I'm not in the market to buy a power station at the moment, but I might be in a few years' time. I appreciate these product review videos because they inform me of some things that I should look out for whenever I might want to buy a power station. For example, in this review I learned that some inefficiencies in the product means the amount of usable energy is slightly less than the rated amount of energy storage.
I love your video. May I suggest you try a good vacuum cleaner plugged into the unit? Plug the vacuum cleaner into your AC outlet first listen to the sound it makes, and observe its suction, and then listen to the sound it makes using the generator. If it has the same sound of the power and drawing the same amount of energy as the wall outlet, then I think that would be a good test. Thanks again!
Would this be easy to connect to a transfer switch? Would you recommend this for a whole/partial home backup system (especially with an extra battery) ?
Any thoughts or ideas for adapting a 90 degree elbow on the 700 Watt solar charging input cable (GX16-5)? Seems like a flimsy connection that sticks straight out & not secure. This is even more of a concern if one is considering using the DC/DC (higher wattage) converter for charging while driving. Also seems like they are running a large amount of current through that GX16-5 plug?
Thanks for the video, I purchased one of these. Is it normal for them to make a noise? Cracking sounds when I put my ear to the unit. I also plugged in a standard fridge and it sounds like a faint chirping noise or dripping water sound? Thanks
Offhand, I don't know what is the minimum amount of power that a Model 3 will accept for recharging, but even if this power station can provide that level of power, it can provide only 1.5 KWh of energy. For purposes of comparison, a Tesla Model 3 of has a 60 KWh battery (40 times as big as the than the capacity of this power station); and a Tesla car can travel about 4 miles per KWh, so this power station has enough energy to travel only about 6 miles.

I have been impressed with the e600lfp. So much that I recently ordered a pair of e300lfp. I would love to see a 3000 watt unit with a 30 amp RV port.

Awesome! I am glad it was helpful.

Nice system 👌
I really like it! It is my new favorite compact portable power station (

Does the Pecron 200w panel have 3 or 4 kickstands? Thanks.
i'd love to know if the 12 volt cig plug is regulated,. so I can run my 12 volt fridge/freezer without worrying about it turning off.

You can reach out to Pecron and make sure. I haven't put my ear up to it while it is running.
Can you slow charge a model 3 LFP battery with it?
