EcoFlow Delta 2 for Overlanders | So Close to Perfect!

Why EcoFlow Delta 2 is different from others for overlanding and car camping? Can you ditch gas and go full electric at camp?

The Delta 2 has come down significantly in price thanks to all the competitions from other brands :) Check out the latest best price below (affiliate link).

I've probably spent 50+ hours watching reviews of different power stations trying to cover the evaluation you did in this video, and no one else actually does a good job of weighing the real world trade offs between electric, traditional power, form factor, charge rates including the Toyota inverter hack, all the things you take into account here, absolutely brilliant!

The Delta 1 l charge from Modified inverter.

What about connecting the DC charger to the solar Input?

I need my cold ass sandwich heated up. 😆 🤣 😂

First time viewer and very impressed! Very nice, clean and efficient presentation. I just got my first portable power station with the newly released EcoFlo River 2 as a car camping base source of power for my electronics.
Now you have put this in my head. Very compelling video. I hope they do find a work around for the inverter problem but as I’ve watched other power station channels, the pure sign wave output is highly prized within that community.

I’m not an overlander, but having a travel trailer, our electrical needs are similar. Very useful video, thanks

Hey, great, simple but very clear explanation on the features, benefits, and some limitation.
Most YouTubers are not very good story tellers, I watched yours all the way to the end.
Thanks for posting a great vid!

Great Video Kai! Now I'm jealous I don't have one of these Delta 2's because I'm not one to judge using some electric creature comforts LOL. I caught a short screenshot from one of my videos at 7:28 ;). I'm honestly flattered that you've seen any of my stuff. Your content, scripting, production quality, presentation, and subtle humor is great and I'm sure you'll be wildly successful. Keep up the great work!

I have the Delta Max, the form factor was one of the reasons I went with it. Everything is in the perfect place for where I have it in my vehicle. I currently have it set to only charge to 75% to protect the cycle count. In the future I will swap to something with Lifepo4.

Great review! The Delta 2 is a true game changer and has no real competition. Another game changer is the much smaller Bluetti EB3A with the 268 WH LiFePO4 battery and 600 watt inverter. I have both for different purposes. You can plug a 24 VDC 10 amp charger (cheap lead acid type is good) into the Toyota crappy wave inverter and charge the Delta 2 thru the solar charging input which allows you to charge the Delta 2 up from the alternator during a long drive

I consistently feel that overlanding is so much more about what you OWN than where you GO. I’ll stick with what works vs. maximizing comfort in every possible way. Read the bestselling book “The Comfort Crisis, ” and learn how the relentless quest for comfort is killing our sense of aliveness.

You nailed this one and gained a subscriber. I dry camp our Airstream for weeks at a time, using a Ecoflow Delta Max with two extra Smart Batteries. We use all of the appliances in your video, as well as the built in furnace and large refrigerator. I do have 600W of solar on the roof, but I too was disappointed to discover that the 400W inverter in my truck was not pure sine wave to satisfy the Ecoflow charger. Glad that you highlighted this issue. I’ve spoken with Ecoflow about this, but received no optimism that it could be changed.

I'm not an over overlander, but do "camp" at national/state parks in a squaredrop camper. I take my Keurig coffee machine, and ran it as needed while also running my 48qt fridge/freezer, and charging cell phones, and grandkids tablets. Last two trips I ran all of that from my Jackery 1500, but did need to recharge the Jackery a bit using a inverter generator. Next time, I'll be taking my EcoFlow Delta Max 2000. The grandkids will have a EcoFlow River 2 to charge phones, etc. I prefer the EcoFlow gear a lot more than the Jackery.

Since it has 1024Wh of capacity. It can power a lot of portable devices like my trusty coffee maker.

Another great video Kai! I ran into similar issues with my Ecoflow sweet of battery banks as well. I suspect it is more to do with the feature of being able to use these as back-UPS for your computer or sump pump (my case), so it can detect if something is wrong with the signal and switch to battery mode. It would be nice if you could disable this feature in the app and turn it on or off though!

I have a delta 2, and it's the perfect battery for the weekend warriors, especially when it's compared to Goal Zero and the oversized Bluetti AC200P.

This is the best camping/overlanding-centric assessment of not just a power station, but practical use of gear. I started with a 500Wh Bluetti, went to a 1200Wh CTECHi, and am now running a 1920Wh Pecron (which is so efficient, it's comparable to power stations larger than 2000Wh!). As we brought more modern conveniences with us to the outdoors, we needed more power. Roughing it by myself is one thing, but getting my family to "rough" it also didn't last long so I needed a way to keep the experience enjoyable for everyone. And no one should discount the convenience of a microwave! 😆 Fitting the larger power station was a challenge, but my rig is always overstuffed anyways.
We still use propane stoves as it's nice to be able to roast marshmallows without a campfire.

EcoFlow just released an alternator charging solution! 800 watts 🎉 Looks like a really slick solution.

[vanvorst]

🤣 "heat up your cold-ass sandwich"

Awesome review as usual 👍 The Delta 2 is $2000 here so I ended up going with the Bluetti EB70 at under $1000 here. I use this in combination with my dual battery setup and charge it on the go on the go with a 24 volt step up transformer I made to charge at a full 200 watts while driving. The dual system charges both at the same time while driving. Lithium in general and with a 1000 watts inverter built in, its a game changer for me, I love my toast in the morning and electric blanket at night 😁 Totally agree on the form factor, the Delta 2 is so much better. Cheers and merry xmas.
