Pros and cons

  • Expands to 12 kWh with up to five add-on packs
  • Jackery says six 200 W panels can refill it in about 2 hours

Cons

  • 61.5 lb before you add any battery packs

Model DELTA 2 Max

EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max Portable Power Station

A strong all-rounder at 2 kWh: plenty of outlets, fast charging and real room to grow. The weight is the price you pay.

Pros

  • Expansion works only with EcoFlow's own DELTA 2 Max Smart Extra Batteries
  • We could not find a backup switchover time in EcoFlow's published specifications

What we could not confirm

Jackery does not publish a rated cycle life for the 2000 Plus on the pages we read, so cycle life is not compared here.
