Interesting video again, thanks for sharing! Been an electronics tech for most of the last thirty years, and have several meters(including a cheap analog I'll pull out from time to time just to keep in shape😉). Last year picked up a cheap but capable unit - suits my needs anyway. Let someone who has none have the meter. I'll wait for something I don't have and can use.
Cheers, hope the comment helps you. 👍
Another great review video, Thanks Jeff. Be nice to have the Multimeter.
Very thorough evaluation of this power unit. I wish I had one of these 25 years ago when I was doing a lot of camping and working in remote forest locations. I would use that new MM every day, mine are both broken with taped up cases!
Regarding the SolarGenerator reviews, Make Hay While the Sun is Shining. (pun, not intended).
Great review on nice unit. Put my name in the hat for the multi meter. Thanks!
Great video Jeff, I wouldn't mind that meter too!😏
Great review! Sure would like to have the multimeter!
Great review! I would like the multimeter
I liked seeing the heavier gauge wire used inside compared to the last power pack review looks like a decent unit overall. The only thing I found odd is the handle being located on the back not the top. Definitely could use the multi meter
Great review! Please put me in for the multimeter. Thanks!
I was impressed by the solid sine wave until it ran out of power. This unit looks like something I might buy when the price drops. Please enter me in the drawing for the meter..
i believe you had xboost on for the load to be dropping like that!
Thanks for the review. Please enter me into the multimeter drawing
wow you tested lot of those battery pack .i like to have the multimeter and send it to my brother in the usa
i would say the the main thing is the LFP battery
Good to know. I'm more attracted to the LiFePo4 because of the safety. Does it have low temp shutoff? Those batteries can't charge at low temperatures.
I'm also interested in the multimeter. I still need one.
That's a good question, and I forgot to look for a temperature sensor.
if you have the xboost off you will get a full 800 watts out of the inverter at 120v. xboost is only supposed to be used for resistive loads like heating devices or brush-type universal ac motors.
Well that's odd. The owner's manual gave the impression that XBoost turned on was the maximum amount of power output.
@jeffescortlx No, Xboost brings down the voltage and increases amperage to make some things with higher power requirements to work. It comes from the factory on by default. I never use it on any of mine. It would damage my sensitive stuff.
Heyy, jeff quick question i just bought one of these, but would love to connect both solar and 12v car charger at the same time but having only 1 plug got me thinking could i use a Y split and connect both up? The ecoflow says it maxes out at 50v 220w my solar panel is only 20v and the car charger is no more than 14v when running so well below the 50v max.
Well you would definitely want to use a diode so you don't end up sending your 20 volts from the panel into the automotive side. But anytime the panels are able to provide more than 14 volts the power is just going to come from the panels.
Bad experience with River 2 Pro. Had to return as, as soon as I turn on the AC, the runtime cuts to 50%. Im essentially getting half the capacity. And no amount of calibration solved the issue.
Great review! Would like to win multimeter too.
Would love the multimeter
Congrats!
Awesome! Just sent you an email. Sorry for the delayed response. It will come in real handy.
@@jcondon1 It's on the way!
@@jeffescortlx thanks again!
Hey Jeff. I have a question. Have your ever fixed the short to ground fuel gauge issue on the 08+ f350 lariat style clusters? Would love to get your input or if you could help me figure out a solution. As new parts are hard to come by where I live
@jeffescortlx
Sounds like a problem with the sending unit?
You would think so but I have numerous truck with same issue
A new cluster fixes it everytime. I have not had good luck tracing it down. Assumed bad stepper motor or solder point on motor..no luck so far. Assuming some sort of short on board.
I can 100% say it is a board issue. Was hoping maybe something you could help with. Appreciate the reply regardless
@@joshuad2424 a stepper motor would be easy to rule out. The Ford clusters have a built-in stepper motor self test. When it's acting up run the test, it's either going to show you that the stepper motor is good or it's bad.
Ford clusters calculate the fuel level at the cluster unlike Chevy. I have seen a resistor voltage divider have fractured solder joints that can upset the fuel level calculations. But I've never seen it give a hard short to ground.
Yes if it's ever something you look into. The upper level cluster with the small guages on the top. Would sure be useful. I see about 5 a week
Nothing can ever start that air compressor. Jeff do you take the air compressor when you go camping to inflate your air mattress 😂
oh I don't camp. But these type of generators could be used on remote constructions job sites for supplying power for lighting/tools before power is installed.
@@jeffescortlx I actually saw them yesterday in Christchurch in an outdoor shop when I was getting some new hiking boots.
Too bad about not reviewing the solar generators anymore. I find the solar generators interesting. Your knowledge on electronics is unmatched amongst the other reviewers I've found.
Thank you for appreciating the solar generator videos. Unfortunately they don't do very well with the views.
Very interesting and useful review. Please sign me up for the multimeter drawing. Thanks. 🏆
I'm interested in winning the multimeter 💯
is it safe to leave plugged in all the time like a ups?
Yes it is safe to do so. But keep in mind with some of these solar generators, If they are used like a UPS they will go ahead and continue to run the device until the battery is depleted and the unit powers down, But when power is restored some of them don't automatically turn 120 volt AC outlet back on as default. So if it's used on a freezer a refrigerator it will have to manually be turned back on after power is restored if the power is depleted in the solar generator. But I believe with some of the better units they have an option to power on the AC outlet when the unit is powered back up.
4-3-2023 -- I just received my River 2 Pro today, I have the MAX already, but it would not power my full size Frigerator, so I bought the Pro model hoping it would power the Refrig. I get the same "OVERLOAD" error and neither will run the refrig. Confused. I have a MILIN 622w Power station, and for some weird reason the MILIN does power my refrig!! Totally confused now. I was getting some internal 'whistling' sound inside the Pro when I used the 12v dc 5521 outputs, but hoping that settles down in time. Anyone else have problems with powering a full size Refrigerator with any of the Ecoflow River 2 power stations?? I'm confused. Thought it would be a 'surge' problem, hoped the Pro would solve that, but why the MILIN 622w Power Station does run refrig with no problem. Any ideas out there ?? Great video, best yet on the River 2 PRO . Great job!!
Most full size refrigerators only dry about 120 watts. But when you plug it into the power station Make sure to allow some time for the pressure to release and uneven out on the high side of the pressurized system. If you unplug it while the pump is running and then quickly plug it into the power station the pump has to start pumping against high pressure and that increases the startup current dramatically.
@@jeffescortlx I'm watching this vid : th-cam.com/video/KIquWJ-H4LE/w-d-xo.html and he seems to have the same problem, will try again later today like he did. interesting :+\
@@danyan55 I also think he just needed to allow some time. And that's why it worked. It's no different than an air compressor, if you unplug it well it's mostly full, and then when you plug it back in the motor has to start with fighting all that pressure that it's built up. It's much easier for the pump to start if it's not fighting pressure.
@@jeffescortlx I did a kill-a-watt test on my refrigerator and it max surged at 1216 watts : ##### My Refrigerator SURGE test using Kill-a-watt meter = 4-5-2023 = th-cam.com/video/2XzPhPSjlng/w-d-xo.html
I'd like to be entered in the drawing as well.
Multimeter comment applied! Fingers crossed.
Anyone having trouble with the Bluetooth connection? My phone cannot find the power pack.
Have you tried a full power reset? You might have to let it die all the way to get a full reboot.
@@jeffescortlx yeah I was on the phone with tech support for about 45 minutes trying to sort it out. Both the WiFi and the Bluetooth icons have never lit up. I have a river 2 pro.
Is it extensible?
No battery jack on this model.
Bad portable battery power,i have one that stop charging after one month.Jackery is the best
Have you tried a complete power down and restart?
Jeff thanks for your great info as usual sir! I would like to be entered for you Multimeter giveaway please. Just let me know if I win please. Thanks Jeff! James McDaniel
Ecoflow focus way to much on Gimmicks and lacks basics
Such as KWH Capacity
Me: laughs in Delta pro 2 😁
No it's o.k, I'm not a American, i feel cheated .... ha ha trying to build up a level of guilt lol :-D
It's working. When I get a promotional giveaway product that's being drop shipped from the manufacturer that allows international shipping you'll just have to make sure to show up!
@@jeffescortlx ha ha i was only joking, i have loads of Multimeters even a fluke that someone gave me because it didn't work..... it was just a filthy mode switch lol.
You have to sell your first born baby to buy a fluke :-D
@@zx8401ztv you never know, my next giveaway might be a soldering station or a power supply! A person can never have too many of those!
I'm a simple lady, I see jeffescortlx video,. I watch it
