Say hello to the latest family member.....
EF Delta2 Max
The bigger brother to the Delta2.
2400w/3100w and 2048wh
Now with twin DC inputs and 2400w mains charge.
Plus EF have just Beta released a DC-DC charger that can charge up to 800w from the engine bay.... nice !! (Looks like it will work with all Delta units) ( Basically a EF OEM version of the 12-48v step up bost converter, charging the internal 48v battery direct from the side expansion port)
It's a one stop portable EHU shop, where as the Delta2 was a bit short in capacity at 1024wh, allowing 80% of that. It was a bit to short for a weekend.
The Delta2 MAX now doubles the capacity to 2048wh and bumps the inverter size a bit too....
Roll on the next camp out for a test....
With twin DC inputs for solar or dc-dc up to 1000w this should allow me to run my Chico 700w heater in the van off grid, as well as the kettle, coffee machine, fridges etc etc..... if if I run out of juice a quick plug in to EHU will see me charging at 10A from the post or up to 2400w.... Now that's FAST!
Just a few pics for now.

There is one bigger, the delta pro, but the size is just too big.
It's like the three little bears...
The Delta2 just to small.?
The delta pro too big?
Let's see if their Delta2 Max is just right.

This will be portable, dropped in the van when needed.
I'll be using a pair of XT 60i to SB50 Anderson connectors for the DC charge..... Connected to a 230ah lithium under the seat. That will have a 50A dc-dc engine bay charger - eventually.
...
Remember that the unit limits the 12v car charge to 100w or 8A to stop the socket melting.
They are using the newer orange XT60i connector that has a third pin that tell the unit the max charge rate.
So the 12v socket cable is limited to 100w.
But the solar/PV link cable is set to allow up to 500w by allowing higher voltages
