How it Compares to the DELTA 3 Base and 3 Plus Models
All three models (DELTA 3, 3 Plus, and 3 Pro) share EcoFlow’s fast AC recharge technology and LiFePO₄ battery chemistry
Model | Capacity | AC Output | Solar | USB Port | USB-C-PD |
DELTA 3 | 1,024Wh | 1,800W | 500W (single) |
Basic Less than 10ms |
2 x 100 |
DELTA 3 PLUS | 1,024Wh | 1,800W | 2 x 500W (dual input) | Reliable for NAS/HID System | 140 USB-C |
DELTA 3 PRO | 4,096Wh | 4,000W | 260W | Full Home | 2 x 100W with X-Boost up to 6,000 W for restrictive load |
A group testing* reaffirmed the DELTA series as the standout for domestic backup and RV use, recommending the DELTA 3 PRO for advanced users with demand for heavy‑load support. Its smaller sibling (the DELTA 3 Plus) was among the best in its class.
The DELTA 3 Pro is the first in the series capable of supporting nearly any household appliance, including induction hobs, air fryers, charge electric heaters or even EV chargers—whereas the smaller units are best for devices up to about 2–3 kW.
Advanced Features & Ecosystem
Beyond its core specs, the DELTA 3 Pro integrates with EcoFlow’s wider energy ecosystem:
- Smart Extra Battery modules allow chaining your system up to 12 kWh— or even beyond using Smart Home panels and battery hubs.
- EV X‑Stream Adapter lets you recharge the DELTA 3 Pro at public EV charging stations—with some users reporting up to 3 ,400 W input this way
- Smart Home Panel and Double‑Voltage Hub enable hybrid backup for 230 V and 110 V supplies, including load‑shifting and peak‑shaving control. These add versatility in a smart appliance-managed home setup
- UPS/EPS with <10 ms changeover supports instantly switching load to battery during blackouts—keeping sensitive electronics secure.
UK Support & Consumer Feedback
The DELTA 3 Pro comes with a 5 year warranty. One must buy an EcoFlow product from an authorised reseller in the UK. If the device was bought from a non-authorized seller, service may be denied.
Pros and Cons
Advantages | Drawbacks |
Industry‑leading fast charging and cycle life (4 000 cycles to 80 %) | Heaviest in EcoFlow line—approx. 52 kg |
Full‑home capable output (4 kW continuous, 8 kW surge) | No built‑in 12V cigarette port (some units only include USB‑C/Anderson) |
Expandable ecosystem for 10 kWh+ storage | Pass‑through charging has prompted some RV users to report overload resets |
App support, UPS functionality, and UK control options | Entry cost is higher than alternatives like Bluetti AC500 or Victron home batteries |
Backwards compatibility with older EcoFlow modules | Customer service depends on authorized retailer sourcing |
Reasons Why You Might Choose the DELTA 3 Pro
- You need high‑power output in a mobile format — think event caterers, caravans with induction hobs, remote EV setups
- You want expandable battery flexibility without committing to a fixed battery wall system
- Uninterrupted power for sensitive electronics — small UPS, NAS servers, or medical devices
- Broad input options — solar, AC, EV charging—ideal with seasonal UK affordability schemes or dynamic import tariffs
- Future‑proofing flexibility— cross‑compatibility with EcoFlow’s Smart Gen, solar array, and home wall‑panel technologies
The EcoFlow DELTA 3 Pro is compatible with a wide ecosystem of EcoFlow devices and accessories. Here’s what pairs with the unit, and how they work together:
DELTA 3 Pro Smart Extra Battery
- Plugs into the dedicated Extra Battery port for plug‑and‑play expansion
- Each adds ~3,072 Wh, allowing up to 12 kWh total capacity
- Can run in mixed mode with DELTA Pro 3 or DELTA Pro batteries, though battery state-of-charge (SOC) can be unbalanced when mixing generations
Standalone Devices
Works with EcoFlow’s full list of supported products—assuming latest firmware:
- Smart Generator 4000 (Dual Fuel) via the DELTA Pro ↔ Smart Generator Adapter (for auto‑start and DC recharge)
- EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 2 — enables full load-shifting, UPS/home backup, and net export management
EV X-Stream Adapter
- Required for solar‑station charging from Level 2 EV chargers (up to 3,400 W).
- Supports both Type 1 (J1772) and Type 2 (Mennekes) plugs depending on region.
- EcoFlow PowerInsight Home Energy Manager and WAVE 2 UPS
Solar Charging

In Summation:
For UK buyers seeking the most capable portable power station on the market, DELTA 3 Pro offers unmatched reliability, capacity, and expandability—especially for users who want hefty loads, multiple rewiring sources, or emergency backup without a permanent home installation. While it demands a significant upfront investment , its long cycle life, fast recharge, and integration into EcoFlow’s ecosystem mean it should pay for itself long-term—especially where grid outages or frequent energy demands apply.
Again, prospective buyers should ensure they purchase via authorized UK resellers to retain warranty support, and be aware of certain limitations (e.g. DC output amps restrictions or combined-wattage advisories for specific appliances). As with any advanced tech, proper configuration and usage yield the best results.
If you’re looking at powering your home—or even your lifestyle—on off-grid or backup energy in the UK, EcoFlow DELTA 3 Pro and EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 Extra Battery remains a true flagship choice with both muscle and smarts behind it.
