EcoFlow vs Bluetti vs Anker SOLIX in Australia: the 1kWh models compared
All three are 1kWh LiFePO4 stations with an 1,800W inverter, so the differences are in the details. For blackouts we'd lean to the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus for its expansion and fast switchover; for big solar setups the Bluetti Elite 100 V2 takes the most panel current.

These three are closer than the marketing suggests. Each has about 1kWh of LiFePO4 battery and an 1,800W inverter with Australian 230V outlets, so any of them will run a fridge, a modem and lights. The differences are in charging, solar input, switchover time and expansion. For home blackout backup we'd lean to the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus. For a big solar setup on the road, the Bluetti Elite 100 V2.
We haven't run these units ourselves. This is a comparison of the specs EcoFlow, Bluetti and Anker publish on their Australian sites and in their manuals, linked at the bottom.
The specs side by side
| Spec | EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus | Bluetti Elite 100 V2 | Anker SOLIX C1000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery | 1,024Wh LFP | 1,024Wh LiFePO4 | 1,056Wh LiFePO4 |
| Wall charging | 1,500W | 1,200W (Turbo) | 1,300W |
| Solar input | 2 × 500W | 1,000W, 20A | 600W |
| UPS switchover | Under 10ms | 10ms or less | Under 20ms |
| Weight | About 12.5kg | About 11.5kg | About 12.9kg |
All three list 1,800W of continuous AC output. EcoFlow's X-Boost goes to 2,400W at reduced power for heating appliances, Anker quotes 2,400W SurgePad, and Bluetti quotes 2,700W of "lifting power". Those modes and surge figures aren't the same thing, so compare on the 1,800W.
EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus
The EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus is the one we'd look at first for home backup. EcoFlow says it expands to 5kWh with extra batteries, so you can start at 1kWh and add capacity later. Its UPS switchover is listed at under 10ms, it charges from the wall at up to 1,500W (EcoFlow says 0 to 100% in 56 minutes) and it has two solar inputs of up to 500W each, at 11 to 60V and up to 15A.
EcoFlow rates it for 4,000 cycles to 80% capacity and gives a five-year warranty. EcoFlow's app also lists a Storm Warning mode, aimed at having the battery charged ahead of severe weather. Check how it works in your area before you rely on it. It's the heaviest of the EcoFlow, Bluetti and Jackery trio, at about 12.5kg.
Bluetti Elite 100 V2
The Bluetti Elite 100 V2 takes the most solar current of the group: up to 1,000W at 12 to 60V and 20A, according to Bluetti. That makes it easier to run panels in parallel, which helps when part of your array is shaded. Bluetti says its Turbo mode charges from the wall at 1,200W (80% in 45 minutes), with a quieter 600W standard mode.
Two things to know. The cable to connect solar panels (MC4 to XT60) isn't in the box, according to Bluetti's manual. And its charging range is 0 to 40°C, a little narrower than EcoFlow's 0 to 45°C, which matters in a hot car. It's rated for 4,000+ cycles. Check Bluetti's Australian page for the current warranty term.
Anker SOLIX C1000
The Anker SOLIX C1000 has the biggest battery here at 1,056Wh and charges from the wall at 1,300W, which Anker says takes 58 minutes. It expands to 2,112Wh with Anker's add-on battery and comes with a five-year warranty.
It gives up ground on solar: 600W maximum at 11 to 60V. Anker's Australian page lists the current limit as 10A at 11 to 32V and 20A at 32 to 60V, while its datasheets list 12.5A, so check the manual for your unit before you buy panels. Its UPS switchover is listed at under 20ms, slower than the other two, and Anker rates it for 3,000 cycles to 80%. When we checked in October 2026 it was showing as sold out on Anker's Australian store.
Where Jackery fits
The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 is the lightest 1kWh option at about 10.8kg, with a 1,070Wh LFP battery and 1,500W of AC output (3,000W peak), according to Jackery. Its solar input is the weak point: two DC8020 ports at 16 to 60V and 200W each, so 400W total. Jackery rates it for 4,000 cycles to 70% and gives a three-year warranty, extendable to five. It suits camping where weight matters more than fast solar refills.
Which one for which job
For a home blackout kit, the DELTA 3 Plus makes the most sense: fast switchover for the modem, the option to add batteries later and the Storm Warning mode. Our blackout and cyclone season guide has the sizing maths.
For caravans and longer camps with a lot of solar, the Elite 100 V2's 20A input gives you the most room when wiring panels. Our caravan sizing guide and solar pairing basics go into the detail.
Whichever you buy, get it from the brand's Australian store or an authorised Australian retailer. That way you get AU 230V outlets and the local warranty. And whichever you buy, plug appliances straight into it. Connecting any of them to house wiring needs a changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician.
