7–3 on shared published metrics
EcoFlow DELTA 3 vs oupes Mega 1
DELTA 3 leads on 7 of the 12 metrics both units publish; Mega 1 leads on 3; 2 are level or not directly comparable. Capacity is within 0%, so this is a like-for-like decision rather than a size mismatch.


Pick this if
EcoFlow DELTA 3
- Weight: 27.6 lb vs 27.8 lb
- List price: $629 vs $699
- Cost per watt-hour: $0.61 vs $0.68
- Watt-hours per pound: 37.1 Wh/lb vs 36.8 Wh/lb

Pick this if
oupes Mega 1
- Continuous AC output: 2,000 W vs 1,800 W
- Max solar input: 800 W vs 500 W
- Max expandable capacity: 5,120 Wh vs 5,000 Wh
Buyers who need maximum capacity for the least money and accept the trade-offs.
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 | Mega 1 | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 1,024 Wh | 1,024 Wh | How much energy the unit stores. Sets how long everything else can run. |
| Continuous AC output | 1,800 W | 2,000 W | The largest load the inverter will run continuously, not counting surge. |
| Weight lower is better | 27.6 lb | 27.8 lb | The spec buyers most often regret ignoring. |
| List price lower is better | $629 | $699 | Vendor list price at the time of collection; street prices move. |
| Cost per watt-hour lower is better | $0.61 | $0.68 | Price divided by capacity. The fairest single value metric. |
| Watt-hours per pound | 37.1 Wh/lb | 36.8 Wh/lb | Capacity you get per pound carried. |
| Max solar input | 500 W | 800 W | Caps how large an array is useful, and therefore off-grid recharge speed. |
| AC recharge time lower is better | 56 min | 58 min | Vendor-stated time to full from a wall outlet. |
| Rated cycles | 4,000 cycles | 3,500 cycles | Vendor claim for charge cycles before capacity degrades to 80%. |
| UPS switchover lower is better | 10 ms | 20 ms | How long the unit takes to switch to battery. Under 20 ms keeps a desktop alive. |
| Max expandable capacity | 5,000 Wh | 5,120 Wh | How far the system can grow with add-on batteries. |
| Warranty | 60 months | 60 months | Stated warranty length from the vendor listing. |
