EcoFlow DELTA 3 is a lithium iron phosphate power station with an expansion port compatible not only with its own extra battery, but also with those of DELTA 2, DELTA 2 Max and DELTA Pro 3: anyone starting with the single unit can add capacity later without replacing it. In a blackout it steps in fast enough that a connected computer doesn't lose its work.
It charges from the mains outlet, the sun or the car's cigarette lighter socket, always through the same port on the back; the grid and the sun can stay connected together, with the sun taking priority and the grid filling in only when it isn't enough. The four AC outlets share a single power budget, enough to keep a fridge, a router and a few lights running together during an outage.
It's a convenient base for anyone who wants to start small and grow later, or for anyone looking for a discreet reserve to keep in a corner of the home. Anyone who needs to start several heavy loads together from day one needs more power on the outlets, not more capacity: here the four outputs share it.

Which documents this page rests on
The rest of the data comes from 2 pages 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.

Pros and cons
In favour
- When power fails it switches to the battery in 10 milliseconds: the connected computer doesn't notice.
- The expansion port also accepts the batteries of DELTA 2, DELTA 2 Max and DELTA Pro 3, not only its own. source
- It charges from the grid, the sun or the car through the same port on the back, so no separate cable is needed for each source. source
- From the mains outlet alone it's back to nearly full in under an hour: if the blackout finds it empty, it recovers quickly.
Worth knowing
- On its own it stays just above one kilowatt-hour: to go higher, the expansion battery is needed, sold separately.
- Solar input doesn't exceed 500 W: with more panels while camping, charging stays slow.
- The four AC outlets share a single total power budget: they aren't four independent circuits.
