Comparing the 1024 Wh DELTA 3 Plus and DELTA 2 - First impressions
The DELTA 3 Plus is a beautiful addition to the EcoFlow DELTA Series. It has a new sleek, silver shell, with long, chrome bar bezels. While the overall dimensions are similar to the DELTA 2, the DELTA 3 Plus has a slightly larger length and width. The LCD screen on the DELTA 3 Plus is larger, easier to read and reminiscent of a digital race car speedometer. The slow speed USB-A ports have been removed, the USB-C ports have been upgraded to 140W of output over the previous 100W of output on the Delta 2, and the AC Outlets have been moved to the front of the unit, with an additional 3-prong outlet and one fewer 2-prong outlet. The 12V socket and DC 5521 ports remain on the rear aspect. The DELTA 3 Plus has a flap that can be pushed and tucked into the unit. The DELTA 3 Plus sports two XT60i PV ports, giving it an additional 500W of DC or solar input for a total of 1000W, and the flexibility to use solar panels of different specifications for each port, or the option to use one port for solar charging and one port for 12V car charging or DC charging. The fans have been relocated to the Front and Rear of the DELTA 3 Plus, from the lateral sides of the DELTA 2. The XT150 Extra Battery Port has been relocated to the rear of the DELTA 3 Plus, versus the right, lateral side of the Delta 2. The DELTA 3 Plus expands up to 5 kWh (5120 Wh) of battery capacity, compared to up to 3 kWh (3072 Wh) of battery capacity for the DELTA 2. The top aspect of the DELTA 3 Plus has a beautiful black, matte and glossy tessellation pattern that is absent from the matte finish on the DELTA 2.-The 1024 Wh DELTA 2 and DELTA 3 Plus are both great power stations that are a perfect balance between weight and powering capacity. Choosing between one or the other will satisfy most needs, whether it is for emergency back up power, camping, or living off grid. The DELTA 3 Plus has some desirable updates, and for people who are trying to decide between the two units, the DELTA 3 Plus is the clear winner.
