Let's design our own UPS

Ecoflow I am importing, assuming there is demand ( I want one myself so will buy 2 more on credit card and see how they sell )


I've added some power banks so long, the stock should arrive tomorrow, these units I'll keep in physical supply by me so people can buy one one

The reason I want the Mini over the Delta is that the mini has WiFi so one can control and change settings (can also set it to only charge to x % to extend the longevity of the battery pack) via smartphone app as well update firmware. It also supports their x-boost functionality which the original Delta does not. The Delta Max and Pro is too expensive for me. Ive been looking at these units for a long time now.

The River is cool but 600w means I cant run a microwave oven from it :P

One of the distributors told me that they are expecting stock by the end of July. I was hoping the rand would recover but so far it isn't looking good and I'm expecting them to become event more expensive locally.

One thing lacking on the lower range Ecoflow units is LiFePO4. They currently only have around 800 cycles before the battery goes to 80% capacity IIRC. An alternative that has LiFePO4 and could match the Ecoflow would be welcome but I think Ecoflow is currently ahead of the pack in terms of innovation.

A friend of mine had the same issue. I think he's going to buy a Bluetti instead for that reason.
It's this one, but I have no idea where he's getting it. https://www.bluettipower.com/products/bluetti-eb3a-portable-power-station

Can you get powerbanks that do 65W charging? To keep a laptop going.

What's the smallest LiFePo4 powerbank you can get?

Not sure about LiFePo4 power banks I will check for you.

The biggest Romoss I can get is the Romoss ZEUS 60000mAh Power Bank

for laptops I think this will work

WINX GO Ultra 20000mah PD 100W Power Bank

@ R955 incl

If you buy two or more I can deliver for free to your door.

Can you guesstimate the piece of the EcoFlow Delta Mini please?

Depending on DHL & SARS, landed price will probably be around R18k

Might be less, might be more, unsure until they have stock to ship and I pay SARS their imports

Looks like they will be selling for around R19300 locally. I'm having second thoughts about the Delta Mini. Maybe I should wait for something with Lifepo4 and +-1500W output to come around.
 
Was posted on avforums. It's legit. I orderd and received... They were pretty quick with shipping via Courier guy.
Think I'm gonna grab a pair as well. What are you using to charge them?

Delivery JHB only :(
They're also limiting orders to 1 per person now.

A 600va ups. I tested and after several hours the battery was at 13.46v. I got it with 13.37 in the box. Will have to wait and see how well it works.

It charged to 13.83v tested 17 hours after loadshedding. It wasn't drained during loadshedding though.
Edit: slight correction: 2x UPSes one 600va one 720va. 2x of these securi-prod Batteries.

The 720va charged it to 13.83v in 17 hours after loadshedding.
The 600va charged it to 13.52v in 17 hours after loadshedding.
