Good deal, and if you're in the market right now, seems like a pretty good option. but fwiw, these power stations are going to get a lot cheaper in the next few years. Lithium and other battery materials are getting cheaper and greater adoption will reduce costs of the other components. https://www.goldmansachs.com/inte...lling.html
I bought a couple power stations (total of about 2.5kwh) a few years back (and a few solar panels) that manage fine for keeping the fridge going through power outages for fires and storms. (F$&@ PG&E!) But with the prices going down, my next solution will be a lot more robust.
When you get this, do some exhaustive testing. I had to RMA a first unit because it would have weird errors after one power cycle, thankfully the ebay support through the Ecoflow storefront was responsive.
Tempted to get another so I can get this on a voltage hub and tie that for even more coverage for home backup!
If you daisy chain them, there's efficiency losses that wouldn't be present if you used a true extra battery. Again, I don't understand why someone would want to do this as the DP costs more than the DP EB.

To expand solar input and redundancy. Already had one failure and taken over a month for replacement.

In that case, you can't use the delta pro as an "extra battery" as the delta pro cannot have input from both ac and dc at the same time. In the daisy chain example you would be inputting ac into the "host" DP.

Thanks. Regd cost difference, DP is just about $300 more. But makes no sense since PV input cannot be leveraged.
