FYI this is the 268wh version vs the standard 286wh version. They are functionally identical just with different capacities.

I know there aren't a lot of people that like to use the TikTok shop, but they've been selling this one over there regularly for $189 and during 'flash sales' dropping it to $159. They ship direct from ecoflow and are listed under the stores 'ecoflow technology Inc' and 'ecoflow us official'. There was a TikTok store coupon as well and I bought 2 of these for $240 total last week. Worth a check if you use tiktok.

Im using them as UPS units. Got one behind my work desktop computer and the other behind my modem/router/switch/NAS. Tested pulling the power yesterday and the desktop+3 monitors showed est 56 min run time, the networking equipment showed est 5 hours run time. They were a bit stinky at first but the smell dissipated after a day.

I can confirm the stinkiness. I bought the original 286wh to replace UPS at work and the whole office stinks for a few days. Besides that, it works great as a UPS.

ha I didn't even notice they were playing games like that with 268 vs 286

but it's the newer inverter and mppt inside that counts, both those battery sizes are too small to be useful for anything but blink protection

the idea is to add a mega battery via the xt60 port, ie. a $100 100amp x 12v ecoworthy

Yeah typically if you wait till one of those channels go live they have a bigger discount. They do it a couple times a week in the evening.

I think the price I got was a glitch on their coupon during one of their live sales. It was $229 with $40 off in cart to bring it to $189 but when you added 2 it jumped to -$190 and stacked with a tiktok 5% off coupon. Changing it to 3 removed all discounts and made it $700 lol.

But can you set it so the battery on xt60 doesn't pull energy first but only in a grid down or ups function?

I read the switchover time was "not fast enough" for a "real UPS" is that not true for practical use?

Really would like to pick up a ecoflow delta pro for several ~week long camping trips, and if I could use it as a UPS when not camping, that would Really help justify the costs for me.

Anyone have feedback on the ability, or lack thereof for UPS duties for computers?
Would hook a Mac studio a couple monitors and networking devices. Would specific models be viable for that task?

If you're talking about the original delta pro the fan noise will drive you nuts

Yep. The Delta Pro 3 (4kWh big boy 120/240v inverter), and Delta 3 Plus (1kWh) are much, much quieter units than their predecessors.

Edit cause I missed that you said the Delta PRO: only their 3 line (d3 plus, d3 pro, river 3 plus) advertise 10ms UPS cutover. The Delta 2, delta pro, river 2 all advertise as an EPS (emergency power supply) >20ms and won't work for desktops without them shutting down.

So you feel the 10ms is sufficient then I take it, just read several comments that seemed skeptical and quoted a lower switching time was "required". So asking for feedback and to learn more on the topic.

For my specific use case, plan to keep the unit in an adjacent service room, as I really enjoy a low noise threshold...

With the noise level in mind is the delta 3 pro noticeably quieter than its predecessors?
Is there a difference in noise with passthrough VS drawing off the pack in an outage ~ couple hundred watts?

Thanks

where are there Temu coupon? Sorry, I've only used Temu once ever.

Edit: I think I figured it out, however with $20 Temu app coupon comes out to $179 + tax = $196

I'm looking for the ~$160 deal. I dont' care if it includes the solar panel.
