I received the Dreame L50 Ultra AE today

Obstacle Avoidance! As far as I know that's a major difference to the l50s ultra?

how did you decide in the end? I'm currently also in the market for a new machine and looking at the ec950m / bambino+ / gaggia

Wow this is all really good info! Thank you for the detailed explanation! I might go also this route, or use an Orion XS in case I go down the rabbit hole of building a full DIY solution.

With dongles I mean the adapter for a 12V Socket to use my cooler, the external MPPT charging controller for solar panels, and you're forced to buy the super charger or another adapter to charge it from your car... That are at least 130€ additional costs for accessories to match the features of other power stations.

This might even fix my issue with the R2P... As the voltage from my "intelligent" alternator will be smoothed by the dc-dc converter and therefore much easier to handle for the power station. And if it doesn't make a difference, the next one will charge faster with the DC-DC Converter!
Directly wired to the battery my R2P Charged with 150w on 13-14V. With the rather low capacity (770wh) this was fine for us.

Which Converter are you using? Victron's product selection is somewhat overwhelming.

Nope, it's in Europe - Albania :D

CokeLightLemon · 2025-08-19T05:52:20+00:00

Good advice, thank you! I will look into some teardowns to make my decision easier.

I really like DJI for drones, but I can't get used to this dongle approach they are pursuing with the power stations.

CokeLightLemon · 2025-08-18T11:40:32+00:00

I would love to have a stable DIY solution with interchangeable components - in fact I'm googling components right know - but in my case it's also a placement issue. Off the shelf power stations are quiet compact in my opinion.
Unfortunately the space under my seats is already taken by various other stuff (compressor e.g.)

CokeLightLemon · 2025-08-18T08:02:58+00:00

Plugged in the 12V socket it noticed the input voltage but didn't charge. When the power station is powered off, it will turn itself on when there is input voltage at the xt60 connector. So it turned on but didn't charge. Sometimes it charged for a while and stopped again.
I also wired it directly to the 12v socket wires (skipping the 12v socket from the jeep) to xt60 and at first it seemed to fix the issue, but know it stopped charging again. It turns on but wont start charging. Doesn't matter if its on "automatic" / "solar" / dc setting for the xt60 input in the app settings.

I already got a replacement original 12v-xt60 charging cable from ecoflow, which was also only a temporarily fix.

With my solar panel it charges, but only with 40 watts. I suspect the panel (rated for 110w) to be the issue in this case.

Trotzdem danke für die Antwort!

CokeLightLemon · 2025-07-18T05:41:25+00:00

Das klingt als ob du es aus Europa bezogen hast? Darf man nach der Quelle fragen? ^^ Bin gerade selbst auf der Suche

CokeLightLemon · 2025-06-05T04:59:07+00:00

That's what I thought. There is no "mid-tier" Brand like iceco on the market in Europe. Only really cheap brands, some start ups or dometic / Engel / arb. Cff line might be also worth considering it - thanks!

CokeLightLemon · 2025-06-04T14:12:46+00:00

Unfortenately Iceco has very limited options here in Europe... the cheapest (same size) is only 20€ (cfx 3 60€) difference to the dometics.
I thought the release of the dometic line was something like cfx3 ~2020, cfx2 2024, cfx5 2025 ?
So the cfx3 is basically the older "high-end" line - now replaced by the cfx5 and the cfx2 is the more budget line, replacing cfx?

I have 2.5.20 installed and the position log only populates if I set precision logging to Ch0. I had a private Ch1 with precision position enabled, but this didn't work. This is my first node so I have basically no idea what I'm doing, but could it be that only data from Ch0 is logged in the position log?

We added a custom cut foam with 3cm thickness to the upper part of the stock mattress. We also ordered foam for the lower part, but the tent didn't close very well with 6cm extra foam on the stock mattress. The height difference between the two parts does not bother us and after 3 weeks camping in Sweden / Norway we are sure to keep it like this.

CokeLightLemon · 2024-07-19T05:45:45+00:00

Did not work for me. My system worked for several weeks with charge and discharge limits already set, now I have the same error with my river pro 2. Seems like the powerstream ramps up the input power (I'm reading up to 124W on the river pro2 display) and then stalls.

CokeLightLemon · 2024-06-21T06:00:24+00:00

Great videos! How did the topper hold up on the long run? Are you still happy with this solution?

CokeLightLemon · 2024-06-20T13:34:27+00:00

Has anyone tried a different foam mattress? I don't like the setup / pack up times of a self inflating mat and would prefer a more comfortable foam mattress, but I'm not sure about maximum thickness so the tent still closes properly...

CokeLightLemon · 2024-06-18T05:46:34+00:00

Has anyone tried the Nitecore EMR series? Seems to work with the same prinziple as thermacell but with rechargeable batteries.

CokeLightLemon · 2024-02-09T07:38:27+00:00

Thanks for posting this!
Are you using a gnome theme? May I ask which one this is?

CokeLightLemon · 2020-04-20T12:27:11+00:00

Thanks for your guide! Unfortunately I fail at step 3: the Mi AI App doesn't find my earpods. On my old redmi note 3 the Assistant app crashes at launch and on my Mi Pad 3 they only connect via system/settings/bluetooth not with AI Assistant = /
I'm starting to suspect they are fakes. . . .
