Technical: **Voltage:** 120V AC required. **Running load:** 690W. **Surge:** 3335W at startup (compressor-driven). Only power stations with inverter surge capacity โ‰ฅ3335W and continuous output โ‰ฅ690W are candidates.

Field note: Verify the power station's surge window duration. Short-duration surge ratings may not accommodate refrigerant compressor startup transients reliably.

Can I run this dehumidifier on a portable power station overnight?

Only if your power source can supply at least 690W continuous and 3335W surge at 120V. It depends on the station's surge capacity and battery size.

Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 690 W. **Surge demand:** 3,335 W at compressor start. Requires 120V AC output. Power station must deliver the full surge envelope without tripping overcurrent protection.

Field note: Ensure your power station's inverter can handle the 3,335 W surge without shutdown. Verify outlet capacity exceeds continuous draw.

Can I run this dehumidifier on a portable power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 690W continuous and 3335W surge at 120V. Most portable units cannot meet the surge requirement.

Technical: **Running load:** 860W. **Surge:** 2580W at startup. Requires 120V AC output. Power station must sustain 860W continuous and handle 2580W compressor inrush without tripping.

Field note: Size the power station to at least 125% of running load (1075W minimum output) to avoid nuisance shutdowns during concurrent household draw.

Can I run this dehumidifier overnight on a portable power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 860W continuous and 2580W surge at 120V. Most portable units lack sufficient capacity for full-day basement moisture control.

Installation warning

These systems are often hardwired to a home panel. To run them from a portable station, you may need a transfer switch installed by an electrician. You cannot just plug it in.

Generator Insights

The 4800 W surge can support typical startup loads for refrigerators, well pumps, and air compressor motors that require momentary inrush current. The 2048 Wh capacity provides extended runtime for moderate continuous loads. This configuration can handle brief motor starts while sustaining steady power delivery for home backup scenarios.

This unit uses LFP chemistry, which offers a different thermal profile than older lithium chemistries. The manufacturer provides operational guidelines in their documentation.

Technical Analysis

Spec-Based โ€ข No Guarantees

Technical Breakdown

Running load: 860 W continuous. Surge demand: 3335 W at compressor startup. Voltage: 120 V AC required. Power station must handle the surge margin and sustain the load for the intended duration.

Expected Behavior

Estimated runtime: ~1.7h. Operates 24 hours per day drawing approximately 20640 Wh daily. Compressor cycles cause brief high-current transients during startup then settles to steady draw.

Field Note

Verify the power station inverter rating exceeds 3335 W surge capacity. Undersized units will trip during compressor kick-in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max power a Dehumidifier (70 Pint)?

Yes. The EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max provides 2400W running / 4800W surge. The Dehumidifier (70 Pint) needs 1075W / 4169W (including 25% buffer). That leaves 1325W of running headroom and 631W of surge margin.

How long will the DELTA 2 Max run a Dehumidifier (70 Pint)?

Approximately 1.7 hours, based on the Dehumidifier (70 Pint)'s 860W draw and the DELTA 2 Max's 2048Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).

What Else Can You Run?

With 960W allocated to the Dehumidifier (70 Pint), the DELTA 2 Max still has ~100W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
