How we worked it out: 4,096 Wh × 0.85 ÷ 50 W average (1,000 W × 0.05 duty) = about 3 days. 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 Pro 3 run a well pump?
About 3 days from a full charge. A well pump averages about 50 W (1,000 W running, on about 5% of the time), and the 4,096 Wh battery gives about 3,482 Wh after inverter losses. That is 1.4% of the battery an hour.
Will the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 start a well pump?
Yes. It needs about 3,000 W for a moment when the pump starts, and the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 is rated for 8,000 W surge, 2.7 times that. Avoid starting other motors at the same moment.
How much of the battery does a well pump use in a day?
About 1,200 Wh a day (50 W × 24 hours), 34% of the 3,482 Wh the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 can deliver.
