Many were confused about the Extra Battery Ports 1 and 2. Here is a properly made adapter module with selectable configs for both ports. Based on the photos, you should be able to recreate it. Enjoy!

EDIT: The color of wires for my communication cable was YELLOW, GREEN, ORANGE. Pins 4, 5, 6 respectively.

Hi all,

My wire got stuck in the liner, and i tried to remove the wingnut to remove the gun. But the wingnut broke off. What to do now?

Thanks!

Space constraints caused this masterpiece. 6x 580w bifacials. 3s1p and 1s3p strings into a Delta Pro 3. Paired with an Ecoworthy 16kwh battery. White walls all around actually makes these very efficient. 70 degree vs 35 degrees has a deficit of 18%. But i space constraints 🤷‍♂️

Delta Pro 3 and Ecoworthy 16.07kWh battery Works great! 100a breaker since the max current the DP3 will ever draw is 4.4KW which is around 100a at low SOC. This breaker is a 100% version where you dont need to spec overhead.

EDIT: Write up on how this works. I got one of the smart link battery cables for the DP3 smart extra battery. When you cut that in half, you will see three cables. 4awg RED (Postive), 4awg BLACK (Negative), and a multi conductor communication cable.

Get yourself a DC Rated double pole circuit breaker that can break at least 100amps at 60vdc. It is imperative that you get a DC rated breaker as normal AC breaker cannot safely break the current once it’s flowing fast.

Connect the RED and BLACK cables to the breaker. Then peel back the insulation on the communication cable. Located the YELLOW and ORANGE conductors and remove a section of insulation on it.

Highly recommend you dont skip this step. Grab a multimeter in ohms or continuity mode. Locate the plug that goes into the ecoflow and read the small numbers on it. Find pins 4 and 6. Those two pins should have continuity to the Yellow and Orange wires respectively. If they arent. Check your wire colors and try again. Or maybe ecoflow changed the wire colors.

Grab a 1000 ohm resistor, any wattage value will work. Solder/Crimp it across the Yellow and Orange wires. Wrap it up with heat shrink or tape very well. Then wrap up the entire communication cable up very well. If any of those conductors touch the battery wires, you will fry something.

You are done! Just attach another battery to the other end of the breaker, mind the polarity.

Recommended turn on procedure:

1. Turn off breaker
2. Plug into Ecoflow
3. Connect your Load, Battery, MPPT, ETC
4. Turn on Breaker

Recommended turn off procedure:

1. Turn off breaker
2. Unplug Load, Battery, MPPT, ETC
3. Unplug from Ecoflow

Its recommended that you use Extra Battery Port 1, ive found that sometimes EBP2 doesnt work. Actually, just follow the same direction, but put the resistor across pins 4 and 5 to make it work. The wire colors are different so if you know the colors, comment below and ill pin it.

Thank you! It is being used for the programming pins for a stm32.

My 60TB UNRAID server was hitting 59C drive temps and hotter temps were in the forecast. So Zero Breeze to the rescue. I set it to run on low which consumes about 92 watts, and it dropped the drive temps down to 38C. Now i just need to figure out how to program a relay to turn it off, when drive temps gets too low. I know sub 25C is not good.

At peak sun, the heat soaked attic space got to 122F. Yikes!

Anyone know a small 500-1000btu air conditioner i can use permanently? My little rack only has the server, NVR, and some Omada equipment.

I changed the map lights to red LEDs so I can retain my night vision. I left the cabin lights alone, so they are still white if you turn the cabin lights on.
