The Ham Radio two point zero Audio podcast RIP. Thank you for downloading and listening to this podcast. So basically what I do is I take all the audio clips out of my videos and upload them to spreaker, and then from there they're spread out to iTunes and SoundCloud and now Amazon Audible as well. But I want to welcome you and thank you for joining the audio section of
this series on Ham Radio. I hope you enjoy it, and I would appreciate you leaving us a comment or a review on whatever podcast service you're listening from. Thank you. In seventy three, I hope you enjoy it. Introducing the Eco Float Delta to the Max Solar Generator, a twenty four hundred watt gas free solar generator ideal for home backup and replacing a two thousand wat gas power generator which I have right here. This generator right here is when
I carry around in my truck. I use it at the Hunting Lease. I use it to pour my trailer. Sometimes I'll use it for just being on the road somewhere and need to charge my batteries. There's no sun out so I can't use the solar panels and whatnot, so that goes with me pretty much everywhere you can see it's kind of scuffed up and whatnot. It's
because it rides in the back of my truck all the time. Gas generators, however, create many physical environmental issues, including pollution from the fumes and sound, and inconveniences of storing gasoline and maintenance because if the gasoline gets too old in this thing, it doesn't run correctly. Sometimes it won't even start. And of course you can't use this indoors, this solar generator battery pack.
Of course we'll be able to use indoors indoors of a tent maybe if you're camping, if you're sleeping in the back of your truck, you're sleeping in your van or something like that. You would have to set this outside to run it, charging station, charging batteries, maybe even a heat or
something like that. This one you don't have to do that with. As a powerful twenty solar generator our station, a Delta two max solves these issues, achieving the same results as a gas generator in the same size, which are these two right here. This was sent to me by Eco Flows, so a special shout out in a thanks to them for sending me this power station. I'm gonna go around it real quick and show you what all it
has. So that's the front of it right here. We power it on by pressing this button, power the screen off and on, same kind of standard screen as a lot of the generators have. This is a USBC a hundred watt port right here, and it was two of the USBC one hundred watt ports, two USBAS and two USBA three point zero fast charging. It also has Bluetooth pairing. I haven't tried to pair it to my Bluetooth yet, but do that here in a minute. It is stackable, so I've
got a second battery attached to it right now. As you can see, you can put a third battery on it as well. It's got these very beefy proprietary plugs and cables that allow you to add up to two batteries,
thus extending the life of the main battle. Both of these batteries internally are two thousand, forty eight watt hours, so combining them together you get a four thousand, ninety six that's it if I can math today, so you can see right there, if I can get close enough to it, capacity is forty ams two thousand watt hours forty MP hour battery rechargeable lithium ion battery pack is two thousand. You could add another two thousand to it, thus
making it about sixty one hundred or so sixty two hundred wat hour. It's got a really convenient storage beIN in the top of it here. The second battery is just a battery, doesn't have all the ports or whatnot on it. And I'll show you the back of it here in a second. And of course instead of running it with gasoline when you're out during the day,
you can plug your solar panel into it and solar charge control it. It's got a built in MPP charge controller and will solar charge this battery which charges the other two batteries. Don't You only have to have one port in it. Let's look at the back of it real quick, all right. This is the back of it here. Light shine on it because it's in the
shade of the patio right now. Ecoflow claims this is the world's fastest recharging speed acplus solar dual charge in zero to eight percent and only forty three minutes, four times faster than the industry standard. These are your PV one PV two, so you can plug in up to two solar panels into it. Of course, you can charge it from home ac of course, if you're out in the woods, camping whatnot, you're not going to have this available to you. But if you have shore power or something part of the day
or whatever, you can always use that. Charge it up before you leave for your camping trip on your house energy. This is the twelve volt out with the standard cigarette lighter adapter plug there and two round modular ports there. You can turn those off and on by hitting those buttons there. So that's the back, but you can see that the back of the extra battery itself doesn't have any of that. So all of the ports are on the main
battery and the extra battery. Up to two extra batteries. I only have one right now, but I can of course added second one to it. I probably will go buy that myself. Actually, I'd like to have six thousand watts of battery power without the fumes and the noise of the generator. ECO claims there is a ten year lifespan on these two kilowatt LFP batteries and
that they're lighter than other LP batteries on the market. This Delta Max two is a brand new version that was just released in May of twenty twenty three, and they have a sale running for five percent off from May twenty fifth to Dune twenty fives. Check the link in the description blow you can use the coupon code of ham Radio five to save five percent off of this battery station and several other accessories that go with it. If you're looking for something
that is quieter use no fuel than a gasoline power generator. I'm not going to replace my gas generator with this. When I'm going to have this as another option, I'll still keep the gas power generator in the trouble, but I will have this as an option too. And my own personal preference is to take this out to a PODA and plug my kPa five hundred into it for a five hundred WAT amplifier on a park's in the air activation. I want to see how long that thing will last. Of course, you're not
gonna have to worry about the noise. We're always having it feel day. We're always running generators out at the Hunting Lease, and we're always having a problem with RFI that generator that gasoline power generator does produce R five. Now, my tests in the past of other solar generators and power stations have also produced RFI. However, it's probably going to be it might be a wash.
I don't know because the kPa five hundred amplifier that I have is one hundred and ten vold AC powered, so I'm going to have to use the inverter that's built into the battery pack to the power station to charge it. But it'll be an interesting experiment to see. I have used that one when we were at Outer Banks a couple of years ago. We had the kPa five attached to the hexpan with the seventy three hundred and we use that generator.
We got about five hundred and fifty wots out of it on single sideband. It worked great. So I'm very much looking forward to trying this one, seeing how long it lasts, see how much quieter it is because you don't have generator hum in the background. Might be some RFI that's going to be a good experiment to test, but definitely won't have that generator hum in the background. Do you have to worry about powering it with with gasoline?
Oh? My talking points are blowing, and I can set out the solar panel if it's a nice day outside, and bring in power to this at the same time that I'm using it. So look for another video on that soon. Special thanks and shout out once again to Ecoflow for sending me this system. Let me know in the comments BLOW what type of tests and other
follow up videos you would like to see on this one. And check the link in the description BLOW for the five percent discount code that lasts until June twenty fifth of twenty twenty three, seventy three
