Deal Details
Great price for a delta max 1600 with expanding capabilites. can handle 2000 watts and surge to 5000w. also has the ability to add two extra max batteries bringing this capability up to approx 5600 watts.

This is a refurb with a 2 yr ebay warranty.

And before the critics chime in, it is Li-on but great for emergency infrequent use as a home power backup source for major appliances.

It boggles my mind why they call this a generator. It doesn't create power it only stores.

Missing the word "not" before Li-on

It does if you connect to solar panels

Sure, that is true. But doesn't make it a generator.

Except it IS Li-ion, its not LiFePo4.
For occasional backup or portable use, Li-ion is the way to go.
For frequent use, LiFePo4.

Arguably the solar panels are generating the power, not the battery.

ECOFLOW calls these portable power stations. If they are sold as the solar panel + portable power station, then they call them solar generators. They just add the word generator to many of their listings on eBay listings to get more hits.

I see these posted but I don't really get the use case. It's basically a UPS for your fridge and maybe a couple other things you could plug in? Doesn't seem all that useful.

edit - maybe good for camping?

These shouldn't be left plugged in like a UPS, not great for the batteries and too bulky.

The two main uses are emergency backup power, and off grid use (camping).

The first use is the main reason I bought mine. Wildfires, high wind events, etc PG&E likes to turn off the power for undisclosed amounts of time. Obviously, I have a generator suitable to run the whole house, but it's not a good idea to run it constantly just to keep the fridge cold, especially when roads are shut down and gas supply is dwindling. Instead, my ecoflow can run my fridge and internet (only communication where i live) for 28hrs on one charge. Run the gen for 1.5hrs and I'm good for another day. I also have 250w worth of solar panels to keep it topped off for those major outages.

Even for shorter outages, I'll plug the TV and fridge into it so I don't have to lug out the generator for a short 6hr outage.

Also a plus for camping, running lights around the campsite or when we have older family members with us to run small appliances they just can't live without.

These aren't for everyone if you don't have a use case, but if you do have a use case, they are great. Mine has almost paid for itself in gas savings alone, plus the PG&E rebate I got on it too ($500 rebate.)
