River 2 PD port only supplies 7-14 Watts

  • Firmware updated this morning.
  • Battery state is 90% plus (even 100% when starting).
  • Only 12-14 watts reported for charging my cell phone (and chromebook).
  • Attempted to reset BMS....
  • USB-C (PD) output power actually drops when the River 2 is receiving AC power.
  • Using USB-C cable that works just fine when charging from a power brick.

Is the PD port NOT spec compliant (or up to Echoflows claims)? Or is it possible the low wattage reporting is erronous?

The above bullets pretty much cover what I could find on the internet.

Stream Ultra cable extension

Just took delivery of a Echoflow Stream Ultra. The cable that came with it is not long enough to get reach electrical socket. Is it of to link it through a cable box to a second cable and if so can anyone tell me the specification of the extension cable and ifs available in B & Q or off Amazon. Thanks.

When does adding a 3rd Delta Pro Ultra battery actually make sense?

I had Delta Pro Ultra with 2 batteries (12kWh total). Works fine for 1-2 day outages if I'm careful with AC usage. But PSPS sometimes goes 3+ days. Wondering if I should add a 3rd battery now or just wait and see.

The math: Gets me to 18kWh which should cover 3 days pretty comfortably. Or do I just add portable solar panels instead and stretch the 12kWh by recharging during the day?

What did others do? Batteries first or solar first?

New Function “Grid-Tied Output Power”

Hey guys

I am using an Ecoflow Stream Ultra and a Stream AC Pro. Yesterday I figured out there a new function in the app called “Grid-Tied Output Power” or as I have the app in German “Dreiphasige netzgekoppelte Ausgangsleistung”

As I understand the function, it is possible — at least in Germany, where a house has three electrical phases — to connect one EcoFlow device per phase. The system automatically checks whether such a system is connected to a given phase. If this is the case, the legally permitted maximum wattage is enabled for that phase.

This means, for example, that if I have one EcoFlow device connected to each of two different phases, the system can feed 800 W into each phase. In total, this would allow for 1600 W of output if both phases simultaneously required 800 W.

In my initial tests, this solution works very well. At least I can see in the smart meter how the different phases are being controlled.

Since I currently have one Ultra and one Stream AC Pro, I am considering expanding my system with another battery. Up to now, I planned to get another Stream AC Pro and connect the dishwasher directly to it to use the Bypass function. However, I am now wondering whether this is still necessary or even makes sense, or whether a Stream AC (without Pro) would be sufficient, and whether it would be better to ensure that an EcoFlow device is connected to all three phases in order to feed in the legally permitted maximum power three times overall.

Purely in theory, it would also be possible to set the system to “Other Region” and therefore feed in 1200 W per phase, which with three devices would total 3600 W. Wouldn’t this make the function of the Stream AC Pro — which can output 1200 W per socket — obsolete?

Or am I missing something?

EcoFlow 1024Wh 1800W DELTA 3 Classicas UPS?

I am looking to get a EcoFlow 1024Wh 1800W DELTA 3 Classic and use it as a UPS for 2 months when im not home to keep Internet/router and a few Ubiquiti radios active. It might draw 140w constantly. After that i will use it while camping/in outages. Is that recommented product?

Power button LED pulsing, DELTA 3 Pro.

I'm using it as a UPS, is this normal behavior that is will just pulse forever? Is there a setting that will stop it? Blinking lights are for getting my attention, if it's operating normally, why does it need to blink? (or do I have something wrong?)

Balcony system suggestions please…

After a lot of research and recommendations including reviews from the good folks on this forum, I've decided to dip my toe into the murky waters of self sustainability, and drop a few quid on the Ecoflow Stream Ultra X. Only to find frustratingly the darned thing is now out of stock, probably because potential buyers like me have been spooked by the Iran crisis and inevitable future electricity unit price increases. Am I on the right track with the following alternative, assuming they are still available - 1 x Stream Ultra, paired with an AC @ 1,9020w getting close to doing the same job? I have a couple of 450w panels, my main requirement is to cover the small daytime base load of around 150-400w and hopefully have enough residual power to top up the Ultra and AC. No EV. Yet. Brain fog after looking at so many stats, I just need to know if the above is the best route or is there a better compromise. I should add I really don’t want to incur cost of Shelly units and other monitors that require the skills of an electrician. I’m hoping with the help of my reasonably sunny location (Southampton) will provide the likely legal 800w and come up to expectation? Thanks in advance for any input

Need some help Support please

My Actual voltage that I read at my DPU set up coming from solar, is about 25 volts more then What the Lab report shows in the app. Its effecting my actual wattage.

Do you time shift power use?

My local power utility wants to adopt TOU (time of use) type rates. This might mean you pay 15 cent per kwh at 3am when demand low but say 20 cents at 3pm on a hot day when demand high.

Just curious if anyone is using their batteries to reduce this by charging at night but running appliances off batteries during day?

Connecting 2 Delta Pro Ultra X’s on the App

I have two EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra X inverters powering 48 kW of batteries (2 stacks of 4). My question is does anyone else have multiple EcoFlow DPUX inverters listed on their app so that you can see the amount of power input and output from the battery stack? FYI, I do have the two stacks connected to each other if that matters. The problem I have is that when I try to Bluetooth from the app to identify the inverter that’s not on the app it doesn’t show up and I don’t know if the stacks being connected affects that or not but EcoFlow does not give any good directions on how to make both inverters show up in the app so that I can control them remotely.

Delta Pro-0034 compatible with Smart Home Panel 2

I just had my Smart Home Panel 2 installed, and I currently have the Delta Pro-0034. From what I’ve researched, they appear to be compatible, but the connectors are different and I’m not seeing a cable or adapter that allows them to work together.

Can someone point me in the right direction or let me know what cable/adapter I need? I’d really appreciate the help.

Thank you in advance.

Help?

Does anyone know why the input and output power are the same on my Delta Pro Max? I have something plugged into it, which explains the output; however, it’s not plugged into AC power/Solar, so I’m not sure why I’m having input levels. Thanks!

u/twodirtysocks — 2 days ago

What happens if….

If I try to power more than my Delta Pro3 can handle?

I’m thinking specifically if the AC draws more amps at startup than the inverter can handle? I do have a soft start kit on the AC and it now draws 22 at start up, but it’s possible the AC could be kicking in at the same time my well pump is running.

I’m running the battery through a transfer switch - would the fuses in the transfer switch for the AC circuit just pop?

Or does the entire inverter shut down?

Customer Service ghosting

Hi,

I have a ton of Ecoflow products, along with SHP2 + 2 DPU + 5 batteries. One returned an error and through process of elimination I figured it was a bad battery (basically, everything stops working if you connect it and returns an error, and starts working fine if you disconnect it). Around May 1 I emailed Ecoflow and after some back and forth on May 5 they agreed it needed service and said "we will provide after sales service." OK, in a previous breakdown last year, the next day I got an email from someone else asking if I wanted a refurb replacement or repair, and after a couple of weeks I completed an exchange, no problems.
This time, two weeks have passed and they have totally ghosted me. I basically get an auto-reply saying nothing in particular. I know this experience is common right now (I saw a post where a guy has been waiting two months), either because Ecoflow is growing too fast or some other kind of process failure. Has anyone figured out how to escalate it? I do have the PLUS but the express replacement thing never seems to even come up and seems to be a myth. Since Ecoflow has a location here in California both in SF and Walnut, I am thinking of a complaint to the AG's office. That will at least get it escalated (basically, the AG sends a copy of your complaint to their lawyers and this usually escalates it since some exec intervenes), but it seems like overkill right now. I.e., does anyone have some less extreme secret route to escalation? Does the phone work better (I am thinking no, since there is no way to prove anything)?
TIA

Have had a Delta 3 Pro for over a year, but used it only a few times as a portable AC power station. Like it plenty for that. Now I'd like to throttle the 12V current output when powering a small circuit board. So far as I can tell, this is not a feature built into the EcoFlow app, correct?

Eco Flow App not adding my devices

I’m trying to add my Delta Mini to the EcoFlow app. It goes through the setup process, shows the device, but once I close the app and return to the default space, it disappears.

For my EcoFlow Rapid Flow, the app doesn’t detect it at all. I’ve checked all the settings and confirmed Wi‑Fi is on. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I had the Smart Home Panel 2 installed today, and that one shows up in the app and works as expected.
