EcoFlow Delta Max 2000 & 220w Solar Panel Review - Using Power tools with the Delta Max.

EcoFlowDelta Max 2000 Review and 220w Solar Panel Review. I test the Delta Max by using it to run my power tools, angle grinders both big and small.

I then make a set of Bookends for a bookcase out of Railway Track by cutting two pieces of track on an angle using a 9-inch angle grinder, the whole project was powered by the Delta Max 2000. The full video of the Railway Track Book End project will be up on my channel soon.
I enjoyed putting the Delta Max to the test, to decide if the delta would be a good asset to have in our home if there was a power outage, or if we found ourselves in an emergency situation. My answer to that is a very big "YES", plus this unit does not need to just sit there waiting for an emergency to be used, I can use it in my normal lifestyle when we are camping on the side of the river, or doing a bit of DIY type work, plus added bonus using the solar panel to get that lovely free power.
This Delta is a perfect match for me. The 220w solar panel impressed me also, I feel even more confident in them as I have tested them in very cloudy conditions and they still performed well
Hope you found something of use in my video or at least found it entertaining.

This was sensational, I loved it. I totally want one. Maybe my next big investment. Fantastic review. Honest, and pushed to the limits.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Thank you very much Robbie Fishing, I am sure you would love it, check out their website, they have smaller and larger ones than this. I appreciate your feedback on the review, thank you.

[@garymorris6819]

The LCD on that Delta Max is quite impressive. It is bright and it actually indicates how long it it will last with the current draw.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Yes, I love knowing what is happening when I am doing things, plus I have learned a bit more about things I have plugged into it too.

[@bradleytuckwell4881]

What an amazing bit of gear so handy to have thanks for bringing as along on a great review.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

I was certainly impressed with what it could do, thank you for your feedback, Bradley.

[@garthbutton699]

I subscribed initially because of your iron working vids rails and rebar,but this battery/solar panel was a bonus,thanks from the states

[@GavinClarkdiy]

I am glad you liked it, Garth, it certainly fits nicely with what I do.

[@garyjones2582]

Mr. R, looks like a nice charging station.. can't wait to see projects using it.. Take care my friend..

[@GavinClarkdiy]

I will have the book end video up next and that was made only using the power from this unit. Thank you for your comment Gary.

[@UserName_no1]

Somewhat of a change from your usual videos isn't it?🤔 I like it.😃 Seems like it'd come in as a right handy and reliable backup if a generator couldn't perform the task. Maybe reserve it for smaller draining appliances to further extend battery life if solar charging was your only option. That high wattage charging rate even when the sun was partially blocked was really impressive. Thanks Gavin.👍 BTW, liked the bookends too.😉

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment, I am sure this will get quite a bit of use here with my DIY projects, we should have mostly nice days now that spring is here, I plan to just use the solar to charge it, making it all free power to play with. Thank you for your comment.

[@blackviewderevenskiy5744]

Правильное решение переходить на солнечную энергию! Надо спасать Планету! Молодец!

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Да, плюс все становится немного нестабильным из-за отключений электроэнергии. Спасибо за ваш комментарий.

Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment Robert.

[@davem7847]

For those interested, I have used an 8000 BTU window AC on the Main Delta Max 2000 with Extra Smart battery for about 8 hours cooling in the house set at 73 degrees faranheit. It wasn't hot and compressor did not come on much. I used only about 1/3 of the capability of the 2 batteries.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Thank you for that information Dave, it is good to know how it went.

[@donaldmayfield9159]

Thanks Gavin for the video. I think 2016Wh is more than enough to power a lot of stuff. I think I can even use during campouts.

[@paulsharpe3794]

Hi there not your normal hitting bits of rebar, But it's the best video on the echo flow normally it's just here we are using it so you're walk around and then putting it through your normal routine was great well done and I hope that they support you again as you did a great job

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Thank you very much for your feedback Paul. Cheers

[@eugenesayles7160]

Aside from using it to power tools. I think this would be an impressive unit to serve as an emergency back up power system to power my home in an emergency.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

That is my thoughts too, a very handy thing to have around.

[@douglasfathers4848]

We'll Gavin Now there is no excuse to not make a video , If the power is out just use the EcoFlowDelta Max 2000 . Awesome Review mate you done Fantastic job on the Demonstration , And who needs the Instruction book after watching this video Good job mate .😅😵‍💫👍📴🤠

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Thank you very much, Douglas, I very much appreciate your feedback. You are right no excuses now, I can do my metalworking down the beach in between swims and still have the fridge running there. Cheers

[@manoelgfarias2035]

Thank my friend

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Thanks for watching.

[@jannikachang6448]

Wow, this looks amazing ... especially now with the cost of electricity constantly rising

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Yes, it is going to save me a quite a bit over time I think.

[@briconajib4584]

Bonjour mon ami 👍 merci beaucoup pour l'explication, vous êtes un homme unique, bravo bon courage et bonne chance 👍 salutations à vous du moroco 🙏🇲🇦🙏🙋

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Merci beaucoup, je suis heureux que cela vous ait plu. Salutations d'Australie.

[@LawtonDigital]

I like the look of your rail bookends. Do you have any tips for getting the ends so flat? Now that the weather here is moving in, I think this would make a great foul weather project.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

I think the best thing is to keep the grinder moving all the time in circles, if you have a high section, take it all down together don't take one bit done then the next, check it all the time with a nice stiff ruler in lots of directions, I don't use it much but a belt sander works well for this sort of stuff. I hope that helps a bit.

[@tobus71]

Gavin, that was an excellent instructional/demonstration! Do you know how rugged it is? If you use it as a power source when going off road what kind of abuse can it handle? Cheers and Thanks.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

No, sorry I haven't tested it on rough tracks, but it feels very solid, and it is a lithium battery, they advertise it for camping, I certainly will be taking it with me on my 4WD trips, it has a very solid handle at the top on both ends so I will be strapping it down using that. I have just got the protective cover to keep the dust out of it. I hope that helps you a bit. Jump on the website, and contact them, they will give you more info. Thank you for your comment, Cheers.

[@tomredmond]

Interesting.

[@goptools]

Hi Gavin, That's a pretty impressive little unit. While you were running the angle grinders, I couldn't help but wonder if it could power a small mig welder and if so, for how long? My portable gas generator can do it but it is loud and you get tired of it after a short time. Definetely a handy item. Thanks for the video! -mike

[@GavinClarkdiy]

I have seen one running a MIG on youtube, but I have not tried mine, being old school as I am, I am a bit sceptical about doing it, also as it is not something I would use other than in a test to see if it would. I am sure if you ask the question on their website (Link is in the description) with your welder's specs, they would be able to tell you. I do agree generators get annoying after a while, and this would be a better setup, I wish you the best.

[@RayAttanasio]

Gav. Long time no see. How’s things with you m8? That’s a very impressive piece of equipment. Very convenient. Hey. Keep an eye on that belt buckle. Don’t let it go too far out. 🍻 Stay well mate. 👍🏻

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Hahaha, all is going very well, as you noticed I have not run out of food yet, I am feeling I need to move a bit more, winter is coming to an end, I will have to do something about it, I am too tight to buy new clothes. I hope you are well, keep safe mate.

[@RayAttanasio]

@@GavinClarkdiy mate. I know exactly how you feel. I’m struggling here too. hahaha Keep on posting. Cheers

[@harrishuntTV]

I did not expect that the Delta Max would have 20016Wh of capacity in that portable package.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

It is a very compact unit, 2016Wh is quite a lot to have avaliable anywhere I want it.

[@MadDog101]

Projecta had a similar item they sold & it would also jump start anything up to 400 ton. It vanished off the market 12 months ago or more. This seems to be the only replacement. When people fully realise how useful these are they will sell in large numbers.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

I agree, I for one did not know how good the Delta was and I was just amazed at what it could do, so much has changed over the years, batteries used to be just batteries, but now they are better and have so many extras.

[@LawtonDigital]

Worksite... how rugged is this unit? Will it survive bouncing around my truck bed tool box as I drive down a two-track to a remote site? How weatherproof is this unit? Can it survive... - all weather - in my truck bed tool box - only in the cab of my truck - indoor use only

[@GavinClarkdiy]

I haven't tested it on rough tracks, but it feels very solid, and it is a lithium battery, they advertise it for camping, I certainly will be taking it with me on my 4WD trips, it has a very solid handle at the top on both ends so I will be strapping it down using that. I have just got the protective cover to keep the dust out of it. I don't see it as indoor only, but I don't see myself leaving it outside the tent all day in the weather ether, etc. I won't have mine sliding around in the tray of my truck I will keep it safe away from things sliding or dropping things onto it, and just run a lead from it. Waterproof? It says not to get it wet so that answers that question. Thats my thoughts anyway. Hope that helps, check out the webesite for more info.

[@LawtonDigital]

@@GavinClarkdiy That's good to know. Sounds like it would work best belted into the cab of a truck with the solar panels right there on the roof... just don't drive off like that!

[@GavinClarkdiy]

@@LawtonDigital That is the way I was thinking, of setting the unit up. Driving off and forgetting the lead, hahaha, I throw a rag over the steering wheel if there is some reason not to drive off, just to give me the hint I need at times. Thanks, mate, Cheers.

[@johnnymoore6730]

Seems like the Delta Max did not have any problems powering all the tools you used in the video.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

It seemed to do it easy, I have since run my 8-inch bench grinder from it, I am very happy with it.

[@torowazup1]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼🍎😎

[@davem7847]

Gavin, A VERY IMORTANT INSTRUCTION, DO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY FROM AC WALL OUTLET AND USE THE REAR AC OUTLETS AT THE SAME TIME, IT TRIPS AN INTERNAL PROTECTOON CIRCUIT THAT WILL MAKE IT IMPOSIBLE TO CHARGE THE BATTERY USING WALL OUTLET, REQUIRING YOU TO SEND IT BACK TO ECOFLOW. I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY. 0:13

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Thank you Dave, I have done just what you have said a number of times and have had no problem, maybe I am not drawing much from the unit, of not much charge going in, but so far I have not had any troubles. Did Ecoflow tell you this when you returned your unit to them.

[@davem7847]

@@GavinClarkdiy They told me it was probably the reason. I got confused with combination of charging methods. But for now I made it easy, either charge or use (output), but not at the same time.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

@Dave M Thanks Dave for getting back to me, I appreciate it.

[@johntheman9882]

What's the difference between the 1600 and the 2000? is it worth it?

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Hi John, I am sorry but I personally have not used the 1600, so I don't know much about it. I can say I am very impressed with the 2000 and the way it handles the power tools I use and our other devices. I am sorry can't help you more, they were great at EcoFlow when I was working out what I needed, jump on the website have a look and have a chat.

[@davidparker7156]

how does the back of the panel get sun?

[@GavinClarkdiy]

I have copied this from their website there is more info there if you want to have a look. "With a 220W primary side, and a 155W side on the back for ambient light, you can capture up to 25% more solar energy and charge your portable power station even faster. Try a mirrored surface and you can get up to 80% more energy." There is a link in the description under the video, I hope this helps.

Using the links in the description it says it is in stock, I take it you are not in Australia? The top link there is to Ecoflows website they may be able to help you out. Wish you the best.

[@torowazup1]

Ouch on price 😢 direct

[@GavinClarkdiy]

EcoFlow has smaller units on the website, if I only wanted one for weekend camping, I think I would be getting one a bit smaller, I wanted one to do the workshop, backup and camping. The link is in the Description.
