At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers weighing a compact LFP station against a higher-output NMC unit for home backup, camping, or emergency solar setups. The EcoFlow DELTA (Gen 1) delivers 1800W of running power and 3300W surge, giving it the muscle to handle 40 out of 53 tested devices. The Anker SOLIX C800 Plus covers 24 of those same 53 devices with its 1200W output and 1600W surge.
Battery capacity tells a similar story: the DELTA packs 1260 Wh versus 768 Wh in the C800 Plus, a roughly 64% advantage. Where the Anker unit fights back is longevity. Its LFP cells are rated for 3000 charge cycles, nearly four times the DELTA's 800-cycle NMC pack.
That tradeoff matters: picking the DELTA means more power now, while the C800 Plus stretches further across years of regular use.
