Just bought an ecoflow delta 2 max with the alternator charger for $1199 on Black Friday sale. Will buy one extra 100amp 1280wh Temgot battery for $169 on amazon. The perfect modular setup, to be used the exact same way you’ve described it without any extra hardware. Future is bright

100% agree with your game plan. It's like a car yes my car can go up to 100 mph but its not wise to run like that all the time. Aside from the ticket problem Lol it would ruin your motor a lot faster.

Helped me for sure. I'm an amateur. Thank you sir!

GEORGOUS TRUCK !!!!

Great info! Thank you!!

I have a Ecoflow Delta two that has a 11-60vd.c. With a 15 amp max input. I want to use my diesel heater’s AGM battery. It is a 12v w/ 100 Ah with a constant voltage charge of 14.4-14.8 and an initial charge current of less than 30 amps. What do I need to make this work?

Good info.....wish i had consistent sun. 😢👍🤠

Nice Video

This should work even if you have added the expansion battery, right?

Does this mean you could just charge the battery from solar which would charge the generator and skip charging the battery directly at any time except when plugged in to AC? The generator can't charge the battery, can it?

Wow! I might still expand my Anker Solex c-1000 with their battery because it's on sale and immediate, but the lightbulbs of understanding are starting to turn on and your videos have been really helpful. Eventually I'll build from scratch. Thanks!

What size generators

OK, so how about recharging battery?

Buck converters step voltage down, it is actually a boost converter. You need to show how to recharge the external batteries to go full cycle for power. That is the main advantage of buying the fancy batteries that connect direct, they will recharge directly if you have solar. I build my own power systems but I have used the MPPT inputs to charge from power supplies or batteries. It is a good technique to know though.

Can you then just attach the 24vdc lithium charger to the battery when you want to recharge battery without disconnecting battery from power station? I have 2 24 dc 100 amp I want to run in parallel. And disconnect them to recharge to keep balanced.

the f3800 from anker is a beast it does 240v split phase cant do that with this

I had already learned this trick, refilling a little Bluetti' EB3A off of a 50 Ah the advice to leave it plugged up and use up the external battery first was helpful .

This is good but incomplete info. I am doing the same thing with my Ecoflow and a 165Ah lipo4 battery. You have to remember that the official expansion batteries will also charge from head unit. With this approach, you have figure out how to charge the external battery and add that to the cost calculation. You need to purchase an external battery charger along with the other components. As long as you take that into consideration, this is a great solution.

Can an extra LiPo4 battery be used with the Bluetti Elite 200 v2 to expand watt hours?

What a great and informative video. I have purchased the power station and will get the external battery soon!

OK, great idea, but how do you expand your battery capacity while still having solar connected?

Your whole channel is on this same idea.

Okay, this works great in charging the power station. Now, how about some slick ways to charge those batteries with solar?

But how much Redstone do I need for an infinity battery?

Can someone explain why a 30amp fuse on the positive between the battery and power station? Thank you kindly.

Maybe it’s the head cold I currently have, but I’m not sure how understand correctly. Is the advantage of the Redodo DC to DC charger just that you can connect that charger to either your alternator of solar panels? You can also have the same setup with any solar charge converter (MPPT or PWM) between your solar panels and Lifepo4 battery, right? Then you just have cables from your lifepo4 battery to your solar input of your battery bank, just not able to connect to your alternator?

Good info but you need to slow down your camera movement.

Concrete piers poured to support Hight do not move. Brackets move take it from a 40 year concrete man.

Oorah! From a fellow jarhead. Any idea if this scenario would work for my Inergy Flex 1500? Thanks for any help. Also a fellow Jeeper.

That's how I do it charge by solar on both battery and station for 3to 4hrs then fire up genny with chargers to both for another couple hrs while camper runs from genny all at same time from 3500watt generator

I got that one... what setting are you using?

But everyone says not to use different size batteries on a battery bank through a dc to dc charger?

I have Bluetti EB3A outputting ~150W 24/7 on utility power in UPS mode. The PV is rated 28V 8.3A. I have a 24V 2-FLA Deep Cycle battery bank to connect to the PV input. When connected to the PV input the EB3A stays in UPS mode (AC still connected) and it will draw 3.8W from the battery bank. If the AC disconnects then the 24V will carry the 150W and keep the EB3A at 100% charge. Stopped test at 80% battery discharge after 4.5 hours. I do not have PV and charge controller functioning yet so having to charge batteries off line.

Yes sir, no water bills here. 540' well on a Grundfos SQFLEX well pump with 1150 watts of used Solar panels @ $45.00 ea. & genny connection. Got 8 panels & 4 of the BigBattery used Lithiums for the Garage. You must pretty far north judging from the tilt of those panels. Were around 45° Thx for sharing!

We are doing the same. Love your roof color chouce also. We just got our cabin dried in. 32'x40' . No bills! subbed & liked

Yeah it's worth it, we have been offgrid too since 2016.

hey, great video. I'm looking to set up some cameras on our property, but I would rather be able to access them live. The interwebs are a mess of information good and bad, I was wondering if you can point me in a direction. Thanks, dude!

The reason why it didn’t draw a lot might have been because the power station was almost full. Most of them are programmed to slow the charge way down when they are almost full.

Last summer i did about the same you did here, i charged my Allpower R600 from a DC-house 12.8v 100amps battery while the battery also was connected by 2 Dokio portable 80W foldable pannels in paralel and the deplition (hope wrote correct i am Dutch) was way slower on the battery. So it worked without an extra controler or did i damage something doing so? Thnx for any advice.

Trying to get the wiring correct. So you will need an anderson to ring terminal also to connect from the dc to DC converter to the battery. And the cables you suggested is this correct ?? Thx

This seems like a better solution then using a couple boost converters. I see people use them but its not the most efferent way to go about it in an energy storage setup. The dc to dc charger would be the most efficient way to go about this. I just purchased an ecoflow delta 2 max. Its not enough to run my house so I am looking at adding expansion storage. I cannot afford what I want so I will need to be creative to meet my goals. I don't have a hole lot running in my house, router, a couple computers, fridge, a few lights and the stove occasionally. I would like to be able to run the fridge, router, one PC and two lights. for a minimum of 3 days, one week of power storage would be ideal though. With current events and the poor power grid I live on, we lose power every couple months for a few hours and at least once a year we lose power for multiple days. the last time this happened was in January and we froze. I will never go through that again if I can help it. I even purchased propane heater and 20 pound tank for events like that. Sucks being an adult. I wish I could spend my money on thing I want not need once in a while.
