Ecoflow crazy, maybe not so crazy, idea

When anyone asks about improving their leisure battery options/solar/LiFePO4 etc., frequent responses are "get an Ecoflow", and these suggestions are actually a nice all-in-one solution.

This got me thinking after watching a tear down of an Ecoflow Delta 2.

So, just for one moment suspend all the usual cautionary advice about tampering with the internals of an Ecoflow, warranty etc. and just humour me and my wild idea for a minute...

This suggestion is purely from the perspective of having a more integrated Ecoflow solution hidden away in the van rather than it sitting stand alone in addition to the OEM power system and the associated extra weight and space of this approach.

Therefore, if you dismantled an Ecoflow into it's constituent parts, battery, BMS front panel and rear panel, then located those bits around the van. So, remove the OEM AGM leisure battery solution and put a Ecoflow battery pack in the rear leisure battery compartment, and an extra Ecoflow battery under the seat where the other leisure battery is. Then put the end panels of the Ecoflow at the end of the cabinet unit (sink end) behind the passenger seat in 3D printed housing.

So in summary you could have 2048Wh of available power (with an extra Ecoflow battery), it can provide up to 1800W of clean AC, it can power most other consumers within the van (fridge, lights etc.) and also power any USB powered device.

In addition it already has easy connection to any solar solution with it's integrated MPPT, and Ecoflow also already provides a direct alternator solution too.

Alternatively, if Ecoflow made the option of modular kit, such as battery packs, that can be plug-n-play to a control panel (already exists) which can then be plug-n-play to a distribution panel (3-pin, USB, lighter socket etc.), I think it would fly off of the shelves, because you could then neatly integrate it into most camper solutions.

Any thoughts on any aspect that I haven't considered?
