How Long Will It Run

How long will an EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 run a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween)?

About 1.8 days — 42 h 32 min typically, from 40 h 1 min in the worst case to 45 h 2 min at best. That assumes a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) pulling 50 W continuously, plus the station's 20 W AC mains socket overhead — 70 W in total out of 2,977 usable watt-hours.

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

  • 5.3 nights of eight hours, or 1.77 days of continuous running.
  • Usable energy: 2,977 Wh of the 4,096 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
  • To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 2,312 Wh of rated capacity — which this station has.
  • Start-up: the garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) asks for 50 W at switch-on against this station's 8,000 W peak — comfortable.
