Just completed the break-in period and so far the unit is operating perfectly ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y . I was amazed by just how quiet this little guy is. I kept having to walk down the driveway to the generator to make sure it was still running. In fact, the most annoying noise coming from the set-up is a high-pitched chirping coming from the pressure regulator on the propane line. I suppose it's possible my other propane-powered generator's pressure regulator is making the same noise, but the generator itself is so loud I've never noticed it. Build quality so far is excellent. My only nit is the service panel is a little tricky to remove. I feel like I might break off one of the plastic tabs when bending it back. I probably just need to work out the technique, so will not hold it against Champion.Next week I intend to fully load the unit to charge a large battery pack and will update this review if there's any problem (3000W continuous load vs a rated 3100W capacity while using propane). Absent any trouble there, I'm 100% pleased with this purchase.
See there?! See what you have gone and done??? You made an incredible great first impression and thoroughly impressed me, answered questions no one would or could answer and are going to save me money!!! NOW...I have to watch your channel on binge mode so I can see other incredible things! It's amazing how the 2 differ in price and abilities and cost so different! Great job!
InstaBlaster...
You gave me flashbacks to The Warriors when they confront the Orphans!
Me too. Very good
I got 2 1500w pecron generators on Amazon because they priced lower than other brands, and buy 2, I got 5% off for each of them. They are good as the video showed to you. I just want to mention a fact that I charged it with my 800w solar panel and it charged 380w to the pecron, filled it with in 3 hrs. The specs stated that it could be charged at higher rate but 380w was the max the solar can output on that given day. So I believed Mr Byte my Bit's review was honest. I boiled water with 1300w kettle, grilled chicken with Ninja pot just to test the pecron. I liked the performance of Pecron. I also liked his English because his is better than mine.

Your English is good my friend! Her doing well 👍🏼
Just watched this. Well done. I am in the market for a battery and had only heard of the jackery. Your review was timely. Thanks for being so clear.
My words exactly.
Douglas Robinson, check out 1,000 watt Beaudoin (?) For $599.00
Check out the RUclips presentation of the Jackery which includes actual on-the-road demo by a customer who travels in her van: BunnyPlaysHere.
DON'T waste your money.
These things do NOT generate power at all.
Solar panels do.
See my reply above. W P.
the product price is cheaper then Jackery but there is a 150 dollar shipping charge that brings it up to the Jackery price since Jackery includes shipping. so its not really a savings
Ouch how does he miss that
free shipping with amazon
Currently $899 on Amazon. $101 lower than Jackery 1000
@@rccrashburn Saw this also
With Amazon Prime and $100 off coupon. $856 so $200 cheaper than Jackery. Jackery $999 plus tax.
Excellent video ! Very informative. I jus bought an Eco Flow
I bought the Pecron E1000 1028Wh(25.2V 40.8Ah) Portable Power Station in September and have used it for camping and for power outages. I love it and it works as designed.
Niiiice-😎👍good find👍I bought the rockpals 500w power bank along with two 100w panels, And then yesterday I just ordered the go-power 90 W solar panel with built-in charge controller for my campers batteries
Thank you. I appreciate your knowledge.
I have not seen a teardown of the pecron E1000 , but the teardown videos of the jackoffery's actually have a pretty high quality design, parts and quality cell's.
It would be interesting to see a teardown of those percon's.
Hobotec has a breakdown
@@Braveheart.22 I think tear downs of a good product is a bad strategy. I'd concentrate on superior value dollar for dollar. Tear downs make me automatically suspicious of the person talking and his ultimate end-agenda, whether it be in business, or politics.
Quality OBSOLETE Li-Ion cells, to be precise. Don't waste your money on inferior technology. ALWAYS buy LiFePo4 batteries, and you will get many YEARS more service. There are many brands that use the new technology. Jackery is not one of them. What's the point of it being well made if it dies after 500 cycles? Bluetti is also well built quality, and lasts for at least 3000 cycles, with over 5000 being more common. That's TEN times longer. For the SAME price. Don't get ripped off by Jackery. Don't be that guy.
@@claycassin8437 Clay, I’m a senior citizen, and really need an unbiased, professional opinion. I need a power bank like this to run a small refrigerator for medication. But also for appliances and laptop. What would you recommend? I will add a couple of solar panels, but have no understanding of how it works. My hope is to charge the power bank thru my 12v outlet while driving, and solar when stationary. Any thoughts? Thanks for your input, that is exactly what I was looking for, channels like these are awesome, but it’s hard to know how biased or not someone is, especially if they received the item they’re reviewing for free.
@@valerief1231 Bluetti is the most trusted brand and has LiFePo4 batteries. Eco Flow is a newcomer with excellent reviews. Both will run not only fridges, but also medical equipment without cutoff issues. Other brands have the newer battery tech as well, but watch reviews for them...some brands and models have had issues maintaining either their AC or DC loads for extended periods. Bluetti is pricier, but has no flaws like those. When it has to work, the extra cost is worth it.
I just bought an off grid property and I think your channel will help guide me in what to look for in helping me out as I build thru the next couple years until I move onto my homestead👍 Thanks😊
I’m also into going off grid just curious where did you end up going off grid?
At Costco’s AC/DC 1000 watt charger/air compressor. Jumper cables. UBS assorted ports. Light 110 volt outlet. Fully charge 1hr. Made by Caterpillar. $100. I like it so well I bought one for my son
Thank you for this!
Thanks, I keep a jumper/compressor unit and I have a small inverter, to have all that in a single device, I'm going to costco
Used one of these as well, however keep in mind these things conk out a lot sooner as they cannot take Too many cycles
What you say is true. You get what you pay for😎🇨🇦🇺🇸
Unfortunately the inverter is only 300 watts, it's not a pure sine wave inverter, and it can only generate 200 watts. Plus it's a lead acid battery that shouldn't be used more than 50% and it needs to be charged at least monthly in a wall outlet. It would definitely work for some people but I don't think it would work for most vanlifers.
You're a freakin champ, thank you for this review. You're saving this man a pretty penny to be better spent!
To compensate for lack of light, just get some reflective tape to put on several places and use a solar light like a Lucilite.
Or buy a headlamp, you're going to need one one in a SHTF anyway.
Thanks very much for this thorough, clear to understand review, and testing of these power supplies, appreciated.
Currently on Amazon the Pecron is going for 899 USD while the Jackery is still 999 USD. With that little difference the Jackery still seems to be the better choice in terms of refinements and accessory options. Plus I like stuff to work out of the box instead of hunting for cable plugs around the house. Ymmv.
yes they are almost the same price, $1 per watt, not cheaper not half price as his introduction ...
@@johanneschu Also, he implied the Jackery doesn’t support a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) breathing machine. But the Jackery most definitely does work for a CPAP.
Thanks for saving me 20 minutes! The title and intro gave the impression that the Pecron was 50% of the Jackery's price. 10% savings is hardly a big difference especially if you time your purchase with holiday sales! Cheers!
He just lied ... so he's probably lying about it being as good too ...
Except for the fact that it uses obsolete Li-Ion batteries that last only 500 cycles, compared to the at least 3000 cycles of the newer LiFePo4 batteries. It is extremely poor value. Extremely poor. The Pecron is also a terrible purchase, as it is also using old, far less durable Li-Ions. They are also far more volatile, and charge much more slowly. There are much better options from companies like Bluetti and Eco Flow. The battery is KEY. Don't waste money on inferior ones.
It looks like the unit was cheaper when he made the video. Since then, the price has spiked.
$900 now
Atleast the handle on this won't stay in the way, like it's competition. That was a smart design, as long as it is durable.
THANK YOU! Just what I needed to see.
Would love to have seen solar panels hooked to it.
I am buying two of these Pecron batteries and a gas powered generator when I start my box truck conversion project. Using these and propane for my power needs ought to do me well. Thanks. I did not know these things existed.
I’ve been bit too many times by “you get what you pay for” …. and I did pay big bucks for the jackery 1000 inverter with the two solar panels ($1,499). You need a light…zip tie a small flashlight to the handle. How about the Ecoflow Delta …. Maybe compare the jackery to the ecoflow delta series. ❤️
Echoflow will blow away both the jackery and pecron as the battery chemistry is totally different. It has the newer lithium iron phosphate which lasts longer, charges faster and cycles over 3000 times
People, these are NOT solar generators.
Simply a battery in a fancy case.
You need solar panels or electricity to charge them.
On their own, they generate NIL power
so please stop calling them solar generators.
Batteries STORE power, they do NOT generate power..
From someone who actually uses power stations all the time and owns 6: Having all the outlets displays and controls on the same side is a HUGE advantage to the Jackery. No fumbling around the back looking to line up the plug with the outlet and the switch to turn it on.
wouldn't hanging a small extension cord at the front solves your problem, and it's only a dollar.
I dont see whats so hard about plugging shit i to the back. Like whats really the hassle there. I dont get it.
@@grizzbane6091 it's about space usage. In lots of situations you'd want to stick this up against a wall or something. With plugs in the back the effective size is made bigger because you can't put it against a wall. There is a reason many brands moved all the plugs to one side long ago.
@@SetitesTechAdventures ok thats fair. They do have 90° adapters for that size on ebay I think
@@cameranmanner4701 I can understand someone not wanting clunky workarounds, it's pretty cool having everything flush.
I'm glad I saw this before I bought Th Kodiak ..
Thank You for the Awesome Report 😊. You saved me A lot of Money 💰💰💰
You will pay in charge cycles in the end (Short life), Good luck!
I haven't tried any other but my Jackery 1000 with Jackery solar panel. I use it in my motorhome and love it for all kinds of use.
For those who are going the Bluetti route, their older EB 150 and EB240 had serious flaws NO better known reviewers spotted or talked about. If a shadow passed in from of the solar panels, power would drop. Shadow removed, the Bluetti's would not return to the previous power input level. You had to unplug the charging cord and then plug it back it back in to return to previous power levels. This is not good if you want to leave it to power a refrigerator. Clouds or kids pass in front of the panel your input drops and the battery runs out of power because of the loss of charger power. Build you own, it is cheaper and you can pick and choose components and limit your costs.
Research if the newer units have the same issue. Bluetti CS told me they fixed it on the latest models of the 150 and 240. But that was not true. I had to return the 240, twice for the problem I wrote about here.
Thanx for the info!!! On the hunt for a solar charged battery/genorater and have no clue where to start👍

Bluetti has glitches in it's tech. And they are always odd things that there doesn't seem to be any reason for. Sometimes I think Bluetti sends out early production models to reviewers and is actually relying on them to tell them what is wrong; that seems to be their quality control. The Pecron has tested out consistently extremely well. Jackery now is aging tech. It's still a good product but I think it is over priced for its tech. Everybody is now rushing for faster charging, because that is really becoming important to consumers. Bluetti is trying to catch up, but Jackery hasn't really changed much. But the companies that are really pushing the market are allowing for much more solar to be input for charging purposes. That is now a huge advantage, to speed up solar charging.
@@JustVinnyBlues Better off with units such as these: ruclips.net/video/T9JPNH2ZaEE/видео.html
Add panels and you are done!
I've used the ALLPOWERS battery pack with a 100w panel extensively in the woods and it worked great. It's a good budget set up, as long as you don't get one of the older defective models.
I already have a Jackery E1000 and I actually think it is the better deal. I got mine for around $850 on one of their sales and they have free shipping (Not $150) and their customer support has been fantastic. One thing I can say about the Jackery, it charges pretty fast up to about 95% but then it takes a LONG time to charge from 99% to 100% due to their tapered charging close to maximum. It would be interesting to see them charging side by side up to 90% to see if there is really much difference.
One other thing you might want to check into is the type of power cells used. I know Jackery uses the best cells available at the time but some off brand power stations use cheap cells that work great for the first few months but then drop by 20-25% of capacity. My Jackery E1000 is still at 97% of original capacity after a year so I am happy.
Thanks for the information, greatly appreciated. Great video.
Good review. I was looking into buying a Jackery, so glad I found your video. I have a bit more comparing to do. With the money I can save getting to Pecron I can get another solar panel to charge it.
Pecron are only 100.00 less, not such a big deal after all.
Just picked up a Pecron e1000 for $600. There is a whole slew of nice portable power stations coming on the markets. The better ones have the new lithium iron phosphate chemistry that lasts longer, charges faster, and have more cycles in its lifespan. Prices keep dropping.
Solar panel hookups are MC4 connectors.
Weight? Shipping? Do they have a US based office and support? Good video. I don’t like how some ports are on one side and some on the other. Thx for the video and review.
All I can say is , love you guys and all that you do. Always looking for the next episode ❤ be safe !
Great HONEST Review
keep it up
What about the battery chemistry? Temperature shut off send other safety features. The Jackery is the way to go. Customer service is excellent. Got additional chargers. Very rugged. I will pay the extra 200.
Jason you said the capacity of BOTH the batteries totally wrong, its not 1028 kWh battery its a 1028 Wh (Watt Hour) Battery HUGE difference. 1028 Wh = 1.02 kkWh (not 1028 kWh)
great review. thanks!
Appreciate your review. I too am willing to take a chance and buy a cheaper product when an industry leader may be keeping their prices up and resting on their laurels. But there are some cases I still think penny wise, pound foolish still applies. I've been using an Ego Powerstation for some time now as a back up and to keep my travel cooler cold since I have enough Ego batteries for all my lawn equipment. But basically, the Ego Powerstation has been a troublesome, large, bloated piece of junk and has just about given up the ghost (One cell station only works intermittently and the display is dying. So I'm looking for a replacement and had been considering the Jackery 1000. While I was initially excited about saving some $ with the pecan E1000 plus the fact it seemed to be marginally better in some performance tests you did, I've watched other videos and they all have a common theme; They receive products that are broken in some way, missing parts or have manufacturing defects that are obvious. The fact you got a bad power cord and some of the labeling was peeling off should be a warning sign of quality control problems in what is inside. Like the Ego, it may work well for a bit, but I want something that will die because the batteries have been cycled to their lifetime limits or beyond. Not because of some stupid manufacturing defect. Also, Jackery has the 2-year warranty as opposed to 12 months. I think that's worth the extra money for the core of an emergency backup system. I am buying a solar cell bundle that's not the Jackery product. But now we're talking about a $200 product as opposed to a $300 one so I'm willing to take a chance on that.
Can you run/test some camping gear on both? I’m thinking small water kettle, small fan, electric grill, electric cooler. Great vid. I will now consider this option, but I am reading that it’s sold out,
Got one because of this review and love mine. I was a little bummed on the solar voltage requirements, but the price was worth the slight disappointment.
Great review, my friend.
Great review bro
Pecron seems okay and seems to perform well in your initial tests. I'd be curious if it's still working a few years down the road after hundreds of charge cycles. I see it a little different on what I would purchase. Pecron has 1 year warranty while Jackery has a 2 year warranty and extends to 3 years if you register. I read that Jackery reserves some capacity in the battery that never gets issued to ensure a healthy cycle life of the lithium cells so that might account for the extra run time on the Pecron since the watt hours are so close. Jackery has a lot of R&D with their electronics and I think its a huge plus. The engineering put in gives them that confident warranty. Something as simple as an undersized resistor running a little hotter than normal could be the difference of electronic failure in a short time. That is one example of hundreds of parts that make up the guts of these systems. The last thing is the display. I've seen a comparison with the Jackery and a Bluetti outside and on a bright day you cant see anything on the black background display. The Jackery is totally visable and from farther away. I think for me I'll stick with the Jackery since it's an expensive purchase and hoping to get the best chance at keeping mine for a decade! But good luck with your Pecron.
Jackery batteries with constant use die in 8 months, Jackery replaced it, but bitter lesson.. Ask me how i know. I have one, it did. They are lithium ion. Buy the Bluetti, I have one of those too, its a 750 watthour. Much bigger than my Jackery. Dont buy a unit unless it has LifePO4 batteries (lithium IRON) as the batteries last 5x longer, and they are much less likely to flash fry like some have done. Just my experience.
EDIT: After looking at several units, it seems the Pecron might have LifePO4 batteries in some units. Cant say for sure about the one being reviewed. It states lithium, with no specific battery chemistry noted. Its a 50/50 shot.
@@rodx5571 I think what it comes down to is that these solar power stations are quite complex and have a lot of electronics and parts that can fail. I have two small Jackery's one is 3 years old and both work well like the day I bought them. The thing is I don't use them everyday. They are used for power outages, camping, outdoor tasks, on the patio when friends are over if someone needs some power. For my main battery system that I use daily, I have two 100ah LifePO4 batteries from Ecoworthy, the GoPower GP-ISW2000 inverter, Ecoworthy 30a MTTP solar charge controller and the Renogy 500A battery monitor all wired with Blue Sea Systems fuses and blocks in a heavy duty plastic storage bin so I can move the system around. The Eco Worthy LiFePO4 batteries are well rated and use a well known JBD BMS and 3000 cycle life EV cells. But that did not matter, after only about 5 charge cycles one of my batteries started cutting off charging before the battery was full indicating one cell group inside the battery has fallen out of balance and the BMS is cutting power to save them from damage. Point being LiFePO4 wont have a long life either if the electronics or usage conditions around it fail. Bluetti has electronic issues, when I was researching this last about a year ago I read there were some issues that worried me about having a bricked unit eventually. Bluetti Power Inc are also 1 star our of 5 with the Better Business Bureau. So I would not reply on that brand either unless your good with replacing your power station with your own money when it fails. Pecron maybe great but they are really a new company so would take more time for me to commit to them. At least with my larger system its modular where I can just replace a battery, the inverter, or charger if something fails.
@@practicalguy973 modular is infinitely more serviceable. I also have 8 panel array, and 3 charge controllers, 4 lead acid deep cycles. 1 year in losing capacity. So I am exploring alternatives. I do like the Bluetti though. I am aware of intermittent issues with electronics and customer service. My experience has been good so far. I do appreciate alternate view points and feedback. Thanks. I also appreciate open respectful dialog too. Thanks for that too.
@@rodx5571 Nice, I have a small 3 panel array in 12v parallel and 2 portable solar panels that I can add in if needed. I had 4 UPG AGM lead acid for about 5 years. Never took them below about 55-60% DOD. They did well but once they needed to be replaced I decided to try LiFePO4 based on all the benefits. I like that my 200ah of LiFePO4 is only about 50 lbs. 400ah of AGM is about 250 lbs for about the same usable capacity but I miss the simplicity of the AGM lead acid. I considered some of the high end lithium brands like Dakota Lithium and Battle Born but its just too much money if something goes wrong. So instead I spent half the money on batteries that have well known parts but are still an issue. My next move is to order a couple of Overkill solar BMS (which are a version of the JBD BMS) and a couple of their Bluetooth modules. I plan to take a heat gun to both my Ecoworthy batteries and crack them open and upgrade the BMS so I can see what each cell is doing on my phone. I think this is the only way I can safely know if my batteries are going to stay healthy and I can force them to balance with the app control if I notice them falling out of balance. Its just an endless money pit these battery systems. one thing I like a lot are my Go Power Pure Sign Inverters. I own 3 of them, the oldest dating back to about 13 years ago and they all still work to this day but I don't abuse them. I run them at 75% load in the worst case. Yes great having constructive dialogue.
@@practicalguy973 13 years you say eh? Right now I have Renogy charge controllers, a renogy BT2 and a 10 port hub to watch my charge controllers. Nice add on. I can manually change values for LIFepo4 batteries. At only 300 a battery I wish I would have gone with the LIFEpo4. But I am putting the lead acids in the cars I am selling and switching over.
I love it when testers keep wanting to consider one unit better because it goes beyond the spects. I only expect a 1000 or a 500 to perform like it's supposed to. Not work way above expectations. Pretty sure it's not good to keep using it above parameters.
Great review
This whole "thing" about power and solar and watts and amps etc . . does my head in Ive been binge watching Will & Tom on you tube and Im almost convinced that building your own solar generator from decent componenets is much better thn getting one of the shelf as they are always gonna be a commpromise and built to a price.
Now Im gonna watch this video in the hopes that this brand will prove me wrong I do get the simplixtic approach of "plug n play" items like these but as I aid building your own you can get so much more out of them and your not tied in to proprietary irtems such as panels etc . . . I was interested in the Everoak coz Thomas Heaton installed one in his van and on paper it sounded pretty good that was untill Will built a component station in a milk crate that just blew it out of the water!! that set in motion all sorts of ideas that Im currently entertaining
Get out your OHM meter and do a continuity test in each wire while your assistant twists the cord. Probably a broken wire or a wire just not hooked up in the in the factory (robot malfunction)
I kept watching hoping to see the standard 12 volt cigarette lighter type outlets. I need at least one 12 volt outlet. Very strange that it doesn't have one. My refrigerator and hot logic both have 12 volt plugs. Try the Bluetti.
Not true. The pecron has a 12 volt outlet on a cable that is included. I just picked up one this week for $600 which is $300 cheaper than the Jackery.
Good review, thanks. I love that boxie design, even up to point where I wonder why not make the battery swappable. Just a simple door at the back where you shovel in a replacement battery or one that has been charging overnight ready to use. You buy more batteries and have at least 3 on the go with ya, right?
I cant remember who, but there is a company hat makes them like that. But i bet Google knows.
Great info , thank you !
Nice video. Very informative. Currently on Amazon the Pecron costs 789.00 plus a 150.00 "delivery fee". The cost advantage that the Pecron had has now evaporated. FWIW, I'm looking to purchase the Jackery 1000 so this video gave me pause but now that there is no financial advantage. I'm going to go with the Jackery.
Yes, I agree, always stay with tried and true. 👍
What’s up with the 150 delivery fee ? And so it’s sold out , did you get your for free , just asking
No, I didn't buy the Jackery 1000 yet.
Waiting for it to go on sale. I should mention that already own the Jackery 500 and the 300.
Just picked up the Pecron E1000 for $600 with shipping so a year later it was around $300 cheaper than the Jackery. There are literally tons of these coming out and even better with the new lithium iron phosphate chemistry improvement.
I don’t like that it doesn’t have built in 12 volt... cables get lost or misplaced too easy..
Thank you for your review. I found it helpful. I have now purchased a Pecron E1000.
How does it work out for you?
Kudos to you bro for the info.
Pecron lacks 12V outlet which is a draw back. Many camping devices use 12V. It should of been built in imho, not a cable.
It has 1 12V DC cigar port.

Reviews aren't so good on Amazon.
I really wouldn't buy that. You're seriously risking your money. You won't be able to get in touch with customer service, it has awful reviews, and Amazon won't warranty it at all because it's not theirs. Spend money for stuff you know works and is backed by a company that will be around years.
@@serenityjewel really wouldn't what
@@Newbeginnings4TyGrr I really wouldn't buy that battery.
@@serenityjewel oh y not
Thanks, I was looking for something that was a little cheaper lol
Pecrons are cheap because it is very expensive to charge them with solar. You need a Minimum of 36volts. So one 18v 100 watt solar panel wont charge Pecrons. Also you have to use a proprietary MC4 to 4 pin aviation cable. This means you can only connect MC4 solar panels that provide a minimum of 36volts. Try finding a single 36v solar panel with MC4 connectors. Perron sales it for $400!!
Jackery has proprietary solar inputs as well. You have to get adapters to use generic (lower cost) solar panels with the Jackery.
I'm not sure where you're getting your information from but I just picked up a pecron e1000 for $600 on eBay which is $300 less than the Jackery. The input voltage for solar is 29.4 to 40 volts. There are many commercial rigid panels that meet that spec all with MC4 connectors. In fact, when I looked I ran across a solar company selling barely used Trina 250 watt panels for only $75 that are 36 volts. These were taking off a failed business close by and are only 2 years old.
I think that people prefer Jackery because you know you're getting quality and reliability. Buying other brands is always a risk. Glad you did this review though. Another brand to consider now
Names certainly aren't everything, especially when that is all you are paying for.
Irrelevant. People know jackery. They also know that they're getting their moneys worth. Unlike these Amazon buys with no name or unheard of brands. Those are always going to be a gamble
@@vincemontanez3947 not irrelevant at all. I've seen these big companies tank many times with quality, and customer service once they think they are on top. Yet these smaller companies actually have something to strive for. So in the end all you pay for is a name. All i was saying from the beginning. No need to be a hardcore ass. This sort of thing happens a lot. Once they make a name they start cutting corners to lower cost... Exactly why I research, ask around or give the little guys a chance. Besides, why is it ok to price gouge just because you think your company is #1? I have issues with that train of thought.

Hey, Thank you for this topic video! : )
Nice review. On my list.
Curious if you’ve tried all those attachments to verify they work considering the main charging cord did not? 🤷🏻♀️
Would I be using an inverter to get 220 volts or just a step up transformer? Thank you.
Would like to see a close up picture on the pecron e1000
I use Centennial AGM batteries and PowerBright inverters. If the grid is down, I can charge from my car using heavy-duty jumper cables.
Mistuh, U put this most bestest review on and completely abandoned the channel. HELLOOOOO? THERE ARE QUESTIONS WAITING FOR YOUUUUUUUUU. Thank you kindly. 🦄🤸♀️
Followed the Amazon link and the only option is to buy from the manufacture. OK. But shipping is $150 !!
@CJ Wilemon Can't. After a little digging, these are not made in the US. The address on their website is Bassett, California 91746, US. Notice something missing there? The only other contact is a support email and a foreign phone number.
They are showing as not available now on Amazon.
@9:35 Dang, *1000 kWh!!!* That's more than most Tesla home systems!
I have been researching solar generators for months now and it’s so confusing. It’s a large purchase so trying to get what we need. All I want to do is run a 12v camping fridge (kooltron) and charge phones, Bose travel speaker. If you could please let me know if the Pecron 1000w would do this or do I need the 1500w? From research seems Pecron is a better bang for the buck. I’m so confused. Lol! Thank you for this video and your others. Appreciate the help! Peace to you!
If you really want a light on it, you can get an LED Light strip and wrap it around the whole thing so you can see it from all sides.
I agree with you 100% about the complaints of no light. How much does a flashlight cost, these days. Also, are they admitting wanting to carry around a 50 lb. Flashlight?
Your batteries in these devices will last way longer if you keep them above 20%. Don’t run them down to zero!
He was most likely just doing it to show the capabilities of both.
dont need to worry about this with LiFePO4. lasts 10+years without the capacity degradation seen with lithium ion chemistry
@@RagingHamster So is that recommendation for ??? different type of battery installed in this system?
It is good to run packs down to 0 every other month, to stop battery memory.
@@leonardfoster2155 They say the battery memory issue can be corrected in lithium batteries by a full charge/discharge (like you said.)
great review - the only stopper for me in Canada is Pecron's $399 delivery charge - but still about the same price as Jackery with shipping costs. Anyway, excellent revoew I never knew about this brand before.
That's insane. And, why is our dollar so damn low? I smell rigging. It is rigged.
Great review!!!!!!!!!!!!
Currently unavailable, lol, if you bought one of these good luck getting support. Cheaper but not better.
What you prefer. Doing my research?
It's on Amazon currently...
So glad I saw this before I nearly bought a Jackery! Thanks!
me 2
Me three
So it dose work better?!
I am wondering what kind of batteries are in that? If they are not lithium batteries that is not good. Because the cycles of the battery will be way less
Me four! I had the jackery, bluttie, Honda ECT on mind as well.
I have a Pecron Q3000S, takes 13 hours to charge but well worth it in a power outage! Bad part, it came on a slow boat from China during the pandemic.
Lol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just paid 849 for the Jackery Explorer 1000 with free shipping directly from their website. This Pecron sounds like a winner too.
FYI. Grounding does not work, the plugs at ground go nowhere , 2nd 2 years warranty for jackery, and extra year if you register
Thank you! Why I was reading the comments. When he mentioned the grounded plugs I was wondering do you do pound a copper stake in the earth?
@@oldkbellguy5156 well for a real grounding rod, your looking around 4 to 6 feet. But a lot of tools don’t have a 3 prong plug…
nice review and comparison, thank you. What about USB-C / fast charging? Does it have regulated DC Output? Does it have MPPT charging, because of this good input values?
You are hobotech aren’t you. :)
@@jeffstanley1363 YES! Really useful testing and roundup!
They usually include and or take out options on everything out there.
I don’t own ether of these because I can’t afford them but I have a friend that has the Jackery 1000. He uses it on a small boat, when he goes fishing, hunting, camping. He takes it with him all the time and he loves it. The Jackery is worth every penny from what I’ve seen. Yes, expensive but I’d rather pay more to get something that will last.
For about the same price, I bought a diesel generator at auction from a power equipment rental company. I can run that heater for not 1 hour and 20 minutes on low, I can run it for 72 hours on high. Nice unit is a little larger, so you don't want to bring it indoors, as well as has exhaust and noise, but in an ice storm, it can keep your pipes from freezing and keep your freezer from thawing. The batteries are kind of expensive for how little power they hold. 1KWH with a capacity of 1KW isn't much. I can run a full 48 hours at 6KW, without needing to refill.
Comparing some specs
$775 new diesel generator (Westinghouse WGen5300s)
5,300 running watts and 6,600 peak watts
Runs for up to 13.5-hours on a 4.7 Gal.
weighing 143.3 lbs
$899 New Jackery Explorer 1000
1,000 running watts and 2,000 peak watts
Takes about 8 hours to recharge with 2 100 watt solar panels
22lbs + 18lbs solar panels
Unless you plan on moving around a lot a Diesel generator wins. However if these are your ONLY power options after a very long time the Jackery with solar panels would edge out a win in price because of the cost of fuel. Might be doing it wrong but I calculate (Price of diesel $3.30 a gal [varies wildly]) after 37.5 gallons your at the $900, but after ~159 gallons you are break even with the Jackery and it's over priced solar panels. Using a more normal price of 2 new 100 watt solar panels it would take 98 gallons before the Jackery would be the better deal. (Except the fact that the generator can power more things during that time.) So you might want to multiply the gallons by 5.3? Also things to note, you are getting about 2.9 hours per gallon of use.
@@lotoex LOL. Looked up the generator. Did you know that Diesel has a spark plug and manual choke? Have you actually priced a diesel?
An in a Blckout or Civil emergancy, all the noise your genny is making is gonna attract ALL attention you DONT want.
@@leemendenhall1966 I haven't found that to be a problem. Invite the neighbors over to warm up, grab a hot coffee, charge the cell phone, etc. I make sure I don't have cords long enough to go to the neighbors. This in turn will often result in openings for borrowing fuel from neighbors if the outage is extended. Someone with a diesel truck could extend 5 gallons to the neighborhood warming station. The genny is not much louder than a truck idling in a driveway and much quieter than a contractors type generator. A water cooled multi cylinder generator is much quieter than any non quiet model single cylinder air cooled generator. With a few contractor generators running in the area,, the light tower is not noticed. It is also too big for someone to pick up and load. I do park it turned around (noise to the street) and remove the hitch, so low chance of someone connecting and driving off with it.
watched the entire video and got excited, clicked the link, and of course it would be "currently unavailable"! Murphy's Law follows me. lol
So sad... me too... no product
Currently too, lol.
Available now!
thanks for the video buddy
Another plus is that it's flat on top and you could pack it easier for travel.
@5:00
A light ?
Who doesn't have a light ?
Everyone has a light.
Having an extra light is just redundant.
I personally feel that there's No need for another light.
Can you hook up any solar panels or do you have to use theirs specifically?
That's what I would like to know
It uses a MC4 solar connector which is a standard on most new solar panels. The device comes with a cable that uses their connector to the device on one end and a MC4 on the other.
@@paladin11C40 Can u tell me how much it costs and where to get it?
Yes you can, i saw it on another channel,
I'm just checking comments as I just picked up this Pecron E1000 for $600. You can use any solar panel as long as the voltage output is within the window of 29.4 to 40 volts. Many panels are under 29.4 volts so check before you buy. Many commercial rigid glass panels meet these criteria.
Great video. Guess I will be looking into one of these! Thanks for sharing!
Recommendations on a compatible solar panel Please
You didn't mention what type of battery it has, the same old one as Jackery with 500 cycles? Or a new one like Bluetti with 2500 cycles?
And lack of USB-C in 2021 is just a bummer for me.
The pecron is the same as jackery with the lithium-ion technology. The newer competitors coming out have the lithium iron phosphate chemistry which as you said has>2500 cycles, faster charging times, and is more powerful. The downside is that they are heavier. Some weigh over 75 lbs. All the new models now have the USB-C
@@philc.9280 who has LiPos? I'd like to see those
Jackery is coming out with the new 1500 and 2000
Next yr. when they come out with a 2000, I may buy it.
@The people's champ 1983 Probably $1499 with some coupons initially available.
I think they only put the 3rd prong in the AC receptacles because many devices have them. There is no earth ground connection on any isolated power station so people using will have to hope they don't have something defective plugged in and get electrocuted. In a way the Pecron 2 prong receptacles are more accurate to what any of that type of power station is for AC output.
Wrong. The ground will protect from faulty tools etc.
j: hope all is well! Your videos make my year
Thank you so much for calling it what it is, a battery...
Can the pecron supply constant power + be charged with solar panels simultaneously?
See 15:15
Well done
You can go online look up neck fan something that would hang around your neck like a little box what you do is you find a way to mount it on the side of your unit to constantly put in fresh cool air that way the internal fan never needs to kick on I got one that can last 38 hours on low which is perfect at far exceeds the battery life of my Jack
Is the 12v outlet regulated? Is the battery Lithium Iron or Lithium Phosphate.
just looked it up on the site before watching the vid, its not phosphate. starts dying 70% at 1000 cycles... pass
Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.
@CJ Wilemon ...your reliable source, friend?
Thumbs up, thanks for the very good review. About the light on the devices. Sure one may use it if it’s there but if you a person who has a power unit like these and don’t have an other light source - cellphone, flashlight, LED lantern etc - or a light source you can plug in via USB then I don’t think this device is for you. It’s hardly a dealbreaker. I would go for the Pecron for the value for money, law of diminishing returns and not paying for a brand name.
I have 20+ devices with lights on them. I don't need one, at all, on a power supply.
Thanks!!
