Bluetti Apex 300 vs EcoFlow DELTA 1300
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
EcoFlow DELTA 1300 costs $600 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Bluetti Apex 300 holds 119% more energy (2764Wh vs 1260Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Bluetti Apex 300 has 4380W more surge headroom (7680W vs 3300W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 is 48.5 lb lighter (30.9 lb vs 79.4 lb).
- Bluetti Apex 300 uses LiFePO4 while the other uses NMC — roughly double the usable cycle life.
- Bluetti Apex 300 is rated for 6,000 cycles vs 800 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
If you plan to cycle the battery daily, think twice about the EcoFlow DELTA 1300. Its NMC cells are rated for 800 cycles against the LiFePO4 rival's longer life — over years of regular use that's the more expensive unit, whatever the sticker says.
6000 cycles at 2764Wh — the best long-term cost-per-kWh in this list if you cycle daily. Bluetti's answer to the Elite 200 V2 at scale.
Best for: Off-grid solar setups where daily cycling makes lifespan the dominant cost.
Where it falls short:
- 79.4 lb
- Newer product with limited long-term field data
The original DELTA that put EcoFlow on the map. Fast-charging and high-surge for its day, but the NMC battery and lack of USB-C now show its age.
Best for: Bargain hunters who find it heavily discounted.
Where it falls short:
- NMC — ~800 cycles
- No USB-C PD
- 2-year warranty
