Key Points

Key Takeaways

  • 1

    Energy Independence

  • 2

    LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate): Conventional ternary lithium-ion reached end of life in 500 cycles, but iron phosphate lasts 3000 cycles (80% even if used daily for 10 years). Safety is overwhelmingly high and fire risk is low.

  • 3

    EcoFlow DELTA 2: If deciding in 1 second, this is it. AC charging is explosive speed (80% in 50 minutes), app UI is god, and capacity can be doubled with extra battery. Completed ecosystem.

  • 4

    Jackery Explorer 1000 v2: Absolute king of outdoor. Handle can be folded, improving storage. Orange design is highly visible and easy to find in emergency.

  • 5

    Solar Charging: If connecting solar panel, create electricity infinitely without fuel (gasoline). If sunny, can keep refrigerator running forever.

Introduction: Beyond Outlet

Do you take it for granted that electricity comes from wall outlet? Moment that supply stops, living standard of modern people retreats to Edo period. Smartphone becomes just board, meat in refrigerator starts to rot.

Make your own electricity. That is construction of “Grid B (Second Power Grid)“.

1. The Smart Power: EcoFlow DELTA 2

Specs, price, software. All balances are most excellent. Especially “X-Stream” charging technology is abnormal. Full charge in 1 hour from empty state. Even if charging after seeing news “Typhoon is coming”, it is in time.

EcoFlow DELTA 2

Output 1500W (Surge 2250W). Hair dryer and microwave also work. Supports pass-through charging, so it can be used as simple UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), protecting power supply of desktop PC.

App Control

Connects to smartphone via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Can see “How many watts are coming in from solar panel now” and “How many hours until empty” at hand. ON/OFF of output port can also be remotely controlled.

2. The Outdoor Icon: Jackery Explorer 1000 v2

Best selling brand in world. Became v2, adopted lithium iron phosphate and life extended. Complicated setting is unnecessary. Electricity can be used if button is pressed. That simplicity becomes greatest weapon in emergency.

Jackery Solar Generator 1000 v2

Very compact. One size smaller than other companies' products in same class. Handle folds so it does not get in way when loading in car.

3. Comparison: Brain or Muscle

項目 EcoFlow DELTA 2 Jackery 1000 v2
Battery Type LiFePO4 LiFePO4
Charging Speed AC 80 min (1200W) AC 60 min (Emergency Charge)
Expandability Yes (Dedicated Battery) No
App Super High Function Simple

4. The Solar Strategy

Portable power supply alone is one-handed drop. Because it’s over when used up. It becomes independent system only when operated as set with solar panel (200W class recommended).

Please try charging PC on balcony. Feeling of “Working with sunlight” becomes creative stimulus more than imagined.

Conclusion: Democratization of Energy

Electricity used to be sent unilaterally from huge power plants. Now it is different. Each household generates, stores, and consumes. In some cases, accommodate with neighbor’s house.

Having Grid B is not just disaster prevention. It is act of regaining sovereignty of energy.
