More Exciting News from EcoFlow

EcoFlow offers a huge range of products useful for powering your adventures -- from portable power stations like the DELTA series power stations and powerful DELTA Pro, to the very capable EcoFlow Power Kits.

New EcoFlow Alternator Charger for EcoFlow DELTA Series

Alternator charging can provide the highest rate of power input for recharging batteries in your campervan's or 4x4's "house" electrical system. While we always recommend installing as many solar panels as possible for your available roof space, your running engine can provide the most powerful and reliable charging source, regardless of the weather.

That's why EcoFlow's new 800W EcoFlow Alternator Charger is a game-changer for folks wanting to recharge their EcoFlow DELTA series portable power stations with their vehicles.

Benefits:

DELTA-series power stations: now have a very capable 800W charger that can connect into an extra battery port (XT150-style) on the side of the power station.
DELTA Pro power stations: now have a very capable 800W charger that connects into one of the rear battery ports through a Smart Generator Adapter (sold separately).
Both power stations now have the ability to do simultaneous solar and alternator charging when used in a vehicle. No need to pull cables in and out of an XT60 port like in the past!
Alternator charging capability has just quadrupled for both DELTA power stations, going from 15A@12VDC to 60A@12VDC! That even matches the alternator charging capability of port 1 on a Power Hub with a Power Kit, a huge improvement for DELTA-series units.

Our favorite EcoFlow portable power station of all the DELTA-series units for use in a campervan is still the DELTA Pro portable power station.

WHY WE LOVE ECOFLOW DELTA PRO:

The DELTA Pro has full 30A output at 12V from the Anderson port, so you can connect a proper DC fuse box like the Blue Sea ST Blade for your DC circuits you want to power.
The DELTA Pro has an Infinity port that when used with the EcoFlow EV X-Stream Connector (sold separately) can charge the 3.6 kWh battery from 0-100% in slightly less than two hours from a level 2 EV charging station! No other portable power stations that I've seen can charge from an EV charger. It's a great fast option for recharging your DELTA Pro battery if you are in need and short on time.
The DELTA Pro uses the same powerful 3600W continuous AC output inverter with 7200W surge as the Power Kit and a 3.6 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery -- much better than other power stations with less powerful inverters, smaller batteries and lithium chemistries that don't last nearly as long as LFP batteries.
The DELTA Pro is powerful enough to use both as a complete electrical system to power your campervan and a capable emergency home backup power system (once you get an electrician to wire an input box like the Smart Home Panel or EcoFlow Home Backup Transfer Switch into your home's main panel).
PLUS the DELTA Pro now has 60A alternator charging with the new EcoFlow 800W Alternator Charger and simultaneous alternator and solar charging input capability!

Wiring

The EcoFlow 800W Alternator Charger works with a variety of recreational vehicles. For vans, cars, 4x4s, and overlanders, see the wiring diagrams below. For trailers and pull-behinds, you can set up your charger inside your vehicle to minimize cable length.

Three Ways to Recharge

Charging Mode: Use your EcoFlow 800W Alternator Charger to recharge while driving using excess power generated by the alternator to recharge your DELTA-series power station.
Reverse Charging or Jump Start Mode: When in need, you can reverse charge using your EcoFlow Alternator Charger by starting the engine with a transient current provided by the power station.
Battery Maintenance Mode: Extends the life of your vehicle battery while parked by utilizing a small reverse current to maintain the battery charge.
