| Typical fridge runtimeOur estimate | 22–38 hrs | 22–38 hrs |
Specs from each brand's product page, checked Oct 17, 2026. Fridge runtime uses 85% of capacity and 1.1–1.9 kWh a day. How we calculate
Where it matters in an outage
Tie
Keeping the fridge cold
Nearly identical capacity, so both carry a typical fridge for roughly 22 to 38 hours.
Edge: 2000 Plus
Running more at once
The extra 600 W of continuous output gives more room to run a microwave or space heater briefly alongside the fridge.
Edge: 2000 Plus
Recharging from solar
It accepts up to 1,400 W of panels versus 1,000 W, so a sunny afternoon refills it faster, if you own enough panels.
Edge: DELTA 2 Max
Carrying it around
About 11 lb lighter for the same capacity. That matters if it lives in a closet and comes out for storms.

Who should skip both
Skip both if you need the whole house, central AC or a 240 V well pump. A 2 kWh station runs a few essentials, not a home. Look at whole-home battery systems or a standby generator in battery vs. generator.
Skip both if your outages regularly last several days and you have no solar. At about 22 to 38 hours of fridge each, you’d be buying extra batteries from day one, so a larger single unit may cost less.
Common questions
Which one runs a refrigerator longer?
Neither, in practice. With 2,048 Wh and 2,042 Wh of rated capacity, both run a typical fridge for about 22 to 38 hours by our estimate. The range depends on your fridge's size and age.
Can either one keep a fridge going through a 2–3 day outage?
Not on its own. About 22 to 38 hours falls short of three days, so plan on extra batteries or solar. The DELTA 2 Max with two extra batteries reaches 6,144 Wh, and the 2000 Plus with add-on packs can go further.
Do I need the higher output of the 2000 Plus?
Only if you'll run several big loads at once, like a microwave or a space heater alongside the fridge. A fridge, lights, Wi-Fi and phones together stay well under the DELTA 2 Max's 2,400 W continuous rating.
