Best 2024 Generators for dual-input charging

#1 EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus Review
5.0

AC and solar can be combined, and the two DC inputs allow flexible mixes of solar, vehicle, or battery sources.

Pros: rated output, peak output

Cons: 30-amp output, parallel operation support

#2 Bluetti Elite 200 V2
5.0

Combining AC and DC sources cuts downtime dramatically and can bring the battery to 80% in under an hour.

Pros: output stability, pure sine wave output

Cons: specification accuracy, startup reliability

#3 Pecron E3600
5.0

Simultaneous solar and AC charging works well and can push total recharge power to very high levels.

Pros: power output, rated output

Cons: output stability, voltage regulation

#4 Jackery Explorer 1000 V2
5.0

Two solar/DC inputs make it practical to combine panels or charge from separate travel sources for faster recovery.

Pros: rated output, peak output

Cons: standby power loss, specification accuracy

#5 Jackery Explorer 3000 v2
5.0

Combining wall and solar input produces the fastest recharge times and is especially useful when charging windows are short.

Pros: power output, rated output

Cons: battery expandability, car charging speed

#6 AFERIY P280
4.8

AC and DC or solar charging can operate together, substantially increasing recharge speed. Some tests found the combined input fluctuated rather than remaining perfectly steady.

Pros: rated output, peak output

Cons: app connectivity, voltage regulation

#7 Anker Solix F3800
4.5

After a firmware update, one owner successfully used AC and DC charging at the same time, adding useful flexibility.

Pros: rated output, output stability

Cons: car charging speed, USB-A ports

#8 EcoFlow River 3
2.0

Charging inputs cannot be combined, so there is no simultaneous wall-and-solar or multi-source charging.

Pros: noise level, idle noise

Cons: self-discharge rate, air travel suitability

#9 EcoFlow River 2
1.0

Charging sources cannot be combined; AC, USB-C, and XT60 inputs must be used one at a time.

Pros: surge capacity, output stability

Cons: dual-input charging, whole-home integration
