This isn't about an EF accessory, but I really didn't see a better area of the forum to place this in.After you get more than one station of the same model, it can sometimes be confusing to understand which of them is doing what on the app. I mean, I name mine D3+ (first) or (second), in the app, but when they are both charging, which one is on the back porch versus which is charging out in the yard?last winter, I got bored and started labeling them. I used the label tape that, at that time, were in the label maker. I was not enamored of the white label with black font, on a gray (or black) station. But, I just went with it (1st picture).This summer, during a dark, rainy stretch of weather, I was going to label my power banks too, but the I had an epiphany - I have different tapes from projects years ago. I went down a rabbit hole and started relabeling my stations with a tape that looks much better (black tape with white lettering). Picture 2 shows labeling location of a D3+ (which is comparable to the D2M label location also) and picture 3 shows labeling of a DP. All of my stations got the new look.I then found I had a gold tape, which I used for the power banks (picture 4. That tape looks much better than the white with black font would. I figure one day I'll see if there is a silver tape out there that will be even more pleasing to look at.

The fourth Thursday of the month when I wake up at 4am, I login into EF, EcoCredits Monthly Madness to redeem my EcoCredits for exclusive discount and 1/2 off merch. It is so awesome when I can redeem my credits for something I want and one day, I will get that multifunctional outdoor light. There is so many other benefits as well, like The VIP membership. To get a VIP membership you will need 6000 EcoCredits in your account and you will get the VIP membership for a year, even if you use your 6000 EcoCredits you will continue as a VIP member for that full year but you will lose your VIP membership if you don’t have 6000 EcoCredits. Very important EcoCredits do expire so use them and get some good merch out of it.

The Ecoflow picnic blanket is an accessory I always keep in the trunk. Definitely came in handy at the fair

The EcoFlow Camp Light has quickly become one of my favorite camping essentials. From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed by its sleek, compact design and how lightweight it is – perfect for tossing into a backpack without adding bulk.What truly sets this light apart is its versatility and brightness. It offers multiple lighting modes, including warm, cool, and ambient tones, so whether you’re cooking at the campsite, reading in your tent, or just relaxing under the stars, there’s a setting that fits the mood. The light is surprisingly powerful for its size, easily illuminating a wide area without being harsh on the eyes.Battery life is excellent. I used it for several nights in a row without needing to recharge. And when you do need to top it off, it charges quickly via USB-C – no more fumbling with batteries or proprietary cables. The magnetic base and hanging hook make it super easy to set up wherever you need it – on your car, a tent pole, or a tree branch.EcoFlow nailed it with this one. Durable, reliable, and thoughtfully designed, the Camp Light is ideal for camping, emergency prep, or even backyard evenings. Highly recommended!

I love and am proud of my collection of Ecoflow goodies!

Aka the Bazooka!

I have plenty of power bricks, but my Ecoholism got the best of me… I just had to get one of each RAPID power brick

This is a relatively rare Ecoflow item, who can guess what’s in the box? No bananas for scale

4am when I get up to make my coffee, I flip the EF campaign light on that’s magnetized to my refrigerator and it brighten up the whole kitchen. 🍄 Right now I have four of the camping lights and they’re my go to light when the house goes dark. I spread them around the house and I have lights again 😊

My post favorite EcoFlow accessory isn’t electronic at all, but this space monkey plushie.

On the EF Facebook pages, there are often questions like, "I have two 100w panels hooked up and I'm only getting 40w total input. Are these bad panels?". I think it is rare for panels to be "bad", unless they are damaged or have already been used for several years.There are several reasons that panels will not output to their rating. This is just a layman discussion and others surely know a lot more than I do. Drop anything I miss in the comments1) Do you have your panels outside, and in the sun? People don't know what they don't know and sometimes have the panels set up inside next to a slider (so in sun - but behind glass), or in a shaded area. Neither of those scenarios are conducive to good solar output.2) Is it hot out? The warmer it is, the less likely the panel will output what it is rated for. Testing of the panels is done at around 77*F. Output actually goes down the warmer it is. The colder the panel is, the more likely to get at, or even above, the rated output.3) Is the panel angled correctly to the sun? The optimum angle is at 90* to the sun in both orientations. Anything off of that is likely to reduce the output. This is where an "angle finder" can be helpful. If you have fixed panels set to the recommended angle for your longitude and season, that gives you the best chance to get the most production for fixed angle panels for the entirety of that season. This is not the same as panels on a tracker or manually moved panels that follow the sun at the proper angle of 90* in both directions.4) Is it cloudy? Panels WILL produce something under most conditions, but not to their max capability, and usually not even close. The darker the clouds/overcast, the more severely the output is affected - sometimes down to zero.5) is it hazy? High humidity, wildfire smoke, smog and other conditions will affect productivity. The affect will likely be more than you expect.Pics in order: shaded, not angled for max output, angled correctly (angle finder at top)

My usual set up is 2x220w EF bifacial panels used mainly for smaller stations. I also use 2x320w non-EF rigid panels for my D2M or other stations when the D2M doesn't need charged. However, following a day or two of no solar, I pull out other panels for charging. One day last week I had the following going (in order of pictures)1) a River 3+ on an EF 100w flex panel, 2) an EF 110w panel was waiting for sun to charge a smaller, off-brand station3) the normal 2 x 220w EF bifacial panels were charging a D3+ that is in the shade on my back porch (no, not optimum angle, but works well and makes them easy to move as I avoid the shade)4) the normal 2 x 320w panels charging a D3+ that is back there in the shade (my D2M had enough charge to wait for the next day)5) then I realized I still had another EF 220w bifacial panel and EF stand stored away, so I pulled that out for the River 3+.

My solar production is already hampered by the smoke from Canadian wildfires, but Timon decided to make things worse

Spoiler: I prefer the ecoflow flashlight.seen here in comparison is a Rivian torch, retail for around 100 usd. How does it compare to ecoflow flashlight?well, Rivian torch is smaller, thats about the only pro.Ecoflow flashlight have a zoom function, and central light is brighter than the Rivian torch at smallest focal point, as well providing a larger light cone at the widest point.it can also use AAA batteries with an adapter!

The Ecoflow Frisbee is Samoyed approved. I got this frisbee as a gift and it has been Brooklyn’s favorite toy for the past few months! It’s held up to a ton of abuse but I think it’s time to order a new one 😂
