Bluetti pump lower wattage but universal output port to multiple type of power stations and put less stress on the alternator for small car
Ecoflow need their own proprietary connector adapter and only work with Ecoflow unit.

With your setup you're losing converting to DC to AC to DC
As for the conversion loss... nowadays inverters have less than 10% loss, so combined no more than 20% loss. Even at 1000W charging it's no more than 200W of loss, negligible for a running engine.
- Many battery/inverter units will only take pure sine wave AC input. Most 12V inverters for cars do not output pure sine wave
- A typical AC inverter working on a cigarette socket will only provide up to ~100W output
- Ecoflow's alternator charger supports reverse charging. Not only can it pull power from 12-24V (up to ~30V) DC sources like cheaper LFP batteries, it can charge them, too
I have another DC-DC converter from Victron (12 to 24-30V) that can pull power from an alterator, but it's only one-way, and can't output as much to a Delta 2 as EF's alt charger can (~420W at best).

Again, the feature and specs are not even close. You only have one shot of buying this kind of equipment, then buy the right one. I am just sharing because this eTaker caught my attention and I am getting one before tariff bombs. It's really perfect for RV because of the bi-directional charging.
