Love your videos when I can follow them. Not all of us are at your level of expertise and as masterful in this field as you. I am a beginner and sometimes you speak like you are talking to everyone at your level and live us novice people alone. I would ask you to please not assume that we know what you are talking about because I don't but I still return to your videos after I have learned it some where else . Regardless you do a fantastic job and I aspire to learn more of the comprehensive material you always put out. Thank you for your time.
I'd like to see the delta 2 expansion cable be used for a custom expansion battery. Based on pin count they have all the balance leads in that battery expansion cable. That would be a fun video to see you modify one of those or make your own adapter
Inside the Delta 2 - 16s battery, respectively there should be 17 balancing contacts(wires). So no, those extra contacts in the cable are for communication, not balancing contacts.
You surprise me all the time with your awesome battery builds, I have not got their yet , but when I'm able to get started I know I can depend on you for a good lesson in whats available ,I'm going to conto watch and learn have a great day
@@jehugarciaI have 2 ecoflow delta pros. What is the cheapest solar panels that I should buy? I have no clue about any of this solar stuff. I’m trying to buy more batteries and solar panels without buying overpriced items?
$2200 for 3kwh....or $200 per kwh for new/very lightly used LiFeP04 cells. I look at your scooter batteries as "night time solar panels" and if you aren't drawing a load or just a small one these battery expansions are ideal for anyone that needs to recharge their unit overnight and then open their MPPT back up to solar in the morning. Even an 800W charge from these batteries has your Delta all juiced up in less than a short night.
Getting a few used 12V car batterys from a scrapyard and connect them in series would give the same results and would be cheaper. Use a inverter charge controller and your done for than €200,- probably. At least in my region.
It is if you already have a $2200 Ecoflow. I am lucky to have a $3000 Goal Zero and it has a 50v input so a 42 volt scooter battery would work just fine if my big boy goal zero ever runs out. I use a 300 watt solar array and it gives me about 50 percent boost per day so I really don't need more batteries. The solar panels cost me $300 and I get around 1.5kwh per day so it costs about the same as Jehu's battery. Its really nice to expand a battery because running out of power is lame.
I know the ecoflow can be directly hooked up to solar and it will manage itself. I guess what I’m trying to ask is if you were to build an off grid system with the ecoflow could you add those extra batteries and forget about them? Have like a huge 25k or bigger reserve so you can only run solar and those batteries hooked to your house and have it self manage without unplugging and plugging stuff in everyday?
Thanks for good video, but look like you just talk about using the external batteries to charge the Ecoflow DP but not using Ecoflow DP to charge the batteries at the same time you have solar energy to charge Ecoflow DP. That defeat the purpose of having solar array by using grid power to charge those batts.
jehu a big thanks from me.. but i got a question ... did you ever balanced any of your ecoflows??????? or there was no need .i figured out they dont use great amps cells so the balance needed might be much less than the big prismatic systems!!!!
For a full 240 setup, you still need the dual Pro setup, correct? Adding this rack mount setup is only adding capacity (behind) the single Delta Pro configuration, but could also be added to a dual setup as well, correct?
Yes, I have two delta pros and instead of buy the ecoflow extra batteries Ia m looking at two 48v batteries in series but just trying to find the right one. Also trying to figure out if I could hook both pros to two 48V batteries and how that would work.
I need one of those for the delta 2 xt port. It's not the regular size and has those 6 control pins in the middle for a 4battery 12v RV battery AGM BANK?
Wow amazing do you seel this stuff on Amazon worldwide? I am from the uk 🇬🇧 and would love all that for my MotorHome. Brilliant video thanks for sharing Ray K UK YNWA
Jehu. I have a mobility scooter needing a battery replacement. It runs on two 12 volt SLA batteries that are plugged into a controller. I want to replace both of these batteries with something else. Any suggestions?
Where can I find these batteries I have been looking and waiting for the extra battery to go on sale. Black Friday is coming quickly, but this seems way more efficient. Please let me know the info to your website I will buy them immediately.
Don't do this, those used batterys have a custom designed BMS NOT INTENDED FOR SERIES CONNECTION!!!!, the internal FETS are not intended to sustain that voltage when they open. Any failure on the solar charger (that is designed for solar pannel, and not constant voltage supply!!!) will lead almost sure to a fire, as the BMS will try to open, and the FET will fail in short, next any trace or if there is a fuse will catch fire as it has to break >100V DC.....
Do you have a shop? Want to add the ecoflow to run my kitchen sub panel in case of a outage. NO ONE WILLING TO INSTALL. Any advice is highly appreciated.
Question I have an old UPS, And I want to expand it using It using 12 V 100 amp batteries I have a 100 of them. How do I get this low powered device to accept that amount of power without damaging it. The UPS has a beautiful display is the reason why I bought it in the 1st place but I wanted to have longer run times so I want to run it for ridiculously long periods of time. But I believe that the wires can't handle the power I wish to run through it so how do I break down the power to run this device safely and still have those ridiculous long running time.
could legit strap the batteries to the top of the ecoflow delta pro, then just have a charger you can charge it with, like a 220v 1000w charger or something, then you would need a way to swap it over so its used as a battery when its fully charged, Not sure how you could automate this unless you have a adapter for the external battery used for the ecoflow extra battery and just use that adapter for these batteries, but now sure if thats possible
I'd love to see a similar video for Goal Zero Li 3000 and 1500 unit expansion. The max expansion units from GZ is 4, but what can be done beyond that....
Could you reviewers simplify building a watch and tell us what time it is. As in will this (battery) power a window air conditioner for 24/7 with solar assist. And if so break that down. What kind of panels etc.
no there are too many variables, Not all Air conditioners use the same amount of power, even the same unit varies power consumption from day to day depending on ambient conditions, same thing with Solar panels
We are currently running low on them and not likely getting more, get one of these is basically same thing jag35.com/products/r12-36v-15-3a-500w-ebike-battery
You are litterally holding one in your hand or are typing into one right now, the average person in 2024 has around 10 of these batteries they use daily how many of yours have caught fire?
@@jehugarcia so you’re saying I’m holding a used and abused e scooter battery in my phone? Sorry guy, but e scooter/e bike batteries have a bad reputation for a reason. They cause fires all the time. Cell phones do not.
Are there any battery’s that are less than 30v like for a Anker 757 since it takes 30v 10A for the xt60 input. Finding panels for full 300w on this thing is imposible but 200w is a go.

I have a delta pro and xtra battery I would like to know how to add the batteries in your videos to my existing delta pro/xtra battery to increase power not necessarily to charge I have a 400 watt solar panel that charges great
@@jehugarcia I got a solar system and was told mixing and matching different batteries packs from different manufacturers was not on due to the BMS (CAN bus) as the first pack becomes the master.
@@tibbydudeza each of the batteries has their own BMS. The EcoFlow only sees them as a source of DC power, it doesn't do any battery management with them.
How much draw comes from the fan? Is it a case that above 800 watts you land up using 200 watts on those fans? Not a major issue on solar but significant on batteries
Can a 48 volt server rack battery be used to charge the Ecoflow and if so can it be fused to limit the amperage to not trip the Ecoflow amp limit? This would be a great video. Having a full rack with two Ecoflow!
@@jehugarcia The people at Jakiper people told me the same thing....is there no 48V batteries that has a BMS that will handle two of them being connected in series?
So you tell me I could buy two units in 20 batteries 10 batteries for each unit welcome all up to the same two units are the exact same time have something like 86 kilowatts of power or are you lying you only get two batteries for each Delta pros and you can't get more than two barriers for each mean you only have four batteries and two Delta pro generators. You said more power I want more power than 28 kilowatts I can work three times and berries that grow up at one time something like six batters for each Delta pros generators so I can have 12 batteries hooked up to both of them put together so I never have to worry about power hope we could take as much much solar to charge him up everyday even though we get a couple weeks of clouds don't get any power at all.
You can't draw all 28kWh simultaneously, so yes, you can parallel as many battery modules as you want, but you can't exceed the amp or volt limit of the delta (obviously). 🤔

Use an XT60i plug with the data pin shorted to ground. It will allow the DP to pull 15a
This person is correct thats how the newer units know what you are plugging in to the xt60 input.
but running 15 amps with one scooter battery will ruin the scooter battery. Jehu makes it idiot proof.
No that pack can do 20A all day

Are these reclaimed batteries lithium? One of the pros if the ecoflow is that it uses lifepo. I wouldn't like to have lithium batteries at home.

Hi, the Delta 2 manual says to stay within 60v for solar input. What will happen realistically if I series two 36V ebike to charge it?
