At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers choosing between two expandable LFP power stations that sit at very different points on the capacity and portability spectrum. The Delta Pro Ultra delivers 6,000W of running power and 6,144 Wh of capacity, roughly doubling the Explorer 2000 Plus on both counts. It also handled 52 of 53 tested devices compared to 47 for the Jackery unit, giving it noticeably broader real-world device coverage.
Solar input tells a similar story: the EcoFlow accepts up to 5,600W of panel input versus 1,400W for the Explorer 2000 Plus. The tradeoff is weight and maneuverability. At 61.5 lbs, the Jackery is about one-third the mass of the 182.1 lb Delta Pro Ultra, making it far easier to load into a vehicle or reposition around a campsite.
Buyers who need sheer output for whole-home backup will lean one way; those prioritizing portability will lean the other.
