Spec by spec
A green arrow marks the better figure on each row. Rows where only one unit publishes a number are shown without a winner rather than guessed.
| Metric | DELTA 3 Max Plus | Mega 2 | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 2,048 Wh | 2,048 Wh | How much energy the unit stores. Sets how long everything else can run. |
| Continuous AC output | 3,000 W | 2,500 W | The largest load the inverter will run continuously, not counting surge. |
| Weight lower is better | 48.7 lb | 48.5 lb | The spec buyers most often regret ignoring. |
| List price lower is better | $1,199 | $729 | Vendor list price at the time of collection; street prices move. |
| Cost per watt-hour lower is better | $0.59 | $0.36 | Price divided by capacity. The fairest single value metric. |
| Watt-hours per pound | 42.1 Wh/lb | 42.2 Wh/lb | Capacity you get per pound carried. |
| Max solar input | — | 2,100 W | Caps how large an array is useful, and therefore off-grid recharge speed. |
| Rated cycles | — | 3,500 cycles | Vendor claim for charge cycles before capacity degrades to 80%. |
| UPS switchover lower is better | — | 20 ms | How long the unit takes to switch to battery. Under 20 ms keeps a desktop alive. |
| Max expandable capacity | 10,000 Wh | 10,240 Wh | How far the system can grow with add-on batteries. |
| Warranty | 60 months | 60 months | Stated warranty length from the vendor listing. |
