For in home use or camping, bare batteries aren't going to cut it.
LiFePO4 100 ah batteries weigh less than 25 pounds so they are easy to bring camping. I don't know why you think they wouldn't cut it. They take up less space than the ecoflow extra battery for one with the same watt hours.
Also, what about needing to grab and go in an emergency?
Couldn't find IPX ratings for this EcoFlow Delta 2 extra battery (they'd probably advertise that if they had it) or my batteries, but like I said they are used for trolling motors all the time so they're pretty good around water.
I don't even know how to respond to "people mucking around."

I'm guessing you haven't actually had to disassemble your setup in an emergency.
Might want to practice.

LiFePO4 batteries don't have the "go up in smoke" problem that other types of lithium batteries have anyway. They are much safer and won't spontaneously combust like that.

- assuming you use the DC/solar input on the Delta, it limits input to 8A unless you use an XT60i cable with third pin that ties third pin to negative at which point the current limit is 15A, the max is 600W
- input of 12V battery at 8A is 96W, at 15A is 180W, to reach max 600W input at 15A you need 33V or a standard 48V so you're left with using 2x12V batteries in series or a 48V battery to maximize input
- 600W is about 1/3 of the max output of the unit so if you are using the Delta at it's limit constantly, it will use up the internal battery first and then you're limited by the input of your extra battery; with the Delta extra battery it will balance both charging and power output between both batteries simultaneously and can be viewed from their phone app. If you're using your own battery you'll need a way to recharge them manually.
Note the Delta 2 and extra battery are 48V internally.
I have a Delta 2 with extra battery from the HD deal last year and it somehow ran low enough that it would no longer charge (happened even though it was hooked up to AC power input). I probably could have fixed by opening it up and manually charging the internal batteries but it was replaced with no hassle under warranty but the replacement is a refurb so even though it looks new, the battery capacity is now slightly less than the original extra battery I have.
I've experimented with using both my own 12V batteries with modded cables and solar panels and for ultimate convenience having the optional Delta extra battery can be worth it.
- the cable I linked is an XT60i to maximize charging from the extra battery. You can buy whatever voltage extra battery suits your other needs
- I have the Delta 3 Plus which provides two solar inputs, so I don't have to worry about wiring my batteries in series
- I think using the Delta at its limit continuously is a rare edge case, but something to consider if you have it. Most people need the large surge capacity for something like the fridge compressor, sump pit pump, to start a furnace blower motor, etc. The high use item cycles on for a bit, but is off more than it is on. In this scenario my extra batteries have more than enough time to catch up and keep the Delta charged.

Why not at home in the garage or basement - doesn't need to be pretty to switch over a single circuit
