BLUETTI
vs EcoFlow.
Two brands. Two comparable base units. Choose for your load, outage duration and complete system cost.
Start here: Elite 100 V2 and DELTA 3 Plus have the same rated energy and continuous AC output. Carry weight and expansion options help narrow the choice. The right model still depends on your setup.

DOES A 1 kWh BASE UNIT FIT?
Battery target640 Wh
Planning runtime / either base6.40 h
Raw energy0.48 kWh
Entered average load120 W
Target = W × hours ÷ 0.90 × 1.20.
Runtime = 1,024 Wh × 0.90 ÷ 1.20 ÷ W.
Assumes full charge, 90% efficiency and 20% planning margin. Equal calculated runtime does not establish equal tested performance. Check peak demand separately.

Charging claims use different endpoints: 80% versus full. They cannot establish a charging-speed winner. Transfer-time claims do not guarantee that every connected device will continue without rebooting. Solar wattage alone does not establish panel compatibility.

What Matters Most in Your Setup?
01 / CARRY OFTEN
Compare handling.
BLUETTI has the lower listed base-unit weight in this pair. Consider handle comfort, cables and panels too; your carried system includes more than the battery.
02 / GROW CAPACITY
Price the full configuration.
EcoFlow lists compatible extra-battery configurations. BLUETTI also lists accessory bundles including Charger 2, B300K and DC Hub. Verify how each exact arrangement supplies energy, required cables and usable output before comparing expanded totals.
03 / KEEP AN OFFICE RUNNING
Measure the entire desk.
Include monitors, router, laptop supply and other loads. Check transfer behavior and low-load timeouts with your equipment. A large inverter rating does not tell you how many hours the desk will run.
Capacity before brand preference
A Bigger Load Changes the Answer.
At 300 W for eight hours, the planning target is 3.20 kWh. Both base units fall below that energy budget. Compare a supported larger configuration or a reliable recharge plan.
TRY YOUR OWN LOAD ↑Before checkout
Compare the Complete Backup System.
01 / Energy & power
Wh determines stored energy. W determines the running power a source can deliver. Verify each appliance’s starting demand separately; do not count boost modes as ordinary continuous output.
02 / Recharge pathway
Check mains access during the outage, solar voltage/current limits, panel configuration and local daylight. Treat maximum input power as a limit, not a promise of all-day energy production.
03 / Expansion & ports
Confirm battery compatibility for the exact model and firmware, approved cables, accessory costs and connector requirements. Different add-on arrangements may have different operating limits.
04 / Delivered price
Compare the same market, taxes, shipping, required cables and warranty terms. For each base unit, price per rated Wh = delivered base-unit price ÷ 1,024. This metric does not measure efficiency or service quality.
Zaron methodology
Visible Assumptions. Editable Inputs.
Measure loadUse average watts for energy, with cycling loads measured over a representative period.W
Set durationChoose the hours that must be covered before a dependable recharge opportunity.h
Allow reserveDivide raw energy by 0.90 and add a 20% planning margin.Wh
Check powerVerify simultaneous running watts, startup demand and connection requirements separately.FIT
120 W × 4 h = 480 Wh raw energy
480 ÷ 0.90 × 1.20 = 640 Wh target
1,024 × 0.90 ÷ 1.20 ÷ 120 = 6.40 planning hours
480 ÷ 0.90 × 1.20 = 640 Wh target
1,024 × 0.90 ÷ 1.20 ÷ 120 = 6.40 planning hours
Efficiency and margin are planning assumptions, not measured model-specific results. Temperature, aging, inverter standby draw, device cycling and accessory losses can change runtime. No recharge or other loads are included. The tool compares base capacities only.

FAQ
Clear Answers Before You Buy.
Is BLUETTI better than EcoFlow?
Compare specific models for your requirements. This matched pair highlights handling and configuration differences; it cannot establish a winner across either entire brand.
Will both run my equipment for the same time?
The calculator gives the same estimate because the rated base capacity and assumptions are identical. Actual runtime requires measurement under the same load and conditions.
Does 1,800 W mean 1,800 Wh?
No. Watts describe power at a moment; watt-hours describe stored energy. A device can stay below the inverter’s power rating and still empty the battery before the planned duration.
Which charges faster?
The published claims shown here end at different charge levels. Compare identical starting charge, endpoint, charging mode and conditions before ranking speed.
Can I connect a panel from another brand?
Check the exact manual, voltage range, open-circuit voltage in cold weather, current limit, connectors and polarity. Brand name and panel wattage alone do not confirm compatibility.
Can either base unit back up a whole home?
Whole-home planning needs a load inventory, enough energy, suitable output and an approved connection arrangement. This base-unit energy comparison does not establish whole-home capability.
