At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers shopping for a high-capacity LFP portable power station that can handle heavy loads during outages or off-grid use. The DELTA Pro 3 leads with 4000W of running power and 4096 Wh of capacity, doubling the Explorer 2000 Plus on stored energy and adding roughly 33% more continuous output.
It also accepts up to 2600W of solar input, nearly twice the 1400W ceiling on the Jackery unit, which matters if you plan to recharge from panels during extended outages. In device compatibility testing across 53 appliances, the EcoFlow model powered 48 while the Jackery handled 47, giving the Pro 3 a narrow but real edge.
The tradeoff is weight: at 113.5 lbs the DELTA Pro 3 is nearly double the Explorer 2000 Plus's 61.5 lbs, making the Jackery far easier to transport.
