EcoFlow DELTA 2 vs Honda EU2200i

“The Bluetti AC180 will draw at most 1440W when recharging. The Honda eu2200i will charge it just fine, the Bluetti will get up to 80% charge in 45 minutes. This is actually my strategy for dealing with power outages going forward. I have an Anker Solix C1000 that I'll use to keep lights on, Starlink on, phones charged, and some other basic stuff. When the battery starts to run low, I'll charge it with my generator (Predator 2000 inverter generator). I just had to deal with 11 days without power and having to run the generator to get internet and charge our phones was a pain in the ass.”

“A shame that the original post has gone, but I'll share my experiences anyway. I used to own an Ecoflow Delta 2 for my log cabin which I loved - it worked really well with about 1.8kW power delivery (could boil a travel kettle using it), but I found that it wasn't quite enough capacity to last a full weekend. We had a 50W coolbox attached to it, and it would be flat after a day. One thing you've got to realize is that the capacity that the manufacturer says you're getting is not what you actually get - this is because the inverter, display and fans all take energy, and in fact the useable amount of capacity on the Delta 2 was only about 800Wh. Talking of fans - the fans on the Delta 2 were REALLY loud, and that was one reason I decided to sell it. About 6 months ago I upgraded to an Anker power station (it's the Solix F2000 for anyone who's interested). It's got the all important Li-Po battery tech and a much more chunky 2048Why of capacity - (of which about 1700Wh is useable). I've coupled this with some solar powers and can now last almost indefinitely on free solar if I'm reasonably careful with what I use through the day. Overall I'd definitely recommend these things but they're not cheap - make sure you get a decent warranty - most of the big players are offering 5 years now as standard. I've not had any technical problems with either manufacturer though to be fair - hopefully it'll last me a long time!”
