This was delivered few days back, the DURAVOLT 18inches AC/DC fan, having used cloud energy for about 6 months before the motor gave up, I have to say the highest speed of the cloud energy is almost the same with the least speed of this DURAVOLT, maybe this is as a result of their power consumption being different, 25watts/15 watts, and the cloud energy being 16inch. I'll update again after 6 months 😆

Link to where you bought this online?

Secondly, so some solar padi I just made let me try my hands on a Cworth 12.5v 100ah lithium ion phosphate battery, oh well I wasn't surprised with the performance when connected to the Ecoflow to charge through the solar input port, the battery being 12volts, and Ecoflow pulling 8amps, it only charged at 100watts.
I have a River2pro that can pull up to 220watts (dc charging )but not from a 12.5v battery.
So, the advice goes thus, like I have said before, when you want to increase your back up time by buying a third party battery, make sure you're buying at least a 24v battery, the 12v won't cut it, charging at 100watts is like not charging at all, and the system would eventually auto shut off and you run the risk of damaging the inbuilt battery of the Ecoflow power station if you have a load as little as 80 watts connected while this extra battery is plugged in, not worth it, get at least the 24v.
Now, I am looking at this brand making the news, colarsolar, saw a 24v 3.5kwh battery of this brand for 490k.

Nice one there. I have some questions...
1. How do you charge the external battery? Ecoflow or external source.
2. When being used together, which battery drains 1st? Ecoflow or external battery.

How many speed settings does it has? I got one yesterday for my mum with 3 speed settings and the least speed is crazy. I want the one with at least 5 speed settings. I would have preferred Qasa but she doesn't likes it because it does not has turning knob 😀

nurez305:
Has anyone try colasolar??

Hydronium:
Funny I was just bringing this here to ask you guys what you think of it...

chrisdking1:
I’ve been using the Hithium Hero EE1 for abh two months. It’s been particularly useful although I haven’t connected it to the changeover to carry the lighting and ceiling fans in the apartment. I haven’t also bought solar panels.

I only connect an extension to carry a 58” TV, 125watts and a 60watts standing fan (I use it at lowest speed) which might not be up to 60watts.

With load of abh 185watts, the Power station still manages to give me 3hours on each bar. Totalling more than 10hours to drain.

Can any solar engineer help me connect it to run the house fixing the solar panel?
4 bulbs
Two fans
1 TV

That sounds pretty good. I currently have the Delta 2 (1kWh), but it doesn’t last very long for my needs. I haven’t connected it to solar for charging yet. I’ve been considering selling it to get the Delta 2 Max instead. However, after reading your review, I’m now thinking it might be better to just get the ColaSolar 2000 (2kWh) as a backup for when my Delta 2 runs out. My only concern is that their power stations are so cheap—I just hope they’re not using low-quality materials that might fail within a year.

I used the car charger that came with my river 2 pro as I couldn't find the XT60 to MC4 cable.

It's showing that it's charging from a car while it's my solar panel that's connected and it's not giving more than 70W for a 200W panel.

What could be the reason?

I am happy to announce to you,even if you use a delta 2 max,you would have the same issue.

Power stations even though they are made to work like a bigger capacity power bank,are not totally meant to work like one that would depend on only grid charging.

Get your self a proper jinko panel required for your delta 2,

My delta 2 powers my whole apartment 24 hours and I have enough juice to last me tru the night.

Simply because I run heaviest appliances during peak period when sun is blazing and reduce my usage at night.

Even tubular batteries without solar would be very ineffective.

Rather than get a cola,use that money invest in a proper jinko panel

580w - 620w and enjoy your delta 2.

Rather than get a cola,use that money invest in a proper jinko panel and a delta 2 extra battery,
That's doubles your delta power to 2048kwh.

580w - 620w and enjoy your delta 2.

chrisdking1:
Is it a single Delta 2 that powers ur entire apartment for 24hours? What’s ur average load wattage, and what capacity of Jinko solar panels are connected?

nurez305:
Everyone knows how useful solar panels are for charging batteries without relying on the grid. The real challenge isn’t getting the panels, but finding a space to install it. This is the main issue in a rented apartment.

If not for space, I would have done proper solar set up instead of buying a power station. For now I still rely on grid to charge

noobody:
Yes a single delta 2 powers it,

Runs my large screen tv,home theatre,fridge,freezer,all fans(ceiling and standing),and on some crazy hot days,my AC too
I use a 585w jinko panel.

noobody:
You can fabricate a solar rack stand to accommodate your panel,also talk to your landlord to confirm if he would allow you install.
Solars are meant to be installed on roofs,
Not sure homes are built without roofs

With just 1kwh 😳😳, that's huge

You are missing the point,
The sun does all the job,
My battery continues to charge as long as the sun is up,
So by the time the sun goes down,I am mostly on full charge.

Babatundehy:
Three speed settings sir, and the airflow on the least speed setting is still a lot, especially on a cool night.

nurez305:
how will sun do all the job? Total solar input for delta 2 is 500watt, Ac alone will take minimum of 700watt. How will 500 watt input take over that output??

chrisdking1:
My thought exactly.

Delta 2 is 1000watts, let’s say it’s at 0% and starts charging by 11am at Sun Peak (500watts/hour) with a load of 260watts(1 TVset, Two Fans, 1 bulb), the PowerStation should get only 240watts/hour.
(Except this isn’t how it works)

In 4hours, the system should be full and ready for night backup.

At night, let’s say from 7pm, u connect 4bulbs(60watts) and two fans(120watts) totalling (180watts), in abh 6hours ur backup should be exhausted.
