List of FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions)

I think the forum could have a dedicated post to frequently asked questions and how to troubleshoot. Some things I’m thinking of is how to recalibrate BMS? Can I use a main unit as an extra battery? How much power does my fridge use? Etc.Things we see basically every day on the fb boards.

When the house goes dark

EF is worth every penny I spent. In less than two years, I can’t even count how many times it has saved my two freezers, refrigerator, and even clothes in the washing machine. Yes, Delta 2 finished my wash. Just that alone paid for my investment. I’m gonna start taking more pictures when the power goes out.EF4Life

Heading into hurricane season

As a midwesterner used to tornados and heavy storms but not hurricanes, I am about to head to North Carolina for most of September. Any advice from seasoned pros like those from Florida on how to prepare?

Help me decide.

I need help choosing a device to power my Glacier. Should I get the Glacier battery or the new Trail 300? There is only a price difference of $10.

How do you know when you become an Ecoholic?

How many EcoFlow products does it take to be considered an Ecoholic? Asking for a friend. 😉

Waffles while camping with the River 2 Pro

One of the things I love to do is camp, and cook and eat :)I've been finding things to use my EcoFlow power stations with and my Dash Mini appliances are just perfect to take camping. I have the Dash mini waffle maker (pie maker, griddle, etc.) and they are easily powered by the River 2 Pro. It was a windy and cold morning, so the hot waffles were very welcomed.

Protecting the Station PV Ports when Plugging / Unplugging Everyday

Spring to fall, I use a variety of power stations everyday. Whenever there is solar to be harvested, I take them outside to replenish the charge via solar panels. That means, I am plugging and unplugging into the PV ports nearly every day for 8 months of the year.Having seen a couple of FB posts about PV ports falling inside stations last year, I decided to be proactive in protecting against the possibility. After a lot of internet searching, I came upon a XT60 Male to Female adapter connector plug made with 10AWG cable to run high current for RC Lipo batteries. These Hobby connectors are 8" long, so perfect for leaving hooked up to the stations. I bought a 2 pack thru Amazon After testing it with my first D2M, I got more for other stations. And now, every station I order gets its own "pigtail(s)". I'd rather have an issue with a $6 part than have something happen to the station PV port.People have asked if they are XT60i - no, the ones I have From HobbyPark are just XT60. However, 95% of the time I don't have issues with identification between Car and Solar (which is the most common reason people prefer XT60i). I do have 1 station (D3+ third), that has one port that sometimes does misidentify - even at 250w+. But, between all my EF stations, I have 15 PV ports, so that isn't a bad average as far as I'm concerned.If you want extensions, and not just connectors, or you are set on XT60im I'm sure there are several companies that sell them. Or you could make your own. The shorter ones I use are HobbyPark and they sell on several different sites. Just make sure they are of a good quality and size.1st pic is of D3+ (left) and D2M (right) with pigtails. 2nd pic is of River 3+Max with pigtail

Outdoor Cooking Using My Power Station

During summer when it is hot, to save my mini split extra work, and keep extra humidity down, I usually cook outside. I usually use a Delta 2 Max (D2M) while hooked up to solar panels to run a George Foreman grill to cook hamburgers or steaks (1st pic - from a couple of weeks ago). Today I decided to make a meatloaf in a multicooker (all following pics).Couldn't be easier; make up the meat mixture, throw it in the cooker, set up a camp table next to the D2M while it is charging (note that a D3+ crashed the charging party - 😁), put the cooker on the table and plug it into the D2M, then set the cooker for slow cook - high. Walk away for 3-4 hours, and voila, a nice meatloaf that will last me a week or more (I freeze some).Tips:1) If using a cooker that has a steam vent / thermometer insert hole, cover the hole AFTER the appliance is shut off. While it is cooking the venting steam will keep flies at a distance. Once that steam is no longer forcefully ejected, the flies may be more adventurous. I use painters tape, double layered. You can see the blue tape in the 4th pic.2) Once done cooking using any cooker that has a separate insert, move the cooker to a shaded area (if needed), and remove the insert from the main cooking unit. Let them sit outside for 15 minutes to get rid of some of the heat build up before bringing into the house.

RV powered by Delta Pro 3

Check out my setup running a 2025 Thor Freedom Elite with a DP3 and 2 EBs. I have 1kw of solar on the roof powering the DP3 and the DP3 acts as shore power. I bring the 125w bifacial panels with me in case I need extra solar when boondocking

Canadian and Western US wildfires hurt my solar production

This week's solar production was severely hampered by haze from Canadian and western US wildfires rolling over the Midwest - I am in IllinoisIt is hard to see in the pics but I could visibly see the haze over neighboring fields and could almost look directly at the sun without it hurting my eyes… almost. This cannot possibly be good long-term

Tailgate to tailgate solar panel delivery

Hi, my name is Luke and I am an Ecoholic. It has been a day minutes since my last EcoFlow delivery. Well these solar panels aren’t from EcoFlow per se, but they are for my DPU and future EF devicesNow we are getting serious. Just under the wire to avoid future tariffs, and in time for me to install before the end of the calendar year to take advantage of the federal tax credit. This has been an expensive last four months. And the next few months will be very interesting.

The 2025 LA wildfire

During the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, my home was under attack for the second time in recent times. Living right at the foothills of the mountains, I could see literal rings of fire creeping closer and closer. The entire neighborhood was powerless. Downed power lines. Pitch black. No traffic lights. It truly felt like pre-electricity times.My first concern was my fridge, trying to keep everything fresh. I didn’t know how long the outage would last, so I pulled out every EcoFlow power station I had at the time: Delta OG 1300, River Pro, River 2 Pro, River 3, and River 3 Plus.I knew my fridge couldn’t last long on a single power station, but evacuation orders were in. So I daisy chained a system together where one power station would charge up the next station. Yes, I’d incur a huge AC inefficiency loss, but I wouldn’t be there to swap out power stations.I chained them all up and hooked them to my fridge, then got the hell out of Dodge.Unfortunately, the outage lasted longer than all the valiant EcoFlows could manage. If they had lasted maybe another 10-12 hours or so, I think I would have made it. I had a chance to return home as evacuation warnings downgraded (but power still out), but it slipped my mind that my EV could recharge my EcoFlows, which I could have brought back to the fridge.Nevertheless, I was grateful for all my power stations. But it did kickstart me into the Delta Pro Ultra and Smart Home Panel 2 whole-home backup system. Now I’m prepared for the next emergency, as well as everyday electrical rates arbitrage.

A Brutal Lesson on Shading

A lesson in brutal shading: top array has 9 panels (380w each). Bottom array has 8 panels (380w each) but a tiny bit of shading dropped it to a mere 181 watts compared to 2,130 watts from the top array.I need to create a ground mount for the top array that angles it about 30 degrees to provide space so I can scoot the bottom array up a foot or so to escape the shade an extra couple of hours hopefully.The huge mismatch of solar generation makes my DPU stacks highly imbalanced every day.

Discrimination against Glacier!

Tried to go on a picnic at the lake. Packed up the Glacier Classic 55L with drinks, strawberries, and popsicles. Then the sign turned us away...sad.

Post your solar record!

What’s the highest amount of solar you’ve generated a day on your ecoflow?I’ll start. 34.67 kwh off a 5.82 kw system, 4kw mobile ground mount, 1.2kw portable solar, and 620w portable solar on a firewood shed.

Delta 3 powering the paddle board pump

I’m finding all kinds of uses around the house for my power stations. I got a paddle board with the electric pump and the pump only operates via 12V DC for the car. I tried the pump with the River 2 Pro and just would not pump, but it worked perfectly with the Delta 3. I’m not sure why there was an issue with the River 2 Pro since it was only pulling around 90W and there wasn’t a warning on the screen. It took about 10 minutes to fully inflate the paddle board with the Delta 3 and didn’t use much of the battery capacity. Good to be able to test 12V items in the house and not have to take everything out to the SUV to test.

Cooling at the park

Recently, I was waiting for a Shakespeare in the Park show to start in the neighborhood. But in the sweltering summer heat, the Wave 3 provided great spot cooling. Even though it's noisy on Max mode, no one could really hear with the wind and kids running around. Perfect outdoor companion, along with some EcoFlow camping chairs and picnic blanket.

Portable setup with the River Series and Celestron 127 SLT Telescope

My Celestron 127 SLT telescope is a powered tracking telescope. It does have a battery compartment that uses AA batteries, but changing the batteries got tedious. Since the telescope has a DC5521 port and the River 2 Pro also has the DC5521 port (with the cable included in the box), I started using the River 2 Pro to power the telescope. Bonus: I could charge my phone and other stuff while using the telescope.When I got the River 3 Plus I was excited to use it since it was smaller, lighter and much more portable until I realized it did not have a DC5521 port! Then I remembered I own a car charging cable that can power my telescope and YAY! Winning combination. Since then I’ve bought a USB-C to DC5521 cable that’s longer than the 12V DC cable so I have options no matter which power station I use.I do wish that the River 3 Plus would fit on the tray of the telescope to help stabilize it, but it can’t fit in that space. This setup is easy to carry and can work for days without interruption.
