EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus vs EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra
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 3 Plus costs $1050 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra holds 200% more energy (3072Wh vs 1024Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra has 3600W more surge headroom (7200W vs 3600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus is 55.1 lb lighter (28.7 lb vs 83.8 lb).
EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus
The DELTA 3 with a $100 premium for smart-home integration and faster UPS switching. Same battery, same surge.
Best for: Home-office setups where a desktop or NAS can't tolerate a power blip.
Where it falls short:
- $100 more for features many buyers never use
- Same 1024Wh as the cheaper DELTA 3
EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra
3kWh with 7200W surge at $1799 — this is whole-home territory at a mid-range price. The catch is the 800W solar input.
Best for: Grid-tied home backup where you recharge from the wall, not the sun.
Where it falls short:
- 800W solar input is low for 3kWh — slow off-grid refills
- 83.8 lb
