Portable Generator Charge Electric Car

Have been using the eco flow river pro for a little over a week. I live off grid and have been using a generator for all my electric needs. Everyday I charge the eco flow river pro with my electric car battery and an inverter in just over an hour. I then charge all my electronics and use my desktop computer for over five hours. Still have enough power in the evening to run lights in the cabin. I can't wait to get my solar hooked up to charge that way and I'll be adding the extra battery soon. This is doing way better then I was expecting.... no more generator except for the air conditioning unit.....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a portable back up generator. This device is great for camping or on the go in your car for emergencies. It works as its supposed to however the battery life is not good for large items. Use for charging phones and small devices

Ability to charge in car and more portable.than stock

We have been using the Delta everyday in our small travel trailer for 4months now and it is great. We can run our entire camper plugged into this beast, although it isn't the best way to do it. We typically use it to power our fridge and all portable devices. It will do so for about 2 days without recharging, but recharging is why this battery generator is special. When we are hooked up to shore power it simply charges from the camper, but when we are boondocking we can charge this so many ways. Mostly we use a portable solar panel or our car if we are driving. Sometimes we take it into the laundromat and charge it while we do laundry, or take into a library and charge it while we catch up online. It charges fast, it's quiet and much better for the environment than using a generator. It can run our microwave toaster oven, water boiler and even our 5000 BTU air conditioning(although it can only do that for about 1.5 hours). Overall very impressive!

I have been looking for a while for a good portable generator with out gas. I have been looking at a lot of these and when the delta pro came out with the bigger outlet, that is what sold it for me. It is very easy to set up and to get the app and have all the info on it. Very easy to plug stuff in and have it work. The info on charging and the uses are great. with having freezers and extra fridges with food, its a must. I am not a preper, but this thing is a must if you have extra appliances that need to run when power is out. sump pumps in storm is a key if you have a basement. It can even charge your Tesla a little bit if needed. Sometimes you just need 5 to 10 miles to get to a charger and this back up gives piece of mind. Its expensive, but worth it. Lots of cycles in the batteries and the life seems to be long. It stores charge for a good while as well. Love the fact that is fully charges in 2 hours with the AC cord. So far I am a big fan of this unit.

The Smart Generator Adaptor (SGA) works!! The SGA allows a DC to DC Fast Charge between the Delta Pro 3 (DP3) and the Smart Generator (SG). With the SGA the integration of the SG and the DP3 is complete. With automations and or App settings the SG will auto start to charge the DP3. I especially like the “smart functions” of the generator through the SGA that controls the generator RPM. As the unit approaches the designated SoC the generator begins throttling back to cool the generator before turning itself off when the DP3 reaches the designated charge level. Well worth the investment!

I purchased the river pro to run a 12 volt diesel heater for my tent, at first i purchased a jacket 1000 and it wouldn't even turn the heater on, this river pro is 100% better in my experience than the jackery was. I ran the heater for 10 hours, charged my phone, Chromebook and ran a USB light in my tent and only used 40% of it's power, i then charged it with electric plug in back to 100% in 40 minutes, i also purchased the 160 watt solor panel, haven't used it yet, but i can assume if it's as good as the generator is i will have no problems running a week or more off of just the generator. I really like the option of getting a additional batter that connects to the generator, but unless your running a fridge or electric cooler i can't see a reason, yet, that i need it.. love this generator!!!

The Goal Zero Nomad 20 is a great portable solar panel. I haven't given it a lot of use yet, but already it works as intended. I am able to charge my phone off it when the sky is overcast. In direct sunlight, it charges faster. I was also able to charge a usb battery pack, that doubles as a car jump starter, while out camping where there was no electricity. This was handy, considering I drained my car battery running a waffle maker. Downsides? it doesn't come with a carrying strap, though it isn't hard to add one.

Better than factory, will also charge in car.

Allows me to charge more batteries at once. Allows me to charge my batteries in the car.
