Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 vs EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max (2048)

What separates these two

• WeightThe Anker states 18.9 kg (unit onlyUnit only The station by itself, without cables, chargers or a bag.); the EcoFlow states 23 kg (unit only), 22% heavier.This means the Anker is lighter to carry.

  EcoFlow: manufacturer page (au.ecoflow.com) read 29 Sept 2026 23 kg

• Cycle lifeThe EcoFlow states 3,000 cycles (until 80% of the original capacity is left); the Anker states 4,000 cycles (until 80% of the original capacity is left), 33% more.This means the Anker is rated for more full charges before its battery wears down to that level.

  EcoFlow: manufacturer page (au.ecoflow.com) read 29 Sept 2026 3000 cycles to 80+% capacity

Price and price per Wh aren't compared here yet. That needs a second shop selling each one for about the same price (within 10%), which shows the price is real. Today: price, Anker $1,799 and EcoFlow $2,341; price per Wh, Anker 87.8¢ and EcoFlow 114.3¢.

Can't be compared as the brands list themCan't be compared The two brands give this figure in different ways, or only one brand gives it. For example, one counts battery charges until 80% of the capacity is left and the other until 70%. Set side by side, the numbers would mislead, so both are shown and neither is put ahead.

• 12 V car socketThe Anker states 10 A. The brand doesn't give this figure for the EcoFlow.This means the two can't be compared on this until both brands publish it.

A difference is listed above only when both brands measure a figure the same way and the gap is at least: capacity: 10% or more; price: 10% or more; price per Wh: 10% or more; AC output, non-stop: 15% or more; weight: 8% or more; 12 V car socket: any difference; solar input: 20% or more; wall charging, empty to full: 20% or more; cycle life: 20% or more; stated warranty: any difference; UPS switchover: 5 ms or more; expansion batteries: one has it and the other doesn't; AC surge: 15% or more. Every comparison on this site uses the same gaps.

Fridge runtime for both

How long each would run an example fridge, a Dometic CFX5 45, with no solar and no driving. Its manufacturer says it uses 0.76 Ah an hour at 12 V when it is 32 °C outside and 4 °C inside. The brands don't publish some of the figures this needs. Where someone has tested the station, their result is used; otherwise both use the same ranges, taken from tests of other stations. For the EcoFlow, tests of this exact station give its own draw (measured by The Technology Man) and 240 V shareShare delivered How much of the capacity on the box actually comes out of a socket, as a percentage. Testers run a steady load until the station switches off and count what came out. The rest is kept back to protect the battery or lost as heat making 12 V or 240 V. (measured by The Technology Man).

The middle estimates are 3.2 days apart.This means the Anker is likely to run the fridge for longer, but that one unknown figure could close the gap.

The biggest unknown is the station's own drawStation's own draw Power the station uses itself while an outlet is switched on: its screen, its electronics and the circuit that makes 12 V or 240 V. Few brands publish it. Over 24 hours it can add up to as much as a small fridge uses. with the 12 V socket12 V car socket A cigarette-lighter style socket that runs 12 V gear, like a camping fridge, directly. Its rating is in amps (A): a 10 A socket supplies up to about 120 W. on. No brand publishes it and no test of this station was found, so 1–12 W is assumed. On its own, it can change the Anker's answer by up to 3.5 days, which is more than the gap between the two.

It loses some energy as heat, and so does the station making the 240 V..

Try another fridge, add solar or driving, or change the assumed ranges:

Charging paths

“Not stated” means the brand's website and manual don't give that figure (checked 29 Sept 2026).

All the specs side by side

Capacity is the nameplate figure in watt-hours (Wh), the one on the box. AC output is the power a station can supply non-stop, not a short burst. Weight is the station on its own. A figure measured another way is shown with a note saying how, and isn't compared with the others.

What neither brand tells you

These figures would help answer the questions above, but neither brand gives them (checked 29 Sept 2026):
