It’s much more than just the cost of batteries. You need to factor in the battery management systems onboard along with all the components to piece it together. Also, let’s not forget profit. Companies are in business to make profit, not save the world. Markup is necessary and it’s how companies have enough money to stay afloat, pay employees, and still have enough left over for R&D for further improvement of the product - improvements mentioned: higher capacity, reduced noise, better cable management, external ICE generator for constant power. All this before the government (aside from inflation). We are still early adopters with this technology so if you’re waiting for a significant price drop it won’t come until this technology is commodity - which always requires many early adopters willing to spend.

@rik8809 2 ай бұрын

Power outages aren’t frequent in my area. When they do occur, they don’t last that long, so I couldn’t justify the cost. My ideal system for an outage would be to run a generator during the day, and then use a power station at night. The big advantage to power stations is that they can be kept indoors. No worries about carbon monoxide, nor do have to worry about them being stolen. Solar panels would be a nice addition, but clouds and trees can restrict the power output. It all comes down to your location.

If so then I would be on the market for this tech. I would definitely have to plan my power usage using an interlock and a delta pro 3.

@guspaz 27 күн бұрын

That price would be way below cost. Not to say that there isn’t a hefty profit margin on these types of things (after all, how could Anker have had their recent 40% off prime day sales if they didn’t have at least that much margin) but the batteries in the delta 3 pro alone are worth around that much, not to mention the cost of the split-phase inverters or charge controllers. If the counter-argument is “then have less battery capacity to hit the lower price point” then… they do make those products too.

It seems all these EcoFlow videos come out on the same day. KZfaqrs touting how fantastic these are. Of course they are fantastic when you are given $5000+ worth of equipment. The real problem I have with these is the short life span. Just look how EcoFlow has changed in the past few years. The chumps that bought previous models are probably really kicking themselves. 12 months later and there's a new model with more power. Meanwhile, if I purchase a 8000W generator today, that generator will still be cranking out 8000W 20 years from now if maintained properly. The technology in these battery inverters is still too new to be investing $5000-$8000 in a backup system.

I live in Phoenix, lots of sun.

Your solar panels create energy that does get put back into the grid and is tracked by its own meter so the power company sees how much energy your panels produced, then credit you which basically off sets your electric bill. Keep in mind, if the panels start to fail and don’t produce the same energy you use from the grid you will receive a bill from the power company.

The battery backup would be the only way I could generate heat in the house with an outdoor wood boiler during the winter if out of propane. It will also run my well pump for fresh water. Because it is portable, I can also take it RV'ing to provide power that way also.

For my money the Generac is a better buy if you might be gone for more than a few hours. My house is not situated to benefit from solar and if the power goes out for a day or two, which is has several times, I have no way to charge the EcoFlow if I’m away on vacation or out of town for work. The EcoFlow is nice and quiet but has a limited run time without somebody home to tend to it. If I have to use a stand-by generator why not get a natural gas generator, if you have natural gas, and not worry about a power outage during a winter storm while away from home?

Just paid 2k euros for the delta pro. I can understand the benefits for US market on that 230V, but here in EU, I don't think there will be that much reason to pay double of what I've paid for 400W extra battery, 400W more of inverter power, and be more silent. About the noise of the original delta pro I already have a plan to replace the fans to noctua redux fans. Only thing for us in Europe that I honestly really liked on the new DP3 are the new extra batteries. Their size is half the size of the original delta pro extra batteries, and they stack on top of the new DP3. What I REALLY would like to see in an upgraded version of the DP are 2 built-in XT150 connectors to power their Wave 2, and also to enable charging using their alternator charger without the need of using an adapter.

@@EverydayHomeRepairs I prefer Duromax portables because of their quality, so for 9kW running watts I would say the DuroMax XP11000iH. However I always tell people to buy a tri fuel generator so the y can run it on natural gas if available. The DuroMax XP13000HXT is not an inverter generator, but will give you 8500 watts continuous on natural gas. I admit I don't know a lot about Westinghouse, but I have not heard any negatives. Westinghouse has remote start if that is attractive, and they have their ST Switch accessory for automatic starts. For a 9kW inverter model you would want Westinghouse iGen11000DFc. Westinghouse also has several non-inverter tri-fuel models. The Champion Model #201176 is the only tri-fuel inverter generator close to the size you want. It is 9kW surge, 7.2 kW continuous on gasoline, 5.9kW natural gas. Champion also has some models with remote start, and has some with the advantage of quiet mufflers, always look at how many DB your generator makes in the specs. Honda of course makes fantastic stuff, but it's all gasoline only, and pretty small. They only make one model big enough to meet your needs. One final note, Generac portables have had two major recalls in the last two years, bot items presenting high danger to the owner., nuff said.

How much Solar do you need to recharge this?

@eosjoe565 Ай бұрын

Solar! hah! Ironically, we just had a huge storm blow through here and 103,000 are without power. Estimated restore time is 29 hrs from now. The Sun is just setting. How do you think the solar recharge would work for me? Fortunately, I have the generator up and running which will easily handle the outage during. I'm pulling an average of 1500 watts from the generator. That means the Delt Pro 3 with extra battery would be dead in a little over 5 hrs. It's dark out now so no solar.

@@eosjoe565yea I got a delta pro and 2 extra batteries and to be honest it last a while it’s 10.2 kw but I have a duromax 13000 watt and an old Honda eu2000i…. Most of the time I’ll bust out the Honda if I’m just eating up all my power… it’s not bad but not great either and it’s cool they can take 1000watt extra but the 12kw max one the dp3 and 2 batteries is a major set back and the price is ridiculous…. I got my whole set for $4000 and the dp3 alone is about $3400 thats insane

@Alex-ce8ln Ай бұрын

Very good video. Can you connect the delta pro to the delta pro 3?

@EverydayHomeRepairs Ай бұрын

No not really. You could bring 2 x DP units into a Smart Home Panel 2 (SHP2) with a dual voltage hub and also plug a DP3 into the SHP2 with both of them providing power.

I purchased the Bluetti AC300 with (2) 3072 WH batteries. I followed your video on installing a transfer station and wiring and it has already paid dividends. Anytime we lose power I wheel the cart out of the closet, plug the pre-charged generator to the transfer station and flip the breakers. We run Wi-Fi, TV's, refrigerators, freezers, lights, coffee pots etc. I'm at the point of do I buy another duplicate AC300 with (2) 3072 batteries and generate 240V or should I be happy with 120V only?

If I remember my sound training correctly, for every 7 decibels increase, it is twice as loud to your ear. So, 40 to 47 is twice as loud and 47 to 54 is twice as loud again. Hope that helps for the sound nerds.

Actually, twice as loud is a 3db increase

I get really disappointed when I see folks talk about these things but I have yet to see any of them talk about the regular maintenance that is required for these units. I bought one and was extremely disappointed when I read that to maintain the warranty for these things you have to drain them to 30% and then take them back up to 80% at regular intervals for long term storage. So this means when you need it you will only have 80% of its capacity at best.

This guy knows nothing of what he talks about. That thing cannot replace a generator. Batteries run down , what are you going to do? Plug it in? The powers out probably because of a storm so you can use solar panels either, which cant charge the system as fast as you use it. Dont waste your money.
