115V outlet in cab unable to charge EcoFlow battery

[ShadowsPapa]

Your Aux battery is dying.. Pull fuse F42 and disconnect the ground to the secondary battery. Jumper N1, N2, and N3 for good measure with a paper clip or a railroad spike ?

Hey, hadn't thought of the spike thing - that could lay across all of the terminals. Some rebar would even reach over to the positive battery terminal!

I was considering plugging my battery charger into the rear console inverter outlet to charge my JT's batteries.

You're overthinking things.
Just get another 3 prong male and swap it out on an extension cord to make a double male cord.
Plug one end into the wall out and the other end into the bed outlet in the Jeep to fast charge the battery.

If there's a power outage you can use the same cord with the Jeep at idle to run the house.

I’m going to put an oscilloscope on the outlet tomorrow. Will share screenshots and give some indication of how shit it is.

Running an EF Delta and ran into the same issue. It ended up working out for the better in our case. EF charges off cigarette lighter adapter while powering the fridge on a slide in the bed. We’ve got a line out from the cab to the bed. EF stays protected and hidden from eyes. We needed to be out for a few weeks on a trip last year so I layered in Cascadia’s hood solar panel which trickle charges the Jeep’s battery while offering a 12v out.

I’m glad I have the bed outlet for resale but that’s it, haven’t used it for anything since that initial attempt. EF basically lives in the back and fits nicely directly behind center console out of the way of rear passengers.

I have a Jackery. I installed a 12v outlet in the bed to maintain the charge on it while driving, as it is constantly running our camp fridge. At camp, we swap the truck out for the solar panels.

ive charged my eco flow no prob from the outlet no issues. it did lots of relay click sounds frequently for some reason though. (I think it was from the ecoflow but maybe the outlet relay?) It seemed to click and reset but eventually just charged normally.

That's interesting. I've been charging my renogy lifepo from a victron ac-dc charger via the bed outlet no problem. This gives about 18amp to the battery. Also have 100w solar panel to supplement when not on the move. Fridge has lived in the back of the truck 24/7 for the last month or so. I like being able to turn of the ac outlet while I'm driving if I see that the battery is fully charge via the renogy app just as a precaution (probably unnecessary with th victron).
