== Product Performance ==
=== PowerOcean ===
The PowerOcean lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries continuously consume ~100W when charging or discharging which Ecoflow misrepresent on their dashboard and app as an increase in house load. Therefore unless the battery is at a 100% state of charge (SoC) or at its reserve limit the batteries would consume ~2.4kWh/day, ~16.8kWh/week and 873.6kWh/year. Also, as each battery pack has a capacity of 5kWh, the battery will drain itself in 2 days @ ~2.4kWh/day.
When solar generation to the PowerOcean inverter increases, the house load also increases, which is assumed to be a misrepresentation of the inverter efficiency losses. Furthermore, the calculated efficiency based on the losses is in the ~80s% which is short of the >96%<ref>https://enterprise-service-eu-cdn.ecoflow.com/enterprise/documentation/1736237468159/EcoFlow%20PowerOcean%20(Single%20Phase)_Datasheet_EN_20241230.pdf#page=2</ref> efficiency claimed.
