EcoFlow DELTA 2: the specifications, checked and calculated

By the Solar Backup Lab editorial team · Specifications verified 2026-07-29 · How we work

The best pick if you expect your needs to grow. Below is every published figure for the EcoFlow DELTA 2, each one linked to its source, plus runtime calculated from those figures with the arithmetic shown.

Check availability before you buy this one

EcoFlow appears to have replaced the DELTA 2 with the DELTA 3 line. As of 29 July 2026 the base DELTA 2 no longer appears in Amazon search results, though the DELTA 2 Max and the DELTA 2 expansion battery still do. The DELTA 3 carries the same 1,024 Wh capacity and 1,800 W inverter with a faster stated recharge. If you are buying new, compare the DELTA 3 before committing to a DELTA 2 from remaining stock.

How we get our numbers: Every specification on this page comes from the manufacturer's published documentation or an authorized retailer's spec table — each one linked and dated at the foot of the page. Runtimes are calculated from those specs using the formula shown, so you can check them against your own equipment. Full method.

What 1,024 Wh actually runs

Rated capacity is not usable capacity — the inverter takes a cut converting DC to AC. We work from ~870 Wh usable and divide by the real draw:

rated 1,024 Wh × 0.85 inverter efficiency = ~870 Wh usable runtime (hours) = 870 Wh ÷ (device watts × duty cycle + 15 W standby)
LoadDrawCalculated runtime
Full-size refrigerator (modern, Energy Star)150 W × 33% duty13 h
CPAP, no humidifier or heated hose30 W19 h
CPAP with humidifier + heated hose90 W8.3 h
Wi-Fi router + cable modem20 W25 h
Laptop (charging)60 W12 h
Box fan75 W9.7 h
Space heater (high setting)1500 W34 min

These are calculated, not measured. Real results vary with temperature, battery age, and how hard the inverter is working. Treat them as a planning baseline, not a guarantee.

Details the spec sheet buries

Where the manufacturer contradicts itself

EcoFlow's marketing copy advertises "3000+ full charge and drain cycles", while the spec table on the same page states "4000 cycles to 80%+ capacity". We quote the spec table and flag the gap — at a cycle a week the difference is roughly 19 years vs 25, so it does not change the buying decision, but you should know the number is not consistent.

Questions people actually ask

Will it run a full-size refrigerator?

Yes. A modern full-size fridge draws about 150 W while the compressor is running, and the compressor runs roughly a third of the time. Against ~870 Wh of usable capacity that calculates to about 13 h. Starting surge is the other half of the question: the 2,700 W surge rating covers a standard domestic fridge comfortably.

Can I recharge it from solar during an outage?

Yes — it accepts up to 500 W of solar input. In good sun that is roughly 2.7 hours to refill from empty, allowing for real-world panel losses. Note that "good sun" is doing a lot of work in that sentence: panel output falls sharply with cloud, angle and heat.

Will it run a space heater or an air conditioner?

A 1,500 W space heater is right at the edge of the 1,800 W inverter, and it would flatten the battery in well under an hour. Resistive heating is the worst possible use of stored battery capacity. A window air conditioner is more realistic on paper, but the compressor surge is the deciding factor.

How current are these figures?

Every specification on this page was checked against the manufacturer's own documentation on 2026-07-29, and the sources are linked at the foot of the page so you can confirm them yourself. Manufacturers revise specs quietly and retailers copy old figures for years, so if you spot a discrepancy between this page and the source we cited, tell us and we will correct and re-date it.
