EcoFlow Delta II Powerstation/Extra Battery - Review and as a Hybrid Power Source for Fridge Part 4
NOTE: When you first plug your EcoFlow Delta II into the wall, make sure it's on a circuit that doesn't have a lot of load on it. The default charging rate is 10 amps which is 66.7% of a normal 15 amp circuit. I used the dedicated 20 amp circuit my washing machine runs is plugged into. You can use the EcoFlow App to set the charging rate for the future.
In the past, I've used my Champion 3400-Watt Dual Fuel Generator as an emergency power source in case of extended blackouts. But leaving the generator running all the time or having to start and stop it periodically to keep the refrigerator cold or when we wanted to use the microwave is a pain.
I realized with the EcoFlow Delta II Powerstation I could set up a hybrid power system. The EcoFlow could power the refrigerator all night without having to have the generator running. During the day, I could utilize the fast charging feature of the Delta II (80% in 1 hour at 10 amps) to recharge the battery as needed much like a hybrid car. I test that system in parts 3 & 4 of this review.
Here's a review of my Champion 3400-Watt Dual Fuel Generator I used to recharge the Delta 2:
