Matter of fact, there are several options on how to fix it covered in this article. Read along until the end, and you will understand more about the problem and which option would be the best to fix it.
Common Problems of Ecoflow Delta
We have categorized the common problems of Ecoflow Delta into the following:
- Battery
- Charging issues
- Output overload
The common issues are properly detailed as you read on, as there are other series of issues associated with each of the aforementioned problems.
1. Battery Issues
The battery problem is a very common issue experienced by many owners using Ecoflow Delta.
The common issues you can experience when the battery of your EcoFlow Delta is malfunctioning are as follow:
Symptoms of Battery Issues
I. The Unit Won’t Turn On
Once you notice your battery generator does not come up after several attempts to switch it on, then the battery of your EcoFlow Delta probably has an issue.
However, it is possible the battery just went flat or it can’t function because the battery charge level is insufficient, and this is better than first feared.
Solution
Before jumping to a conclusion, the first thing to do when your unit won’t turn on is to charge it, then after some time, press the power button for about 5 seconds.
If it still doesn’t turn on after pressing the main power button, then you must call a professional to change the battery.
II. The Power Switches off Automatically
Another symptom of the battery issue here is that the unit will just go off automatically without you switching it off.
Again, the battery is responsible for this. Also, if the battery is weak, the unit will normally trip off automatically.
Solution
You shouldn’t panic when you experience this symptom. Once the battery of the unit hit zero, it automatically goes off.
Normally, the LCD screen on the unit will display an overheating protection icon, so you just have to wait for it to cool down before you recharge it.
In a situation where the battery is weak, it is only common for owners that have been using their unit for years.
Surely, the battery will wear over time, it is unavoidable. In this case, you will have to change the battery, you should take it to the manufacturer for a battery replacement.
Storage Care and Guidelines for Your Battery
- Store your EcoFlow Delta at an ambient temperature (20°C to 30°C) and ensure it doesn’t have contact with metal objects, water, and heat.
- Every three months, discharge your EcoFlow battery to 30% and charge it again to 60%, this will ensure long-term storage for your battery.
- For the safety of your battery, ensure you don’t store it at an ambient temperature beyond 45°C or below – 10°C over a long period.
Note: The temperature of the battery is displayed on the LCD screen of your unit
2. Charging Issues
Charging issues is another common problem you can experience using your EcoFlow Delta. This type of problem can be caused by various reasons.
Some of the causes of charging issues are:
- Low or high ambient temperature
- Low charging or current voltage
- Wrong cable or charging method
Symptoms of Charging Issues
I. Charging Won’t Progress
If you’re charging it from an outlet with low AC power, the charging won’t progress and in some cases, your unit battery may discharge.
The standard AC power required for EcoFlow delta is 220-240v and 1500watts.
Solution
You must connect your unit to an outlet below the above-mentioned AC power if you don’t want to experience charging problems with it.
Note: The outlets you can charge your unit from include: a car outlet, a wall outlet, a solar panel, and a gas generator.
II. Unit Not Charging to 100%
It is possible that after charging your unit from an outlet with standard AC power, your unit may still not charge properly and won’t charge to 100%.
Solution
The best thing to do in this situation is to do a state of charge calibration, this means you will fully discharge the battery and then recharge it again.
This will solve the problem. But if this still does not solve it, then you must call a professional to check it.
Note: The charging performance of your unit battery is related to the charging state of the battery.
Tips and Guidelines
- If your unit has a high ambient temperature, turn it off and stop charging, then allow the unit to cool down.
- If your unit has a low ambient temperature, you can either charge it at a higher ambient temperature between 0°C and 45°C
- If charging it from a solar panel doesn’t work, change the charging method, I.e car outlet, gas generator, or wall outlet.
3. Output Overloads
Output overload is another common problem with EcoFlow Delta, this type of problem can even damage your unit.
Output overload occurs when too much current passes through your unit cable. If the electric current that passes is more than what the unit cable can take, it can melt the cable, and there is a risk it can lead to a fire outbreak.
Symptoms of Output Overloads
AC Overload:
AC overload simply means a load on the AC output of your EcoFlow Delta is larger than its capacity.
Normally, an AC icon will display on the LCD screen of your EcoFlow Delta once it detects such load on its output.
Solution
Once your EcoFlow indicates an AC output overload, first check to confirm if the other devices connected to the unit meet the required power range of your EcoFlow Delta.
If the equipment is larger than the capacity of what the unit can carry, then this is the reason for the overload. Disconnect the equipment(s) immediately after you confirm this.
Note: You can confirm the capacity of your EcoFlow Delta from the manual book.
DC Overload:
DC overload occurs when the cable connected to other output outlets (I.e car outlet) is overloaded. This can happen because the output of the DC USB cable is overloaded or the cable is faulty.
Solution
The USB icon and Icon overload will both display on the screen, and once this happens, you must confirm if the current outlet is within 8A.
Note: A high current will lead to an overload and it will burn the cable connected to the unit.
Wrapping Up
You must take precautions when dealing with your EcoFlow Delta generator, because as powerful as this appliance is, it can easily get damaged when you don’t properly maintain it.
Ensure you follow the guidelines closely in this article and don’t hesitate to call a professional or take it to the manufacturers for inspection in case you still can’t solve the problem after following the provided solutions.
