How Long Will the EcoFlow Delta 2 Run an Electric Hot Plate?
Updated 2026-10-17 · Yes
About 1.2 hours. The EcoFlow Delta 2 stores 1024Wh, and an electric hot plate averages about 700W because it cycles on roughly 70% of the time. That’s enough for about 2 typical 30-minute uses.
The numbers
| Battery capacity | 1024Wh (LFP) |
|---|---|
| Usable energy | 870Wh (85% via AC outlets) |
| Continuous AC output | 1800W |
| Surge rating | 2700W |
| Electric hot plate running watts | 1000W |
| Startup watts | 1000W |
| Average draw | 700W |
| Estimated runtime | 1.2 hours |
| Energy per day of typical use | 350Wh |
1024Wh × 0.85 = 870Wh usable ÷ 700W average = 1.2 hours

Recharging with solar
The EcoFlow Delta 2 accepts up to 500W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 1.9 kWh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.
Solar can keep up. An electric hot plate uses about 350Wh a day at 0.5 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the EcoFlow Delta 2 can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- Coil hot plates cycle their element to hold the set temperature.
- You’ll still have about 800W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- The EcoFlow Delta 2 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.

FAQ
How long does the EcoFlow Delta 2 take to recharge with solar?
With its maximum 500W of solar input it refills in about 2.7 hours of strong sun. With a single 200W panel, expect about 6.8 hours of full sun.
