Is this cable okay for the Delta 2 bosses.

Hydronium:
Bypass simply means you can use the device while charging. Several other products do not support pass-through current.

nurez305:
please I am confused about something, since you can use it while charging, what will happen to your power station when you forget to remove the charger from socket when the power station is currently in use? I.e the power station supply the electricity to the socket that is charging the ecoflow. Will it spoil it immediately??

Emoreni:
This is for those using solar panel to charge it.

nurez305:
Oh great, it mean it can not be charge with electricity while in used?? Am I correct?

I think I understand what you meant. It will blink like something that wants to faint...and not good...which means it can spoil it if you are not careful.

I think what you are trying to say is if you are charging the Ecoflow via solar, and you forgot to remove the AC charger from the socket, and when you put it on to power the house, it is expected for the Ecoflow to charge itself from the power it provides, right? No, it will almost switch itself off and be blinking like that, like a transformer wey get issue.

I hope I am right in your question.

You almost got what I was asking. I plan to buy the Delta 2 before the end of the month to take advantage of the Jumia Tech Week promo. However, I won’t be able to use solar panels with it because there's no space for them where I live. So, my plan is to use the grid to charge it whenever there is power.

The reason I asked this question is that I don't want to waste money hiring an electrician to install another changeover switch for the power station. Instead, I want to use the one for my generator to power the entire house. That way, once I switch over to the power station, all the sockets and lights in the house will automatically be powered by it.

My concern is whether forgetting to unplug the charger before switching over would harm the power station. I believe that could create a power loop and cause damage.

What I’m now considering is installing a separate socket that only works with the grid to avoid this mistake. However, that would still require an electrician, which I was trying to avoid.

Well, I don't know how to explain it but I use the same changeover I use for my gen for my D2. I posted pictures for iamlammy. I didn't do another changeover. The thing is to pull it down from nepa to gen, fix bulb to it to know when grid light is back, just as I normally do, before turning on my D2 AC and switching it box to ON.

Secondly, I don't know who uses generator and D2 at the same time? That's really strange to hear.

I use my D2 like I did the generator. What I only added to it was the mouth for AC.

This one is quite expensive, there are other sellers with better price.

@Fuckboys

How is it going? Trust you are good.

It’s been 4 months since I have been using the Josh system. Here are my observations as I would love to hear from you as well.

I have 2 controllers, a PWM and the Felicity 30Amps MPPT controller. They seem to not function optimally anymore. Perhaps it’s from the controllers or from the system itself.

Felicit Charge Controller
Starting with the Felicity charge controller, at first when I got it, it was perfect, no problem at all. Then for the last one month, before it charges my system, it must make sure it sees a low voltage of at least 12.6V from the previous night before it considers to charge the battery. Otherwise, if it starts charging the battery above 12,6V, it will assume that battery is full when it gets to 13.1V or so and will stop charging.

Secondly, if all loads are fully connected at that 12.6V from the previous night at around maybe at 7:30am when it sees sunlight, it will keep charging normally until I turn on any other load, this controller will just turn on the red light with the “Error 04” message; suggesting that the battery is full. And will stop charging no matter how long you wait for it. The system will keep draining and it will still refuse to charge. You can imagine.

To fix this issue, I usually will disconnect the wires from the controller and connect them to the PWM controller. But this solution has stopped because the PWM controller, no longer charges the system anymore. The only thing it does is to throw the “Error 12” message and keeps tripping after every few seconds.

PWM Controller
Like I mentioned before, this one no longer charges my system.

The Fix these days
Since the PWM no longer charges my system, I have no option than to rely on my Felicity. So if the problem of it refusing to charge my system because it feels that my system’s battery is full, or the second problem of it refusing to charge when I turn on more load and it returns the “error 04” message, I will firstly bridge the wire from the system in just a second, and connect it to the controller, then connect back the wire from the panel to the controller. After this is done, the system starts charging again. This is my fix this past one month.

Why am I explaining these details?
I have seen you ask questions about the authenticity of your charge controller, and I am almost tempted to ask the same question. But what is the probability of three controllers having an issue to the same type of system? Could it be that the system has an issue with imbalance in it’s connected batteries? Or could there be more? Or is it just a normal thing and probably all these analysis is just in the head?

Most importantly
I am considering upgrading my system, and I saw you posted the other day that you also want to upgrade, which begs me to ask you if you want to upgrade to another of Josh’s system or not. I am considering that, and on one end, I guess my decision really lies on your own review as well.

Apologies for making this a long one, but for the sake of anyone considering getting Joshnka system, you really have to consider all these reviews to know if it’s worth it or not.

Ps: so far so good, there is nothing wrong with how long the system lasts or so, it’s still serving me perfectly but for this issues I’ve pointed out.

Thanks in anticipation.

If you read through this thread, especially my posts from December, you will see my setup. Let me reiterate, yes you can use the one for generator to power the entire house. That is what I use too. The power station is also a generator of some kind. Now, about forgetting to unplug, yes, it has happened to me twice. I didn't off the socket it was plugged in to charge via NEPA, and when I ON it to power the house, the light came on and then blink like something that wanted to die...I was like what's going on, immediately I saw that it was the socket I didn't turn off. So I switched it off and the power stayed on. Not good so as not to spoil the device. That's it. Click the quote below to see the pictures of what I wrote then:

Necksonnel:
But why should that be a problem if we are using the generator line for it just like generator. When using generator we can switch to PHCN even while generator is ON and nothing happens. I think the delta 2 power should stop at the change over place after moving the switch to PHCN and shouldn’t cause any loop. I don’t know if you get me
It will just be charging and the power it supply won’t go into the house but stop at change over because the switch has disconnect it

twosquare:
Do you want to blow the house and turn it into fireworks?

While will you want to use it when grid light is available?

Except it is not connected to the mains, but not all Ecoflow allow pass-through.

Pv panel finally came in. 555W Jinko. I can now see why many people prefer smaller panels, particularly in tall buildings. Thing is as heavy as lead. Getting it up a roof can be a serious hassle.

Also I realised that the previous one I ordered from Alaba was polycrystalline, and was not up to the slated 550w. It was a rip-off that couldn't have been more than 400W. Those ppl are crooks.

Now I'm wondering whether to still run it in parallel with the 555w or just stick to the 555w alone...

Pls recommend one abeg. I just returned one I ordered for on jumia, the fan na nonsense.

I won't recommend this product.

Don't be deceived by the 2000W dey advertise, it's actually 1000W with a 104ah battery.

Any company that fails to add fine touches to their product is not a gud brand. I have the battery rating from 0-100. From 85-100 is whr the juice is, 84-0 depletes in less than 10mins.

A power station of this amount shouldn't be seen doing this rubbish. I strongly do not recommend u buy a skyrun product.

Thanks guys for this wonderful thread. Not done reading but learned a lot so far.

This post by twosquare really cleared my doubts about certain things but one question I still have is about the socket inlet type.

The generator adapter I’m used to and actually have is the type attached here in.

Not quite sure what type of socket the EcoFlow River Pro comes with by default or if it is different from the standard, is there some sort of converter?

Please, any clarification on this would be appreciated. Thanks again
