We're really looking forward to checking out EcoFlow's revised and expanded version of the Delta 1300, the EcoFlow Delta Max. We'll look at some of the fascinating accessories EcoFlow revealed accompanying the Delta Max, in addition to reviewing the upcoming EcoFlow Delta Max.

 

What Does EcoFlow Delta Max Brings?

EcoFlow Delta Max has a powerful MPPT charge controller and a high-efficiency power inverter, we've grown to anticipate these features from EcoFlow solar generators. Some of the new features of the Delta Max pique our interest:

1. EPS Mode (Emergency Power Supply):

When your main power source fails, the Delta Max will automatically switch to EPS Mode. This is extremely useful for anyone interested in emergency backup power.

Whether you're worried about natural disasters or just want to make sure that power outages and grid failures don't disrupt your daily routine, this new feature is a significant upgrade over prior EcoFlow generators.

 

2. Expandability of the Battery:

As previously stated, the Delta Max has been built to accommodate two more batteries, bringing the overall storage capacity to 6,028Wh.

Given that the Delta Max's battery capacity would increase to roughly five times that of the Delta 1300, this is a very helpful feature!

Because the Delta Max is Wi-Fi enabled, it may be used with EcoFlow's easy-to-use mobile app. From the charge output and input information to the brightness of the LCD panel, you can monitor it all from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

It also means that the Delta Max is compatible with the new EcoFlow Smart Generator, which can efficiently and automatically charge your solar generators using gasoline when they need a boost, as we'll discuss in more detail.

 

4. X-Boost Charging:

You can charge connected gadgets more faster with X-Boost than you could with a traditional solar generator. The Delta Max can also be fully charged quickly thanks to X-Boost technology and 3,600W dual charging capability.

Using a conventional AC wall plug-in, a full recharge may be completed in about 1.8 hours! These speeds are amazing, especially considering that generators with equivalent battery capacities can take up to 8 hours to charge.

Whether you use a wall outlet, a car charging port, or solar power to charge your Delta Max, it will do it swiftly and effectively.

 

EcoFlow Delta Max Description

The Delta Max is usually used as a backup power supply for emergencies, but it is very versatile, just like its predecessor, the Delta 1300, making it a viable option for anyone seeking electricity in off-grid scenarios.

Primary Use:

1. Home Backup Power (Expandable)

A single DELTA Max unit has a capacity of 2kWh, which may be increased to 6kWh with DELTA Max smart additional batteries. This implies that even if there is a blackout, you may keep running your essential home devices like your refrigerator and lights for hours.

 

2. Fast and Convenient Dual Charging

DELTA Max charges from 0 to 80 percent safely and quickly in under 65 minutes. It only gets better from there. If you want to charge DELTA Max even faster, you can combine AC with the smart generator for up to 3600W, AC with solar for up to 2600W, or the Smart Generator with solar for up to 2600W.

3. 99% of your Home's Electronics will be Powered.

DELTA Max can power heavy-duty devices up to 3400W thanks to EcoFlow's X-Boost technology. That means you can keep running your refrigerator, dryer, and other appliances even if there is a power outage or blackout. For a portable power station of this size and capacity, this is the industry standard.

 

4. Utilize the Solar Power.

DELTA Max may be connected to up to two 400W EcoFlow solar panel for a total of 800W Max solar charging. Other solar panel can be connected to your DELTA Max using the MC4 connector and a voltage range of 11-100V. Our clever maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system detects voltage and current in real time, even on cold or cloudy days, to provide you with optimal solar generation throughout the day.

 

5. Emergency Backup Power.

Disasters can strike at any time of year, and they might persist far longer than we think. When extended blackouts occur, the EcoFlow Smart Generator, which is compatible with DELTA Max, acts as a backup option. It auto-starts when your DELTA Max reaches a low charge level, recharges your DELTA Max, and shuts off the engine on its own when your DELTA Max reaches a full charge level. This gives you a dependable emergency backup alternative that uses a generator sparingly.

 

6. Control and Track your Energy Consumption.

The EcoFlow app allows you to control and monitor your DELTA Max. DELTA Max may be controlled remotely or you can customize your power usage by diving into the settings.

 

What You Should Know About Its Batteries:

Battery Capacity:

When we looked at the Delta Max, the first thing we noticed was its impressive battery capacity. The Delta Pro has a 2,016Wh deep-cycle solar battery built in, which is a major improvement over the Delta 1300's 1,260Wh battery.

While the larger battery is a significant improvement, EcoFlow has also made both the Delta Max and Delta Pro extendable.

So, by adding two small and inexpensive battery packs, you can boost the Delta Max's already amazing battery capacity to a whopping 6,028Wh! The Delta Max can charge and run several fairly demanding electric equipment even without extending the internal battery.

A Delta Max could run a 32-inch LCD television for over three days, power a full-sized refrigerator for nearly two days, charge a normal laptop over 60 times, or power a full-sized refrigerator for about two days. Furthermore, increasing the battery's capacity might potentially triple these values!

 

Battery Life Expectancy:

Given that EcoFlow built the Delta Max to provide stable power during crises such as grid breakdowns and natural disaster-related power outages, it's no surprise that the battery has a long shelf life.

Simply said, shelf life refers to the amount of time a battery can be charged before it loses its charge due to natural draining. While all batteries lose power over time, higher-quality batteries can maintain their charge for longer.

For those who want to use their generator as a source of emergency or backup power, shelf life is critical, as you want a unit that can charge your appliances and electronic gadgets when you need it.

With a shelf life of over a year, owners can store the Delta Max for a year and expect the unit to still have a charged battery if their home's power goes out.

 

Battery Life Cycle:

The Delta Max's internal battery is rated for over 800 life cycles, in addition to its exceptional capacity and shelf life. The total number of times you may charge and discharge the battery before its storage capacity begins to deteriorate is calculated by the life cycle rating.

When compared to the industry standard, the number of life cycles of 800+ is quite excellent. Before reaching 800 charge cycles, most solar generators begin to lose some of their storage capacity. It's also worth mentioning that a cycle refers to a complete charge followed by a complete discharge, so partially discharging the battery won't have the same effect as a full cycle.

You could only utilize a portion of the battery rather than completely draining it, and the difference in battery life would be negligible.
