Instant buy if you're on the Texas power grid.

Together this thing can deliver 7200Wh and charge at 3200w of solar. But without solar panels its still charged from the grid. A 1000w heater would last 7 hrs, and that a heater big enough for 1 room. The pros are going for around 1600 right now on ebay.

Wouldn't an inverter generator be better than these batteries? How long do these batteries actually last?

Is this something to consider if I want to use during peak times? Charge through the day, then turn on during peak hours, then back to the grid in the late evening. Can this be done automatically?

Sure.
The simplest way is to use a smart plug between the Delta Pro and the wall outlet and program the plug to turn on and charge the unit during off-peak hours.

The more sophisticated way is by connecting your Delta Pros into your electrical panel either by way of a transfer switch or the Ecoflow Smart Home panel.

Currently, I run all my 120v home office loads connected via power strip directly to a single Delta Pro. The unit gets recharged nightly during extreme off peak times using an Alexa-enabled Kasa plug.

Things to keep in mind:
There is no programmable smart charging in the Delta Pro itself. If it has AC power connected, it will both charge its own battery while also providing AC pass-through power to any connected AC devices. Thus the need for a smart plug to control when the Delta Pro itself charges from the grid.

Payback is highly dependent on the cost differential between TOU rates.

You'll need to use as much of the capacity of the units as possible to maximize any savings. But make sure you don't run out of battery storage and thus shut down your connected AC devices.

You need to factor in the 30-40 watt constant draw of the Delta Pro's self consumption when the AC converter is active. This adds up and reduces the available energy.

You'll still see some significant conversion losses since the process is AC to DC for storage and then back to AC for consumption.

Also keep in mind that you can feed up to 1600 watts of solar to each unit to lower power costs even further (if adding Solar is feasible in your situation).

Hope that helps

if you need 240 VAC, then Ultra.

Ultra is not as portable as Pro.

my main use is, emergency power sharing.

I can move a Pro into a car by myself.

I don't think i can move Ultra alone,
i need 2 person at least.

Does this qualify for a 30% energy tax break?

So how is a $4500 battery pack that will only last for 7 years superior to a $700 - 10kW generator that runs off of propane (or gas)?
