Also looks like Home Depot brought the companion to this deal back which is the Delta 2+Delta max for 3KWH total for $1450~. 2 KWH of it is not LFP, but at least for my use case that's fine. The extra battery will be used basically only in emergencies while the main battery get's cycled a lot. $1450+tax-tax credit should put cost net about the same as the OP.

From what I can tell, it needs to be installed with the dwelling, so I suspect simply plugging it in doesn't count as "installed" but rather a permanent install such as the home backup kit would also be required to take advantage of the tax credit.
I'm 80% confident that you cannot just buy the portable battery to get a tax credit without some type of hardwired installation associated with a property address.
For reference, to claim the credit its Form 5695:

Agreed, though it's worth noting anyone getting a 2KWH system should almost certainly go ahead and buy a 3rd KWH whether another stand alone battery, hot swap whatever. There is a income tax credit of 30% you can get on portable battery setups like this that kicks in at 3KWHs. Which basically means net cost of a 3kWH system is almost the same as a 2 KWH system after the tax credit.

The charge controller isnt likely useful for this application, but I'd like to have it for the purposes of charging a standalone battery/DC fan in the future.

The built-in Maverick inverter is limited to 400 watts, so being able to limit current draw on the Ecoflow is required. (I am toying with the idea of adding a 1500 watt inverter system.) Once I get the Delta 2+battery, I will test out this as an alternative to generators or solar as a way of feeding the Delta in a simulated power-out situation.
(Side note: If I add a 1500 watt inverter (as I've seen done in some YouTube videos), an alternative to the above would be to have both this system (i.e. 1500 watts from Hybrid) AND the Delta 2 (1800 watt)) concurrently for different appliances, e.g. multiple refrigerators, freezers, my wood stove fan, boiler power, etc. )

*correction*
Please refer to your tax person to confirm, but it seems like there is a clarification that it can apply to renters.
