    We scored this unit on an Amazon glitch I guess. Priced at $899 with a $400 coupon. We should have bought several at $499. It ran our air fryer this morning. I am excited to see what it can do. We got the e600lfp for $258 with codes (thank you hobotech). That unit has boiled water with an electric kettle pulling over 1400 watts. I bet this unit will do more than 2200w also. It charges insanely fast from AC. Thanks for the great review. I have watched it several times.

    • @johnmal5975
      @johnmal5975 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The old expansion battery is 24 volt the newer one is 48v. You can not use the 48 volt on the other stations. Rumor is they are making a 3600w station thus switching over to 48v systems. I have 2 of the e2000 lfp's but I want the 3600 w station. So I will wait for that and add the newer batterys to the 3600 w station.

The e2000 of course is 500 more watts, allows for 400w more solar charging and on the top end has 1000 watts more expandable battery storage space. But the 1500 is cheaper right now I think by 200 on preorder. This one is definitely "better" in the sense of capability and less bugs. The 2000 is just a little bigger.

    Love the review. Another satisfied Pecron customer here. I've had the E2000LFP and the EB-3000 for just under a year and it generates a total of 4992 wh. Use it everyday and my only complaint is the ac charger bricks. Then again, I bought a second one so I'm able to fast charge at a max of 1200w from ac or a generator as needed. It's been a great company, quick to answer any questions and good customer service. Looking to buy my second EB-3000 this winter to max out at 8064 Wh.

    This is a really great review. This Pecron has some really nice features. I actually like that it can handle different voltage ranges on the solar charging but I do agree there should be some overlap to the input voltages. Glad you gave it the Hobotech Award.

  • @TumnusMr
    @TumnusMr ปีที่แล้ว +8

    One thing to note about the extended battery is that it is a 48V version, which is not compatible with the E2000LFP that uses a 24V battery, so don’t get the two mixed up. I believe the new model is something like EP3000-48V. Also the size of the battery is probably designed to also work with their even larger 3600LFP(?) coming out later. They still could have done a better job with the stacking though like you said.
    As for the 100W input, I was of the understanding that was more for car charging and by having a different connector you can’t accidentally plug it in to the high input port and fry your car’s 12V circuit or blow a fuse.
    On my E600LFP that has the same two inputs with the same voltage ranges printed (albeit lower total power) I was able to charge with a single 200W 18V panel in the 400W port. Pecron’s solar chargers take up to 30 seconds to kick in so you have to wait sometimes. This unit may be different though since it is 48V internally.
    Thank you for spotting that current drop when charging above 80V. I was thinking of getting this to run my office off grid and overpanelling slightly with 4 200W panels in series. Many panels have slightly more than 20Vmax so this is something to be wary of.
    Bit of a shame about the inverter idle consumption for using it all the time as a solar UPS. Hopefully now they have an app and updatable firmware that can be improved along with adjustable max charging rate and also adjustable charge and discharge limits for prolonging the life of the battery.

    Excellent presentation. Thanks for sharing. Love the 12v output options and the high amp loads. Jackery and Bluetti are going to lose truck/van/boat/car business to this unit since they have practically abandoned 12v output options in their newest units. The Pecron E1500 Pro also has some very nice 12v output options. For use in my truck/car/boat where I need strong 12v options - I would pick either of these Pecron units over the newer Jackery/Bluetti units.

    Curious re ups capability....
    Let's say the power goes out and the ups kicks in perfectly
    But the power is out for a while and it runs out of power and shuts down
    When grid power kicks back in, what mode does start in (does it start?)?
    Does it pass through power and charge up?
    If the power goes back out, is it still running in ups mode? Or do your devices lose power the second time around

  • @WDonaldson
    @WDonaldson 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great review - thank you! I am VERY happy with the Pecron E1500LFP! FYI: To charge the battery more "gently" using AC 120V at a rate slower than the default 1400W, I plug it into the wall & turn on the AC mode, then plug in a small heater. The E1500LFP will automatically turn on the "UPS mode" and will only send the battery approximately 1600W "minus" however much the heater is using. In my case 1600W - 700W = 900W charging. Something safer than a heater is desirable (perhaps a TV)...YMMV

    I've had 2000 lfp in the bed of my Jeep Gladiator for the past year and a half. Charge it from the vehicle alternator via a Renogy 2000w inverter. It Powers my off-grid trailer, cooking, lights, entertainment, and Starlink. It hasn't missed a beat but the charging brick is starting to fail - very dusty environment. It occasionally stops charging - I disconnect it - try to blow it out - bang it around a bit (yeah bang it around and beat on it) and it starts again. I was going to expand with the 3000 but would still be dependent on the charging brick - so after watching this review I just bought the 1500 lfp instead (used the Hobo discount code and paid a total of $854.00. It will give less total storage but give me much faster charging at 1400w and also give me total redundancy in the event of failure of the 2000 or 1500, I wish there was a way to charge the 2000 from the1500 to be able to eliminate the weak link of the charging brick,

    The major flaw in this is the two solar charge ports. If you have two 12V 200W panels you can’t get maximum benefit from your panels. If you run them in series your at 24V which isn’t enough to trigger the minimum required 32V for the main charge controller. So you need to use the smaller port which is limited to 100W.

    I'm working hard to figure out which portable power pack to buy during these Black Friday (and Hobotech) deals, but I'm failing due to my lack of understanding of the power translations. I've been on the fence between an EcoFlow unit and an Anker unit. (I've heard lots of negative feedback on Bluetti's customer service, unfortunately.) But now I'm thinking this Pecron may be the best bang for my buck. Mostly, I'll want to be able to power a BougeRV fridge (bought through Hobotech) on the road for a few days, and a sump pump at my home. If I can run a space heater in a pinch, all the better. I feel like this video just told me I can do all of those things with this Pecron unit. Am I right or wrong?

    Professor... I have two E1500LFP's both with two cascaded batteries. When I am backfeeding one, 120VAC phase/bus bar of my main breaker panel with either Pecron, most all of my screw-in base and 4' tube style LED lights significantly flicker. I have a Breville countertop over that also sounds very labored when running off the Pecron. When I run any led lights when the oven is on, the flickering triples. Both units are outputting 59.9 Hz, 120 +- Volts and 2 - 2.5 THD, more or less identical to my grid power. I just picked up a DeltaPro Ultra and have backfed the main breaker panel with it's 240 VAC output and I get zero flickering and no oven issues. It's not an inductive feedback or radio interference issue. Have you run a phase of your house from your E1500 and experienced any of this?

    Their website is showing that the Solar Input for 100W is actually the DC5521 and can handle anywhere from 12~25V. I was initially worried my 24V Bluetti 120 panel was unusable because it was outside the range specified in the video. 7:50

    Hi Professor Hobo, little question, I would want to connect a AC fridge permanently to a Pecron E1500LFP. I would connect 2, 300 watt panels to it in series. the AC fridge uses roughly between 300 and 550 wh a day. If I understand correctly, I would need to also take into account the 1044 wh of the AC idle usage a day and add this to the consomption of the fridge right? That would mean roughly between 1344 to 1599 wh per day, which on a sunny day would work with the panels probably but it the winter it wouldn't. So next to the solar input I would also need to use the AC input at all times. Is it possible to use solar input and AC input at the same time, and connect a fridge to it (24/7)? thanks for you help! I'm still new at this:)

    They solar input will be tough for folks like me that just have a hodgepodge of different panels from 60W to 100W to 250W. To really get this thing charged in a day I’ll need to throw together a couple panels to meet the 32v minimum on the larger MPPT controller.

    Looks great! and definitely best bang for the buck but one thing missing to be the perfect option for a van conversion/RV is
    DC-DC charging and I'm not talking about the turtle speed lighter plug, which I know is limited more by the vehicle lighter amperage.
    Even if they offered it as an additional external accessory with a property connection that would make it the perfect power station
    What are your thoughts on using boost converter charger to simulate solar charging.
    Or would it be better off using an AC 1000W converter from the vehicle lighter/ separate direct 12 volt connection to battery into to the AC input.
    With an ON/OFF switch so you can charge while your engine is running and driving long distances.
    Taking advantage of dual charging and leaving the 700 Watt solar plug available for a few solar panels?
    Their current 3000 is good and have dual 600 Solar inputs but no Anderson plug.

      No one has done it yet and I think the main reason is liability. They don't want people blaming the power station for issues with the car electrical system.
      That's why an official external DC-DC charger that plugs into one of their aircraft connectors is the ideal solution and meets people half way who don't want to build a system but would be able to hook up a car amp.
      DC-DC chargers can be hard on alternators if you don't have a surplus of amperage or if you have a smart alternator you kind of have to know what you're doing and ,I guess they assume that at that point you might as well just build your own system and there's no market for it.
      I know I'm capable of building my own but I like the idea of a portable power station because I work remotely and out of coffee shops, share spaces, etc
      I want to be able to take it out of my van put it on a rolling kart/bag and roll it in with me and charge it indoors while I'm working at a coffee shop.

Assuming the unit has solar charging priority, can you get this unit or any unit to automatically have AC power kick in at say 20% battery power?

    Would you recommend installing this in an older RV (30a) in place of its house batteries or replacing the old LA batteries for a decent LFP setup? Don't want to fry anything if the alternator or generator tries to charge it, so would likely just wire it up to solar when boondocking or or its 110v charger when plugged in at campgrounds. I built my own "solar generator" using a 200ah battery, separate 40a/110v charger, and a pure sine invertor for about the same cost as this unit so just wondering if installing this would be simpler and more cost-effective?
