Solar as car input?

🛠️ Troubleshooting Help

I’ve a delta 2 max. There are 2x100w in one XT60i, and 1x100w in the other. Delta keeps classifying them as car input and limiting the full input in one or both to 2A, and yes they are the i connectors with the extra connector. How do I get this miserable thing to work without having to dig out the XT cables and plug back in to force it to reconsider?!? Every time I disconnect the connectors they get weaker right, and increase chances of a fire.

So after owning a Delta 2 for 2 years, I decided to double my power with a refurb from Ecoflow's eBay store. It has weird behaviours not very much like the Delta 2.

Quirk one: the display on delta 2 was pretty buffered, if watts changed or time estimates changed, it wouldn't stutter between two values, it would average them and give a pretty static display. Like it wouldn't show a reading between 3-4 watts as quickly flickering between 3 and 4 like it is on the Max. Same for the time estimates.

Quirk two: the display won't stay off, on the Delta 2, once you hit the time you set the display timeout say 10 seconds, it would go off and stay off until something changed like you plugged some

I can't seem to find any information on how I would connect my Alternator charger to a Delta 3? The connector looks pretty different... no one mentions it in the YT video reviews I have watched. Any info out there? Thanks!

So I have a setup that has 3x 17.25V/5.8A 100W panels on roof of RV and an Ecoflow 160W portable that is 18.2V/8.8A that I pull out when needed, like if sun is low in sky.

If I understand this correctly- the panels on roof will be either 51.75V/5.8A in series or 17.25V/17.4A in Parallel.

Can any one see a way I can add in the Ecoflow 160 that doesn't exceed the 60V/15A max of the Delta 2?

Being roof mounted, the 3x100W will unlikely ever get to their maximum (but the guy who sold them to me said he got 350W once- they are Big Blue bifacial flexibles, they sure appear bigger than typical 100W panels so maybe they are underreported on the specs) So if I were to make the roof and portable pa

Can anyone recommend someone local to replace a spring?

Looking for a place that will send a repair guy and not a sales guy!! :)

Thanks!

What is it with the huge amount of AI generated sites appearing as top result that usually have nothing at all you’re looking for within? I’m so sick of this!

So I’ve heard dire warnings about how using this will kill my old alternator, but when you consider the AC can pull 2,500-3,000 watts… at idle, what harm is the charger doing exactly if your AC is off?

16

So I understand if I have say, a 100ah battery, and straight up alligator clip it to the Delta via XT60 port, it’ll charge around 100watts, which is fine. So my question is am I able to have a solar panel going to the external battery via charge controller at the same time it’s charging the delta? Will it simply pass through and fill the delta and then itself after the Delta stops taking a charge? (For consideration’s sake the delta also has alternator charger hooked up to it and I want the extra battery and a way to charge it as well)

Thanks for letting me pick smarter brains here!

So during the summer when I was on the road, my Delta 2 would slowly lose charge even if nothing was running and all output (AC, USB, DC) were toggled off. Now it’s sitting in my garage connected to WIFI, it’s been over a week turned on, with DC toggled on and device timeout at “never” but it’s not dropped a percentage point.

Is Bluetooth really that bad by itself? Can I turn that off while on the road and only use the physical interface?

Thanks!

It worked initially after install, had it all set up and it charged the Delta. The Delta interface shows it is still working and charging but there is no active interface for it in the App. None of the app buttons work except for the settings in the top right of screen. I ran firmware updates on both devices hours prior to install so that can't be the issue. It is happening on both bluetooth and WiFi.

I’ve been driving across the country and FIDO is getting worse and worse as I get closer to NFLD. Can someone give me a suggestion that might work better for my trip along NFLD?
