At a Glance

This comparison targets buyers weighing a midsize portable unit against a high-capacity home backup station. The EcoFlow DELTA (Gen 1) delivers 1800W of running power from a 1260 Wh NMC battery and weighs just 30.9 lbs, making it easy to move between campsites, tailgates, and small emergency setups. The Pecron E3600LFP nearly triples that output at 3600W with a 3072 Wh LFP battery, 3500 cycle lifespan, and 20 ms UPS switchover for protecting home circuits and sensitive electronics.

In device testing, the E3600LFP powered 47 of 53 loads versus 40 for the DELTA, earning a score of 95 to the DELTA's 75.5. Solar recharge capacity also differs sharply: the Pecron accepts up to 2400W of panel input compared to 400W on the DELTA. The tradeoff is weight and portability.

At 79.4 lbs, the E3600LFP is a stationary unit for most people, while the DELTA stays genuinely grab-and-go.
