I will give it away to my mom in 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico since she has been without power since the hurricane Maria. She is using now 4 panels from harbor freight an inverter and 2 deep cycle batteries it works but not too reliable as you can imagine.. great content Jehu
I am self employed in construction and the uses for it could be many from running saws , lighting , charging battery packs use it on jobs where power is not available. Also I'm going on a road trip this summer so it would be my main source of power for everything . I would be very grateful and take good care of it . Thank you
I’ve watched the whole video live! Been waiting for two weeks for you to give away this battery! Please, please, please, choose me!
I'm beginning to build out my car to do car camping and travel on a budget. Having this would allow me to go longer without connecting to the grid and further my travels! Thanks Jehu
I would use it as a self contained home automation and security system.
I am in IT and was for a long time in search of a backup solution, while I do an EV conversation myself at the moment (thanks to you) I think this would be great to allow my machines to gracefully shutdown over a power outage. I would also connect a small always on server and my home surveillance to this! Thank you for any consideration. You are the best EV channel on line rn, because you are down to earth and honest. Moreso than Rich even!
I would use it for my partner who uses a C-PAP breathing machine and other medical equipment at night. This battery backup would make sure that during the night the C-PAP breathing machine and other medical equipment always has power, thus ensuring a good night sleep every night. This would also help whenever we go camping and need the battery backup at night for the C-PAP breathing machine and medical equipment and can charge with solar panels during the day. This would help my partner be less controlled by their disabilities and more free to be adventurous and experience life!
I'd use it to power my CPAP when I go tent camping with my family and for a coffee maker also while camping. Thanks for all the videos.
spending that much money jus for when camping? 99% of people dont got that kinda money.. good for you.. here where i am we get $10 a day for 8 hours of work
I would use to run my fridge with all the power outages in PR.
need one also for my CPAP
I also live in PR
How long does this run a full-sized fridge....?🤷 Nobody cares about hair dryers and welding
Wow that is the best one I've seen. I am a retired electronic tech living in my 1976 Chevy step van and I would use it to have all the comforts that are not possible with 2 marine batteries and 300 watts of solar.I love to travel and soc sec is my only income... it takes a long time to save for something as fancy as the Ecoflo. Good job on the break down and putting it thru the paces.....
My mom lives in el Salvador, where earthquakes are really common and usually the electric grid is the most affected, I'm a Diy guy too and Im looking something that can be affordable and easy for her to use it. Hope you pick me, thanks jehu
This backup system would be a great addition to our off grid system we are now using. I would use it to make sure I am able to keep my refrigerator running when the sun has not shined for several days. I need the refrigerator to keep my insulin from going bad otherwise living without power for a few days wouldn't be to much of an issue. Thanks for giving all your viewer an opportunity to make their life a little easier.
Wow, I'm so lucky found your channel, you're amazing man and so creative. my father will be very happy to get this as a gift, He will be feel so lucky & gratefull. He is an handyman, He is water maker, he know's how to make the house and other building get the water in. he is also know how get electricity to the house. he is handyman like you. but you're more faster, and already make your own brand. Respect.
so sweet
yes, she is so sweet.
good luck
wish u get it sis
what a sweet daughter.
As a robotics engineer in school I can imaging how many things this would help with all my school projects and DIY adventures!
I'd use it to keep my daughter's medical device charged during a power outage.
Oh my goodness, I love the way you demonstrate taking these pieces apart. Thank you, so much. It’s kind of complicated for me, because I’m not really tool/implement saavy so when you’re disassembling these it takes a little longer for me to absorb it all.
What a wonderful gift; so nice of you during this uncertain time. I WOULD use it for ALL my emergencies. I live with my spoiled dog, Bella, and this would be such a relief to know I'll have this during emergencies. Thanks so much, Kathy
I would keep it on my car It's will be there when I need it
I would use it to power my DIY work room. This is where I do all my projects. This is where I solder and make all my battery packs using my DIY spot welder. I would also use it as an emergency power supply to watch your videos during power outages.
I would really love to have something like this but it's just so expensive
Here I am 4 weeks later and Im Still wishing I had this. Lol, maybe one day
First off, I just want to say Thank You! I recently started playing with the idea of converting my 65 Ranchero into an EV and I started watching you and Michael at EV West, Great information! I've learned so much in a very short time, Again Thank You! Now.... were I to be the winner, I would be able to put it to use in multiple ways. But I suspect I would do just about exactly what you've done..... Take it apart to see what ideas I could glean! Keep up the Great work! I've got a lot to learn.
Our high school AP physics class has a project called 20-time, based on google's concept of allowing employees to dedicate %20 of their time to a project that interests them. Our group has been trying to research the different needs fulfilled by gasoline generators and electric batteries. We can easily obtain a generator for use in research; however, our school has been understandably apprehensive, especially because of the eLearning brought on by the virus, on funding an expensive battery pack. This pack would help us research the advantages and disadvantages of battery packs and generators, and allow us to pursue our first choice project. Also, we could have a damn cool camping trip after the virus passes by!
I've been designing a high pressure aeroponics system for some veggies and this would pair perfectly with some panels to power an entire greenhouse!
I will use here that we have blackouts everyday, So my son can study on nights.
But can you affoard it ?
@@yutuniopati no
I am a scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 57 out of Missouri. This item would be great for my leaders to help keep their phones and other gear that they need to be charged and to run lights. Most of our camp sites that we stay at for multiple days and sometimes up to a week have no electricity. To be self sustained would be great. There would be multiple more ideas that we could use this for. Thank you always enjoy the videos keep up the good work.
Nice job, excellent, sharing your knowledge! Please, please, please, choose me!
I am an Amature Radio Operator and do field contests and Emergency radio communications as in when we were hit with an ICE Storm witch took down hydro towers and hydro pole and phone line pole along with damage to power stations extra. So we were in our cars, snowmobiles and moble tents. We needed car batteries and switching them out and using generators to try and charge them, Hope this a good reason for this setup....Keep up the great videos.
I would use it as an emergency pack in case of a blackout
Same and if I could I would slow my naboirs to use power there fridge with a extinon cable because I don't trust them on borrowing it
@@redfangsmayhem4864 poor guy can not trust your neighbors with a power cord .. this rough times we are living in ?
I would use it as an emergency powerpack and somethimes fishing also. :)
I would use it to run my diy tricycle and to charge all my battery devices after charging it with solar panels
Congratulations to the winner! I hope it comes in really handy for you and thank you for the in-depth review 😁
I would use it for my cpap machine. Having sleep apnea is no joke you could die in your sleep. We believe that is what killed my grandfather.
I know what you mean exactly. At 45 years old I had a heart attack and it was 100% because if sleep apnea. . it's a blessing I have the bipap machine now. I never knew what real sleep was until I git it. Very very difficult to get used to but now I'm addicted. This unit is what every person like this needs.
A normal ups would be a much cheaper option
I gotta say, I'm so impressed by how many giveaways you do for your viewers. Awesome stuff! I've been saving towards making a campervan with the goal of it being completely sustainable off grid through atleast 400Watts of solar. I'd love to use something like this as a power bank, however, going DIY is a lot of fun but has its risks for people who have not done it before.
I would like to experiment AC on camping hahahah
Been looking at other models of solar generators but so many are out of stock. There is only myself and my wife at home but Im the only one working and she is out of work due to health conditions. Money is tight so winning this unit would be such a big help. I watch all your videos and find them very informative. Keep up the great work. With the country (even the world) my prayer is we all can survive the pandemic. This unit would be greatly appreciated in the worse case scenario that we were to lose power at some point. God bless you and your channel.

you know, in China they have:
thick-silicone cables and
thick silicone-cables.
if you know what I mean.
lol
dude seriously :/
I live in Florida and have to deal with hurricanes on an almost yearly basis. This type of device would be very helpful in providing temporary power to keep our devices charged during the blackouts that follow. Because of it's large capacity, I would most-likely utilize it to power a portable refrigerator to help keep my Insulin cool. The challenge with insulin is it needs to stay cool, but cannot be frozen.
How lucky if I win again
I actually sent you an email a month ago, but I used my tax return to get my first solar set up to help the community when stuff huts the fan and asked if you could help with getting parts so I went with a 200w solar panel and a 500w power bank. Winning this will help big time!
I'd use this to be able to show my friends and neighbors that batteries and solar don't have the limitations they think they do. Only way to get people to switch away from fossil fuels is to let them see for themselves the alternative already exists! People like you are doing a great job of that, keep it up!!!!
Very impressive unit and thanks for letting us see all the potential it has. I would use this during hurricane season where we could go days without power. I could see this very useful for that situation as well as helping out the neighbors around me who experience the same issues as me during that season. As always, great videos.
If we were to receive this gift from you, it would used daily to power our PC's, Laptops and LED lighting in our Van on the road! Thanks for all you share and do you for others, you Power Rock!
I would use it in two ways: The first as an extended power source in the case of emergency (storms, hurricanes,) where fuel may be limited in its availability. Secondly, I would use to power weekend getaways. Thanks again for the opportunity and I really do enjoy your videos.
You are a legend for spreading this knowledge and bringing battery tech to the common folk, Jehu. Love your livestreams.
Deffo need a battery and solar panels like this for when the grid inevitably fails.
I would use it on so many things, camping, house as a back up, for my garage shop, for the VW shows, the possibilities are endless thanks for the videos cheers !!!!
I'm traveling back and forth from St.louis Missouri to Tyler Texas to visit my 93 year old mother I stay in my van as I can't afford motels anymore and pay for gas there and back so this battery would be a game changer for me. I need to charge my phone, and I have a implant in my back that has to be charged every day for a half hour. Thank you love the information I learn from your channel.
I love this battery. I have a small place all the way in the back of my yard that doesn’t have electricity, so this would be a nice gadget to use when I hang out there
I would use it for being sure I can proved energy for my internet and computer to continue watching Jehugarcia and powering a mini fridge, to be sure I have my essentials covered in the event the grid goes down. Thank you for all of your time Jehu in bringing us all of the information and education you do. You have a great way to approach problems and evaluation. You Rock Jehu! You help so many people change their mind set. Making a real difference in the world. You are truly doing your calling. Thank your wife for allowing us to benefit from your time.
car and motorcycle/mtb camping with the friends at trails and springs.. keeping the music going, devices charging, and some mood lighting at night... and extra source of energy to help work on projects
Love the fact you aggregated the 3 videos into one. It saved me a lot of time. If I win this one I would use it in case of power outages in our hurricane prone area. Thanks and stay healthy.
I live in Montana and during the cold months am on the road towing a 5th wheel RV South to warmer climates.
Am off-the-grid in Montana and pack up my 255watts of solar panels, and 4 (good? old and HEAVY) deep-cycle lead acid batteries while traveling. The EcoFlo Delta1300 would help my cause much. Congrats to the winner...whoever it may be.
I could think of about a million uses for this, from being a battery backup, all the way to a generator replacement. I would love to have this device!
I go camping with my family often and most of the time there isn't power available and this would greatly make our time out more enjoyable.
Thank you so much for showing the sine wave under load as I was very concerned with this as a Modified Sine Wave that it would damage my freezers, fridge, washer/dryer.
I implement these diy projects in my camping set up. I camp about 6-7 times out of the year for up to 9 days at a time with only a canvas tent. I use batteries to power my sound system, my lights, my blow up mattress, to charge my ebike and i add new electronics every year. Im hoping eventually I can gain enough equipment and knowledge to use my off the grid set up 24/7. I've been working on projects like using peltier modules on my wood burning stove to charge my batteries but currently I dont have any charging capabilities. When my batteries die they are dead. If i win i will make a video for you to use about my glamping set up.
I would use this van taking my family camping in the southwest, in our camper van. Lots of love to everyone sheltering in place. Much love to you all!I
Hey Jehu! Fellow DIY LiPo pack, solar system and ebike builder. I would use it as a backup for a new passive house build. If you pick me, I'll see how long it can run all the house systems on one charge and promise to post the video! Hoping for 10 days with running the radiant floor heat in Canada. Thanks!
I would use this in my work shed and put the solar panels on the roof to help charge my battery powered tools and other equipment! Great video, I always learn something new watching your content!
The size and capacity of this unit makes it perfect for camping. I do agree with Jehu that an expansion port for adding extra battery capacity is needed. Look forward to a video on that hack. As it is I would use for camping or picnics.
I would use it as a powerwall for an un-electrified garage. This would be much more convenient than getting power ran to it. I would also like to thank you for the teardown. This is always something I like to see for any product I buy and might consider picking up the smaller River powerpack because of the build quality and ease of repair.
I would use the EcoFlo for backup power if power goes down at home and for off-grid camping and amateur radio operations. It would help keep my family and me informed and safe. Thank you for all of your videos.
I live in a condominium townhouse cluster that does not allow gasoline powered generators for noise and safety reasons. I recently purchased a Delta as a backup power source for the occasional power outages here in tree-strewn New England. In early tests it's worked fine.
I am a community college student in my final semester of electrical engineering, having developed a good relationship with the electrical professor, I would use this product to help give a physical representation to the intricacies of storing energy. Seeing as the majority of the classes are based on the relationships between source and load, the ease of portability and the ability to have a modular system tend to be displaced by equations. This simple concept opens electronics to a much more accessible and innovative mindset, and I would like to pass this pathology that you have given me to my peers. Thank you
i am in Florida. We get power outage during storms. instead of keeping a Diesel or Propane based generator, I like the idea of keeping a unit like EcoFlow. I can then use my Electric Kettle, Toaster and Coffee maker during power outages. I like the idea it can be charged by solar panels. I can also run my TV, Laptop PC, and charge my smartphones. Would like to have multiple units, Daisy chaining or External battery connection would be a great enhancement. Endorsement by a person like Jehu Garcia gives me great comfort in getting one.
I could really use this battery pack during power outages and when the condo shuts off power several times a year for maintenance. It would provide basic lighting, a fan, etc.
Our electricity use has gone up a lot since the family is home all the time now. This would allow us to charge devices needed for the kids to learn while keeping our costs down during this difficult time. Thank you for the chance to win. Love your videos.
I will be using it for a photography trip I was hoping to do in June and July as I document the effects the covid 19 virus is having on our homeless population. until then I will finaly have a big enough power bank to keep my wifes phone charged! it seems several diy 12 v 2ah powerbanks aren't enough for the poor gal . Thanks for all the good work you are doing for us all on youtube!
I will use the power station for camping trips with my 3 kids and wife. For lights, charging different devices, electric pump for inflatable boats and toys, coffee maker and to power a heat planket to make my loved ones warm during chill nights in the tent to make it extra cosy 🥰
My wife and I often work street fairs as vendors. I have a portable solar pack usually throw on top of the easy-up to charge our laptops, tablets, etc. this would be very handy. Also, we have six cars that often run low on 12v juice. It would be good to juice them up once a week. Looks like a really good unit.
I am glad you cal it a battery because that is all it is. NOT a generator. Just a very expensive battery with outlets.
My family and I live in the country, my youngest daughter has autism. During power outages, we would use the solar generator to ensure we have power for freezer & fridge, so I don't need to run the gas generator all night and in case oif a longer outage. Daily I'd use it to run my electronics/hobby shack (we call it the Little Shop), where my daughter and I build and learn about electronics, model aircraft (drones) and more. I've wanted to build a power wall for the Little Shop and have collected several used batteries but it is a work in progress!
My stepdad and I just built a woodworking shop but we did not realize how much it was going to cost to add electricity to it so now we need to start saving for a generator. We didn't think adding electricity would cost so much so I would really love to have this solar generator in our shop.
Thanks
I would use it to power my Van. It would be great to power the lights and 12 volt fridge.
The best part is when I take my grandchildren camping, we can take it in the tent. It will power our fans etc.
Thanks for the informative videos.
I would Love to use this at my upcoming farm. Keeping your family off the grid as much as you can in times like this is a great goal everyone can have and this would help get us there faster.
This is a great thing for so many reasons. I was planning on building one but due to loosing my job with the virus i cannot put one together in time to sustain me and my daughter through black outs that happen here during storms. Thanks for reading and keep making vids. Love your channel!
Your channel has been an excellent reference as I learn about power management. This could take my camp off grid entirely. Thanks!
Love the build of this battery and controller and changing all in one. Can't believe you were welding with the unit as well, that one surprised me big time and goes to show what we can do with lithium cells. Would love to use this with my self sufficient camping trailer and a home back up, I have been harvesting 18659 cells from the first of your videos I watched. Would make for a quick transition to lithium for my trailer
I would use this in my quarantine area right now. Something to play with in my little room I’m stuck in for 2 weeks. And then when I’m out use it for camping use.
Im working on my own power wall picking up 18650 from laptop repair shops because i want to motivate my country to do the same and one way to show them its possible to be off grid is making my own and showing them the results. This would help me motivate them and make them trust the project and after that i would keep it in my home as a backup and at the same time i would be happy because i would have something from you because im a big fan!
I would use it to power my audio recording equipment to get recordings deep in the woods, bird calls from a silent hot air balloon, and off the grid locations with incredibly low noise microphones
I would use this to power all my astronomy gear for astrophotography, mount, cameras, laptop and use the solar to recharge. During emergencies this baby would be valuable either here at the house or wherever it is needed. Thank you so much for providing such a real-world review.
Thanks for the review and rundown of this product. I would use this product with my girlfriend, we are both in love with camping and spending time outdoors, however, we love our tech stuff. I would use this to keep life on my Laptop and camera stuff. I'm a producer and videographer and I find myself more inspired with the sun on my skin and my girlfriend is a beautiful photographer and gardener, there's no better way to get inspired than being surrounded by nature and this product would be wonderfully useful for the both of us.
I've also looked into your conversion videos and a project idea id like to complete is a DIY electric car conversion so we could live/ go camping off-grid and leave an even smaller carbon footprint.
Thanks for being the RUclipsr you are!
I’d use it for camping for now, I plan on doing van life and will probably get a larger built in system then, but this fits my needs. Having a backup source of power in emergencies just looks better and better these days as well, luckily power plant workers seem to be doing well, stay healthy.
Nice review. Nice work taking it apart. Yes, I would love to see how to add a port for BATTERY expansion on this unit. I have one from kickstarter.
ruclips.net/video/iSDO6MAPqGE/видео.html
I would use it every day of my life as wife and I along with my 2 cats and 2 pupps lost our home of 8 years because the property was sold. I had just enough $ to buy an old trailer to live in. We just go from place to place around Sonoma and Mendocino county staying mostly wherever we can . Only a few times a month we can afford to stay in a campground with hookups as we live on my SSI which is nothing. So we don't have electricity very much. The battery on the trailer is a old lead acid and is tired. I have been watching your channel so much and really want to build a lipo 4 12 volt battery with headway cells but could never afford it. It's a dream of mine. I have sleep apnea and require a machine to breathe every night. It doesn't make it through the night so I have to get up and hook it up to my truck battery to finish sleeping. I wish I had a good battery. But this set up is exactly what I need. I have the worst luck in the world and 2019 was the absolute worst year of my life. I'm too old and with my disabilities can't do much to keep up with everything and constantly move by request of the law. But if I had this setup my life would definitely at least seem worthy. I think what you are doing with your channel is so incredibly awesome . Helping people save money on battery's and the information you put out there is so so helpful. Unfortunately some of us need these but could never afford one. Like I said I dream of having a cheap system that just worked and would last a while. I'm praying that 2020 will be better for me and the Mrs as she can't keep staying positive living like this. Being in our 50's now it's not what we planned on living like this. Every penny I get goes to bills like storage , insurance , truck payment , propane and food. I just can't get ahead. SO JEHU GARCIA IF THERES SOMEONE WHO NEEDS THIS ITS US. I would just die if we had this or even a crappy old battery you had lying around . Solar panels would be the way to charge instead of running my truck with jumpers to the RV. Gas is expensive. An old gas generator is what I had in the beginning but after this first 10 mos of use it's dead. Cost $2k for a decent one but I'm in so deep with my credit cards I'm surprised they haven't found me. I am a follower of your videos and like I said a huge fan . Learning so much from you is great. It's so good to see you do all this and sharing the info to help people save. Thanks for your channel and the chance to win. This is my first one to be a part of. I'm praying for the stars to align just once and help me out. I am the guy with the black cloud over me that is just plain bad luck. I'm hoping your positivity will feed me forward . Oh and btw it's kinda cool that you are J GARCIA. As my favorite guitarist is the legendary Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead.
You rock dude. Keep up the work you do and thanks
