The numbers
| Battery capacity | 4096Wh (LFP) |
|---|---|
| Usable energy | 3482Wh (85% via AC outlets) |
| Continuous AC output | 4000W |
| Surge rating | 8000W |
| Window AC (8,000 BTU) running watts | 700W |
| Startup watts | 2000W |
| Average draw | 490W |
| Estimated runtime | 7.1 hours |
| Energy per day of typical use | 3.9 kWh |
4096Wh × 0.85 = 3482Wh usable ÷ 490W average = 7.1 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 window AC (8,000 BTU) uses about 3.9 kWh a day at 8 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- Mid-size window units need a stout inverter to survive the compressor start.
- You’ll still have about 3300W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- 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.
