At a Glance

This comparison targets buyers weighing raw capacity and device coverage against portability and faster solar charging. The AC200MAX delivers 2200W of running power and a 2048 Wh battery, doubling the DELTA 3 Plus on stored energy and adding 400W more continuous output.

That extra headroom shows in compatibility testing: the Bluetti powers 45 out of 53 devices versus 42 for the EcoFlow, giving it a clear edge for home backup scenarios with heavier loads. However, the DELTA 3 Plus counters with a 27.6 lb frame, less than half the AC200MAX's 61.9 lbs, and it recharges via solar in roughly 3.7 hours compared to 7.3 hours for the Bluetti.

Buyers who prioritize grab-and-go portability or rapid solar turnaround will feel that difference on every trip. The tradeoff is straightforward: more power and coverage versus lighter weight and quicker recharge.
