Well, to me a suicide cord is any cord with male connection on both ends
Like most thing involving 2 males and voltage, it is going to end badly, especially if beer is involved

Solar Joules are catch and release
Agreed, but while this has a male connector on one end, it's got this on the other:

So I have this game I play on every forum i hang out on. its where I try to guess something about the person by their screen name.
so far i have CPTX= Captain texas, Corporal Texas, and Corporate taxes... so what are you former military, State police, or a member of the dread IRS?
By the way, Daddy Tanuki is my nickname with my daughters... Daddy (obvious) Tanuki "Within Japanese folklore, Japanese raccoon dogs (tanuki) have had a significant role since ancient times. They are reputed to be mischievous and jolly, masters of disguise and shapeshifting but somewhat gullible and absent-minded."
yes I shapeshift (fatter) as I drink beer and get gullible and absent minded while doing so...
I go by CCTX on another forum. But, CCTX was already taken here. CP are the initials of one of my best friends from University….and it’s a humorous play on the old CCCP Cyrillic alphabet.
I will provide no additional information over the internets.

I just stumbled across this thread - after finishing laughing, I offer the following.
I started with two Delta Pros connected together and plugged into a generator inlet box beside my panel. I used the appropriate interlock kit to prevent backfeeding to the grid. We ran our whole house on this setup for months until I finally pulled the trigger for a "real" solar solution. We learned a lot about our power consumption and what loads were really important.
We're in Texas, also, so we kept the garage door propped open a bit and even ran a fan to keep the air circulating.
We lost our interlock kit and inlet box when we upgraded our system for solar. Now, the Delta Pros sit in the closet awaiting the next emergency when our inverter craps out or we need power in the shop.

Update:
No more long extension cord running across the floor…..I do have a short GFCI extension cord between the Eco Flow and the flange inlet.
Fished 12/2 Romex through the walls to four GFCI outlets in each corner of the room for a dedicated/completely separate from the grid system.

It is important that every old house has one switch, or I guess now 4 single outlets, that no one knows what they are for!
