How we worked it out: 1,024 Wh × 0.85 ÷ 26 W average (80 W × 0.33 duty) = about 33 hours. The 0.85 covers inverter and battery losses. We do not test units ourselves; the numbers come from the official spec sheets and typical device draws. How we pick

Common questions

How long will the EcoFlow DELTA 3 run a chest freezer?
About 33 hours from a full charge. A chest freezer averages about 26 W (80 W running, on about 33% of the time), and the 1,024 Wh battery gives about 870 Wh after inverter losses. That is 3% of the battery an hour.
Will the EcoFlow DELTA 3 start a chest freezer?
Yes. It needs about 700 W for a moment when the compressor starts, and the EcoFlow DELTA 3 is rated for 3,600 W surge, 5.1 times that. Avoid starting other motors at the same moment.
How much of the battery does a chest freezer use in a day?
About 634 Wh a day (26 W × 24 hours), 73% of the 870 Wh the EcoFlow DELTA 3 can deliver.
