EcoFlow DELTA 3 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 $470 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 holds 256% more energy (1024Wh vs 288Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 has 3000W more surge headroom (3600W vs 600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Anker SOLIX C300 is 20.1 lb lighter (8.6 lb vs 28.7 lb).
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,000 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
EcoFlow DELTA 3
The 1kWh class got a serious upgrade here. 3600W surge at $649 beats the older DELTA 2 on every axis that matters.
Best for: Anyone about to buy a DELTA 2 — this is the same money for materially better specs.
Where it falls short:
- Still only 1024Wh
- Solar input unchanged at 500W
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
