I'm looking at Alt-Charger+D2M, OOD $874 2yr warranty vs TEMU $933 after $105 coupon 5yr warranty any other options where to pick? TIA
Fair warning: Delta 2 is a pretty loud unit. Not suitable for use in an human-occupied room.
Delta 2 max is apparently significantly quieter running. Delta 3 Plus is the best though, practically silent at all times with its 1x 120mm fan (vs 3x 60mm of the prior gen)

Thanks. Nice to see, but that's crazy markup for a cable. I previously purchased alternator charger at $200 + tax. I may just modify existing cable with XT-60 plug.
Yeah, I'm not paying that much for such cable either. Probably gonna wait for it to be on sale, or available on Costco Next.
It's a near certainty the alt charger needs whatever kind of modification their XT60 adapter has, in order for it to output to plain XT60.

The vendor lock-in by EcoFlow is just insane on this equipment and the cabling. They are so aggressive with using proprietary cabling, communications, and designs to charge high margins. They also actively work to update firmware and software to disable workarounds people find. The upcoming subscription service for app features also isn't a good sign.
If I recall correctly, members of some forums have begun the process of reverse engineering some of their protocols - a welcome step.
Hopefully some other manufacturers step in with open, unrestricted devices and cables. Pecron's battery is a good step, but there's also others that are just enabling the use of simple off-the-shelf expansion batteries with standard cables
