  • ›Native 120V/240V split-phase output powers central 240V well pumps, dryers, and mini-splits without requiring an external double-voltage hub.
  • ›Features ultra-quiet X-Quiet cooling architecture maintaining sub-30 dB operation at loads below 2,000 W.
  • ›Includes dual solar charging ports accepting up to 2,600 W combined high-voltage and low-voltage photovoltaic input.
Cycle Physics & Dwell Behavior (CPAP Machine)
  • ›Turning off the heated humidifier and ClimateLineAir heated tube cuts power draw by more than half (from 40–65 W down to ~15 W), more than doubling battery runtime.
  • ›Running from a power station's 12 V car socket via ResMed's Air11 DC/DC Converter (part 39231) avoids turning on the station's AC inverter and its ~15 W idle drain.
  • ›The AirSense 11 uses a 24 V DC input with a proprietary 3-pin sense pin, so it requires the official Air11 DC/DC converter rather than a passive 12 V barrel cord.

Frequently Asked Questions: EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 & CPAP Machine

How long will an EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 run a CPAP machine?

About 60 hours on AC power, with the CPAP machine averaging 40 W (standard pressure with humidifier active (40 W)). The EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 then draws about 68 W from its battery, including 25 W for the inverter itself. Best case: about 4.1 days (humidifier and heated tube off (15 W)). Worst case: about 43 hours (high pressure with HumidAir and heated tube at max (65 W)). At 8 hours a night, that's about 7.5 nights.

Is it better to run the CPAP machine from DC on the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3?

Yes. Using the ResMed Air11 90 W DC/DC Converter (part 39231) on the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3's 12 V car socket, the CPAP machine runs about 4.4 days instead of 60 hours on AC, 74% longer, because it skips the inverter's conversion loss and its 25 W idle draw. That's 13 nights instead of 7.5 nights.

Why isn't the runtime just 4,096 Wh ÷ 40 W?

That simple division gives 4.3 days, but the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3's inverter draws about 25 W whenever its AC outlets are on. At this light load that's 37% of everything the battery supplies, and inverter conversion losses take a further share. The idle figure comes from EcoFlow.

How long does the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 take to recharge?

On wall power: about 70 minutes to 80% and 95 minutes to full (EcoFlow figures). With its maximum 2,600 W of solar input connected, expect about 2,080 W in full sun, so a full recharge takes roughly 2.1 hours of full sun, so it can refill in a single day with 4 peak sun hours.

Can the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 keep a CPAP machine running during a power cut?

It can act as a backup supply: with the CPAP machine plugged into the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 and the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 plugged into the wall, it switches the CPAP machine to battery in about 10 ms when the grid fails (EcoFlow calls this UPS mode).
