ECOFLOW DELTA PRO 3600w Solar Generator Battery Power Station Beginner Friendly Review

GET THE DELTA PRO HERE --> gohobo.io/Vi5u use code ECOFLOWAFF NOTE: Box Store / HSN versions are different. Get the ONLINE version! PART TWO Technical Review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIakaqx4ndiHiq8 CHEAPER Solar Panels for DELTA PRO: hobotech.tv/amazon/#Solar-Kits -- ASUS ROG Laptop: hobotech.tv/amazon/#Computer-Tech LAPTOP CHARGING: Several have complained that my laptop numbers looked wrong. The PRO was charging the laptop battery at the same time so it was using a lot more power than normal. This model can charge from 100w USB VERY efficiently and the internal battery let's it run for basic web use up to 10 hours. My "demo" was just to show how much power a high end laptop can use.

[@tomtee4442]

At $4200.00 and 100 pounds for this battery bank is very nice. I have to say I can buy 2,100 gallons of propane for $1.99 a gallon for propane July 2021. I trade for standard propane size New standard size propane BBQ tanks. Propane in my area was $1.49 a gallon for a few years just went up a few months ago to $1.99 Propane runs my propane generator, makes heat, runs oven, grass burner, heats hot water, runs vehicle and small engines. 2,100 gallons enough to power me off grid for years. And I sell propane tanks on the side empty and full tanks Cheaper Than Any One Else tank included. All fuels will keep going up and I can sell propane if I decide to in another lock down or worse but probably won't. A $4200.00 used battery bank I can't sell in a year or more. Sadly electronics are getting better and cheaper each day when something newer comes out or slong. I already have around 120+ gallons of propane now to run my hand portable generator and things now for many years. Propane never goes bad and no treating the fuel propane will last forever as long as you don't store your tank outside in the rust belt states. Already had some propane I come across propane tank was about 30 years old still worked. I'm prepped and waiting for Satsquach and the NWO!!!

So is this an option instead of roof solar system? If so, how many panels, batteries etc would you need for a typical home? I am a total beginner and have no clue how to go about switching my home to solar

Hey HOBOTECH, what time does the full review of the Bluetti AC200MAX release?

[@HOBOTECH]

@@tomtee4442 Delta Pro is $2699 don't know where you get $4200 from but enjoy your propane.

@@ambissing This is NOT a whole home solar replacement. Watch my Bluetti EP500 review. A pair of EP500 Pro can handle 4800w of solar which is enough to power a small home.

I like the format for those of us who lack technical knowledge. That doesn't mean I won't watch the more advanced video to try and educate myself...or at the very least watch for the one liner jokes. 🤣🤣🤣

[@craighoward6243]

I own a echoflow River pro with the extra battery. 720 watt hrs each unit 1420watt hrs. Full add the hundred watt Solar panel. My TV takes up 32 watts. From the solar panel. The battery is full. This gives me roughly another 45 watt hrs add a lamp at night. Sun gone down. Use the full battery, your panel keep them clean..they draw power soon as the sun rises. And starts charging the battery to replace. What was used overnight. It's not much. TV and a lamp 60 watt hrs. Do the simple math, & I always skipped Math did like the language. But know I understand

[@TimberTrainer]

Finally a generator that can brew coffee for 5 hours straight! Seriously though, I got a Delta 1300 on Kickstarter and it has been great for power outages and camping. It is cool to have so much power without the noise, fumes, and carburetor issues. The best feature on this pro model is the 3,000w EV plug.

[@coachgeflores]

Does your job the pro hold charge well? I had to return mine because charge would drop down within two weeks if it’s turned off sitting in storage

[@bonnetbrown9472]

The EV plug is cool. I’m trying to use the Anderson port to hook up a fuse box for my van conversion....but, having trouble finding the correct plug for this port with small ring terminals...I found the CUZEC CIGARETTE charger ring terminal and that works but can’t find a sismilar plug for the ANDERSON (output) PORT☹️

[@SProz69]

Good video, would of been nice to see how the solar panels impact the time duration when running an AC unit while charging with the solar panels

[@tblbaby]

Love this format, love the other one. LOVE that you're going to both. That Ecoflow is cool enough making a special cart for it is more than justified. Big wheels, and a built in ramp to facilitate loading into a vehicle like a pickup or van. Even an aircraft. I'll elaborate on the ramp. Aluminum telescoping with rollers so it goes easy. Maybe even one way catches you can employ or retract. It's doable.

[@ronque23]

Great video! I’ve had the Delta 1300 for about 9 mos and it works pretty good! Super fast charging from a wall or a gas generator. One thing to be aware of if you’re in an RV in the like me is that it won’t charge if it gets too cold. So you’ll have to make sure your rig is warmed up if you need to charge it up again.

⚡️Been using my Delta Pro regularly since the beginning of the year - awesome product. A little heavy, but the wheels and retractable handle makes it a bit easier to move around and it runs power hungry products for hours longer than my other batteries, plus recharging from a J1772 makes filling it up on the go a great option when traveling. .. and yes, the production model is built better than the one reviewed here.

[@greatguy4076]

Watch out for the app's huge oversight - it won't work if you don't have internet, and you are not logged in. This is the same for all EcoFlow products. Yes, you can use the basic functions of the Delta without the app, but there are several key features that you won't have. Since this is designed for Emergency use, why would they make the app rely on being connected to their servers? What if their servers are down?

[@williamkn621]

Typical... They want to gather data.

[@tsumorieki1794]

Not true. You can connect directly through wifi or Bluetooth without internet.

[@myfastcars]

I've wanted a Solar Inverter for years. I'm glad I've waited because the technology has significantly improved over the years. The Delta ECOFLOW-Pro is what I'm going to purchase. I'm mainly using it in case of a long term local power outages / failure in a residential home to run the basics. Keep the gas furnace running in the winter, Fridge cold and minimal lights etc. This video is two years old. Question? This unit will only be used to supply power in an emergency, "Local Power Outages" What solar panels would you purchase to suck up the West El Paso Sun? The solar panels will only be erected in the yard when needed to recharge the ECOFLOW during power outage events. Thank You for all of your testing.

Love the format. I'm really researching what system would work well for a small off-grid cabin in the So Cal high desert. You've checked all of the boxes with this video since the use for a van/camper would be similar to a small cabin. Have you ever dealt with charging one of these units with wind power at night or combined with solar?

[@damonried1720]

I prefer multiple short and sweet videos. This 20 min video was just long enough while still being plenty informative.

[@tomw5vlt119]

What this doesn’t say… if hooked up as intended with solar… how does it perform for that A/C in the van (was it 7hrs operation) if solar coming in at the same time? In other words, can solar come in at the same time as power being drawn/used, and how does that daily gross consumption turn into net power used when offset by power incoming by solar (thinking boondocking).

[@HOBOTECH]

You can input enough solar to run the a/c continuously as long as the sun shines.

[@timhardman4764]

@@HOBOTECH Yes, 1200 watts of solar panels should run a 500 watt AC no problem but the BIG question is if the PV panels are bringing in 900 watts and the AC is consuming 500 watts, will the surplus 400 watts be directed to battery charging if there are no other devices plugged in consuming power and the battery charge is less than 100%? Or can the units battery be charged by Solar while simultaneously powering other devices?

Looking forward to more videos!
