Estimated AC energy = rated Wh × 0.85. Runtime = estimated AC energy ÷ load W, with no reserve. Capacity and weight differences use the displayed figures; price per Wh uses each model's own price and the day it was checked. The device draws are in the watt-hour calculator.
- Capacity: Explorer 5000 Plus minus DELTA Pro Ultra = -1,104 Wh (-18% of the DELTA Pro Ultra figure).
- Carry weight: Explorer 5000 Plus minus DELTA Pro Ultra = -47.3 lb (-26% of the DELTA Pro Ultra figure).
- Price per Wh: Explorer 5000 Plus minus DELTA Pro Ultra = 0.01 USD/Wh (1.6% of the DELTA Pro Ultra figure).
Will it run your gear?
Check whether each unit has enough battery and output for the devices you want to run.
| Use | Needs | DELTA Pro Ultra | Explorer 5000 Plus |

| a night of CPAP (a CPAP with its humidifier for one 8-hour night) | 599 Wh, 53 W running, 104 W startup | yes | yes |
| two nights of camping (camp lights, phones, a laptop and a fan for two nights) | 2,066 Wh, 157 W running, 157 W startup | yes | yes |
| a day in an RV (a day of RV lights, TV, phones and a laptop) | 648 Wh, 156 W running, 156 W startup | yes | yes |

Runtime by device
Hours = capacity × 0.85 ÷ device watts, with the draws from the device table; "Start" says whether the output and surge ratings cover the startup figure we use for each device (the refrigerator, 1,300 W startup allowance, from a larger 27 cu ft Whirlpool's tech sheet), so a "yes" there means likely, not certain, to start yours.
| Device | Draw W | DELTA Pro Ultra h | Start | Explorer 5000 Plus h | Start |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPAP machine (with heated humidifier) | 53 | 98.5 | yes | 80.8 | yes |
| Refrigerator (full-size, ENERGY STAR, ~18 cu ft top freezer) (average draw) | 41 | 126.5 | yes | 103.7 | yes |
| Laptop (MacBook Air, charging) | 40 | 130.6 | yes | 107.1 | yes |
| Wi-Fi router | 24 | 217.6 | yes | 178.5 | yes |
| Starlink Mini (router built in) | 33 | 160.7 | yes | 131.8 | yes |
| TV, 50-inch LED / Crystal UHD | 89 | 58.7 | yes | 48.1 | yes |
| Space heater, 1500 W | 1,500 | 3.5 | yes | 2.9 | yes |
Buy the DELTA Pro Ultra if…
- you want the most stored energy per dollar ($0.68 against $0.69 per Wh)
- you want the extra capacity (6,144 Wh against 5,040 Wh)
Buy the Explorer 5000 Plus if…
- the $700 difference matters more than the specs
- you carry it more than you run it (134.5 lb against 181.8 lb)
- it will sit between the wall and a refrigerator or router (maker-stated 0 ms switchover; 20 ms for the other)

Questions buyers ask
Which is better for power outages, the DELTA Pro Ultra or the Explorer 5000 Plus?
EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra states a 20 ms switchover, so it can sit between the wall and a fridge or router and take over when the power cuts, once the device is in an outlet the manual gives the backup to and any AC timeout is off (for a CPAP or a computer, check that device rides through the switch); Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus states 0 ms. EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra holds more (6,144 against 5,040). Check your appliance's startup watts against the surge figures in the table.
Which is cheaper per watt-hour?
DELTA Pro Ultra at $0.68 per Wh against $0.69. This compares purchase price with rated capacity, not lifetime delivered energy.
Can either run a window air conditioner?
Only if the air conditioner's running watts stay under the AC output (7,200 W on the DELTA Pro Ultra, 7,200 W on the Explorer 5000 Plus) and its start fits the surge figures in the table: read both on the air conditioner's label or in its manual, and test it before you rely on it. For the hours, multiply the rated Wh by 0.85 for inverter losses and divide by the running watts. A unit whose label says 500 W, for example, would run about 10.4 hours on the DELTA Pro Ultra and about 8.6 hours on the Explorer 5000 Plus on a full charge, if its compressor ran without a break.
