This device connects to a vehicle electrical system (the alternator) and cranks out a higher power output than the normal vehicle wiring would be capable of.

It is useful to charge power centers like the Ecoflow units faster than the typical 100W or so you'd get from a cigarette lighter plug style adapter you find in most vehicles (or RVs).

Ok. Got it.

>you can use this to quick charge using your vehicle/RV charging system

Wait, you've lost me.

>to charge an Ecoflow battery bank.

I'm sorry, I can charge the thing I am trying to charge by using the thing I am trying to charge to charge itself?

Bought this on Prime Day plus Delta 2 for total $650. Have everything setup and ready for next hurricane power outage. A few things to share:

Don't have to connect directly to starter battery. But better be sure wherever you connect this to can handle 800W+. I connected this to the battery service terminal under the hood. Starter battery is under the trunk floor in the back. There's a 175A fuse inline to service terminal so more than enough amperage to handle this. The included 16ft cable is 6AWG with 125A fuse. Ring terminals are M8 size.
Normal starter battery voltage is <13V. Once engine starts, alternator ups that voltage to >13V. Once engine shuts off, voltage drops back to <13V. Default setting on this would prevent drawing any power from your battery while engine is off. Once engine starts, this automatically begins charging your power station. Once engine shuts off, this automatically stops drawing power to keep your battery from getting drained. This start/shutoff voltage setting can be customized in the app but default worked for me out of the box.
In case your starter battery is drained and cannot start the car, this can go in reverse and use your power station to charge your starter battery. This is done with just a simple tap in the app.
On EV or certain hybrids with no alternators, this still works (and better IMO). The car uses DC-DC converter to reduce 400/800V traction battery down to operate 12V devices and to charge the starter battery. This is also a DC-DC converter that increases 12V to 60V to charge your power station. This hardly puts strain on the car's DC-DC converter as long as it can handle additional 800W+ load. You can always lower from 800W draw from this in the app by swiping left or right.
This can work on non-EcoFlow power stations via solar input at 60V/500W max, provided you DIY your own cable (supposedly official EF cable is on the way): https://youtube.com/shorts/uVBrNY...I80vRe-bdV

is this more advantageous than a DC-DC charger like from Renogy that I have but have not installed like this to charge auxiliary battery / [ or portable battery station w/ wire adapters ?]. Or is this a different type of product entirely?

More capable overall, and not just in terms of peak power. Ecoflow units like the D2 or new D3 are limited to 15A solar input (per port), so what you linked would only be able to pump about 200W into a Delta 2

EF alt charger can be used with 12-24V LFP batteries, AND reverse charge them - e.g. take a D2's solar input and charge some cheap LFP batteries as expanded storage - the new D3 with up to 1000W input is even better for such use.

Not specifically required.
I keep it so I can use my car engine instead of a generator to charge batteries, like for hurricane power outage, camping, etc.
But you can route cables for a permanent install so you can drive and charge at the same time.
so you have this product and have engine idling and charging your batteries?

Thank you, I had to also purchase the adapter for the Delta Pro, which was about 70, so this code discounted 13.40 on my order

Best use I can think of is maybe use your car like a generator when in need of power by connecting this to the car and a ecflow battery and the battery to power fridge or whatever.

Once your EcoFlow battery bank is charged, it has the capability of charging your vehicle battery in the event that it runs down.

The people who bought this at much higher prices are probably getting a horrible feeling in the stomachs!

Beautiful deal with extra 5% off. I think this could be price mistake as I see this price is for bundle when buy together with new delta 3. However, $199 is the price it should've been
