Charging Problems
One of the main advantages of the Ecoflow DELTA Mini is its fast charging speed. It can charge from 0% to 80% in just one hour, and from 0% to 100% in less than two hours. However, sometimes you may encounter some issues with charging your DELTA Mini, such as:
- The DELTA Mini does not charge from a wall outlet
- The DELTA Mini does not charge from a car outlet
- The DELTA Mini does not charge from a solar panel
- The DELTA Mini does not charge to 100%
Here are some possible solutions for each of these problems:
The DELTA Mini does not charge from a wall outlet
- Make sure the AC input cable is securely plugged into the DELTA Mini and the wall outlet.
- Make sure the wall outlet is working by plugging in another device.
- Make sure the AC input switch on the DELTA Mini is turned on.
- Check the LCD screen for any error messages or indicators.
- If none of these steps work, contact Ecoflow customer support.
The DELTA Mini does not charge from a car outlet
- Make sure your vehicle’s engine is on when trying to charge the DELTA Mini.
- Make sure the car outlet cable is securely plugged into the DELTA Mini and the car outlet.
- Make sure the car outlet is working by plugging in another device.
- Check the LCD screen for any error messages or indicators.
- If none of these steps work, contact Ecoflow customer support.
The DELTA Mini does not charge from a solar panel
- Make sure the solar panel cable is securely plugged into the DELTA Mini and the solar panel.
- Make sure the solar panel is facing the sun and has no obstructions or shadows.
- Make sure the solar panel voltage is between 10V and 75V, and the current is less than 10A.
- Check the LCD screen for any error messages or indicators.
- If none of these steps work, contact Ecoflow customer support.
The DELTA Mini does not charge to 100%
- You can calibrate the state of charge (SoC) by fully discharging and recharging the battery.
- For long-term storage, discharge the battery to 30% and charge it to 85% every three months.
- Avoid storing the DELTA Mini above 45°C (113°F) or below −10°C (−14°F) for extended periods.
Output Problems
Another great feature of the Ecoflow DELTA Mini is its high output power. It can power anything that’s up to 1400W and that doesn’t peak above 2100W. It also has an X-Boost mode that allows it to power devices that are up to 2200W for certain devices that are less sensitive to power quality. However, sometimes you may encounter some issues with powering your devices and appliances, such as:
- The DELTA Mini does not power anything
- The DELTA Mini shuts down or beeps when powering something
- The DELTA Mini shows an overload protection indicator
Here are some possible solutions for each of these problems:
The DELTA Mini does not power anything
- If you’re trying to power something through DC or AC output, check that the ON/OFF buttons for DC and AC are on.
- If a device is drawing less than one watt from the DELTA Mini, it won’t show up on the LCD screen even though power is going to it.
- Try plugging in another device to see if it works.
The DELTA Mini shuts down or beeps when powering something
- Check if the device you’re trying to power is compatible with the DELTA Mini. Some devices may have a high startup surge that exceeds the DELTA Mini’s capacity.
- Check if there are any other devices connected to the DELTA Mini that may be drawing too much power. Reduce the load by unplugging some devices or switching them off.
- Check if the ambient temperature is too high or too low. The optimal operating temperature for the DELTA Mini is between 20°C (68°F) and 30°C (86°F).
The DELTA Mini shows an overload protection indicator
- This means that one or more devices are trying to pull more than 1400W (or 2100W during a surge) from the DELTA Mini. This can damage both the device and the power station.
- Unplug all devices from the DELTA Mini immediately and turn off both DC and AC switches.
- Wait for a few minutes until the indicator disappears and then turn on both switches again.
- Plug in your devices one by one and check the LCD screen for the power consumption. Do not exceed the DELTA Mini’s capacity.
