We have 2 EcoFlow Deltas (early generation) power banks. On our gladiator I had a Cascadia 4x4 hood solar panel constantly charging our Delta then trickle-charging the truck's battery as needed once the power bank(s) are topped off but solar charging is excruciatingly slow as you know. While out the Delta would run our dometic fridge/freezer, heater, coffee maker etc. Great but never really enough power nor capability to do much more than RTT glamor camp across the country, which was an absolute blast, family and I have been doing it for over a decade since our little ones could camp. That said, I'd leverage our gas genny for any legit power outages at home etc.
While a single Delta can power our fridge/freezers/misc. items during a power outage I don't even bother because I can't recharge it fast enough to be of any sustained usage in a power outage. 800W of charging capability changes that dramatically though, you can't get that on a 110v outlet at home. At 560 - 800W of charging (real-world field tested, the over-landing world is jumping all over these, Bluetti's is actually underrated) I could just hot-swap deltas OR expand via battery pack to mirror PowerBoost capabilities and then some plus it's portable.
Here they are for reference:
Bluetti Charger 1 - Cheaper and won't trickle charge the car battery but is universal and can charge most power banks at 560W assuming they have a standard solar M4C input (basically takes the panel charging port).
EcoFlow Version - More expensive but delivers up to 800W of charging and can shift modes to top off the truck battery.
I only found 1 post here though and it was on the EcoFlow model. Anyone else jump on one of these and if so, how was installation?
