Hi Dave I run a 2 man system off one pump no problems at all, never let it charge down for three days.

Have you checked the battery, sounds like its on its was out. do you use eco flows varistreams ?

[david wood]

hi ian 1 is a varistream the other is an eco flow with the power meter and its the eco what cuts out first .the battery is great for 1 set up but not with 2

seems strange that it is not lasting more than a day.

is it an digital ecoflo ?

[david wood]

yes it is digital.the battery has always given me 3 days from new useing it with 1 set up and still gives me 3 days now so i thought the battery mite still be ok

I had the saem trouble with the digital ones, I took that off and put a dial on back on and worked fine.
I think as soon as battery goes low it auto shuts down (stupid idea. and annoying)

[david wood]

i was running it from the main van battery untill i broke down 3 times last year

i was running it from the main van battery untill i broke down 3 times last year

can you not add another battery to the main one and charge this way ?

I have it like that in transit never charge or run out (says that now)

and relay it is a 110ah stand alone battery that I change every night, both are 2 man systems

Yeh relay it, if youve already got the battery so just connect it to main one.

Shouldnt be any reason it runs lower using a digital one tho. I use the digital varistream no problems.

And easy run two man setup off one battery, we have run 2 off the main battery (only battery) now for 2 years no probs.

[david wood]

this eco flow has a relay wire on it when i connected it up it was clicking away but didnt really charge the battery very good

[david wood]

yes i no people who run there set up strait from there van battery with no probs .maybe i should just buy a new van battery and run 2 set ups from there and have no  messing chargeing spare batterys up every night

I had same problem with eco flo cutting out after a few hours, it did not like the battery.

I've been running of my van battery for about the last 8 months admittedly its only a 1 man set-up, Dave St Ives posted about running 2 man set-ups though with no problems so I followed his lead and I'm glad I did.
