How Long Will It Run

How long will an EcoFlow DELTA 2 run a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween)?

About 12 hours — 12 h typically, from 11 h 18 min in the worst case to 12 h 43 min at best. That assumes a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) pulling 50 W continuously, plus the station's 12 W AC mains socket overhead — 62 W in total out of 744 usable watt-hours.

The fan runs the whole time it is standing up, so the hours it is on decide the cost.

  • 1.5 nights of eight hours, or 0.5 days of continuous running.
  • Usable energy: 744 Wh of the 1,024 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
  • To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 2,048 Wh of rated capacity — 2× this station.
  • Start-up: the garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) asks for 50 W at switch-on against this station's 2,700 W peak — comfortable.
