How we chose
We compared the three units on capacity, output wattage, expandability, UPS switchover, IP rating and current price.
The DELTA Pro 3 lists 4,096 Wh of capacity, expandable to 48,000 Wh, with 4,000 W output, a 10 ms UPS switchover and an IP65 rating. The DELTA Pro Ultra lists 6,144 Wh of base capacity, 7,200 W output and an IP54 rating. The original DELTA Pro lists 3,600 Wh and 3,600 W output.
On price, the DELTA Pro 3 is $3,099.00, the DELTA Pro is $2,959.00, and the DELTA Pro Ultra is $4,799.00. The DELTA Pro 3 costs $140.00 more than the DELTA Pro, and the DELTA Pro Ultra costs $1,700.00 more than the DELTA Pro 3. Each of the three prices is at its 90-day low and has held flat over that range.
Who should skip these
If you rent, or you can't mount equipment or run wiring where you live, these units aren't a practical fit. The DELTA Pro Ultra Whole-Home Backup Power is set up around a 4-step professional installation process, and its battery alone weighs 50.7 kg, so it assumes a permanent install rather than something you move between rooms or take with you when you leave.
The other thing to check before buying is whether your critical loads fit under the output of the unit you're considering. The DELTA Pro 3 Portable Power Station is rated at 4,000 W, the original DELTA Pro Portable Power Station at 3,600 W, and the DELTA Pro Ultra at 7,200 W. If what you need to keep running adds up to more than the unit you're looking at, that unit is the wrong one — the Ultra is the only one of the three rated at 7,200 W.
On price, the DELTA Pro 3 is $3,099.00, the DELTA Pro is $2,959.00, and the DELTA Pro Ultra is $4,799.00. The Ultra costs $1,700.00 more than the DELTA Pro 3 and $1,840.00 more than the DELTA Pro.
How to choose the right one
Start with output. The DELTA Pro 3 delivers 4,000 W, the DELTA Pro Ultra 7,200 W, and the original DELTA Pro 3,600 W. Add up the largest 120V/240V loads you plan to run at once and pick the unit that covers them; the DELTA Pro's X-Boost supports 3600W-4500W devices.
Then size capacity to the hours you need. The DELTA Pro 3 has 4,096 Wh base capacity and expands to 48,000 Wh, with a 12 kW scalability system. The DELTA Pro Ultra starts at 6,144 Wh with a 21.6 kW scalability system. The original DELTA Pro has 3,600 Wh.
Finally, weigh the price gaps against those needs. The DELTA Pro 3 costs $140.00 more than the original DELTA Pro. The DELTA Pro Ultra costs $1700.00 more than the DELTA Pro 3, and $1840.00 more than the original DELTA Pro. All three carry a 5-year warranty.
