I’m considering getting an EcoFlow DELTA series power station along with their 800W alternator charger, and I had a couple of questions I was hoping someone here could help with.
Right now, I have a Victron IP67 battery charger installed on my Bronco. When it’s parked in the garage at night, I plug it in to keep the battery topped off. I do this for a few reasons, but the main one is that I run a Wolfbox G900 dash cam and use timelapse mode while the vehicle is parked at work during the day. My commute isn’t always long enough to make up for that constant draw, so I plug in at night to avoid any battery issues. That part’s a bit of background, but it explains why I’m paying attention to battery maintenance.
One of the reasons I’m looking at the EcoFlow setup is the alternator charger’s ability to work in reverse and charge the vehicle battery from the power station. It seems like that could be really useful in situations where I can’t plug in overnight, or even just as a backup way to help keep the battery topped off.
For those of you who actually use this reverse-charging feature, how useful has it been in real-world use? When do you typically find yourself using it? Thanks!
