A DIY project Power Systems with 12v, Solar vs an Ecoflow Delta2 - which solution is better?

It is not easy to compare, because both solutions have some advenate/disadvantages.

Both variants did come with LiFePO4 and will have after 3000 Cycle times arround 80% capacity, the ecoflow and the DIY - in my comparison.

So even with a daily use, it will have over 80% of the capacity after 8.3 Years. Guess that is not an point to discuss anymore.

The space required by the DIY project and the weight are the main disadvantages, together with the starting price.

And you can`t just use cheapies for the DIY buildup, when you want to have an serious warranty like the ecoflow did provide (5 years)...

I have the Delta 2 with 1Kwh, that is enough to run the fridge and the led lights all the day, I also added 200W of solar but in a cloudy day I was struggling, now with the alternator charger I charge the battery from zero in a 1h 20 mins drive and I always have 100% when traveling or just moving the ban around to see things and I can even user by induction too cook without being worried of saving energy. The solar panel is useful when I want to be parked for more than a day.
