Bluetti Elite 100 V2 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
Bluetti Elite 100 V2 costs $400 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 holds 23% more energy (1260Wh vs 1024Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Bluetti Elite 100 V2 has 300W more surge headroom (3600W vs 3300W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Bluetti Elite 100 V2 is 5.6 lb lighter (25.3 lb vs 30.9 lb).
- Bluetti Elite 100 V2 uses LiFePO4 while the other uses NMC — roughly double the usable cycle life.
- Bluetti Elite 100 V2 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.
A 1kWh unit whose headline is longevity: 6,000 cycles is roughly double most rivals, at an aggressive price.
Best for: Daily cyclers who want the lowest long-term cost per kWh at 1kWh.
Where it falls short:
- 1,000W solar input is high, but there is no expansion port to grow capacity
- Newer product with a shorter field track record
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
