The EcoFlow DELTA 3 is the 1kWh pick for buyers who want room to grow. EcoFlow lists 1,024Wh of LFP capacity, 1,800W across six AC outlets with a 3,600W surge, and X-Boost for devices up to 2,200W. A 1,500W AC input fills it from empty in 56 minutes, and it also charges from 500W of solar, EcoFlow's 800W Alternator Charger or a Smart Generator. The main reason to choose it over the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 is expansion: it accepts DELTA 3, DELTA Pro 3, DELTA 2 and DELTA 2 Max extra batteries for up to 5kWh. EcoFlow also lists a 5-year warranty, 4,000 cycles to 80% capacity, an IP65 battery pack and a UPS switchover under 10 ms. At $579 on sale it costs about $0.57 per Wh and weighs 27.6 lbs, so it is a little pricier and heavier than the Anker. We compared documented features and published prices only.
