Specs side by side
| Spec | EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 | Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 4,096 Wh[source]Manual: 'Rated Capacity | 4096Wh 51.2V⎓ 80Ah'. | 5,040 Wh[source]Tech Specs: 'Capacity 45Ah/112V DC (5040 Wh)'. |
| Usable capacity (measured) | 3,650 Wh[source]The Solar Lab: ran a 3,650 W load for '60 minutes at this near-maximum load, translating to about 89% efficiency' (~3,650 Wh, calculated from their load and runtime; 89% of 4096 = 3,645 Wh). Voltage (120/240 V) not stated. Other result: OutdoorGearLab measured 3,790 Wh AC (93%) (outdoorgearlab.com best power station roundup). WhatPowerFor lists 3,950 Wh but its method is unclear and it was not used. | Not publishedNo independent measured test found (searched 2026-10-19: outdoorgearlab, thesolarlab, cnet, wirecutter, techradar, general web). thesolarlab.com, batteryskills.com and offgridbenchmark.com give rated capacity or load tests only, no measured Wh. |
| AC continuous output | 4,000 W[source]Manual (US): 'Discharge Only: 120V~60Hz 4000W total (surge 8000W); 120/240V~60Hz 4000W total (surge 8000W)'. Product page: '4000W, 6000W with X-boost'. | 7,200 W[source]Tech Specs: 'AC Total Output 7200W Max, 14400W Surge'. The four 120V NEMA 5-20 outlets give '3600W Max' together (manual: '(AC1+AC2) Output 120V, 30A, 3600W Max', same for AC3+AC4); 7200W needs the 240V outlets. |
| AC surge output | 8,000 W[source]Manual: '4000W total (surge 8000W)'. Product page: 'AC Surge Output 8000W'. | 14,400 W[source]Tech Specs: '7200W Max, 14400W Surge'. |
| 240 V output | Yes[source]Manual (US): 'High-voltage / Split phase: 1× NEMA L14-30R, 120V/240V~16.7A'. Product FAQ: 'it can perform split-phase output as a standalone unit', but not at the same time as the 120 V outlets. | Yes[source]The unit itself outputs split phase: 'AC Output ... (1x) NEMA L14-30R/14-50：120V/240V~60Hz, 30A, 7200W Max'. Manual: 'NEMA L14-30R AC Output Port (120V/240V)'. The manual also notes the L14-30R and 14-50 outputs 'cannot be used in Bypass mode' in some configurations. |

| AC charging | 1,800 W[source]Manual (US) AC input: 'Charge Only: 100-240V~15A 50/60Hz'. 1800 W is 15 A × 120 V (calculated, not stated as watts). At 240 V the same 15 A rating allows more; the EcoFlow FAQ says the US grid port 'only supports AC 120V 2000W charging', and the separate AC POWER IN/OUT port accepts '100/200V-120/240V~20A'. | Not publishedNo wattage stated officially. Tech Specs: 'Charge Mode AC Input 120V~60Hz, 15A Max'; 'AC Expansion Port (Input) 240V~60Hz, 16.7A Max'; 'AC Adapter 3.5 Hours'. |
| Max solar input | 2,600 W[source]Product page: 'Solar Charging Input 2600W total, 2 ports'. | 4,000 W[source]Page: 'Compatible with both high- and low-voltage solar panels, recharge in about 2 hours with up to 4000W input'. The spec table gives no total solar wattage: 'High-PV 135V-450V⎓15A Max'; 'Low-PV 2 x DC 8mm Ports; 16V-60V⎓10.5A Max, Double to 21A/1200W Max'. Doubtful: the 4000W sentence does not say solar only. |

Runtime on one charge
Runtime = usable capacity ÷ average draw, the same formula for both models (no idle draw added to either), after checking continuous output and startup surge. Usable capacity is an independent test's measured figure, or 80% of rated where none exists. See the methodology.
