Chris here with my assistant Vera who's helping me out with this which is the ecoflow Delta Pro now
it's the world's fastest charging portable solar power station so it fully charges in just 1.9
hours it has a 3.6 kilowatt hour capacity Peak power output of 3600 Watts which is more than
the competition offers and you can expand upon it and increase the capacity right up to 25 kilowatt
hours it doesn't even support EV charging so if you happen to be at an EV station you could charge
this up and the maximum solar inputs I've got one panel right here that I'll be testing it out with
is up to a peak of 1 600 watts there's application support with it and I'll be going over in detail
and I'll let you know exactly what to expect here with the Delta Pro from Eco flow and I did want
to point out that this is a video sponsored by ecoflow because they've sent me out this
unit here which I do get to hang on to the Delta Pro does come really well packaged up it ships
out on a small little pallet strapped down to it and very good padding around it so absolutely no
damage now when you unbox it you will find this a little box and it includes the cables that we
do get right here so we have this a DC cable we've got our AC cable for charging it and then our car
charging cable what is missing and would have been nice to see is a solar cable but they are
very easy to source and then we have a user manual right here the ecoflow Delta Pro does have a good
build quality to it they are using Plastics on the outside of it you can see we've got some Wheels
here just as well because it does weigh 45 kilos it is very heavy so at least we can pull it along
with the handlebar that's built into the bottom so you simply just need to press here that releases
the handle and then you can pull that right out and you're able to pull along the Delta Pro
power station at least has these hand holds there so the handles on it they do give you
a little bit of padding around it do make it a bit easier to move it around and on the top here
we don't have any Qi wireless standard wireless chargers which I think is a bit of an oversight
here would have been good to have them even though yes they are normally quite slow they could have
put and installed a couple of 15 watt pads there which would have been handy if you didn't have any
cables in an emergency situation if your phone supported wireless charging or your tablet you
could at least charge it up on the top there are these two fans here now you don't normally
hear them unless it's under high load and that is when it's discharging the inverter is under
quite a bit of a load there and when you're charging it you will hear those fans come
on to keep it cool now these battery stations do have built-in safety so they've got battery
Management Systems plenty of sensors overload protection as well and thermal projection too
these fans are on both sides of them so it does have a total of four fans and later on in this
video I'll give you a sample of what the fan noise is like on the back of the Delta Pro you
will find a input here for your Anderson plug or the xt60 so that's for solar and also the
car charger we do have this little switch here for the AC charging which is the plug right here
now that is 15 amps Max but we have an option there to set it to fast charging or slow custom
charging and then we have a reset here too so if you did overload it the overload protection
you simply need to press that and then you're back up and running and down here we do have
the two ports for expanding the capacity so those are the extra battery ports one and two
which do allow us to take their capacity from the 3.6 kilowatt hours with one unit
up to then a maximum 25 kilowatt hours it is also the world's fastest charging battery
station with multi-charge you can charge it at a rate of 6500 watts which only takes 1.9 hours
then at the front here we have our screen now the screen it just gives us handy information we have
our input voltage currently 106 from the solar panel I've got connected up to it there is no
output at the moment because I've got nothing plugged into it our battery percentage so it
is 30 and charging and it does tell me the days remaining here for example the days to recharge
it fully so it tells me it's going to take a day because it's only at 120 watts at the moment and
then if you are currently using it at the current rate that it's just discharging it will also tell
you how many days you have left or under that if you've got something powerful connected up to it
then we have at the top here our DC side of things so we've got two 15 watt maximum USB
type A's then we have the two fast charging ones which are 18 watts and if you need even more power
we've got the type C ports two of those up to 100 Watts that do support power delivery power button
then our AC on and off button for EU AC plugs right here now the maximum output is 3600 Watts
it can then Peak at 4500 and if you do add a second unit you can then bring that right
up to 7200 Watts Peak output which is really good another first two is this that we do have an Eevee
station plug there so if you needed to charge it really quick imagine that okay you're in a
situation that you need the power you need to have it charged up you can stop by you could be
charging up your Tesla or your other EV car right and you want to use this you're at a station and
Evie station then you've got this option very good to have and it is the Infiniti AC plug
just above that EV Port then we have more options here on the left hand side so we've
got 12 volts 30 amps Max output that's going to be perfect for RV motorhome Caravan owners
we've got a cigarette lighter plug head it's 12 volts 10 amps Max and then just below it another
212 volts out but there are only three amps Max and we've got an on and off switch for that so
this section here that is for the application and for connecting it up to the home so you've
got your iot reset pairing standby on or off and then a lamp port for the remote
now if you are wondering about the peak solar input well it is 1600 Watts Peak and I've only
got a 450 watt panel that is underperforming at the moment due to the current conditions
unfortunately I just cannot seem to get lucky here there's always been this cloud cover around for
the last week in the last couple of weeks it's very hard to test out the solar panels with at
least good output from them but it's just to give you an idea the panel I'm using here is
not a super high quality one now it is rated to a maximum of 450 Watts on a good sunny day
midday and with these conditions well it is only outputting about 70 Watts that's it now if you
do have a set of panels on top of your RV your Caravan for example you've got them connected
up to the Delta Pro here then you'll be able to charge and it's a good option to have you can get
that free energy and of course energy crisis the higher cost of power it's great to generate your
own free Power which you can do with some solar panels and this power station so there's literally
a thousand uses for a portable battery station such as this now I'm charging up three e-bikes
right here I've got some power hungry gardening tools here power tools so that's one of the
uses of course you could use this for emergency situations to Power Home Appliances like a fridge
anything up to 3 600 watts a freezer you could use it for work tools maybe a Tradesman you're sick
of the noisy diesel generator for small jobs then you could take along something like this now at my
current load right here which is just under 200 Watts because I'm charging the e-bikes and when
I use the power tool it's going to Peak now well over a thousand the fans are on even with just 180
Watts I can hear them working hard keeping those internals cool and now to see how it's going to
handle something a little bit more powerful which is a garden power tool here this line trimmer
now with that light use it's telling me that I've got six hours left and it does give me quite a bit
of information here the screen so 50 hertz the AC output is running at and I've got the solar
panel connected with the solar logo there so it knows that it's charging so charging it about
70 and output currently just under 200 Watts but what I'll do now is load it up with some really
high wattage appliances and we'll see how the Delta Pro is going to handle it by loading it up
loading up that inverter here and it's currently charging now at almost 2400 watts output nothing
but I'm going to turn on the AC I have a kettle connected up which is probably around about 2 000
Watts okay it's pulling about 1700 there and then a hair dryer so I'm going to turn the hairdryer on
and we can see it's pulling now 3 000 just over three thousand and unfortunately it
did not like that it has cut out it's turned off the AC so built-in safety
there of course and that is good we don't want to overload it we don't want to cause
any overheating or any problems with it but I'll do that again that test
because I was expecting it to last just a little bit longer there so turn on AC
and the hair dryer I turn the hair dryer down a little so that is it's looking all right now
so that's 2600 Watts and what I'll do now is turn off the charging to see how the UPS works
so the UPS has now kicked in and it's looking good it just took over straight away no problems
I'll see if I can even use more power there we go that's better so four thousand three
hundred watts and it's still going it has not tripped so I put it under too much load before
with the fast AC charging so you don't want to be charging it at the fastest setting and also
loading it right up but this is really good look at this thing it's performing all right
this is well over the 3600 so it is peaking now at almost 4 400 watts and there we go hat has finally
clicked off their overloaded again but that was excellent performance that let me go for quite
a few seconds it's definitely better than the competition that I've just recently tested out
and I have turned it back on and it's happily pulling 3 400 watts right now and I've tested this
it won't cut out it's when I just exceed the rated 3600 Watts it will eventually cut out because it
can only Peak for so long but really good here to see the kind of output really high wattage
so you can also charge it with the car cigarette lighter the accessory socket
that you'll find in most cars and a maximum output of this is 180 Watts
with my particular car but I know other brands they do offer even higher wattage
than that output so 15 amps cap here and 12 volts my particular system with the car
so this charging rate is just over 100 watts and according to the display it will take about a
day to fully charge the battery which is a very long time and I already have almost 30 battery
but in the case of an emergency at least it is an option that we do have for charging the Delta Pro
this is the application which is called ecoflow so you do need to register for it you need to
sign in pair it up to your Wi-Fi network and then you'll see Delta Pro that is now there and when
you go into it you get all the information so you can see the temperature of it the percentage So
currently at almost 30 percent there I'm charging it at almost 2 500 watts and just tapping here I
can see other inputs so at the moment I don't have solar connected now if you can hear a bit of a fan
noise going on that of the fan those those are the fans they're at 100 at the moment quite loud as
it charges Infinity Port of course I don't have that connected not when I'm indoors right here
so you'll see when you go to the output you've got all the output information too it's listed
right there you can turn on the AC the DC you do hear a bit of a tick and a beep as that clicks on
and under this here you'll find other settings so a lot of different information in there you
can also limit the charging speed perhaps you you don't want it to charge so quickly you don't need
it to you don't want it to put Demand on for example your your household your grid then you
can just go and set the slow or custom switch on the back of it which is what it will do now so I
have done that now it's charging at 400 watts and at that has of course to reduce the fan noise it's
only when it's under that full load charging at the maximum other fans at their high RPM they've
dropped right down now now you can set a custom charge rate here the lowest is 200 watts and
then right up to that 2900 for the AC plug but it can actually charge at 6500 when you do have all
three sources at once can't input the beep screen brightness smart generator order on and off you've
got Auto timeout options this can also be used as a UPS firmware updates lab features so if the
power went off it was to be power back on again this is the grid you can set the AC to always be
on though so that's good if you're running say medical equipment you need to always be on or
perhaps maybe even a server or something you're using this as a UPS you want to enable that so
it's always going to keep those AC ports on those sockets on so it can output the power there uh
specifications of it I'll just quickly jump into that so you can see everything there the capacity
the weights of it dimensions and then all of the Power output ratings there so it's all listed
all of that info is in the application so it is a straightforward application very useful and
it does give us a lot of information and since I have been stressing it out both charging and also
discharging how loud is it so it's got those four fans at the top of it that do cool it down right
now I've got it under a lot of stress so I'll give you a sample of it it is quite loud the way
to describe it that if you're sitting next to it yes you are definitely going to hear it especially
under high loads now when it's not under a lot of load the fans aren't that loud but they do tend
to kick in around about 150 watts load but here it is at maximum load the noisiest it will get
now the uses of a solar battery Bank like this are just endless really because you could be a
Tradesman you have your power tools that you want to operate and run but of course you don't want
to use a noisy generator maybe you've got no on-site power and you don't need any more than
the 3.6 kilowatt hours that this does have it's going to be perfect for that and then of course RV
motorhome Caravan owners if you do have your own solar panels that you've got set up on the roof of
say your Caravan then this is going to be ideal and it will take the 1600 Watts maximum solar
input with it and of course it does charge really quick it has the fastest charging rate so 6500
watts when you've got three sources to charge it all at the same time will only take yeah just that
1.9 hours which is incredibly quick for something like this and then you do have the smart home set
up so they've got their smart home generator so you can have this as a backup even for your
house probably with other units too as well to increase the capacity so this just the base
one here the single unit is 3.6 kilowatt hours but you can add more to then bring it up to the
25 kilowatt hours which is really good we have the application support and I do like the fact that it
has here on the left hand side the EV changing Port great for say again emergency situations
that you need to charge it as quick as possible and you find a free working EV station that is
you could charge it up quite quickly which is good there and I do like the screen it's great to give
you that hand gives you that handy information of knowing just how long the current load is going
to last you for so when I was loading it up before or charging e-bikes and using power tools out here
and to tell me I had about approximately six hours of use that's really good and then when I was
charging with my solar panel here unfortunately in these very cloudy conditions at the moment it
did tell me it was going to take about a day to fully charge here the 3.6 kilowatt hour capacity
that it does have so let's say portable unit here too which is one thing I do like about it because
competitors are out there they often now they're doing modular setups so you will have the power
station and then the battery pack below it that you have to move around separately you've got the
cable but this is an all-in-one unit so that's why it is Handy to be able to just pull this around of
course you've got the wheels built into it which is another great thing there and the handle here
so that's good however yes it is heavy good thing it's got these nice handles on it and grooves but
it's a really heavy 45 kilos so you don't want to be lugging it around too much at least we can
pull it along which is great so a battery Bank like this is of course perfect for home backup
there's an energy crisis going on at the moment there's power Cuts so something like this can
run your appliances for a limited amount of time a course in between those power Cuts so imagine
you need to keep your freezer up and running you don't want your food to go off or your fridge then
you can connect this up and run it for a few hours which is really handy to have something
like this around and then of course you can if you have solar panels safe and store the free
energy that you're generating from those solar panels again it's cut down on your powerballs and
perhaps you can even be off grid in your Caravan your RV your motorhome which I think this is
absolutely perfect for so thank you so much for watching my video here of the Eco flow Delta Pro
