Im a huge pecron fan, I have their 1500 and cant be more pleased. Their price, customer service and quality is all good. If you fill out the warranty card it adds 1 year to the warranty. I dont know why anyone would even consider a jackery over pecron products. Great review
Absolutely agree. Jackery seems to be “the brand” that people gravitate towards but after extensive research consumers are just paying for the brand name. It’s max recharge via ac input is a joke compared to other brands
Very thorough explanation. The only drawback is, maintaining the battery at 30% and 100% charge for a few weeks or a month otherwise you'll ruined the battery. I travel and can be away from two to five months and in that time my battery will be useless. However, I still do like the product. I will highly recommend it to family and friends. Thank for your much educated video. I have learned beyond my expectations.
I know this comment is fairly old but the unit uses LiFePO4 batteries which usually hold onto their charge for more than long enough to top it every few months or more.
My wife doesn't know yet but I picked up the E2000LFP 1920 kit with 2 panels. new to the solar game but I want power options in any given situation. Thanks for the reviews it helps me understand the potential for these devices.
Thank you for this most informative review! This helped me to understand the specs information and how that information helps me make a better purchasing choice. I believe this power station is what I want for my van's refrigerator, an Alpine C20. The information on a solar panel choice was also most helpful to me. I have two smaller Jackery units that power or charge my LED lights, a 110v ceiling-mounted fan, two personal USB fans, my Samsung phone/tablet/watch. I wanted a dedicated power station to power the fridge. I do not use campgrounds with sure power. I'm a boonies type camper. I live and travel in my van several months a year when I'm not housesitting.
@@TechMadeEzy I am SO sorry to hear that. We just lost ours last month. No kids. He was our everything. I completely understand the pain (more than most). Hopefully, we'll all be together again someday.
I dont know if it's a limited time promotion, but these 600LFP's are significantly cheaper now. Just received mine today, and repeated the Keurig test but for 14oz. It passed! I was pleasantly surprised, and considering it failed the heater test at 1422W, I think it was specifically designed with coffee drinkers in mind. This is good. A 14oz brew used 9% capacity.
Thank you for sharing. They're still on a really good sale price so I came looking to see what those who have purchased it thought. Good to know you like it.

Wonderful review... I like the style of review... Very informative... And your dog Brooklyn looks like she can be very helpful at times... She's a nice looking dog
I've got one of these. My plan was to keep it next to my home server and network core and plug the UPS into it when the power goes out, keep everything running for another hour or two. One major drawback, once you put any significant load on it (like 250-350 watts in the case of my server and network gear), the Pecron's output voltage drops down to around 100 volts, and my UPS's automatic voltage regulation freaks out and starts flapping back and forth between AVR on and off. 100 to 120 volts is an annoyingly big range for the voltage to fluctuate based on load, and it borderline makes the E600LFP unusable for me for the purpose I bought it for. On the other hand, the E600LFP was very cheap compared to the competition (got it on sale), and if I ever get another power station for my server/network, the E600LFP would work perfectly well elsewhere, like keeping my home office going, where the load would be much lower.
Hey I'm doing research on the E600 and was wondering if you knew why the output voltage on yours was dropping like that with a load that's only a fraction of it's supposed total output? Any insight would be greatly appreciated thank you.
I have a small collection of solar generators and this one is my favorite. In fact as Im writing this, I was able to purchase a 2nd one delivered for just $331.55. Sale for $349 and coupon(Using a 5% off coupon from another youtube video on this Pecron.) BTW, I use my 17Kw 36v battery bank to charge my Pecron(s). When my bank is full it sits at 42v. I can charge the Pecron at just over 450W in pure silence. My batteries dont have a fan compared to the wall charger.
Best review of the Pecron E600 yet. Thanks a lot. I did buy it yesterday use it as pass through for my 3D printers and it works perfect. The power supply can only just keep up but it works. A 400w power supply would be better. One thing that is a bit strange is that I still not heard the internal fans kick in. 650W toaster and it is totally silent. I am conserned if that is normal?
Different manufacturers have the fans turn on at different temperatures, I wish this unit had an app, this was it could be updated . Good unit from my experience
@@TechMadeEzy I can use continuous over 700W with no fan sound, is that normal? I have a app for my Delta2. Must admit I really don't use is. Fun to play with in the first 5min 🙂
I just watched the entire video thanks! My order is on the way. I have a quick question about maintening the battery? Can you please elaborate on that. Do you mean charge it already when it is about 20%?
Hi thanks for watching first of all. 1st it’s important to follow the manufacturers guidelines for maintenance. What I do is I charge to 80 or 90% and I discharge to 10 or 20% when I use it.
Thanks for sharing. Some constructive feedback: 1) A lot of mixed bag inverter loads with excruciatingly slow "reading the changing numbers" just to conclude that yes, it can do up to its rated 1200W but its surge rating is unknown and is limited. 2) No DC capacity test. I view this as most important for any battery. Rated at 614Wh but what is the real capacity? This is easily tested with a constant DC power load. Show if the 12V and USB ports make their advertised ratings too. 3) No AC inverter capacity and efficiency test. Again, a constant AC power load will do. You may be surprised how fall below the rated capacity you may get. Capacity testing is important because you're (mostly) paying for the battery and some vendors "cheat" a little on that. This product for example, the vendor admits (see links) that run time is 614Wh * 0.85 (Depth of Discharge). So that means the 0-100% capacity on the display is really only 522Wh and then the actual usable capacity is further reduced by DC-DC or DC-AC converter efficiency. DC-AC efficiency varies a lot between vendors due to tech differences (DC-DC is usually > 90%). Testing on a fridge is not so useful because as you showed, the load demand varies.
Just a note: Microwave Watt Energy is the MAGNATRON RF Radiation Energy output. NOT the AC line Watts. Use a WATT or AMP Meter to determine AC line Usage. A thermostat is just an ON/OFF switch. Mike M.
Very interesting. I did not buy this because I wanted a power bank that would pair with my solar panels and was surprised to see that it worked with the renogy solar panel with 24 volts. I thought that 32 volts was the minimum required to get it to charge with the solar panels. I'm dumbfounded.
Another excellent review. Regarding using it for home emergency, since it would be used on a standby basis, do you leave the power station plugged into the house AC continuously charging 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week until you need the emergency power, which could be months in the future?
Thank you first of all 👍🏻 Keep in mind this is a small power station with a small battery it's nothing that's going to power your home. This would be helpful if your power went out you could plug your refrigerator in as you could see in our refrigerator test. This is also helpful to charge your devices and maybe plug a fan in. If you're looking for Home backup you might want to get a smart home panel with some batteries but that can get very expensive or you might want to look for a larger power station that is expandable so you can add additional batteries down the road. Take a look at our battery power station playlist and you'll see a bunch of reviews that we've been doing over the years.
Overall very pleased with my unit. Some observations re solar charging: After thorough testing, I can't figure out why solar input to the Pecron E600LFP is relatively low with panels in series (all other configurations, i.e. single panel or in parallel behave as expected). This is our test results (done with 340 W qcells rigid panels - Voc of 40.91 V and VMPP of 34.10 V): 300 W solar input from a single qcells 340 W panel 270 W solar input from two(!!) qcells 340 W panels connected in series So even lower input from two panels connected in series, than from a single panel!!?? 390 W solar input from two qcells 340 W panels connected in parallel 393 W solar input from three qcells 340 W panels connected in parallel Anyone got an idea, why the Pecron E600LFP has such a relatively low solar input from panels connected in series?
Ended up buying the PeCron E2000LFP which is the bigger model for added backup power for fridge have you got a recommendation for a good plug timer I can use to extend battery time ?
You mentioned the 3 AC plugs are not grounded. I have seen portable power stations from other companies where there is not just a hole, there is a small opening for the ground wire. Are power stations such as this one with only an open hole less safe?
@@TechMadeEzy im sorry its Pro1000 lol i payed with discount $521 free del check it out youll like it like to see you do a review i think your fans would love it
I may be wrong but it is my understanding that the specs from the manual of this station says NOT to wire solar panels in series. Wire in parallel only.
How did the renogy 100w panel ( 24volts) work if the voc range for the e600 is 32 - 95 volts? I thought this meant the minimal voltage would be 32volts input.
I had the same question. They said my 120W 18 V panel was too high for their 100W max DC5521 port. They said i needed over 32V for the other port to work. Seeing you use 24V on it makes me think mine could work also. If not, I can buy the same panel and connect them in series, right? Great review, that's why I bought it.
Hi Alvin here are the specs for solar You can use the DC barrel port for 18v DC Barrel port 12V~18V / 100W Max /7A Max GX16MF Port 32V~95V / 400W Max / 15A Max
Thanks. Just got an updated reply from Pecron. "Thank you for your reply. Sorry for the mistake.I asked our technical department, they said a 120W solar panel can be used in the DC5521 port, two solar panels in series can be used in the GX16MF-5 port, but need an adapter cable." So I guess it's okay to run my 120W on the 100W max DC5521 port, which is great for me. Their support is phenomenal for an Easter holiday. They reply back within half an hour!
I just got through doing a wh test on this and got about an 89% AC efficiency on it. It was all the way down to 0% on the charge so I put it on the brick charger. Brick stayed on green and no watt imput showing up till it got to 18% charge which took about 40 mins before brick light turned red and wattage showed at 272 watts. Is that normal?
26:10 Fail to see/understand this to be successful pass thru charging....485W out and 265W in.....this means the station's battery was powering the load. Actually what you want is the ac-load AND the power station to be powered completely from what is coming from the house ac-circuit.
It does! I tested my 700 watt microwave with this thing. Handles it like a champ. But doing that it wouldn't be my main use for it. Using a microwave for a good amount of time would drain it within minutes
If you calculated the wattage needed as well as any surge on any of the devices you wanted to power then you could buy a power station that can supply those needs. The video you sent was a Bluetti AC200max very powerful and also expandable. It doesn’t compare to the one in this video. I wish I could simply say yes to your question but it’s not that simple.
I have that unit and 2 200 solar fordable pecron solar panels do you or any of your viewers have any Ideas how to connect panels to maximize solar output
Don't know why . . . . I had a hankering for some Strawberry Pop Tarts somewhere in the middle of this video . . . . . . . hmmmmmmmmmmm . . . . . Need a solar angle guide 'cause I am too stupid to point the panel toward the sun . . . . Okay, maybe the solar angle guide makes it easier . . . but one should anticipate where the sun angle will be in an hour or two . . . . when your inside scoping out videos on TH-cam . . . . . . SO, adjust your panel according to BEST overall position for the time-frame it will be in use .
I bought mine for 500 dollars in Ukraine, because russia is suck. I not need it, but i think i will use it for cooking or lighting after bombing our electrcity station
You know I watched a few of these videos now and seriously none of you TH-camrs ever educate your viewers on buying products that can stay below the inverter range. Like if this thing I'll put 1200 continuous you guys should advise your viewers to purchase coffee makers electric kettles microwaves that all stay under 1,200 Watts. That will solve a lot of people's problems. I chose this thing because it's extremely compact outputs 1200 watts that can easily power small microwaves coffee makers, and small electric kettles. This thing can pretty much hit as hard as a thousand ah power station at half the cost
@@TechMadeEzy Do you just double the inverter output to get that number? I went ahead and got one of these. I need to hunt down a panel for it. Seems that the 36v variety of 200w panels is pretty limited. Pecrons is kinda pricey. Any suggestions?
@@TechMadeEzy Funds are running too low for that panel. Also, I have two other 1000w LFP's, but they only can input 200w. It would be nice to be able to use the 1 panel for any of my batteries. I'm not putting much focus on the solar aspect of these due to where I live. Clouds are the normal order of the day.

Some observations re solar charging:
After thorough testing, I can't figure out why solar input to the Pecron E600LFP is relatively low with panels in series (all other configurations, i.e. single panel or in parallel behave as expected).
This is our test results (done with 340 W qcells rigid panels - Voc of 40.91 V and VMPP of 34.10 V):
300 W solar input from a single qcells 340 W panel
270 W solar input from two(!!) qcells 340 W panels connected in series
So even lower input from two panels connected in series, than from a single panel!!??
390 W solar input from two qcells 340 W panels connected in parallel
393 W solar input from three qcells 340 W panels connected in parallel
Anyone got an idea, why the Pecron E600LFP has such a relatively low solar input from panels connected in series?
Ended up buying the PeCron E2000LFP which is the bigger model for added backup power for fridge have you got a recommendation for a good plug timer I can use to extend battery time ?
OK good it’s got a larger battery so you should have more runtime
You mentioned the 3 AC plugs are not grounded. I have seen portable power stations from other companies where there is not just a hole, there is a small opening for the ground wire. Are power stations such as this one with only an open hole less safe?

Haven't heard that as much as Howard Stern buddy but thanks, glad the video helped. Nice small power station for sure, best of luck 👍🏻
Great review.
How does this one compares with the Oupes 600?
Hey thanks 👍🏼
Wow I haven’t done a video in OUPES in a while but I see they are stepping up recently. Don’t know on that 600.
Many microwaves allow you to reduce the power level, so you might be able to get it to work at 80% power level or so.
So I'm confused. If the low end of open circuit input says 32v. And the panel was like 23. Isn't it too low? Outside parameters

So I guess it's okay to run my 120W on the 100W max DC5521 port, which is great for me.
Their support is phenomenal for an Easter holiday. They reply back within half an hour!
Good to hear 👍🏼
Nice size
I just got through doing a wh test on this and got about an 89% AC efficiency on it. It was all the way down to 0% on the charge so I put it on the brick charger. Brick stayed on green and no watt imput showing up till it got to 18% charge which took about 40 mins before brick light turned red and wattage showed at 272 watts. Is that normal?
Doesn’t sound normal really, I would contact Pecron and see what they say
@@TechMadeEzy It finally started charging at 272 watts and fully charged in 3hrs.
Ok keep an eye on it, best of luck
can use charge this with home outlet?
Hi yes, solar also don't be afraid to watch the video, I unbox it and show the ac plug and more 😎
26:10 Fail to see/understand this to be successful pass thru charging....485W out and 265W in.....this means the station's battery was powering the load.
Actually what you want is the ac-load AND the power station to be powered completely from what is coming from the house ac-circuit.
Nice review. You mentioned a couple of times you were going to test the intelligent buck drive, but I didn't catch that. Did I miss something?
My apologies wasn’t able to
@@TechMadeEzy No worries. Thanks.
great review,,, disturbing how truth in specifications appears impossible to manufacture by marketing departments.
Can this one power a microwave at 700 watts??
Watching the video is helpful 😎
Go to the testing section time stamp around 20 I believe that will help answer your question
It does! I tested my 700 watt microwave with this thing. Handles it like a champ. But doing that it wouldn't be my main use for it. Using a microwave for a good amount of time would drain it within minutes
Can it handle 11 amps DC input? As in: 2 solar panels connected in parallel?
Specs state 15a max
Can this run an older Speed Queen top load and with old style turn and click controls, no electronic Samsung here, 8.7amp, 60 hz, 120 v??
Are you talking about a washing machine
Was there an APP? If not how is the software updated?
No app , pecron doesn’t use apps at this time in any of their power stations
The thermostat on a heater just switches it on or off. It doesn't adjust the wattage.
Thanks
The SalesHound is Very Persuasive..!
Hi I would like to know will this be able to power house lights?
Like all the lights in your house? Or plug in a lamp ?
@@TechMadeEzy all the lights ? Meaning from the db
Db?
If you calculated the wattage needed as well as any surge on any of the devices you wanted to power then you could buy a power station that can supply those needs. The video you sent was a Bluetti AC200max very powerful and also expandable. It doesn’t compare to the one in this video. I wish I could simply say yes to your question but it’s not that simple.
@@TechMadeEzy I meant with for eg the e2000 pecron would such a thing be possible?
I just want to know if the process would be possible
I have that unit and 2 200 solar fordable pecron solar panels do you or any of your viewers have any Ideas how to connect panels to maximize solar output
Which panels do you have? Name model
the 2 panels are PECRON 200 watt foldable 36 volt
Use this port and you are good to connect in series GX16MF Port
32V~95V / 400W Max / 15A Max
@@TechMadeEzy I like the power brick, I am in the Philippnes, so heating of unit is better if it has a external brick
I saw it there, it is in owners manual on like bottom of page like page 4/5 in the fold out manual in small print it says 15 amps
Don't know why . . . . I had a hankering for some Strawberry Pop Tarts somewhere in the middle of this video . . . . . . . hmmmmmmmmmmm . . . . .
Need a solar angle guide 'cause I am too stupid to point the panel toward the sun . . . .
Okay, maybe the solar angle guide makes it easier . . . but one should anticipate where the sun angle will be in an hour or two . . . . when your inside scoping out videos on TH-cam . . . . . .
SO, adjust your panel according to BEST overall position for the time-frame it will be in use .
That made me laugh, thanks for your comment
Bought mine on sale for 312 dollars on sale with a coupon code.
Definitely nice price
I bought mine for 500 dollars in Ukraine, because russia is suck. I not need it, but i think i will use it for cooking or lighting after bombing our electrcity station
You know I watched a few of these videos now and seriously none of you TH-camrs ever educate your viewers on buying products that can stay below the inverter range. Like if this thing I'll put 1200 continuous you guys should advise your viewers to purchase coffee makers electric kettles microwaves that all stay under 1,200 Watts. That will solve a lot of people's problems. I chose this thing because it's extremely compact outputs 1200 watts that can easily power small microwaves coffee makers, and small electric kettles. This thing can pretty much hit as hard as a thousand ah power station at half the cost
Most (if not all) "solar batteries" state the surge capacity. Why doesn't this one??
2400w surge
@@TechMadeEzy Do you just double the inverter output to get that number? I went ahead and got one of these. I need to hunt down a panel for it. Seems that the 36v variety of 200w panels is pretty limited. Pecrons is kinda pricey. Any suggestions?
My favorite panel, our link is in the description of you want to purchase it and support the channel
th-cam.com/video/TanH8z85C2s/w-d-xo.html
@@zippy2641 the 2400w was the actual surge for the unit
@@TechMadeEzy Funds are running too low for that panel. Also, I have two other 1000w LFP's, but they only can input 200w. It would be nice to be able to use the 1 panel for any of my batteries. I'm not putting much focus on the solar aspect of these due to where I live. Clouds are the normal order of the day.

Terrible customers service I learned the hard way I'll never buy another Pecron
I haven’t heard that before. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve gone through that.
Too long to watch… shorten it up to 10 minutes.. too much pre-dribble.
Patrick welcome to the channel. We are all about Detail. That’s what you find on this channel longer videos with a lot more detail. That’s what we’re known for. I hope you stay but if you don’t, I wish you the best of luck.
Whats the voltage/amp/watt rating of the charger?
Hi Mark, I’m traveling your best bet is contacting the manufacturer on that one. I don’t have an access but thank you for watching the video.
