At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers weighing a larger-capacity LFP station against a lighter, more portable NMC unit. The Bluetti AC200L delivers 2400W of running power and 2048 Wh of battery capacity, outpacing the EcoFlow DELTA's 1800W and 1260 Wh by meaningful margins.
That extra headroom shows in device compatibility: the AC200L powered 43 of 53 tested devices versus 40 for the DELTA. Battery longevity also favors the AC200L, with 3000 LFP cycles compared to the DELTA's 800 NMC cycles, and its expandable design opens the door to added capacity down the road.
Solar input potential reaches 1200W on the AC200L, triple the DELTA's 400W cap. The tradeoff is weight: the AC200L tips the scale at 62.4 lbs, roughly double the DELTA's 30.9 lbs, which matters if you need a grab-and-go station for car camping or tailgating.
