The app also gives you traditional customization options like disabling the beeps during mode switching, unit and screen timeout, as well as AC plug timeout. For a remote excursion, you might not want the AC ports staying on if you accidentally forget to switch them off. For a home office UPS use case though you would want to leave the AC ports on always. You can also view and update firmware through the app, which is handy to keep things current in terms of lifecycle management. The DELTA mini solar generator can be charged in different ways. This is fastest via the mains adapter. The device has a fast charge input of 900 W via mains power and can therefore be fully charged within 2 hours (for 80% in 1 hour). The DELTA mini can be charged via solar panels within 4-6 hours in good weather conditions. The maximum input for this is 300 W. Clear and easy to use display of the DELTA Mini In an IT setting, having power on hand even for mobile devices is an important role. Many workstation-class notebooks draw power at a fast pace and running off its battery can have limits on CPU and GPU performance. Connecting to a power source for short to intermediate usage can help get the job done faster or keep systems going that would otherwise drain rapidly on internal batteries. Then pile on non-battery-powered accessory devices like networking switches, shared storage devices for collaboration, or even external monitors where an external AC power source becomes a requirement to keep things running. If you’re looking for something more robust, a higher capacity power station that can keep your refrigerator or other household appliances running, stay tuned. I have a review of the full-sized EcoFlow Delta power station (as well as the company’s portable solar panels) coming shortly. Overall the unit is very stiff, and I think it could take a beating, though perhaps not quite as much of a beating as a Goal Zero Yeti.
If portability is the most important thing you’re looking for, the EcoFlow DELTA mini is a perfect portable power option. Quite literally, a mini power station, it comes in at around 10.7kg. That’s power you can take with you anywhere. Fast Charging: 900W X-Stream Charge With that high of an output, the Delta Mini is able to power items like a hand saw or an electric skillet without any issues.Fully charging my iPad Air used about 6% of the DELTA mini's capacity and took under 1.5 hours. Brad Moon The EcoFlow DELTA mini is a 1400W Portable Power Station with a battery capacity of 882Wh. It supports peak power draws up to 2100W, and also has an X-boost mode for certain power-hungry devices that are less sensitive to power quality that increases the 1400W capabilities up to 1800W. This puts its power capabilities closer to that of a gas generator than most rechargeable systems on the market. See exactly how many watts are coming into fine-tune your solar setup. See how many minutes are left to manage your usage better. The display is full of information to let you know what’s happening. Twelve outlets EcoFlow offers extensive remote management capabilities for their compatible devices, spanning from RIVER and DELTA series Power Stations to Smart Home Panels and Smart Generators. The app provides a centralized way to monitor and control your device, no matter if you are 5 feet from it or miles away. It does that through its own Wi-Fi hotspot or connecting to a known wireless network in range. From that, it interfaces locally or remotely through EcoFlow’s cloud platform. You can monitor various functions of the DELTA Mini Portable Battery Generator easily and clearly thanks to the easy-to-read digital display. Functions such as charging status, how long to fully charged, run time when in use, as well as a timer. As well as the temperature of the unit.
the installed gross capacity of the photovoltaic system does not exceed or will not exceed 30 kilowatts (peak), according to the Marktstammdatenregister. DELTA mini’s technical specs for solar input are 300W, 11–75V DC, and 10A max. In practical terms, you can connect multiple solar panels in series (i.e., connecting one panel directly to the next) as long as their combined open-circuit voltage doesn’t go over 75V. Can I Use It as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)? Another test I use to measure output is to connect a 4W desk lamp and record a time-lapse video of how long the lamp stays powered on. When it was all said and done, the desk lamp stayed lit up for 46 hours and 14 minutes. That’s the second-best showing out of all the power stations I’ve tested, putting it behind just the GoalZero Yeti 1000x, which achieved a staggering 111 hours and 29 minutes. The settings area is equally impressive, opening more functionality that will be appreciated by those using the DELTA mini on a more regular basis. For increasing longevity, or just not wanting to deplete the unit out in the field, EcoFlow lets you set the discharge and charge percentage levels. By default, this is 0 to 100%, but you can tighten that up to narrow the charge cycles for increased battery longevity. Bumping up the discharge from 0% also lets you set a built-in reserve. Portable power stations are designed to be light. Use them at home, throw them in your car, and carry them around during off-grid trips. TheEcoFlow DELTAis no exception to the rule, weighing in at approximately 14kg and sporting a simple grip design for easy carrying. Fast Charging: 1200W X-Stream ChargeYes, DELTA mini can be charged from solar panels, which is how many people understand solar generators. Call it what you will, but we prefer the term portable power station because DELTA mini doesn’t generate energy internally. As part of a solar panel kit, solar energy will be generated, so calling it a solar generator also works. Will It Recharge From Third-party Solar Panels? We took the crowd-fave’d, critic-raved DELTA portable power station and shrunk it down for a different kind of adventurer. For those who want to take 882Wh anywhere they go, here are some answers to your most popular questions. How Many Solar Panels Can I Hook Up to It? Having power on tap in any situation is a valuable asset, which is why this Portable Power Station market is growing as fast as it is. The DELTA mini offers 1400W of power (2100W peak) under normal usage giving you a lot of power without compromises. To put this in comparison, most household devices are designed around a 1400-1500W peak limit to fit the 15A breaker size found in most homes and businesses. This puts the DELTA mini in the sweet spot of covering most items that can connect into a common plug, and many bigger draw items that don’t care about power quality when running in X-Boost 1800W mode. The input side is more basic but focuses on the power supplied by either DC sources (Solar and automotive) or AC. They also give a real-time moving chart of the current incoming or outgoing load, although it starts from scratch if you switch views or exit and re-enter the app view. A historical view would be nice, although honestly, it’s still impressive to have this much monitoring presented from the system regardless.
Whether you call it a portable power station or a solar generator, they are fundamentally battery-powered devices. Another thing to look out for is the battery chemistry and battery management system they use. EcoFlow portable power stations all have a unique battery management system that regulates current, voltage, and temperature in real-time. The type of battery chemistry will depend on the type of application you use your battery for. For example, LFP batteries, such as those found in the new EcoFlow DELTA Pro portable home battery, are designed to give you the most battery life cycles for years. Other DELTA series portable power stations sport NCM batteries, which favour smaller, lighter, and more portable setups.

Sure! But make sure the combined wattage of your electronics doesn’t go over 1400W unless you want to use X-Boost. What is X-Boost?
There are only two buttons on the front of the case, a big yellow on/off button as well as an IoT reset button. On and off is pretty obvious, while the IoT button allows you to configure remote access. The DELTA mini has a feature-rich app that really makes it stand out from other models on the market, which we will get into shortly. Finally, the front includes a USB-C port, two USB A ports and a fast-charge USB-A port.
We make the world’s fastest recharging portable power stations, and it was time for something heavy-duty and super easy to carry. DELTA mini has enough capacity for a mini-fridge at a garden party, plus everyone’s phones. It’s powerful enough to run most corded power tools while recharging the cordless ones. DELTA mini’s 882Wh capacity While both draw inspiration from bigger models, the two are quite different. DELTA mini’s 882Wh capacity and 1400W output make it ideal for powering multiple power tools, special equipment, and electronics at once. The River 2 has less capacity (just 256Wh) and output (300W) because it’s much smaller and much lighter (7.7 lbs). How Long Does It Last? In edge IT deployments standing up equipment for initial configuration may mean supplying your own power for a while. Here the DELTA mini can be leveraged to get servers operational for a period of time before you get them wired into their final production environment. We tested the DELTA mini with the 3-node Supermicro Edge IoT server, which had no problem standing it up in our lab.
