Anker SOLIX C800 vs EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra Plus
Side-by-side on the specs that decide it — surge, capacity, runtime and price.
Both models' specs verified against manufacturer listings · Last updated
The short answer
Anker SOLIX C800 costs $1400 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra Plus holds 300% more energy (3072Wh vs 768Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra Plus has 5600W more surge headroom (7200W vs 1600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Anker SOLIX C800 is 60.6 lb lighter (24.9 lb vs 85.5 lb).
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra Plus is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,000 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
Anker SOLIX C800
The C1000's smaller sibling. Same fast-charging DNA at a lower price, but the 768Wh capacity puts it firmly in weekend-trip territory.
Best for: Campers and van-lifers powering electronics, lights and a mini fridge — not home backup.
Where it falls short:
- 300W solar input is low — slow to top off off-grid
- 1600W surge rules out most motor-driven appliances
EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra Plus
The Ultra's solar problem solved: same everything, but 1600W of PV input instead of 800W. That doubles your off-grid refill speed for $200.
Best for: Off-grid cabins and van builds that actually recharge from panels.
Where it falls short:
- $1999 approaches DELTA Pro 3 pricing
- 85.5 lb
