EcoFlow DELTA Pro vs Jackery Explorer 240
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
Jackery Explorer 240 costs $3000 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro holds 1400% more energy (3600Wh vs 240Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro has 6800W more surge headroom (7200W vs 400W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Jackery Explorer 240 is 92.4 lb lighter (6.6 lb vs 99 lb).
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro uses LiFePO4 while the other uses NMC — roughly double the usable cycle life.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro is rated for 3,500 cycles vs 500 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
If you plan to cycle the battery daily, think twice about the Jackery Explorer 240. Its NMC cells are rated for 500 cycles against the LiFePO4 rival's longer life — over years of regular use that's the more expensive unit, whatever the sticker says.
The previous-generation flagship, now mostly worth buying on discount. The Pro 3 beats it on nearly every axis.
Best for: Bargain hunters who find it steeply discounted against the Pro 3.
Where it falls short:
- 99 lb and 165-minute recharge — both beaten by the Pro 3
- Aging platform; expect it to be phased out
A very old, very small unit still sold on price alone. The LiFePO4 Explorer 240 v2 beats it on cycles and charging for similar money.
Best for: Only if it’s markedly cheaper than the 240 v2.
Where it falls short:
- ~500 Li-ion cycles
- 200W output, no USB-C PD
