EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus vs Anker SOLIX C300
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 C300 costs $1120 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus holds 611% more energy (2048Wh vs 288Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus has 5400W more surge headroom (6000W vs 600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Anker SOLIX C300 is 48.7 lb lighter (8.6 lb vs 57.3 lb).
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,000 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus
Adds 600W of continuous output and doubles surge headroom over the standard Max, for $200. Worth it only if you're running heavy loads.
Best for: Workshops and job sites where tool startup surge is the constraint.
Where it falls short:
- $200 premium is wasted if your loads are under 2400W
- 57 lb
Anker SOLIX C300
Anker's smallest. 288Wh at $179 with three USB-C ports — aimed squarely at people charging modern devices, not running appliances.
Best for: Content creators and travelers with a bag full of USB-C gear.
Where it falls short:
- 300W output is device-only territory
- 100W solar input
