At a Glance

This comparison targets buyers choosing between two LFP portable power stations that sit at different ends of the capacity spectrum. The EcoFlow Delta Pro delivers 3600W of running power from a 3600 Wh battery and supports expansion, making it a strong candidate for whole-home backup and heavy-load scenarios.

The Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 runs at 2200W with 2042 Wh of capacity but weighs just 39.5 lbs, less than half the Delta Pro's 99.2 lbs. Solar input tells a similar story of scale: the Delta Pro accepts up to 1600W, four times the Explorer 2000 v2's 400W max.

In device compatibility testing across 53 appliances, the Delta Pro powered 47 while the Explorer 2000 v2 handled 45. The tradeoff is real, though: the Explorer 2000 v2 offers UPS functionality with a 20 ms switchover and rates for 4000 cycles versus the Delta Pro's 3500.
