EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 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 $2700 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 holds 225% more energy (4096Wh vs 1260Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 has 4700W more surge headroom (8000W vs 3300W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 is 82.1 lb lighter (30.9 lb vs 113 lb).
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 uses LiFePO4 while the other uses NMC — roughly double the usable cycle life.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 is rated for 4,000 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.
The most complete large unit here. 4096Wh, 4000W, 8000W surge and 2600W of solar — it does everything the F3800 does with less weight.
Best for: Whole-home backup buyers who want maximum solar recharge speed.
Where it falls short:
- $3,699 is a serious investment
- Overkill unless you're backing up a whole home
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
