Design and portability: a true nomadic powerhouse
From the first contact with the EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max, what strikes you is not its power, but its simplicity. No flashy gadgets, just clean lines that look just as good in a living room as at the foot of a tent. EcoFlow seems to have chosen discretion... but beneath this sober appearance hides a solid machine.
During my tests, robustness stood out as a strong point. Between jolts in the trunk of the car, repeated handling, and the inevitable bumps of everyday life, the DELTA 2 Max doesn't flinch. The reinforced ports and the one-piece structure inspire confidence: you feel like you can really carry it around without fear of damaging it.
Practical and safety details complete the picture. The non-slip rubber base, for example, holds securely on wobbly tables or moving boat decks. And the UL94-5VA-certified flame-retardant housing provides welcome peace of mind: no one's going to test a battery fire, but knowing it's planned is reassuring.
As for carrying, the two fixed handles are sturdy and well-placed. While 23 kg is no small feat, it's still portable, especially compared to other 2 kWh models that are significantly heavier. In the field, this combination of power and portability is a real game-changer for camping or nomadic adventures.
After several extensive field tests, here is what we think: the DELTA 2 Max stands out as a battery that is robust, practical and truly portable.
Real-life performance: where it gets really interesting
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty. The DELTA 2 Max packs 2048 Wh, or 2 kWh of capacity. What does that mean? I was able to run my fridge for 5 full days during a home test. Pretty impressive for a portable station!
But what really blew me away was the power. At normal output, it delivers 2400W continuously, enough to power most household appliances without batting an eyelid. And with X-Boost mode, it goes up to 3100W. I tested it with my circular saw, my heat gun, and even my partner's hairdryer, yes, the one that uses crazy amounts of energy. Everything works without a hitch.
X-Boost isn't marketing hype: I've plugged in tools with violent startup spikes, the kind that trip circuit breakers at home. The result? The DELTA 2 Max takes it in stride. No more untimely interruptions and frustration on the job site.
In terms of connectivity, we're well served: 4 standard power outlets, USB-A (12W and 18W), 2 100W USB-C (ideal for laptops), cigarette lighter socket, and special DC ports. In total, 13 devices can be connected simultaneously: laptop, phones, tablet, camping fridge, LED lighting... no problems noted.
And the silence: only 30 dB! For comparison, it's quieter than my cat's purring. I ran it all night in the bedroom to power a medical device, and there was no noise. No more choosing between power and peace.
To give you an idea of the autonomies I measured:
| Characteristic | Detail |
|---|---|
| Capacity (base) | 2048 Wh (2 kWh) |
| Max expandable capacity | 6144 Wh (6 kWh) |
| AC (continuous) output | 2400 W |
| AC Output (X-Boost) | 3100 W |
Charging revolution: regain full power, quickly
This is probably one of the most impressive aspects of the DELTA 2 Max: its charging speed. You know those times when a power station takes hours to fill up and you're left driving around in circles? Forget all that.
Thanks to X-Stream technology, it accepts up to 2300W from a standard AC outlet. Result: I clocked 53 minutes to go from 0 to 80% on AC power alone. And if you combine AC and solar (2400W in total), it drops to 43 minutes. I admit, I checked several times, I couldn't believe it. A full charge from 0 to 100%? About 1 hour 20 minutes. Time to take a shower and a coffee, and your station is ready to go again. Practical in an emergency situation!
My full-scale test: power outage at 10 a.m. The DELTA 2 Max had been empty since a previous test. By 11:30 a.m., it was already at 80% capacity and powered the fridge, lighting, and internet box for the evening. Effective for handling the unexpected!
Solar energy that changes everything
Solar panels on power stations? Often slow and unpredictable. Here again, EcoFlow surprises. The DELTA 2 Max accepts up to 1000W of solar input with an MPPT efficiency of 99%. I tested it with 400W EcoFlow panels: a full charge in 2.5 hours in good weather. Even under cloudy skies, it works surprisingly well.
A big plus: the extended voltage range (11-60 V). Previously, with the DELTA Max, you had to be careful when connecting it. Now, it's much safer and simpler.
Practical use: Camping weekend in the Pyrenees with folding panels. Day 1: DELTA 2 Max at 100% in the morning, used all day for fridge, lighting and recharging devices. Panels deployed during the hike. Return in the evening: battery full. Total energy autonomy!
The nomadic load that saves
Charging from the cigarette lighter isn't fast, but on a road trip, it can help you regain a few percent. Tested on a 3-hour drive south: the DELTA 2 Max went from 35% to 55% while powering a laptop and several phones. And best of all, it can charge and power at the same time: no need to choose between use and recharge.
The detail that makes the difference: all these options (mains, solar, car) can be combined. The result: you always have a charging solution, wherever you are. This redundancy offers unparalleled peace of mind.
Finally, here are some concrete examples of autonomy that I noted during my tests:
| Device | Estimated consumption | Usage time on EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max |
|---|---|---|
| LED light | 4 Wh | 21 days |
| Smartphone | 8 W | 1 week or 143+ charges |
| Laptop | 80 W | 16 hours or MacBook (50Wh): 20 recharges |
| TV | 110 Wh | 6 p.m. or 3 p.m. |
This chart is essential because it translates the abstract watt-hour capacity into concrete, relevant usage times for everyday devices. It directly answers the user's fundamental question: "What can this battery do for my specific needs?" By providing tangible examples for home backup power, camping, or business use, it helps users visualize how the DELTA 2 Max can seamlessly integrate into their daily lives, making the product's value immediately clear and compelling.

When you pay a premium for a portable power station, you're not just looking for a device that works today, but a reliable solution for years to come. EcoFlow's DELTA 2 Max ticks all the boxes. With its lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery, it boasts impressive durability: up to 3,000 cycles at 80% or more of its original capacity. In practical terms, that's nearly ten years of daily use—six times more than comparable stations and four times more than its predecessor or conventional NCM batteries.
This longevity isn't just a number: it makes the DELTA 2 Max a true long-term investment. It reduces the total cost over time and, for environmentally conscious users, means less electronic waste. Fewer replacements, fewer discarded batteries, and therefore a reduced environmental impact.
But the robustness doesn't stop there. LFP technology is naturally more stable and less susceptible to overheating or thermal runaway. Combined with an integrated battery management system (BMS), the station continuously monitors voltage, current, and temperature to prevent incidents and extend its lifespan.
Added to this are tangible physical safeguards: a non-slip base to prevent accidents, a UL94-5VA certified flame-retardant casing, and clear instructions to avoid excessive heat, liquids, or strong magnetic fields. This multi-layered safety system combines active and passive protections: the BMS manages surges, overloads, overheating, and short circuits, while the casing physically protects the battery. The result: whether at home, on the go, or in a vehicle, the DELTA 2 Max can be used with complete peace of mind.
By choosing this station, EcoFlow isn't just offering a portable battery: it's a reliable, safe, and durable solution, designed to last.

Smart control at your fingertips: the EcoFlow app experience
The DELTA 2 Max is not only a powerful and durable portable power station, it is also surprisingly easy to control thanks to the EcoFlow app. Available in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, this app offers an intuitive interface that puts total control of the station at your fingertips. After a quick initial Bluetooth connection, the DELTA 2 Max can connect to Wi-Fi, allowing remote control via IoT. You can monitor in real time the operating status, charge level, battery temperature, remaining charge time, as well as the input power (solar or mains) and output of each port.
But the app goes far beyond simple monitoring. It offers numerous customization options to help you get the most out of your solar battery. You can adjust AC charging speeds, set custom charge and discharge ranges, and even schedule automatic charging or discharging periods. The "AC Always On" feature keeps AC outlets active even when the station goes into standby mode, which is useful for devices that require constant power. Additionally, the app sends notifications as soon as the battery drops below 20%, preventing unpleasant surprises.
Another highlight: intelligent energy management. It's possible to set a reserve threshold: if the battery falls below this level, it automatically recharges via mains and solar power to the desired level, then consumes only solar energy to optimize usage and reduce costs. The app also allows you to rename the device, share its control with other users via Wi-Fi, disable beeps, and update the firmware remotely. X-Boost mode is configurable from the app, preventing overloads on high-power devices even in bypass mode.
Of course, the experience isn't perfect. Some users have encountered Bluetooth connection issues, unexpected power outlet shutdowns, or difficult software updates. EcoFlow has made improvements—removing the location requirement for Android, for example—but some are hoping for even more flexibility, such as the ability to schedule entry times in addition to exit times.
Despite these few points, the EcoFlow app remains a major asset. It transforms using the DELTA 2 Max into a smart and personalized experience, offering precise remote control and optimized energy management. For those seeking convenience, efficiency, and safety, the app significantly enriches the overall experience of this portable power station.
Capacity expansion: scalability that adapts to all needs
What's immediately striking when testing the DELTA 2 Max is its ability to scale with your energy needs. With its base capacity of 2048 Wh, this station can reach up to 6144 Wh (6 kWh) thanks to the addition of two additional DELTA 2 Max or DELTA Max smart batteries. In the field, this modularity transforms the station from a simple portable unit into a true home backup system, capable of powering an entire family for several hours or even several days.
This scalability is a real asset for users whose needs may vary. Rather than immediately investing in a larger, more expensive unit, you can start with the base capacity and add additional batteries over time. In our tests, this flexibility has proven particularly practical: camping weekends, van life, or as a backup solution for the home. Being able to increase capacity without changing the entire system is both economical and practical, and adapts perfectly to evolving projects and lifestyles.
A few precautions, however: even though it is technically possible to connect two DELTA 2 Max units together, EcoFlow strongly advises against it, as it could damage both stations and void the warranty. Only DELTA 2 Max or DELTA Max smart supplementary batteries are compatible; DELTA 2 or DELTA Pro cannot be used. These details are essential to ensure safe use and avoid any problems.
Testing the DELTA 2 Max with its expansion options, it's clear that this portable power station and its integrated solar battery offer rare modularity, combining power, flexibility, and scalability. For those who want a system that can grow with their needs while maintaining the practicality of a compact and mobile station, this is a real plus.
Comparison with competition and previous models
The DELTA 2 Max represents a significant evolution over previous models, such as the DELTA Max 1600 W and 2000 W. The major change? The battery chemistry, which has moved from NCM to lithium iron phosphate (LFP). The result: more than 3,000 cycles and a lifespan approximately six times longer. For the user, this translates into a reliable, long-term station that reduces battery replacements and lowers environmental impact.
The DELTA 2 Max also holds its own against the competition. Take the Bluetti AC200P, for example: a similar 2,000 Wh capacity and decent versatility with its power outlets. The DELTA 2 Max stands out with faster charging, a slightly lighter weight, and a more intuitive interface. The user experience is less geeky and more fluid, making station and solar energy management accessible to everyone, without complex instructions.
The market is evolving rapidly, with new models and frequent updates. There are some technical points worth knowing: the maximum PV input voltage, often around 150 V, can limit the number or wiring of solar panels. Another detail: the DELTA 2 Max is quieter than the DELTA 2, which remained relatively noisy during field tests.
It's also worth considering feedback on previous models: some users experienced breakdowns after a year, difficulties with solar or mains charging, Bluetooth connection issues, or malfunctions with the USB and AC ports. Customer service was sometimes deemed slow. These points don't directly concern the DELTA 2 Max, but they demonstrate the brand's progress and the importance of continued vigilance.
Despite this, the DELTA 2 Max is widely praised by its users. Many describe it as “incredible,” with a size perfectly suited to everyday or mobile use. Its ability to quickly charge a 400W solar panel in a single day and power powerful appliances like a washing machine is notable.
