Power high-demand appliancesfrom 3-ton central AC to 1 HP water pumpwith robust 4,000W and dual 120V/240V capabilities.
Price and Availability
The EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 is available and retails for $3,699.
U.S. residents may be eligible for a rebate through the Residential Clean Energy Credit program.
It even has a built-in light that makes it ideal for camping trips.
Yes, its a power station, but Id argue its much less portable than the smaller ones.
Even with two back wheels and a telescoping handle, the unit is heavy and inconvenient to move around.
I briefly attempted to lift it into the trunk of my SUV and then quickly decided against it.
Its size and weight might be its defining characteristics.
For example, if you live in a second-floor apartment, stairs arent an option.
It probably wont be a battery that youre constantly wheeling around or taking out of the house.

In exchange for a heavy unit, you do get a lot of battery power and plenty of outlets.
I liked having all the various options even though most of my use revolved around the standard outlets.
They are still handy for charging accessories for bigger items.

Charging an EV Is Possible
With a big, powerful battery comes big powerful charging needs.
For some people, it will be keeping a refrigerator going for multiple days.
For others, it might be powering an electric oven or air conditioning unit.

For me, I wanted to try charging a Tesla Model Y from the battery.
Tesla lists the adapter as being capable of charging a Model Y at 14 miles of range per hour.
Thats exactly the result I saw in the Tesla app, with the vehicle charging at 16A.

Mostly, I wanted to see if charging an EV from the Delta Pro 3 was possible.
Its far from cost-effective and is not something Ill often do, possibly ever again.
And a big battery can take a while to be recharged.

I refilled the battery with standard AC wall outlets most of the time.
Twice, the battery tripped a circuit in my garage when using its fast setting.
It was consuming power at a rate of around 1,400W when those incidents happened.

It features both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for connecting to it remotely and controlling some of its more nuanced features.
Should You Buy the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3?
I probably could have told you theEcoFlow Delta Pro 3was a beast before seeing it in person.
But after spending some time with it, I can indeed confirm it is an ultra-powerful battery.
I liked its wide range of ports and deep feature set.
I wouldnt advise most people to plan on moving it frequently.
