Note that this is an old model and is not with LiFePO4 battery. The Delta 2 has around 4x charging cycle and much longer warranty.

Note that this only matters if you're going to be using this all day every day. If you're wanting something for an occasional backup, don't waste your money on LifePo4 just because it's the newest thing.

This model, if discharged one time per week, would last you 15 years before it would degrade to an 80% max charge (800 cycles / 52 weeks per year = 15+ years).

The phrase "Is it LiFePO4" is the new "does it have HDMI?"
It gets brought up every time without discussion the benefits and downsides of each chemistry. While its great for consistent, heavy use, I dont recommend it for most peoples portable backup solutions.
In addition to your very valid point, this chemistry is also far less energy dense than standard lithium, making the battery heavier and larger in comparison.
Both have their merits, and need to be decided individually. I went with a standard lithium EF Delta MAX.

LMAO, can never have enough "No HDMI?? No deal" Applause.


Thank you both for your insights re: cycles, chemistry, etc. I don't think I'll be buying one of these for a while. No need, have a small Honda generator, stable power, etc. But some day will set up a 10-20kW solar array, and will almost certainly look in to battery storage. So thanks for sharing your info. So much good stuff to learn!

Long term safety is a factor in choice as well.

This is an item that will be placed somewhere out of the way and rarely touched for many including myself, so I want to know it is ultra stable. Lithium batteries when they fail, while it rarely happens, do so catastrophically. LiFePo4 batteries don't.

The LiFePO4 batteries can tolerate better in deep cycling than the old batteries meaning you have a higher usable capacity. Anyway, the 5 years vs 2 years warranty alone worth the extra cost of the new model. Not to mention the much faster charging rate too. With the much faster charging speed and 3000+ charging cycle, one can put part of the house (such as the garage) off grid to make real use of it. With your one charging cycle per week, most of the energy is wasted in standby mode. With the ~1000W capacity, it does not last very long if you run anything on it as the inverter and controller consume around 15-25W already. For any real usage, it would be likely a daily recharge.

LiFePO4 is safer
LiFePO4 handles heat much better. (throw in your car or garage worry free)
LiFePO4 has MUCH better life cycle
LiFePO4 does not have Cobalt

LiFePO4 is not as energy dense.

The way I see it, the safety alone makes LiFePO4 worth the tradeoff over energy density.

Problem is, in the scenario where people only use it for emergency backup, people also tend to tuck it away when it's not needed, like in the attics or garage (and often plugged in too). Safety plays a big part in that scenario, so I'd recommend LiFePo4 which is more stable.

The only case I can see LiFePo4 is at disadvantage is when you need mobility, like when you go on camping trips and do other outdoor activities, recharge your e-bike, drone, pump your sup board...etc.

LifePO4 is awesome! Every thread like this I post about my $6000 48V system I built using server rack batteries and how much better I am for paying so much for it! It's pretty cool and I'm still paying for the damn thing.

... but... I also have this Ecoflow Delta and it's awesome, esp at this price which is $200 less than what I paid for mine. I've used it on many random trips and it charges plenty fast on a wall charger or the inverter I hooked up to my car.

I've yet to see mass explosions and degradation of batteries but I would've happily paid this price!

LiFePO4 is good but I think the electronic will probably go bad before you can run down the battery

the 90 minute full recharge of something like their newer delta 2 model is the most needed and not known if needed feature, of ecoflow's new product. plus the delta 2 model is expandable with two other extra battery options. win win.

a rarely discussed potential fact.
