Ecoflow Delta 2 and 3 in 1 charger installed, does not turn on when vehicle is started

[CyanideRide]

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing some weirdness with my setup.

I've just installed my Ecoflow delta 2 along with the 800W 3 in 1 charger and everything seems to be working fine, Delta 2 is 80% charged.

However, when I start the vehicle up, the 3 in 1 charger does not automatically turn on nor will it switch on (both show as disconnected in the app) BT on phone is on.

Sometimes I have to open the hatch and power on the units themselves before they'll connect to the app and that's only sometimes.

Am I missing something here?

Also, I'd like the system to charge the vehicle battery automatically when the delta 2 is fully charged, but I can't see an automation for it.

Thank you in advance for any advice and assistance.

Hi CyanideRide, did you resolve this?

I have the 800W charger and a Delta 2 in my 100 series. I noticed it takes a few minutes for the app to connect with the charger and the Delta 2 upon car starting up. Once power is provided to the Delta 2, it will wake up if it has shut down. I haven't had to manually power cycle it.

From what I could tell, it should start charging automatically if you leave the it in "Charge Mode" and "Start Working" Enabled. It can also depend on what auto timeout you have set for the Device, (look under device timeout). If I am driving a lot, I will leave it at 24 hrs. The trade off is if you don't drive the car in a few days, the Delta 2 may drain itself.

From what I can tell, the option to automatically switch to "reverse charge or battery maintenance" from "Charge" mode isn't yet possible. I would suggest you request that feature from Ecoflow. That would be handy for sure.

Also under device settings for the charger, what is the start voltage set at? This can impact if the charger will wake up when the vehicle is started.

Sort of, the charger stays on, but the status light is red, indicating moisture in the port.

I haven't tried these fixes yet, I'll flip through the settings asap
