EcoFlow Announces Launch of New Alternator Charger – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
SEATTLE – EcoFlow, a leading portable power and eco-friendly energy solutions company, will expand its suite of On-the-Road Power Solutions with the launch of the new Alternator Charger — an industry-first providing travelers and outdoor enthusiasts with fast charging capabilities by harnessing their excess vehicle alternator energy, according to a press release.
3-in-1 Charger, Jump Starter and Battery Maintainer
Beyond an 800W alternator charger, the EcoFlow Alternator Charger also serves as an emergency jump starter for vehicles and includes a built-in battery maintainer to enhance the longevity of the vehicle starter battery.
With demand for accessible energy and off-grid comfort across the RV, overlanding and van life communities, there is a need for unrestricted access to electricity that isn’t dependent on fixed power locations or gas generators.
Connecting directly to a vehicle’s starter battery, the Alternator Charger installs easily and allows users to drive and re-charge select* EcoFlow devices and DELTA series power stations simultaneously, ensuring endless energy and providing home-like comfort for any adventure.
With an unprecedented 800W of power output and DC-to-DC charging, the Alternator Charger efficiently replenishes 1kWh worth of power in just 1.3 hours while in transit, 8X faster than the 12V cigarette charger in the vehicle.
The Alternator Charger can back-feed the vehicle battery from a connected portable power station, allowing it to operate as a jump starter to prevent users from being stranded. Its battery maintainer also ensures the vehicle starter battery stays in peak condition consistently.
Pass-through charging capability allows simultaneous operation of onboard appliances and devices while harnessing solar energy from any connected solar panels — an unparalleled convenience compared to conventional generators.
“With more of our customers looking for ways to enhance off-grid living, the EcoFlow On-the-Road power solutions provide them with home-like comfort while traveling,” said Brian Essenmacher, EcoFlow’s North American head of business development. “Say goodbye to the inconvenience of searching for power sources, the new Alternator Charger bundled with EcoFlow portable power solutions underscores our dedication to expand electrification in the RV and auto industry, fueled by sustainable and efficient power solutions.”
