The numbers
| Battery capacity | 4096Wh (LFP) |
|---|---|
| Usable energy | 3768Wh (92% via 12V/USB DC output) |
| Continuous AC output | 4000W |
| Surge rating | 8000W |
| 12V car fridge running watts | 45W |
| Startup watts | 60W |
| Average draw | 18W |
| Estimated runtime | 8.7 days |
| Energy per day of typical use | 432Wh |
4096Wh × 0.92 = 3768Wh usable ÷ 18W average = 209.4 hours

Recharging with solar
The EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 accepts up to 2600W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 9.8 kWh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.
Solar can keep up. A 12V car fridge uses about 432Wh a day at 24 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- Compressor coolers like Dometic, ICECO and BougeRV plug into the 12V car port, which skips inverter losses entirely.
- Running it from the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3’s DC port instead of the AC outlet avoids inverter losses: about 287Wh more usable energy.
- The EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
