EcoFlow Delta 1300 Review
One of the best examples of cutting-edge lithium-ion technology are EcoFlow Delta portable solar power stations. The company manufactures plug-and-play solar power stations that keep a variety of appliances and devices running, from a cell phone or laptop, to an air conditioner or refrigerator.
The EcoFlow Delta 1300 is the ideal companion for camping trips and other off-grid adventures. Cheaper and more accessible than its more expensive version the EcoFlow Delta Pro, the Delta 1300 can power a wide range of useful devices, from a mobile phone, to an electric space heater, to an LED lantern. Best of all, the power station can be recharged using AC, DC and solar energy.
Why the EcoFlow Delta 1300?
The EcoFlow Delta 1300 portable power station and solar panel is our favorite tool to take on camping trips. It’s much more affordable compared to other brands like Yeti Goal Zero, compact, relatively lightweight and can manage a wide range of different devices.
What makes the EcoFlow Delta power station unique is that it can simultaneously charge up to 13 devices at a time, even while charging the solar generator itself. It also charges ten times faster than brands like the Yeti 1500X Goal Zero or Jackery 1000. The EcoFlow Delta 1300 battery can be charged by an ac power, 12v power or a solar panel.
The Delta 1300 can also act as a short-term power backup solution for an entire house. The EcoFlow Delta can charge large home appliances, like a 500-watt washing machine for 2 hours and a 120-watt television for 10+ hours.
The power station has an AC power output of 1800 watts, with an inverter surge capacity of 3300 watts. It can be charged using 110w solar panels made of aluminum with a silicon coating, which protects them from corrosion. The solar kit can store energy for up to three days without needing to be charged again.

The power station has an 1800 AC watt output and 3300-watt surge output, with a battery capacity of 1260wH. This makes it useful for those who need to charge multiple devices at once and for those who want a powerful backup power source for the whole house. Take an inventory of all the devices you’d like to power on the Delta 1300 and if your average calculated battery capacity is 1,800 watts or less, this portable power station will work great for you. If you’re unsure about how to choose the right battery capacity, read this article.
How fast can you charge the EcoFlow Delta 1300?
The power station has one of the fastest charging times on the market. If you have access to AC power, you can charge the EcoFlow Delta from 0 to 80% within 1 hour. If you are charging the device using solar power, it will take 4-5 hours.
Comparable power stations like the Yeti Goal Zero 1500X can take more than 15 hours to completely recharge.
How long will the EcoFlow Delta 1300 last?
The lifespan of the unit is projected to last for a minimum of 800 charge cycles. This means that the battery will recharge to 100% 800 times before the power station begins to degrade. The power station will still function after reaching 800 cycles, but the lithium battery will slowly lose strength over time.
- 8 hours usage per month – 96 hours per year – 8.3 years lifespan
- 16 hours usage per month – 192 hours per year – 4.1 years lifespan
- 32 hours usage per month – 384 hours per year – 2 years lifespan
- 64 hours usage per month – 768 hours per year – 1-year lifespan
For camping, using the device for 48 hours per month would roughly equate to camping for 6 days and using the device for 8 hours per day.
For home use, the EcoFlow Delta can be charged up to three times per day, which is more than enough to power an entire house. It can also be used as an emergency power backup system in case you’re traveling far away from home.
