One way I cut electricity costs in my house is by using portable power stations in my grandkids’ rooms.My granddaughter runs her entertainment center on a Delta 3 Ultra. She games a lot more than my grandson, so it made sense to give her the bigger battery. The Delta 3 Ultra stores about 3 kWh of energy, so her TV, computer, lights, and gaming setup can run for many hours without pulling power from the grid.My grandson uses a Delta 2 with an extra battery, and when he heads downstairs to play games, he just grabs the River 2 Pro and keeps going.Both rooms are powered by two 380W solar panels, so during the day the batteries recharge from the sun instead of the electric company.And the best part, If the power goes out, nothing changes for them.The TV, computer, lights — everything in the room still works. It’s basically a giant battery keeping the room powered so they’re not sitting in the dark waiting for the grid to come back.Whether I’m cutting electricity costs or dealing with an outage, my grandkids room stays powered. ⚡
I originally got the Silver EF 5K RAPID and really did not use it much since I had a 10K from another brand that would charge my phone more than once. What I liked about the 5K was the built in USB-C cable that tucks neatly and inconspicuously into the device. It's also the only one that charges with my phone case on.I then recently got two of the 10K RAPIDs and it's great to have options. They're small and not only do I use them for my phone, I also use them to charge my GoPros, headlamps and other small devices. I do wish they all had % for the state of charge vs having dots that I have to interpret. One of the black 10Ks has % and so I grab for that one first most of the time. That one also has a built in cable that is a lot more secure than I expected.The built-in stands are pretty well designed. You can almost miss the fact that they are even there. Other than your phones, what unique ways are you using your RAPID chargers?
I have a D3M+, a WAVE, a WAVE3, and 800w Alternator Charger, a couple DP Extra Batteries, and DP3 extra batteries, and this new Expansion Adapter. I’m pretty certain the 800w AltC and DP3 EBs will work fine since it is on the EF website, but I’m about to have a plug fest to see what other combinations work and doesn’t work. If anybody has a D3U+ plus accessories encourage you to do the same and post the results here. I’m thinking of pulling together a big table showing what works, what somewhat works, and what doesn’t work. For example, before leaving for a week and a half trip, I was able to test that one DP EB seems to work, but two does not when plugged directly into the expansion adapter.

Super-powered office
I dragged my DPU-X up to my second story office for this photoshoot. Okay, it's not directly powering my office devices (that's what my Delta 3 Air 1000 is doing, hidden behind the DPU-X).But I love how my entire whole home backup powers 95% of my home. Using 8 DPU batteries and 2 DPUs attached to my SHP2, all my major home circuits are powered by EcoFlow. If the SHP2 had space for a few more breakers, it would have been 100%.
We have a scheduled outage at our home later tonight. I haven't gotten a DPU and smart panel yet, so I have to manually deploy my power stations to where they need to be. The outage is estimated to last 8 hours, so my Delta 3+ will keep my fridge running while my Delta Air will keep my internet and entertainment center powered. It really is a good feeling to be prepared and not have to break out my gas generator.
As one of the longest standing user of the smart home panel 2, I have one of the first installation of smart home panel 2 in North America. Over the last three years I’ve learned a lot about it with various tips and tricks and I can’t wait to share them with you!Ask me anything about the smart home panel 2 or SHP2!
I'm considering getting the 220 watt bifacial portable solar panel and was looking to see any real world experience as far as the weight, ease of setup and general wattage output to expect to get while charging a delta 2. Thanks
As the title states, we are newly getting started on our family camping journey and would like something that’s great to start with that won’t need to be replaced for awhile, but also not TOO expensive since we are building up our camping gear collection. What do you recommend?
I have two Delta 3+ systems. The primary reason for these are to power a pellet stove and to power a freezer during the 2+ winter storms a year where I lose grid power for a day or so.I typically leave them disconnected until the weather reports are concerning. However after some reading, some indicated that regular cycles of the battery could help the lifespan of the batteries.I don't have a long term solar setup, and the cost savings of running home solar are minimal, thanks to a solar co-op I joined and no time of day charges.What are some battery longevity strategies people are using? Can I just replace my older ups with the Delta unites and let them charge/discharge within a given range?
Ask me anything about DIY solar string design for ecoflow batteries.
It’s not easy to design a custom solar string while staying safe for your ecoflow system while maximumize production. I am not a contractor or electrical engineer but have a lot of experience DIY panels! Feel free to talk about string design here! Here’s a picture of my mixed string with many different EF and non-EF panels!
Yet another way to charge your EcoFlow Power stations! Solar, AC, generator, and now Vehicle to Load (V2L)!
If you know me, I'm a bit of a prepper who likes redundancy for when things hit the fan. I live in California, and the fear of earthquakes and the eventual "big one" is always on my mind. How else can I prepare for a prolonged outage? I've got rooftop that won't work when the grid is down.... booo! So had to buy other panels, rigid and portable, for a second non-grid tied array. I've got a dual fuel generator with multiple propane tanks, for those extra long outages. Also have a couple LFP batteries plugged into an alternator charger. Now my newest way to charge up! Courtesy of my wife's new Ioniq 9, vehicle to load. I tried it today and was able to get 800w into my Delta 3+ that was recently used for a planned outage. This is perhaps the easiest and fastest solution for charging up during an emergency or outage. Diversify your charging capabilities for those future emergencies!
Ok, so I work in the delivery industry and have an Electric Van. My Entire route is 20 miles. Worse case, on a winter's day I need 14kwh with the heat on at temps in the teens. I want to create a mini off-grid system to charge my van. I will usually be home before noon, and have a place for solar panels in direct sunlight. I was thinking of building a 3kw solar setup in the field and then using a solar generator to charge the van. Trying to keep it simple, I am really more interested in a device that can manage 3kw of input (preferably either all low volt or all inline vs having a combination of both). I am fine with charging the vehicle at lower amps, as I usually have the charger set at 6 amps if I am not planning on using it until the following morning, but will jack it up if needed. It's still only on a 30 amp circuit so I never go above 24. But since I will be able to get it on the charger before noon, I am less concerned about storage since it will really just be acting as a buffer between the panels and the van. Better put, I don't want to spend money on 14kwh batteries, and would rather buy more solar and charge faster.Any ideas for products or setups?
On Sunday, we started hearing about a major storm hitting our area (Maryland, near DC). The potential for 70 mph winds, heavy rain, hail, and even tornadoes. So, I made sure that all my EcoFlow units were topped up and ready to go, and adjusted the settings on the ones I use for UPS support from a 95% max to 100%. Finally, I connected Delta units (a D3 Plus and a D2) in UPS mode to the two sump pumps in my basement, just in case we lost power when it was raining heavily. I set an EcoFlow camping light on each level of the house, at the lowest output setting, so we'd immediately have light if we lost power. I went around to the solar panels I have hooked on railings and secured them with zip ties, and felt I was ready for the storm.The good news is that an intense rainfall (3/4" in 20 minutes) hit a few hours before the main storm, reducing the power of the later storm; there was still heavy rain and intense winds, but less than initially predicted.In the end, we never lost power, but having the EcoFlow units gave me wonderful peace of mind, knowing that we'd be fine if we lost power.
In preparation for the hot weather, I just want to share my Ecoflow gear I use when I go out boondocking in the summer time. Last year I went on a camping trip spending a couple of days in the hot desert, and ending it with three days in the Eastern Sierra mountains. SoCal was in a middle of a heatwave, so I brought all my EcoFlow toys to make my RV comfortable by powering my 13,500btu air conditioner with no soft start all week long. I brought my original Delta Pro and one extra battery inside my truck connected to my Alternator Chargers. I have my Delta Pro 3 with two extra batteries as my main power supply for my trailer. And I have three LiTime 12.8v 280AH batteries wired in series with a 3k inverter. For those doing the math, that’s 30.1kWh worth of power. I used the DP3 as my main power supply because of it’s 4kw inverter. Since I don’t have a soft start, the LiTime batteries and it’s 3kw inverter wouldn’t be able to handle the surge. So I would just plug the DP3 straight into my inverter to replenish as needed. I run my EF SG4000 during the day when solar isn’t keeping up. And finally I use my original DP in my truck to power my Starlink Gen3 and also quietly power dump to my batteries in my trailer during the night as needed. Now some may think it’s overkill, but I think it’s perfect. I ran my air conditioner and stayed comfortable using electricity with impunity. All my EcoFlow products ran perfectly making my spontaneous weeklong camping trip comfortable.
Hello! I have been loving my delta 2 power station and am thinking between adding an extra battery to it. Should I get the expansion battery or grab another entire power station?

Choosing Between EcoFlow Delta 2 Pro and Delta 3 Pro
Which one would you recommend for home backup and outdoor use: the EcoFlow Delta 2 Pro or the Delta 3 Pro? What are the main advantages and disadvantages of each model in terms of performance, battery life, and portability?
Hello everyone, my family and I often go camping by car, and we have a Delta Two and various accessories (I will tell you about them in the next post), but now we do not have enough capacity, even with an additional battery, and in general we want to buy and make a new camping, so the question arises: which station is better to choose, so that it will last for 3-4 days with the possibility of recharging from the sun? I will be grateful to everyone for the answer, as well as for the experience of using it:)
