@@pecron2879 WE LOVE OUR E2000LFP & EB3000 8KW SYSTEM !!!!!
Thank you for making a great product that will help us all in many ways
And together as a community, We can all put our heads together to make your products even better :)
Here is a link to the ideas that could make this model even better we believe
th-cam.com/video/u2Tq6FEPIcY/w-d-xo.html
(PLEASE CHECK IT OUT AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK)
Very helpful. Have the EF2000LFP and been considering the EB3000 but hesitant because of all the linking problems. Looks like its been resolved. The updated EB3000 pdf explains things pretty well. Thank you!
That manual is still not 100%
The manual STILL does not list the charging with the 600 watt charger even it works perfect.
But we have had our full 8kw system running 24/7 since we bought it :)
Great video Bob! I have one of these EB3000 on the way so this info is very helpful. I've had the E2000 about a week now and I love it. I got the trolly so I should be able to stack the 2000 and the 3000 together but we'll see. I appreciate the review and looking out for everyone who bought one of these units. Safe travels!!
Thank you Bucks B,
Please help me get this info out there if you can, I believe it will help many people. :)
O heck yeah. Perfect. Been waiting to order eb3000 because of lack of info. Saw other guy with sync issues and said umm think I gonna wait. Thank you for this. Awesome 👍
Thank you Dino Bernardi,
Please help me get this info out there if you can, I believe it will help many people. :)
We saw that same video, And had the same thought, Great, I just pissed away 4,500+ dollars. :(
So, we did our own research and found that "UPDATED" manual online, If i had not have found that, We would have been freaking out still.
(Pecron online presence is almost nothing) Once i found out about this, Just had to make a video for other people so they don't feel the same way.
THERE IS ZERO VIDEOS ONLINE THAT SHOW OR HELP WITH THIS CASCADE THING EXCEPT THIS ONE !!!!!
(And the manual that they send does not even have the cascade steps in it, They said that they were gonna update that)
and if people do not know about that "NEW" manual on their website, How the heck are people supposed to just figure that hidden menu out for themself. That is a recipe for disaster waiting to happen !!!
Pecron's customer service is awesome, But the language barrier is always a problem when trying to explain something like this
So, that is the guy that we were trying to help out but we can not post any comments anywhere on youtube other than this channel
Never used youtube before, I made this channel years ago and just forgot about it. LOL
Believe since we are not verified yet with all the things you have to go through, The system thinks i am a spam account or something and deletes "EVERY" comment i try to post on his video or anywhere else.
Just trying to help folks out with this
Could you do me a favor?
Can you post a comment on his channel saying that this channel can help him right away if he watches the video we made?
Really think it would help all the other people that saw his video like you and thought, Heck no, I ain't buying that thing. LOL
Just went and.told him about your video and hit your like button that should keep it up and the forefront for others to see. Another question.....I believe these batts can also be used separate from the 2000lfp if needed. Does it all have to be recalibrated to reconnect? Also does the unit recognize when you rob it of say one battery? Thanks soooooo much for your help and many others will I'm sure. Yes Pecron has been great as far as contact but the language barrier hurts. Also don't understand how you can produce something like this and not explain it. Crazy!! I'll let you know how it works when I get mine.
@@dinobernardi170 Yes, You can charge each battery from 12-95v with that 5 pin aviator pin that they give you up to 400 watts and then you can use the battery separate if you wanted to at anytime. with USB-A, USB-C, 12v Cig (Barrel Plug), xt-60 or what looks like a 5525 dc circle output. (That is one reason i bought this model) Wanted to buy another main unit and use the batteries back and forth between the house and the rv whenever we wanted. I would just hook them up fully charged when i swap them.
As for grabbing a battery and using it like that and then sticking it back into the same system like nothing happened, Not sure yet, We have only had them for 2 days so far, Still testing the regular functions out, And 8kw is a lot of power to discharge and charge back up, So my testing is real slow because we only have 1 x 600 watt (550 watt real world) charger. And the solar sucks right now, So that is not helping very much either to get these big guys full of power in a timely manner. Wish i had a second ac charger to speed up the process at least a little bit (The charger pulls about 650 watts from the wall and only puts in 550 watts into the battery (apx 100 watt loss in voltage conversion sucks) and my 1,000 watt array of solar panels are only pulling in 100-300 watts at most today because of the stupid weather and time of the year. LOL
pretty sure that the system itself overall is pretty basic as for the power and how it uses it, it kinda feels like just slapping together a bunch of car batteries and using it that way. I mean, That would run just fine until the power is depleted and then you just charge them up again.......It's the power meter that would be screwed up until you re-calibrate it again i would assume. That is why that guys system said 1% left and it was still running like nothing happened because it really does not understand why it is still running, It just does that because it still has power in there to keep going.
Think of forrest gump running, He did not understand why he was running, He just kept running......LOL
So my guess so far would be that it would work just fine, It's the power meter that just would have to be re-calibrated so the numbers are correct.....It does not have all the fancy options like bluetti or ecoflow does with apps and communicating chips and programming and extra stuff like that that really monitors what is going on in there and talking to each other like the big guy system do.
This is the only REAL info i found on the teardown/inside of the main unit with this fella on youtube and he did not have the extra batteries to test or open (and the info on these batteries are almost ZERO on the internet) It's kinda sad that we have the most info on how to do this and we really don't know nothing overall so far. LOL
check this guy out, He rips the sh!t out of the main unit like a mad scientist, THIS is the video that made me buy it. Along with hobotech and others. l like his style, no goofing around and beats the crap out of it and puts it back together and fires it back up. I am a older fella and to me, That is like buying a car and kicking the crap out of the tires. LOL
th-cam.com/video/06IMCP7v9jY/w-d-xo.html
all in all, We just wanted a huge power bank that we could roll around the house or stuff into the rv and use if we ever needed it, And it 100% does what we we need so far because that is the basic functions of these kind of technology that we wanted. That e2000lfp is awesome for what we needed and works perfect so far
***** just disconnected the second battery just to see what happens while i had a small load on the main unit and it just kept running as normal for about 5 minutes But i am pretty sure that the power meter would just have to re-calibrate after a full charge or full empty again if i drained it down a lot. So that confirmed to me that this system is like a bunch of car batteries slapped together it seems. It will just run until it's dead and not know the difference.
was always just taught to never hook up power sources or battery banks with different voltage for safety concerns or risk of any damage inside because of current spikes. that is why i made this video also so people don't try to stick a 22v (drained) battery and a fully charged 28.7v main/battery together. believe that is not the smartest thing to do.
Overall, It just seems like there is really a simple/basic hookup design to the batteries without opening them up and looking inside and doing a tear down of this system. i wish we had more info for you, but only having them for a couple days so far, and taking soooo long to charge up 8kw of power, We are still at a lack of extra info i'm afraid.
REALLY wish i could get this small info we have with that manual update and small amount of testing info to the big guys that i watch on youtube (HOBOTECH, Will PROWSE, JASONOID, ETC, ETC.....) so they could do a proper test break down. Or would even pay to see that crazy guy rip the crap out of the whole system and do the super duper mad scientist test on it.
Let me know what you learn also when you get yours so we can try to learn together :)
I emailed Pecron support after seeing that one guy's video with his sync issues. I asked them a bunch of questions and they were really responsive. Some additional info they provided me that may help others:
- All batteries must be within ~10% SOC (State of Charge) from one another before you sync
- The E2000LFP must be set to the correct Wh number for how many batteries you have. So if you disconnect 1, it might have sync issues and the capacity shown will be incorrect.
- You can connect solar panels separately to the EB3000s to simultaneously charge them via solar and the E2000LFP, but the capacity displayed may be wrong. But this allows for very fast solar charging (total of 2000W solar which will charge up the 8064Wh very fast)
- Since the E2000LFP is lower capacity than the EB3000s, it will discharge to zero first, but will continue to run until both EB3000s are drained. So they discharge at the same rate (i.e. if you have a 600W load, each will provide 200W), so the E2000LFP will run out of power first, but that's how it's designed to work apparently, as the EB3000s will continue powering the whole system.
Hope that helps folks.
Thanks Bob! This is a super useful video and really appreciate the step by step walk through it the menu. I was holding off on the EB3000s due to that sync video we all saw, but this is much more confidence inspiring. Again, really appreciate the helpful vid!
Also, for those wanting app and other features, often times those extra features mean something else will go wrong. I like the simplicity of the Pecron.
You hit the nail right on the head with that comment, "SIMPLICITY" is 100% what i was looking for when i researched all these devices.
Turn it on, Use, Turn It Off........SIMPLE !!!!!
I am uploading a 3rd update right now that i believe will be more useful information dealing with the extra batteries, PLEASE WATCH IT AND HELP ME GET THIS INFORMATION OUT THERE.
WE ALREADY HAVE PECRON WATCHING MY VIDEOS SO IT IS 100% MAKING A DIFFERENCE !!!!
Thank you "Ramblin Bob"
We have learned so much from your channel.
Thank you for the nice comment :)
P.S. You guys have the coolest store ever !!!!!
Thank you for the video! Very helpful info. I hope other people see this too. 🙂
Thank you ThisBChelsee,
Please help me get this info out there if you can, I believe it will help many people. :)
Great info Bob! Nice to see your system in action, good job Pecron!
Thank you Kevin Curtis,
Please help me get this info out there if you can, I believe it will help many people. :)
@@RamblinBobReviews I want to put out a warning for anyone who goes to the secret menu. There's a big difference between a long and short push once in there. You could change a setting without realizing it. Long push to advance menu screens towards the exit/ebb/save
@@kevincurtis5568 GREAT COMMENT KEVIN..... Yes, I did forget about that as well, You only need to change "menu 4" Plus, The really nice thing is the "updated" manual on pecron's website has pictures of the default settings so you can always double check your numbers with theirs. The only number that will not match the manual is menu 2 might have a different number, But that is ok, This will re-calibrate the number every time the unit turns on. So just change MENU 4 !!!!!
Great video, Bob. I appreciate all the information. I, too, bought myself a solar power station generator and today. I just got my additional expandable. EB 3000 battery 2 add together with my EP 2000 station. I'm very excited to start experiencing. All the gooties that it got offer. I also have a bluetti ac200max that I'm very happy with. But unfortunately I did not buy the expendable battery because of course price wise. Hopefully next year I'll be adding my second battery to this Set up a Pecron, Keep the videos coming, always find them entertaining to watch and informative as well. Cheers be holidays to you in your love ones.
Thank you and we are very happy you are in the scriber family :)
P.S. Welcome aboard :)
This why app control is more convenient. With that aside I'm definitely looking into purchasing this. Thank you so much for the video it's very helpful for us looking to purchase.
It is a great unit, we have been using this power station without the batteries for months nonstop to test it, And then with the batteries for a couple of days now, zero problems for us so far. other than that 65 watt usb-c port, but they already fixed that on the new models.
@Bob awesome ! Your insight on your experience with this unit is much appreciated.
@@DoritosResidue Just doing what i thought was right in helping people with this problem that would might have made folks pull out their hair in frustration. LOL (I KNOW WE DID AT FIRST)
Outstanding and very much appreciated. Love the timely demonstration. Received my expansion batteries yesterday and charging them up now. Although your input is promising and Pecron customer service is so far very good, I wish this were a USA-made product. I went with Pecron based on evaluation videos like yours and value for the price. I couldn’t find a USA-made product that met those guidelines, but am very open to suggestions. Thank you.
Thank you Bruce H,
Please help me get this info out there if you can, I believe it will help many people. :)
I wish there was U.S made power stations as well. But there's not. Doesn't seem any U.S company is interested in developing these. What they need is a U.S based techs, customer service and marketing team. I worked for a Chinese CCTV manufacturer, I was the first tech hired and by my observations it took a while for them to become get established here in the U.S
@@DoritosResidue There really is a bunch of USA made power stations. Check out these if you like :)

Renogy.....

While those are US companies, their products are manufactured in China and all the batteries and electronics come from China. It's too costly to manufacture these in the US unfortunate, but a US company at least will hopefully have domestic customer support.
@Bob that's good to know. But I don't think renogy is a US company. I live local to renogy here in southern California . Inergy looks interesting though
Great video, Bob! Question…. I have multiple units and the factory settings are wildly different. Any idea if this is by design or if they should be changed to the example levels in the manual?
Are they the same models? They did release a version 1 & and version 2 already....
The only one that is different on most units is solution 2 menu 2. That re-calibrates every time you set the machine, So it could change.
Mine was 1670 stock and changed to 1584 after i hooked up the extra batteries.
The rest should be the same. unless you have extra batteries hooked up to one and not the other one
Watch all the videos on my channel, I have ran tons of tests on this system.
Just ordered a e2000lfp and eb3000 combo this morning. I’ll chime in once I get them to let people know if anything has changed or been updated. Looks like these videos will be very helpful for setup once I get it. I looked at the manuals online and it seemed a little sparse as far as setup details go.
Ok, Keep us up to date :)
Bob! Thanks for the video. I got both units charged to 100%. Connected them together with the large cable. I adjusted the solution 2 hidden menu to my combined wattage.
My only question…. How do I know if they’re paired and working as a single unit. It discusses a red light if it’s not cascaded correctly and a green if it is. But which light exactly is it referencing?
Is there a simple way to confirm the eb3000 is connected and combined power wise with the e2000lfp?
Nevermind. I plugged a 1500w heater into it and that was enough to kick on the 3000 and get it going. Lights came on…. All good…
Those lights will go on & off all by themselves, But don't worry, Even when the lights are off, Those batteries are still on ;)
We do not trust the lights anymore......LOL
@@RamblinBobReviews it’s only money right??? Lol I just pulled the trigger on a 2nd eb3000 to max out my setup and a 2nd wall charger. Have 1200w of panels for it also…
Awesome video and good info
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks! I'm trying to sort out the best and affordable way to extend the battery life. The pecron eb3000 or something like a power queen 12v/300ah cell which is about 3600 watt/hrs but l would have to fabricate a connector!😊
Glad I could help!
I WAS thinking about three 12.8 Volt 100 Ah LiFePO4's in series, (~460 watts calculated), input to a solar input, BUT instead of dicking around with this setup, for a few dollars more, well, more than a few dollars, any extra "runtime extension" hookups would ONLY provide the ~ 460 watts in addition to the main units capacity. With the EB3000, the entire 3072 Wh capacity is available at whatever current draw your load is. IF your loading was < ~ 450 watts or so, the feeding of a 38.4 voltage source, (3x12.8v LiFePO4 batteries), would work for you....
Just got my battery today where is the link for the "UPDATED" instructions can't find on the Pecron site. Thanks in advance.
Here is the link to the "updated owners manual" in a video form that i made for the question.
th-cam.com/video/UDh2CiknEz8/w-d-xo.html
And here you can find the offical pdf manual straight from pecron's website.
(Just look for e2000lfp & eb3000 manuals on the list) ----> Save these to your computer for reference :)
www.pecron.com/pages/user-manual
Please go slow for the first time setting it, It can be confusing at first ;)
Depending on the model that you have, There are w possible ways to do it.
original version : (What i have) ONLY CHANGE OPTION 4 !!!!!
updated version : (Being sold now) ONLY CHANGE MENU 1 !!!!!
I have posted many videos on how this works, Feel free to check out the video we have uploaded to help people. :)
@@RamblinBobReviews Thanks for the links and for the excellent heads up on properly attaching the battery. God Bless:)
@RV Legal Eagle & Paws If you could help me get this important information out there to the other pecron e2000lfp owners, Would you mind posting a link to my channel on your review? We have lots of test data for this model so far and we are testing it everyday :)
P.S. Thank you and god bless !!!!!
Thanks for the video. I have an EB3000 on the way and went through this menu yesterday. My E2000lfp actually has 8 menu choices. I believe #8 is high voltage limit. Have you heard of this? I purchased the E2000lfp in November of 2022.
Yes, You are correct, menu option number 8 is high voltage safety stop
There were 3 versions that we know of that were released.....
1. Version 1 (What we have in this video) "has 7 menu options"
110v ac, 65w usb-c, old mppt boards
2. version 2 has "4 menu options" (has both menus as 1 & 2 but 1 does nothing)
(Pecron forgot to delete this menu when adding the new one)
120v ac, 100w usb-c, new mppt boards (updated for this model)
3. Version 3 has "8 menu options" (menu 8 being the one that you are talking about)
(Has to do with the high voltage max setting, DO NOT TOUCH THIS)
120v ac, 100 usb-c, new mppt boards
@@RamblinBobReviews Thanks for your quick reply Bob. #8 shows at 27.8V. Do you know if this is correct? This isn't covered in any of there online manuals that I can find.
Yep, Pecron once again did not put that in the manual it seems...
(remember, you have the latest version that we know of when you have the 8 option menu)
According to pecron's email that a scriber received, That is the correct number.
We believe that this is the floating trickle max charge that the system uses to keep the cells topped off. The complete charging voltage to 100% is 28.6v and then it sits at 27.8v max to keep it topped off.
P.S. Feel free to join the "SCRIBER" family if you are not already :)
P.P.S. Everybody on this channel helps each other when they have questions or problems :)
@@RamblinBobReviews Thanks, just subscribed. I've watched the majority of your video's. Thanks for all you do.
P.S. Welcome to the "SCRIBER" family !!!!!
P.P.S. :)
You said one thing that bothers me. Perhaps you can clarify. You said you charged the EB3000 disconnected from the main unit with the charger from the E2000LFP. That charger is 6oo watts BUT... the input charge limit on the EB3000 is 400 watts????? I notice that the updated EB3000 manual shows no example of charging in standalone mode with an AC adapter.
YES, You can charge the battery with the 600 watt charger.....
PECRON THEMSELVES TOLD ME TO DO IT :)
The battery just limits the power input to 400 watts by the MPPT controller.
Nothing has changed
P.S. THOSE MANUALS ARE TERRIBLE AND STILL NEED A LOT OF HELP !!!!!
@ronbotex
Here is a video we made just for you :)
th-cam.com/video/nWvf9yVZZTc/w-d-xo.html
@@RamblinBobReviews Thank you!. Sorry but I didn't view ALL the updates....which is a lot. I've got 4 different Pecrons, so it looks like I have several chargers that would work. The documentation is not the worst, but it's not the best either.
It needs improvement for sure....LOL
Yep, We feel like we made a movie series with all the updates, (28 so far)
But we really like helping people if we can, And when we bought ours, There was nobody out there to really help us with our questions, That is the reason we started this WHOLE youtube channel.
oops, Forgot to add this important info....
Some pecron units come with a 4 pin aviation pin for some chargers. Please only use the "5 pin aviation pin" for the e2000lfp :)
Does each extra battery have its own port to charge it by solar panel???
YES :)
Each battery can have the following.....
12v-95v (up to 400 watts max)
(so if you have 2 batteries, you can pull in 800 extra watts for your system)
P.S. YEAH BUDDY !!!!!
Big help. Mine has a 008 setting. Do you know whatvthay setting is?
Newer version machine & newer firmware :)
You have extra settings that were not in the original system :)
P.S. Do not change that setting :)
P.P.S. Only charge the battery amount :)
@RamblinBobReviews I didn't I looked on my other 1. It is set at 27.8
How do you turn off the WIFI for battery conservation when OFF-GRID?
The e2000lfp does not have wifi. (THIS VIDEO)
The e1500lfp has wifi and it is very simple to do :)
Press and hold the AC & DC buttons until the wire frame around the battery flashes.
(and then, do not touch anything for 30-60 secs and it turns off automatically)
That resets the wifi for a new connection, and when it can not find a new connection (because you left it alone) it turns off :)
P.S. YEAH BUDDY !!!!!
@@RamblinBobReviews TY, this is actually for the E300LFP twins I got in yesterday. Hope it works the same for them. Can't wait till you have some new vids on the E300LFP!!!
Just received the E300LFP yesterday and did the unboxing video, should be online soon :)
and many more videos with this little guy, It is a REALLY nice small power station
When the external battery(ies) are connected, they are in parallel?? When inputting the charger brick OR solar panels into the E2000LFP, it would charge the one or two external batteries in parallel so they all charge at once???? That is my understanding and looking for your confirmation or not.. Thanks for your reply..
Yes, The batteries are in parallel. If they were in series, The voltage would double ;)
They all charge at once :)
Hey Bob, as you know I own the E2000LFP and the Expandable battery. I'm considering buying another E2000LFP. It it possible to cascade two E2000LFPs to one EB3000? If not, have you heard if that might be something Pecron would work on in the near future? While the EB3000 is a great battery bank, it's just so heavy and I'd much rather have the functionality of additional E2000LFPs. Any thoughts on this?
I have not heard anything about this. We think it might be a really bad idea to link 2 e2000lfp's to one battery. You are connecting things that are not meant to be connected. I myself would NOT try it.
I have a question. I have this exact system with the E2000 LFB and EB3000 -24V. received 1 month ago. I charged the main unit ( E2000). Confused? How do I charge the EB3000-24V?
hey Hurdie1 :)
1. You can use solar panels or the charging brick with that weird looking "5 pin plug" that comes with the e2000lfp to charge the battery into the charging port on the side of the eb3000-24v battery :)
2. Once you fill the e2000lfp and the eb3000-24v battery separately to 100%, then you hook them together and wait a few minutes for them to balance :)
3. Then, After you cascade the e2000lfp with the battery, whenever you put any power into the main unit (e2000lfp), the energy will also fill into the battery or batteries as well so you never have to take them apart anymore :)
@@RamblinBobReviews Thank you! I wanted to make sure did not charge together. Have a great day!
You are most welcome :)
You didn't show how to change the total system wattage in the secret menu. That would have been good.
you just short press the same button again and they change one number at a time :)
same as you change every clock :)
Is it possible to run my tv off this setup? I have the lfp2000 already and will by the eb3000’s but I don’t see how to plug in an RV 30amp plug into it ? It has the power capacity but the largest plug I see is 15amp that won’t run the a/c as far as I can figure. Advice please so I know what to buy
Tv? I assume that you mean rv?
This setup does not have a rv 30a output :(
We wish is did.
@@RamblinBobReviews yes I meant RV. What good does 8k of power do anyone if you can’t power anything larger such as plugging in an RV and using the solar panels to recharge. I guess I wasted money on this. I was hoping someone might have a work around to make what I have usable. For off grid camping in our fifth wheel
This system was never made for rv hookup or use....It was made for a large battery bank for emergency use or overlanding or camping. That is why it was much cheaper than bluetti or ecoflow. It is just a huge battery for storage.
Bluetti AC300 or AC500 was meant for rv users.
It was perfect for what we were looking looking for. All we needed was 110v-120v for my workshop. All my tools are dewalt 20v But I do understand that people need 220v or 30a hookups for larger. But we never saw pecron advertise this to rv users.
We just never needed any more power than what it offered. 8kw was perfect at the time for us.
For almost a year, We have powered a 7cf fridge, A 5cf freezer, 3 large screen tv's all my tools, vacumn cleaner, fans, air conditioner, heaters, 3 laptops, microwave, pizza oven, and all led lights...All from the e2000lfp (8kw system) and 2,000+ watts of solar panels with this device.
(All that at 100% free from the grid or at any cost, All using the sun)
And when we use our rv, We just store it in the back room and power everything we use on the rv (just not through the rv hookup)
We were just looking for a massive amount of portable power that we could carry around with us if ever needed for an emergency or outdoor events or to power our small workshop.
Pecron's new systems have much stronger outputs according to there specs. But we have not seen them yet.
Someone else might have a work around for it, But we do not. Please be careful with electricity.
I just got my E2000 & EB3000. I immediately connected them both and charged. To test I ran a small freezer and a fridge with the E2000 only. They ran for 16 hrs. I'm now testing with the EB3000 connected. I'm at the 20 hr. mark and the cascade light finally came on but the display is misleading and the EB3000 shows 75% remaining.. Should I start from scratch and charge them separately? It seems like the E2000 empties before cascading to the EB3000. Unfortunately, none of this shows in the display. Thanks!!
Separate them and start over.
Do what the video says :)
Charge e2000lfp and put it aside
charge eb3000 and put it aside
AND THEN hook them together and set the hidden menu......
And then pay no attention to the lights at all, The batteries are on all the time even if the lights are off. We pay zero attention to the lights anymore UNLESS one is flashing RED (over voltage)
Most of the people that have this model on this channel no longer pay attention to the lights :)
ALSO: Make sure that you don't have 2 hidden menus in your model, If you do, ONLY set the menu with 4 options and leave the other one alone because they forgot to delete it when they added the new one.
@allen Burkacki Did you ever get it worked out, You might have a newer version with "2" menus in it, Try the other solution in the manual to see if you have 2 menus, if you do, That original menu does nothing, You have to set the 2nd hidden menu option.
Bob. How you tie that into the RV power source? You just using an adapter and plug in?
We don't use the rv tie in, we just use it like a large power box, we plug the stuff right into it with a power strip.
The e1500lfp is a 48v system and is much easier to plug into the rv units with 12v @ 30a output.
@@RamblinBobReviews the only items on my RV that use electric other than the obvious are the AC, lights and fridge (uses both). I have a 8k pecron stack (two exp) batteries. Are you saying I need to get the 1500? I have a 30 to 20 adapter om using right now to plug into the 2000 and it seems fine rn
@@RamblinBobReviews how u run the AC off a strip?
We have a soft start 5,000 btu (very small unit that runs fine of heavy duty power strip)
She only pulls about 450 watts
No, If the e2000lfp works good for you, then no
Was just saying that the battery backs are already 48v on the e1500lfp and it is way easier to plug that into rv's because they are usually 48v systems :)
P.S. The old saying is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it :)
Hello, do you have also have and idea on E1500LFP, it seems I have accidentally got in to the hidden menu, do you have a link that has the default values for my unit, I can't find one in google
the default values are in the owners manual pictures :)
@@RamblinBobReviews thats the problem cant locate in my manual
The default values are right there in the pictures on page 6 & 7 on the e1500lfp owner's manual :)
@@RamblinBobReviews if your talking the hidden menu for hertz and as instructed in the manual, that's not it.. i mean its the same hidden menu in your video. FYI I do have the Chinese version hehe
Cause I accidentally random press buttons and change the values, hoping to see e1500 LFP default values on this
Ya thank you for sharing that information as I’ve seen several videos of people not hooking there batteries 🪫 up right…As they say knowing is half the battle…👍
Glad to help :)
P.S. We are building a whole community of people that enjoy the same hobby and
they help each other when they have questions about technology !!!!!
P.P.S. We welcome to to the family :)
I have one of the Pecron E2000LFP systems with 2 batteries and I think it is a good system. I have been lately looking at the kinda new Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra for my backup system for the house with 3 batteries. It includes a 230V/30A socket for my fuse panel and can use my eight 400 watt REC panels in series producing 384 volts and 10 amps for charging. Maybe you can do a review on one of them.
We do not have one of those systems, but maybe we can do a website "first look" at one of these systems :)
