Nice one Dren.
Thankyou :ok_hand:

I also went for eco flow.

The DJI stuff seems to have lots of limitations on what can be charged and needs lots of updates.

Mine just works

Bought mine really to use in caravan as it’s equivalent to a 20Ah leisure battery, but with added benefits of not needing cables running around, it’s all compacted into one unit, charges drone batteries and phones and still has power to run the caravan lights.

Another :white_check_mark: from a long time EcoFlow owner over here :raised_back_of_hand:t2:

We also regularly give EcoFlow power stations away on our competitions, rather than DJI ones :blush:

Thanks for your reply.
What limitations do you mean as I’m trying to understand the differences so i dont buy the wrong kit.
Cheers Paul

Everything can be powered from it.

However if you have compatible drones and the required cables (£19 each) you can power the drone faster.

It is also very quiet.

Annoyingly however the price over here is much more than in the USA, which is discounted by 40% at the moment.

Typical, that we get shafted on price.

I do like the fast charge function for drones, plus there’s the usb c sockets that are 140w.

57

Do you think that was a marketing ploy to try and stop people buying EcoFlow power stations during the Amazon Prime day sales?

58

Possibly.

Amazon do not sell it over here. So limited competition from that marketplace

59

Or they haven’t sold that many and are worried about the possible ban.

I bought mine direct from ecoflow, recently bought the portable 110w solar panels direct. Recent test using our electrical coolbox, it was drawing 51w and powerpack with solar panels in direct sunlight it was being trickle charged with around 63w Suitably impressed that coolbox could run for over 8hrs

62

You should get a lot more than that out of the eco panels in direct sunlight

I regularly get 150 from the 160’s in the northern sun
