Thank you for sharing this. I had no idea that Eciflow made this. The smart generator + power bank is a fully productized version of a system that I was planning to build for the off-grid cabin that I want to build some day. I'm sure it isn't cheap, but compared to the cost and time I'd have to invest to build something like it myself, the price will probably be worth it. Keep up the great work.

If you are moving most days your truck alternator can charge a large lithium battery bank at 100+amps per hour of driving. You can retire (or keep as backup) the generator and the gas cans and whole process of trying to keep your batteries charged while parked with a noisy gen. You just need to confirm your alternator and wiring is up to spec and add a Precision Circuits Lithium Battery Isolation Manager to properly charge the battery bank without overheating your alternator.
@maxmeister747

But if you are not moving most days or your alternator only does 60amps like in my t3 and you are relying almost exclusively on solar then a generator is useful. But yes, people underestimate the charging ability of their vehicles and what they can do with a big lithium battery and inverter.

Since it only runs for a short time it should last for years. Does the last 20% of the charge cycle (80-100) slow down? To minimize runtime and maximize battery life perhaps charge 30-80%, and allow the solar to do the charging above 80%?

Thanks! Do you have the option to not run at full throttle when using the dc charging? I know it would take longer to charge but I would prefer to have the lower noise level.

If you basically move each day, it would be better to use a DC-DC charger via your truck using either a heavy duty alternator or a second alternator. I have a converted Ford Transit with a built-in 4KW gas-powered generator. It only charges a max of 16 Amps for my LFP batteries. The DC-DC charging runs my engine at idle, is quiet and sips gas and charges at 48 amps. Two disadvantages to this are, it won't run my furnace, it won't run my A/C unit and it isn't particularly good to idle engines. I supplement the charging with solar panels. My batteries DO run my furnace/water heater. I never use the gas generator, the microwave and only use A/C while plugged in. Something to consider.

And usually don't go to town but once a month. I'm working with technical support My next trip to town they want me to check the firmware and they think it's the battery. Anybody else have any solutions I could try .LP gas only. I truly want this generator to run and charge my River 2 my Delta 2 my Delta Max So that I don't have to keep chasing the sun with my two eco-flow foldable solar panels.

I am pretty disappointed that the ecoflow system is so proprietary. I like my charger, inverter and batteries separate for space reasons and modularity. With my inability to afford ecoflow batteries and with this generator being the only dual fuel generator for sale in my country it is disappointing. I wish it could just have a 12v dc-dc charger instead of this fast charging thing so you could plug in an anderson connector and set what battery you have and the current you want to draw instead of having to go to ac power and then back to dc with a charger.
