At a Glance

This comparison matters most if you're weighing raw capacity against portability for home backup or off-grid use. The AC200L delivers 2,400W of running power and a 2,048 Wh battery, nearly double the DELTA 3 Plus on both counts.

That extra headroom lets it power 43 out of 53 tested devices versus 42 for the DELTA 3 Plus, earning a higher overall score of 83.5 to 76.5. Both units share the same 3,600W surge rating, LFP chemistry, and expandable designs.

The tradeoff is significant: the DELTA 3 Plus weighs just 27.6 lbs, less than half the AC200L's 62.4 lbs, and its 3.7-hour solar charge time is roughly half the AC200L's 7.3 hours despite a slightly lower 1,000W max solar input. Portability and fast solar turnaround clearly favor EcoFlow's lighter unit.
