So I got a Delta 2 from Ecoflow. I also got a 220w bifacial solar panel.
Because the solar was coming in today, I wanted to run the battery down a bit last night. I decided to see how the cpap would perform on it and plugged in to the regular AC jack.
A little under 2 hours later I woke up to the whole thing turned off. I didn’t think to check to see if there were any warning, lights or anything on the front because it was dark and I just wanted to go back to sleep. So I plugged it into the wall and caught a few hours. I got up around 6 AM and decided to plug it back into the wall, but basically didn’t really fall back to sleep at that point while it was running.
I called ecoflow today to ask about this and she was escalating the issue. She mentioned it could be a warranty issue.
I’m just wondering though if it’s possible that it causes it to tripped circuit breaker inside or something like that.
Could the whole 12v/24v nature of the AS11 be creating a conflict on the machine?
And if so, wasn’t there talk of an alternate cord to run out of the DC port of the delta 2?
Specs are there:

Thanks for any wisdom.
Do you have an update on your case?
I am considering the Delta 2 and the Yeti 500x but not sure what direction to go for an air sense 11.
Thanks for asking.
Well…. I’ve been in touch with ecoflow and it’s a work in progress. I think part of the issue is the app which they say they are working on.
I don’t know if the problem with the delta 2 is me. It’s *possible that I turned off the auto start setting on my cpap. I thought my breathing started it up but it didn’t and maybe auto shutoff the delta 2 because I had it set for two hours. It was my first time using the delta 2 and after the debacle I wound up changing the setting to have delta 2 stay on until I turn it off manually.
I like the device a lot and since the debacle known as me I have used it throughout an entire night of sleep with no problems. I have a 220w bifacial solar panel for emergency backup. I like that I can fast charge in just a hair over an hour when plugged in AC. Recalling hurricane Sandy, being able to take it somewhere and charge it up while having a meal for example (if a place lets you use their power), it is nice to require only an hour for full zero to 100 charge.
The advantage imo of the lithium iron phosphate battery is 3000+ charges vs 1000 or so for lithium ion (i think yeti/goal zero is lithium ion). Yeti is not a third of the cost but gets a third life span. LiFePO4 is more stable due to heating, unlike lithium ion (see Teslas catching fire).
I know I should get more use out of it but right now it’s just weather ready. I need it ready for anything.
A friend built a frame for the solar panel out of 1” pvc. I will attach using Nite Ize gear ties. I like that I can control it remotely from the app. I set up the hotspot on top of it while it was on the solar panel. From walmart I could see state of charge and what the panel was pulling.
Like I said- my own worst enemy. I was in such a hurry to set it up I had the back facing the sun and pulled 125w off the 155w backside. lol
So otherwise I have a 2yr warranty if it ever cuts out again while sleeping.
