EcoFlow Delta Max Full Review | Product Testing and Explanation

[@christopherbennett4559]

A couple days with out power. Last hurricane we was out for 7 weeks with out power. One man got shot trying to fight over gas for his generator. No gas pumps worked they was closed down and it was over 100 degrees. This is a game changer and possibly a life saver no killing people over gas .

[@steher]

Buy a generator that uses propane and stock up. Propane never goes bad.

[@americandude3825]

The reality of it: people will always kill each other over dumb things. When emergencies happen…most people lose all sense of reasoning. My goal: BBB = beans, bullets, bandaids Beans - food on hand to support my family for up to six months Bullets - protect my family from any threat or provide food for them Band aid - first aid and other medical on hand to help Also can be used to barter. What I am working on now: ecoflow delta max and one extra battery for it as well as two ecoflow Bifacial solar panels. This is to compliment my generac gp8000e generator. As you mentioned - during a real emergency, gas will be gone. It is not realistic for me to store 20-30 gallons of gas. Therefore my generator will only have 10 gallons which is only good for about 16 hours of run time at 50%. Therefore I will use the ecoflow to power everything I need, charge it with the solar panels. The generator will be used only when absolutely required - and can also be used to charge the ecoflow if needed at two hours per charge of the ecoflow back to 100% (approximate). As a note about propane: it never goes bad as mentioned by the other gentleman, and it burns much cleaner. However, it burns twice as fast as gasoline and the cost for 20 gallons right now is roughly $55. (Similar to gasoline cost) Take care.

Max you just save my butt. I had pluged my internet to my EcoFlow Delta Max pushed the on button in the front and had no internet. I got on my phone and found you on youtube who pointed out the button on the bad. Thank you for going step by step and explaining every thing so well to us.

[@mountainbase-tehachapilive]

The "slow" wall charge setting should help extend the cycle life of the battery as well. Nice feature.

[@joaquimpipa4842]

Thanks so much, I just purchased the max and charged it on fast speed, didn’t know about the slow setting, thanks, also I like the speed at which you did the review, not slow dragging and not fast where we miss points, much thanks.

I have the Ecoflow Delta and River. I like that feature, too. I got a refurbished Bluetti and dislike that it only shows bars in their display, and takes 3-4 times longer to charge. I'm wondering if the Ecoflows can be charged via windmill, too.

Sold...its a costly set up @$5,000 Aus but with fuel shortages and price hikes Solar is the way to Go with Battery Backup...a Solar Panel Video would be useful for those who are new - advice buy double the panels than you need ie 300 watt buy 600 not having enough wattage is frustrating when your powers out and you need to charge the batteries or run appliances...soft solar panels are great, there lighter, fold up, go anywhere, place anywhere buy a stand to lean them on for protection and maximum sun input...great video

The slow charge wattage is adjustable in the app. The default is 400. Can be set From 200watts to the full 1600 watts. I want to run a ALP propane generator to charge. They are only 1000w. So I had to verify the slow charge feature in the manual.

How many charge cycles and what percentage of efficiency does it eventually drop to ? Thx

[@sophieboisvert]

Shop solar kit answers other peoples questions and likes them but doesn't answer your which is a very good question since eco flow is known for low charge cycle 1000 max on the 1300 maybe that is telling

[@mothertaracey2510]

Where did you get the expansion battery? INn Canada they do not sell expansion batteries, per se

[@Gstonesheat]

Great video brotha.

[@steher]

With an outage, you never know how long it will be. Running a kettle or anything that draws a lot of energy is just dumb. Hook it up to the fridge and keep your food from spoiling. Use a propane stove to heat food. That's a much smarter way to do things. If you can pay 1800+ for this and 1400+ for each battery, you can afford propane and a mini stove. I have the Delta Max and I plan on adding 2 more batteries to it to keep my fridge and freezer going as long as possible. Adding solar panels is a good idea as well. You can charge with solar during the day while the power is out but the EF panels are way over priced. At home, any good panel(s) will work.

[@ShopSolarKits]

Hi there, you're right that if you're in an outage and you do not know when the power is coming back, its probably a good idea not to use your kettle unless absolutely necessary. Conserving energy is the name of the game! I hope you're enjoying the Delta Max!

[@sharetherisk7647]

It is amazing how many Delta MAX reviews, including this one, FAIL to highlight a MAJOR feature limitation regarding battery chemistry. Why the secrecy? It truly is MIND BOGGLING. When tossing around the term "lithium" consumers reasonably believe the manufacturer/reviewer is talking about LiFePo (LFP) battery chemistry, however, the Delta Max is spec'd with NMC chemistry which provides significantly lower life cycle than LFP. What does "life cycle" mean that the reviewers mostly FAIL to address? The simple answer is how many recharge cycles can be expected before the batteries start to degrade. What does "degrade" mean? Simply means the battery(s) will not recharge to their original full capacity. Most documentation suggests up to 75% LESS long term performance of NMC vs. LFP chemistry. Seems this is more important than popping popcorn or misstating "condenser" when the correct term is compressor. Interestingly, the Delta Pro provides LFP chemistry so the use of NMC in the Delta Max is even more curious considering both items are premium priced. There are other differences, mostly negative, associated with NMC vs LFP - bottom line, do your research. It is a shame EcoFlow cut this corner on the Delta MAX since otherwise it is the most feature packed solar generator on the market by a wide margin. Have a message into EcoFlow Support asking about this issue and if there is any update as of 03/22 I will update this message.

[@killakali9845]

Tbo i feel these setups are pretty good. In the next couple years tech will be much better. No one keeps these for 10 years lol. Sell it on ebay and cycle out for new, better tech. Also you can get these on ebay for very cheap Remanufactured direct from exoflow with two year warranty. I received ecoflow delta and free delta river for$900 bucks unbeatable deal.

[@kingofkings2934]

@@killakali9845 wow I just look into ebay options becuase of you amazing deals seem good to be true!!!

[@ThanksForTheLaugh]

yes do your research, then look at how you will use the unit. 800 cycles 0 to 100% then 80% capacity for Max. if you use it couple times per week then that's years of use. more if you follow recommendations of 20% 80% limits. on the other hand if you're a banging KZbin commenter who does a cycle everyday, then look at other chemistry's, right tool for the job.

[@EricGonzalez-bd1qd]

@@ThanksForTheLaugh exactly. And even if he did cycle daily, it would take over 2 years of DAILY use to reach the 80% so that's still not bad haha. If he's using it daily he's probably hauling it around and plugging unplugging things and chances are the unit will need replaced due to physical abuse before the battery fails lol.

[@orionwaves]

I just bought this item and have heard about the battery throughout the internet with my research. I imagine if you used it often it could be a problem but I bought it for emergencies and from what I can tell, it is the BEST out there in it's category.

[@joshuahorner2639]

You can connect 2 of the 400W panels for fastest charge.

[@mikephillips9311]

Ok, but can you tell me how long the delta max can run (how many hours) a 10.5 amp AC power tool? Thank you.

[@voltron5128]

Delta Max is great but for the price I'd rather get 2 Old Deltas. Much more versatile and flexible. Let's imagine there was a tornado and your whole neighborhood lost power but there's power everywhere else in the city. Being able to leave 1 Delta running the fridge and what ever else while you get a quick 1.6 hr charge on the other would be ideal. With 1 Delta Max you'd have to have a solar power panel and hope the weather is good, have a gas generator on site to recharge or just take the Max somewhere else to charge.

[@Dew-ki3ei]

Can you connect 2 Delta Max units, as opposed to 1 Delta Max and expansion battery? I have 1 Delta Max. thinking about getting a 2nd.

[@sally2uand2dogz]

Once the EcoFlow Delta Max is fully charged, can you just unplug it from the wall or do you leave it plugged in all the time? And how long will it hold the charge when not plugged in and not in use? Sorry if the questions seem silly, I am just not familiar with this kind of unit...and all I know is I am tired of trying to get our pull cord gas generator going when the power goes out...too hard for this old woman. LOL Oh one more question will this power a sump pump when the power goes out for several hours? Thanks so much looking forward to a response.

Hey there, Once it is charged you can unplug it! These will hold a charge for roughly 12 months

Do you think there is much difference between delta max 2000 and delta max 1600. the 1600 is on sale for almost $500 less than the max2000. i plan on using to backup a refrigerator and chest freezer primariliy if power goes out. if needed i plan on getting addon battery. delta pro is just too big and way way more expensive. thoughts?

[@allthecommonsense]

Biggest difference is the number of recharge cycles before the battery is negatively impacted. 800 for the 2000 and I think only 500 for the 1600.

[@josephdonnaway5755]

I have the Delta Max and one extra smart battery and with a simple adapter plug I use it for my 50 amp RV shore power. Fridge, microwave, even recharging house batteries - perfect. My only disappointment is that I was hoping to do a slow recharge from the 400w inverter in my 2021 RAM 2500 as I tow. I learned that the Delta Max requires pure sine wave inverter input to charge, and the truck inverter is not PSW. Trying to figure a way around this without risking the truck warranty. I do have two of their 160w solar panels - brilliant gear - so charging while stationary will be practical.

[@davidarnold344]

You can charge straight from the DC of the truck. The Car charger can operate on 24v at 8 amps. 12v at 8 amps. But through the app you can lower the DC amp to match your DC outlet in the truck so you dont pop a fuse.

[@doodlecrayon222]

So do these new generators take the place of the off grid solar panel deep cycle batteries? Are these new generators just as reliable as the batteries? And are they used as a permanent battery replacement?

Lithium is much more efficient than AGM batteries. These are great for emergency preparedness and even off grid living depending on what you are trying to run via solar. We hope this helps!

Nun man ist leider dumm, wenn man sich mit einer neuen Technologie beschäftigt, und man muss Nichtwissen, meistens teuer bezahlen. Der 2200.-€ teure Delta Max ist, mit nur 800 Ladezyklen (2,19 Jahre / Lithium Iron Zellen) nach meinem Kenntnisstand der Ladezyklen schlechteste tragbare Stromspeicher mit hoher Kapazität auf dem Markt. Selbst der kleinere EB 70 mit 718 Wh hat super moderne LIFe PO4 Akkus mit 2500 Ladezyklen verbaut. Auch der Bluetti EB 240 mit gigantischen 2400 Wh glänzt mit 2400 Ladezyklen.
