This little box provides on-demand power when off the grid


EcoFlow’s Alternator Charger helps keep all your tools and toys charged when driving away from civilization.

When you return home from the job site or vacation, those big-ass portable batteries can be connected to EcoFlow’s $200 balcony solar kit to help offset your energy bill and provide emergency power during a blackout. Here we were staging the installation, testing that big Alternator Charger cable connected directly to the starter battery (to the left of the cordless screwdriver), and on the busbar located beneath the driver’s seat. The Delta Pro keeps my laptops, phones, drones, and headphones charged, in addition to powering my Starlink internet, lights, fridge, water pump, induction cooktop, and rooftop ventilation, as well as EcoFlow’s Wave 2 air conditioner and heater combo I just reviewed.
