Ecoflow’s range of Delta products is in South Africa, leaving us hopeful that the newly announced Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra will eventually turn up. The new battery storage system showed its face at CES 2024 and it’s a substantial enough upgrade to justify the Ultra moniker.
While the Delta 2 and its brethren are solid enough to run large appliances for long periods, the Pro Ultra is capable of sorting out an entire home. Think of it as a Tesla Powerwall except you’ll probably actually be able to find one. If you can afford the R110,000 ($5,800) starting price, of course.

Otherwise, the design and features should be similar to what you’ll find from Ecoflow’s smaller batteries. There’s a passthrough system that’ll automatically switch over when the power drops. It’ll top up via mains, solar, and even generators, making it an ideal option for South Africa’s load-shedding situation.
The amount that the Delta Pro Ultra can assist you depends on the depth of your wallet. Storage capacities range from 6kWh to 90kWh but the price will alter heavily based on how many batteries you want in your home. Similarly, the Pro Ultra outputs between 7.2kW and 21.6kW, so your mansion can keep all of its lights on. Heck, you can afford to.
It’s not just the battery, however. You’ll also need the Smart Home Panel 2 which’ll optimise your power usage to make things a little cheaper while also acting as a controller for your new “smart hybrid whole house battery generator and backup”.
Local availability? Not yet but we’ve reached out to Ecoflow. Since this reveal took place at CES, we reckon it’ll be a few months before it makes South African landfall.
