ECOFLOW Wave 2 Battery A/C Viewer Q&A | 40% Off Anniversary Sale

The Professor answers viewer questions about the Ecoflow Wave 2 solar & battery powered air conditioner / heat pump and announces their “Now or Never” 40% off sale includes a FREE GIFT!

One short year ago, Ecoflow released their Wave 2 portable battery powered heat pump that does both heating and air conditioning, to major fanfare. Needless to say, it was a huge hit. On its anniversary, Ecoflow is offering this popular product at a major discount, calling it their “Now or Never” sale with up to 40% off the Wave 2. They are even throwing in a free window vent kit for use in any vehicle.

Of course, I did my own comprehensive review of the Wave 2 that included a separate follow up video in hopes of answering all the burning questions. Apparently, there are still a lot of folks confused about how to use this product. In this brief video, I’m going to answer those questions once and for all in case you’re still on the fence about getting this product.

First, if you have no idea what the Wave 2 is or you’re never watched my full review of this product, I encourage you to go watch that review. I’ll pin it up here on screen and in the description of this video.

Now, let’s go over something very important. The Wave 2 can be purchased with or without its own snap on modular add on battery.

• If you purchase it without this battery, there are only two ways to power it. Either with the included AC power cable (which can plug into any 120v AC power source including a generator), or with another Ecoflow power station or Ecoflow extra battery (BTW they call their add on batteries “extra” batteries in case you don’t know). So if you already own an Ecoflow power station, or plan to buy the Wave 2 in a bundle with an Ecoflow power station, you really don’t need the Wave 2 add on battery. This only applies to Ecoflow products that have an external battery port like the Delta Pro, Delta 2 Max, Delta 2, and all of their “extra” add on batteries. With these Ecoflow products you can actually directly DC power the Wave 2 which is a lot more efficient than running it from AC power. I demonstrate this in my original review.
• So why would you buy the Wave 2 with the add on battery? Because it opens up a whole world of external charging options.
  • First, getting the battery lets you solar charge the Wave 2 directly with up to 400w of solar using the included XT60 charging cable.
  • Second, you can now run the Wave 2 directly off of ANY 12-60v source up to 13A with a 400w limit. When I say ANY source I mean everything from a 12v car battery to a 48v server rack battery to any brand power station with a 12-60v DC output. This also means you can use any DC to DC charger including Ecoflow’s own Alternator Charger or any competing brand’s model.
  • I must have had over 100 questions asking me if the Wave 2 can be run off a competing brand’s power station. The answer is a big fat YES. You can run it from any AC inverter that’s at least 800w, or you can run it from any DC source up to 60v IF and only IF you buy the add on battery with it.
  • The only thing you may have to do in order to run it from alternate DC sources such as a battery, is to either cut the MC4 ends of the included cable (or simply buy an XT60 pigtail on Amazon) to wire it directly to whatever DC source you’re trying to use. It’s really that simple.
  • Okay, so I think I beat that horse dead, so let’s move on to the next most asked solar questions.

That is, how to solar charge the Wave 2, how long does it take, and what kind of solar panel should I use?

• First, charging the Wave 2 is dead simple as long as you purchased it with the add on battery. You simply plug in the included XT60 to MC4 cable then hook any solar panel up to 500w directly into it. If you are using 100w or 200w panels you can hook two or three of them into it in series as long as the total voltage (or Voc on the panel) when added up doesn’t exceed 60v. You can also run multiple panels in parallel up to 13A using Y branch adapters sold separately at gohobo.io/adapters.
• As for how long it takes to charge with solar, I recorded this time lapse last May charging a dead Wave 2 battery up to full using a single 450w solar panel. [clip]
• As for what solar panel to get, that’s up to you. Ecoflow does have a fantastic 400w panel and a cool 220w bi facial panel. If you’re on a budget, I have some alternates you can check out at my website gohobo.io/solar
