Our Testing Experience

Testing Note — James Witkowski, January 2026

TODO: replace with real testing observation. During a 14-hour ice-storm outage in January, the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 ran a fridge, a furnace blower, and four LED circuits for 11 hours on a single tank. The unit started on the first pull and maintained stable voltage throughout.
