You can charge the battery expansions right from the alternator charger, so charge the Ecoflow generator, then charge the expansion battery

Thanks for the vid. It should be mentioned that this Alternator Charger only works with the Delta series of Ecoflow batteries. The River series do not have the expansion port to accept input from the Alternator Charger.

@user-vz1ei2dx2e Ай бұрын

You don’t need to be at 14 Volts. Easy set up in the app where you can adjust it. Some cars with smart alternators routinely drop the alternator charging below 14V at idle, so I use 13V setting on mine. You could easily set it to 13 or 12 volts charge an Ecoflow Delta directly from an RV battery bank. Good video, but would have been much better with accurate info.

Double up on the idea, and get a high output alternator. Mechman or JS are two options but there are more. Yours is only 200 amps, but you could double it to 400 amps with one of those and get constant max power generation, with enough left over to still put more toys on the truck. Problem with Fords is that unlike Chevys, the alternator isn't right on top, at the front, so if you don't have decent mechanic skills you *might have to have a shop install it. On a Chevy you could do it with a ratchet and a wrench in 15 minutes.

@GearsAndTech Ай бұрын

Agreed, Chevy is usually my preferred vehicle. You probbaly picked up on that with my low key jabs at Ford breaking down

@WisconsinWanderer Ай бұрын

Thanks for your work in this video, i’m wondering if i upgrade my alternator will it charge faster?😊

@GearsAndTech Ай бұрын

If you get the 800w of output then there is no need I didn't do a current draw check on the alternator, but I have a feeling that box is boosting the 12v to 72v. If so, the current from the alternator is gonna be really low anyway. So an alt upgrade won't do anything

@WisconsinWanderer Ай бұрын

@@GearsAndTech good point

@Niravata Ай бұрын

I'm not so sure if the upstep from 12V input to 72V output has any influence on the load on the alternator... If you get 800W input on the EcoFlow Delta, you have to draw 800W (plus a bit of lost power for the upstep) from the alternator, otherwise you'd have invented the perpetuum mobile :) 800W from the alternator (divided by 14V) is a current of 57A ... The cable from the DC/DC to the EcoFlow Delta, assuming 72V, is 6 times lower, ie under 10A, which allows for a thinner wire...

@midwayj5291 18 күн бұрын

Interesting that none of the units in KZfaq videos appear to have these massive barrels right next to the connection points like the one I just received. 🤔 Whatever this new cable is, is very annoying. Possibly return worthy honestly.

It's actually meant to charge from the alternator, not the battery. That being said you can charge from the battery (engine off). I see little cases when you'd want to though.

why is it called an alternator charger if its connected to the battery?

It is charging off the alternator. The bug battery cable goes straight to the alternator. Electrically it's the same is attaching it to the alternator. It's just a lot easier to put it on the battery

Why would anyone want to waste over 1k on a bulky, noisy and smelly generator, that is only good for one single purpose and has limited continuous run time, when they can get a very compact multipurpose device for 1/4 of the cost? To summarize. BS is getting Honda generator instead of this device. Taken one owns compatible EcoFlow power station ofc.
