Hi, If I was to buy EcoFlow Ocean Pro, not be connected at all to the electricity power grid, not use a power generator, ie sole source of electrical energy input are the (25kw) solar array & Eco Flow ( LiFEPo4) batteries AND IF the internet went down for say 4 months or so - would my Ocean Pro battery system still work ? Ie: will my offgrid Ocean Pro system still work if I had no access to the internet & thus no ability (or desire) to download Firmware updates. ? Thanks Bernard L (Melbourne, Australia).

Now even my three year old knows about the importance of always carrying a charge!

Love this little unit for running a cooler to do quick errands and keeping products cold or frozen for ice cream, vegetables, fruits,milk, drinks. I think I got 4 hours out of it by DC charge. Love the carry handle for when hands are full.

The trail powered my 12v ball inflator to inflate soccer balls, basketballs, and kick balls for 14 classrooms! No sweat!

I have a phone that has a 5,000mah battery.An EF 5,000 Power Bank doesn't come close to completely recharging when my phone is down to 30%An EF10,000 Power Bank uses 62% of its capacity when recharging my phone from 30%So, I'm struggling to reconcile the implication of the names. I do see in the EF 5,000 power bank manual where it "rated" capacity is 3,200 mah (but it's "capacity" is 5,000). The EF 10,000 specs show 6,200 "rated" versus 10,000 capacity. (and as an aside, why can I not download the 10,000 user manual, only view it, but I can download the 5,000 manual).I have an old, 10,000 mah Pocket Juice power bank (that I'm pretty sure I bought in 2014) that does not specify a "rated" capacity, but certainly doesn't use as much percentage to charge my phone.So, why the discrepancy between the "capacity" and "Rated capacity" numbers. There seem to be a huge difference at 64% for the smaller power bank and 62% of the larger power bank.

The thing I love most about the Rapid Pro 27k, besides its nearly maxed out battery capacity for air travel, is the AI generative art you can use for the screensaver. EcoFlow has given a few options that let you produce various art scenes you can use. Very futuristic.The retractable built-in cable is really nice to have on hand, though it's a bit fragile-feeling (super thin, but I guess that's by design) and too short for my preferences.It also counts battery cycles, though it used to also have a "healthy battery count" that has now been removed via a software update (now only found on the Rapid Pro X if I'm not mistaken). However, I am confused how it counts cycles. I have 1.09 kwh power input, 720 wh power output, but 21 cycles, rather than 11 cycles. I definitely didn't plug in to charge 21 times, only maybe a max of 5 times so far.I got the Chinese box version, which has the requisite CCC (China Compulsory Certification) logo needed for air travel in China printed on the bottom of the device itself. I don't think the English box versions have this. Can someone confirm?I also noticed a few weird phenomena.1) the WiFi/bluetooth turns itself off, which disconnects me from the app. I had to re-enable from the hardware screen, not the app.2) today, I had nothing plugged in (no cables, no devices), and the hardware screen showed 0 w output. But the app showed 0.4w output on the C1 port for several minutes, indicated by an arrow arrow.

So many choices, so much fun! The new RAPID lineup just got launched...Take your pick from various power outputs, configurations, built-in prongs and charging cables, magnetic add-on upgrades, stylish cover upgrades, and a desktop charger!https://us.ecoflow.com/collections/power-bank?ref=navi

The problem with current solar battery banks is that 1. They can't be put in direct sunlight. 2. Any sun light will cause it to charge, turning on the charging light and drains the battery because the panel isn't strong enough to turn the charge light on and charge the battery. 3 since it can't be in direct sunlight it won't get enough current to charge and it takes many days in direct sunlight for it to charge, the irony is , direct sunlight is needed but can't be put in direct sunlight. In the shade the charging light drains the battery. If ecoflow could make a solar battery bank that addresses these issues that would be great. Something 5,000 mah-10,000 mah.

I ordered the Trail 300DC when it was first offered. I knew it would be useful for charging my phone and Kindle, but I didn't really expect to like it as much as I do after just a short time (about 10 dyas).I used to use an old Oscal 700 to charge my devices (that was my first solar power station). It has worked well, but has its drawbacks: it's large, is heavier (17 pounds), is older battery tech, and it has limited input for solar along with an anderson port (I have one dedicated solar panel for that hook up). The biggest thing was it is large and takes up a good chunk of real estate on my coffee table. I would keep it on another side table, and move it when I needed to charge. But, I would realize I needed to a charge a device after I had settled on the couch and at least one cat was comfy on my lap. Although I could just reach the Oscal from the couch, it is heavy enough that the awkward position and contortions needed made it very difficult to lift, rotate, then place down on the coffee table.Yes, I could use a EF 5,000mah power bank for charging, but it literally does not have enough capacity to charge my phone all the way up if it is down to 25% (it is more handy for on the go charging). So, along comes the Trail 300DC and everything changed.The Trail 300 has a nice small footprint and I keep it on my coffee table so it is handy to charge my devices without disturbing me, or more importantly my cats 😄. It can be charged using one of my existing EF 220w portable panels that I have set up all the time, and use everyday. Because of that, I usually get a full 110w input, so charging is very fast. I even used it to finish charging the Oscal the other day when 5 hours of being hooked to a solar panel did not quite top it up. Bonus, only one button to push for DC power to turn on.Pictures: 1) Oscal charging the Trail 300 for the first time. This shows how giant the Oscal is (D3+ without the handles size). 2) Trail 300 charging on my porch.

I have a remote shed that has 480V for an irrigation pump but no 120V to run a light (legally required), and a fan for keeping the VFD cooler. Summertime use only.The Good: I recently installed a Trail 200 to act as the power supply for this remote shed. The price is the same as cobbling together your own solution with a solar charge controller, box, battery, etc and a lot less effort to get it working, plus a lot smaller form factor.The Bad: the 50W solar panel should have been 100W if I'm going to run a 10W 12V fan.. (Also ecoflow doesn't sell a fixed-install panel). Ooops.The Ugly: The 12V output is a soft switch so if the battery drains down far enough it doesn't turn back on when power is restored, it requires human intervention. Really need to do away with non-programmable soft switches (this isn't the only product with this problem). Oddly the USB output doesn't have this problem so I'm going to have to buy a ghost USB conversion kit to get the required 12V.

I have a lot of power banks over the years. Being a Samsung user, I didn't get into the mag charging until later. For my daily backup use, the EcoFlow Rapid 5k has been my favorite to use (especially the ones that came with the R3+ wireless). They are light, easy to charge with the R3+ wireless slot so they are always ready, and the built in cable is robust and just long enough to connect to the USB C port while connected wireless. For my longer outings I'll take the Rapid 10k, but it is noticably heavier. I do like it for the screen so I can see just how fast it's charging my phone. Whats your favorite and what features do you like best?

I have all of them 5,000 rapid +10,000 rapid + 5,000 rapid plus. I use them walking at meetings,fairs, malls, steam engine shows, grocery shopping. The 10,000 has the app control and makes it nice to check case it gets left on. These go on sale alot. Pick one up if you get a chance. I use the cord cause my phone is a 2016 Samsung Galaxy 10 lite.

The Trail is small and and practical. I love that I can charge my devices just about anywhere. It even doubles as a headphones holder! LOL😂

Check out my new 10k Charger! I saw everyone else with them, and need more power when we goto Disney and power is scarce!

Anyone curious about comparisons between the Ecoflow Trail and the Anker Solix? I believe I’ve got the comparisons covered. Ask away here

Testing for a mobile setup when using the RV. The Trail 200 and 300 can run a Nintendo Switch 2 on a dock when you don’t have AC power available. I plan on projecting a Switch 2 outdoors on our next RV trip, and everything will be powered by Ecoflow products!

Getting ready for a 4 day camping trip and making sure everything is full before hitting the road. The TRAIL 200 will be center stage over the weekend when everyone needs to top up their phones. I’ll save my RIVERs and DELTAs for use in my tent :)

I used to use the glacier battery to power my Starlink mini when camping with the RV. It’s compact and lasts a long time.I’m now going to use the Trail 200/300 DC because of two reasons, I can see the remaining capacity and I can recharge it while it powers the Starlink mini!

I can’t believe it’s “Bring your EcoFlow to work” day already! Where does the time go?Anyway, if you’re looking for a promotion, don’t set up a tripping hazard because your laptop won’t last through the meeting.Be the hero of the room and break out the EcoFlow Trail. Your boss will thank you, promote you, you’ll drive off into the sunset in your convertable car, and you will live happily ever after. Probably.Or maybe you just need some juice while working remotely. Either way it’s a good option. Fits in most backpacks with room to spare. Auto times out after 1 minute so you don’t need to worry about it being on and overheating in your bag.

I was finishing up some work and forgot my charger at home. The rapid came in handy with just enough juice. I love this thing!
