Solar power station test

[Jerrytball]

No doubling. Level 1 is 120V going into the cars charger which connects to the high voltage batteries to charge them. Voltage times the current is the power in watts that is going into the charger. Charger has some losses so the wattage to the batteries will be a little less.

So the display picture I had in there that’s the voltage coming out of the wall socket to charge the generator back up. I just didn’t realize that the wall socket put out 1600 W of power. Thanks

Yes, the 1632 Watts is 120 Volts at 13.6 Amps.
For comparison my Level 2 charger is 240Volt at 40 Amps so 9600 Watts.

I’m guessing my L2 same just charged 39% to 81 in 4 hours?

Depends on what current it is set for, Mine is programmed for 40A.

I have the Ford one not the one that comes with the car but the expensive one and I believe it’s anywhere from 48 to 60, but I don’t know if I could set it for anything. I’m not sure where to look.?

The Ford charger is supposed to be 48 A and I know they installed a 60 amp breaker

EcoFlow products are great (and addicting). I can run the house for 10 hours, not being conservative at all.

Before unplugging, you can see the total energy that went into the vehicle. Divide by time and you will see the charge rate.

Or, look while it is charging.

48 x 240 x 93% (7% loss) = 10,700 watts, 10.7kW.
40 would be ______

81 - 39% = 42%. 91kW battery, so roughly 38kW. Divide by 4 (I suspect it is slightly less than 4) and that is 9.6. Therefore, it has to be 48amps, because 40 would be ____.

I think every time I look at it charging it’s 10 kW?I think every time I look at it charging it’s 10 kW

So I guess the 9.6 they’re rounding it up to 10?

Wow nice I just don’t have the space well I could take up the whole hallway. Keep the stuff in a spare bedroom. The nice thing is they’re sending me that transfer panel which list for like $900 but I don’t have like an inch space apart from my main breaker in the house so I’m not sure if I’m gonna even be able to put that in, I don’t know what some guy said he saw $15,000 one time I’m like 15,000 that’s ridiculous. You could get a Generac put in outside for Ten!

That's after unplugged.

46% of 91kW = 41.86kW approximately (percentages aren't perfectly accurate).

41.86/3.88 hours = 10.8

Therefore, you are set to 48amps.

Ok thanks Rick

Too bad there isn't a way you could connect the DC terminals from the battery pack direct to the DCFC terminals on the car. Probably wasting a lot of energy converting DC->AC at your battery pack, then back from AC->DC in the on-board vehicle charger.

If only we had the same two-way charge the F-150 supports you wouldn't even need this.

The battery in the EcoFlow is probably no where near the 400v the battery in the Mach E is. It is probably 12-24v only. So it will require a step up converter to be of any use anyway.
