Simulated runtimes (not measured)

Nobody tested this unit for this page. These figures come from a computer simulation of the DELTA 3 Max, and they are estimates. The plain runtime table below divides energy by average draw at 85% efficiency. The simulation also charges the battery for the power the inverter burns just by being switched on, which is why small loads come out shorter. Where we have measured a unit, the measurement is shown separately and labeled as measured.

Simulated runtimes for the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max
Device	Spec-sheet math	Simulated, typical	Likely range	Simulated at 0 °C
Wi-Fi router + modem	4.8 days	2.1 days	41 hours to 2.6 days	42 hours
CPAP (no humidifier)	2.4 days	35 hours	31 hours to 42 hours	30 hours
Starlink Standard	19 hours	16 hours	15 hours to 17 hours	14 hours
Refrigerator (full-size, ENERGY STAR)	30 hours	23 hours	21 hours to 25 hours	19 hours

Nonstop runtime from full to battery cutoff. Likely range = middle 80% of 200 simulated runs with the uncertain inputs varied. The inverter idle draw is assumed, not published: we assumed about 22 W for this model, varied from 13 to 34 W. If the real figure is lower, real runtimes land closer to the spec-sheet column.

How this was simulated

The battery is stepped down every 2 minutes until it reaches cutoff, for 200 runs per device. Results are seeded, so the page shows the same numbers on every build.
Battery draw = load + inverter idle draw + 4–8% of the load + a loss that rises with load squared (4% at full output).
Usable capacity = 92–98% of rated Wh, for protection cutoff and aging.
At 0 °C, 80–90% of that capacity is assumed available.
Fridges cycle on and off every 30–50 minutes at the share of the time set by their average draw. The inverter idle draw continues while the compressor is off.
Devices that exceed this model's output or surge rating are left out. Loads are US 120 V devices.

Questions

How long will the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max run a refrigerator?

About 30 hours for a typical ENERGY STAR full-size fridge averaging 58 W, assuming 85% inverter efficiency. Older or larger fridges use more. Try your own numbers.

Can the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max run a microwave?

Yes. A typical 1,000 W microwave pulls about 1,500 W from the outlet, within its 2,400 W continuous output. A full battery gives about 1.2 hours of cooking.

How many amp-hours is the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max?

The EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max works out to about 171 Ah at 12 V, or 160 Ah at 12.8 V, the nominal voltage of a 12 V LiFePO4 battery. Both are our conversion of EcoFlow's 2,048 Wh rating: amp-hours = watt-hours ÷ volts. The battery inside may run at a different voltage, so an amp-hour figure in a manual or on a product listing can look very different for the same energy. For scale, a 12 V 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery holds 1,280 Wh, so this model holds about as much as 1.6 of them. How we convert amp-hours.

How long does the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max take to charge?

EcoFlow's published charging claim: “0–80% in 68 min”. Max AC charging power is 1,800 W. With solar, it accepts up to 500 W. With 500 W of panels that's roughly 5.5 hours of good sun from empty.

Is the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max expandable?

No. Its capacity is fixed at 2,048 Wh.

Does the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max work as a UPS?

EcoFlow lists a 10 ms switchover time, so it can keep devices like routers and computers running when the power drops. Check that your specific device tolerates the switch before relying on it for anything critical.
