Data from official source

EcoFlow DELTA 3 1500 is a lithium iron phosphate power station with an expansion port that also takes the batteries of DELTA 2, DELTA 2 Max and DELTA Pro 3. The outlets and ports are enough on their own to cover most of a home's appliances, without adding a power strip. In a blackout, switchover to the battery takes fifteen milliseconds.

It charges from the outlet, the sun or the car; on mains power alone it's back to nearly full in about an hour, useful if the blackout finds it already empty. The expansion battery greatly extends the runtime, but the power on the outlets stays the same with or without it: it grows in how long it lasts, not in how much it can drive.

It's built for anyone who needs more energy than a compact unit but doesn't yet want a fixed home battery system: roomy enough for several days off grid, and still something moved in two hands. Anyone loading it into the car alone every week will feel the weight.

Which documents this page rests on

The rest of the data comes from one page on the manufacturer's site, cited row by row in the table above.

A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.

03 · Summary

Pros and cons

In favour

  • When power fails it switches to the battery in 15 milliseconds: the connected appliances stay on.
  • The expansion battery greatly extends the runtime, and it's worth it even for a DELTA 2 or a DELTA Pro 3 already at home.
  • In about an hour from the outlet alone it's charged to 80% again, useful if the blackout finds it empty.
  • It has enough outlets and ports to cover almost everything needed in a blackout at once, without adding a power strip. source

Worth knowing

  • The power on the four AC outlets stays the same even with the expansion battery added: capacity grows, output doesn't.
  • Solar input doesn't exceed 500 W, even on a unit meant to stay off grid longer.
  • The starting capacity covers one night, not a weekend: extending it means buying the extra battery separately.
