EcoFlow DELTA Max 2000 Bundles

Love this power bank. Unfortunately it was a little bit too small for my needs and it was hard to move around as it was quite heavy with no wheels.

Once everything was sorted it is an amazing piece of mind for our small freezers.
The shipping company was not honest hiding packaging damage, would have rejected the delivery had the person that kicked a hole through the package not have concealed it.

What a great product, everything was as advertised. so easy to set up and use. I really enjoy knowing that I am ready in case of a power outage, especially this day and age. highly recommended.

I’ve had the unit for 2 days. Delivery was smooth. Box in good shape. Remove and read instructions but the print was quite small. The unit is not bulky but it does weigh a bit, still I can carry it around no problem. Plugged it in to the wall socket and it was fully charged in one hour. It looks like I can just plug in the refrigerator no problem .. that’s the main reason I bought it, but my wife says it for the TV .. it’s all good.

It’s my first time using solar - I bought the bundled solar generator/battery and solar panel.

I read an EcoFlow blog post about taking their units to Burning Man, so that’s why I chose this brand.

My primary goal was to power my ICECO frig freezer, at Burning Man, so that early arriving camp mates and I would be able to have ice. (Can’t buy ice there until Thursday of build week).

In this bundle the solar panel is portable, but I installed it semi-permanently on the roof of my military trailer. I didn’t want have to worry about it blowing away during the crazy 50 to 60 mile winds out in the desert.

I built a roof rack underneath the panel and a second rack on top of the panel that only holds down the edges. I used the grommets that are already installed around the panel’s edges to help secure with 3/8” bolts and nuts. It’s basically sandwiched between two racks on the trailer roof.

Drove from Southern California to Nevada with the panel on top of my trailer, left it on my trailer roof for 14 days, and then drove back to SoCal with no problem.

Hurricane Hillary hit my route to Burning Man at the beginning of my trip on Sunday.

Due to the rain, my arrival was delayed, and no one was able to arrive on the playa until Wednesday.

Spent three days at a hotel and learned pretty quickly that the 220 watt panel alone was not going to be enough to power my ICECO fridge freezer continuously. It would run my fridge freezer for about 36 hours max off of battery alone, without incoming solar.

This is my bad for not testing it properly before leaving. I had an RTIC cooler and dry ice as backup/Plan B anyway so not that big of a deal but a bummer tough.

I also bought the solar cable extension cables and the generator/battery cover from EcoFlow, too.

The solar extension cords were critical for placement of the generator/battery.

There’s no way I could’ve taken that solar generator/battery to Burning Man without the EcoFlow cover! I placed it on a table between two vehicles with a tarp behind and above it. The unit still did get dusty, but that did not affect performance. I used canned air to blow it out when I got home. Next time I’ll probably buy a kid’s tent or something else not sure. Tricky since it super needs to have ventilation but not get dusty.

I didn’t want to store the generator/battery in my little trailer, first because I was worried about it being too hot with not enough airflow and I wasn’t sure I wanted to sleep close to it, because, it’s a freaking giant battery, not because of noise - it’s a very quiet unit that sounds like a fan, and only when it’s charging does it make noise.

When it rained, I immediately disconnected the solar battery/generator and moved the unit to inside my jeep. (A friend told me if it got wet it would explode, so obviously I wasn’t gonna take that chance.)

I was able to charge my solar battery/generator to 100% thrice in 14 days thanks to our camp’s gasoline generator which helped keep things frozen in the ICECO unit. (By the way that ICECO frig freezer is a bad ass at keeping things cold, even when off, the temp never reached above 35 degrees.)

Some of what I learned…
Even though the solar battery/generator holds a whopping 2000 watts, the incoming solar to refill those 2000 watts is trickling in at a very slow rate from the poor little 220 watt panel, and that was not fast enough, in my case, to keep my frig freezer running continuously for two weeks. Also, I never saw the incoming wattage higher than 189 watts at home, at the hotel, and at Burning Man. Not sure if this is just the deal with solar panel performance? I cleaned the panel daily with a very long swifter duster.

For next year….I’ll probably purchase two 400 W solar panels (+ my 220 = 1020 total watts) and maybe even an additional battery (there’s an EcoFlow option available). I’d like to take my RV instead next year and I’d like to be able to not use the RV’s onboard gas powered generator at all if possible.

The EcoFlow solar panel and solar generator/battery is very easy to set up, super intuitive, and charges up really fast @ 1.5 hours.

Please note if you buy the bundle it will arrive in two separate shipments, even though Amazon will say it’s shipped and delivered.

The battery/generator is a little heavy, but I could still handle lifting it and moving it around on my own. Moving it with two people is super easy. It’s about a foot high and 2 feet wide with extra large sturdy handles in each side.

Also, the generator/battery has a pretty cool app (but couldn’t use while camping without internet).

Overall, this bundle was an awesome introduction into the world of solar for me.

I’m very pleased with my purchase.
