I have to agree with you on the solar input. They have it perfect with the e3600 and the e2000. The extra charge controller on them makes hooking up panels so much easier and faster. I just don't want them to fall into the anker game of low voltage so you have to buy our over priced panels. Having the extra charge controller is huge in my opinion. I am like you I could care less about how fast this charges from the wall. Lol
Yep, we look at AC charging as a backup plan, not as a primary source of power. P.S. people want to buy these for the "SUN" power, not the wall power :)
Very minor new offering, mostly just a modest upgrade of E1500LFP for those who want portability, but feel that 1.5kw is not enough. Nice to see adjustable AC charging rate, so people can charge this device from the small portable generators, but otherwise it's an identical model. Pecron also for some reason reduced warranty on this new model. Every other model is advertised as 2+3 years, but the new model is only advertised as 2+1.
Yep, we noticed that about the shorter warranty. but, not all systems have that 5 years. Only 2 have it. The following models get the 5 year warranty according to pecron's website. e300lfp e500lfp e600lfp e2000lfp e1500lfp -----> 2+3 years e3600lfp -----> 2+3 years eb3000 ep3000
Agree completely. This doesn't make any sense, it looked like they were moving forward, but this is a step backwards. When you have a 8k system this is a problem. I get you can do the batteries too, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having an all in one system.
Adjustable charge rate is a big plus. That was missing from the E1500LFP. I'm also wondering how much it weighs when compared to the E1500LFP. Since this new power station does not have the TT30 outlet, I see it more as an upgrade to the E1500LFP than as a replacement for the E2000LFP.
We heard in a hobotech review video that pecron fired their head quality control person this year. We really wish that all companies that sold this stuff had real stores that you could go in and as questions and test this stuff in real time. or if you ever had a problem, you could have it dealt with right away. P.S. That is why we started this channel, is to have a scriber family that helps each other learn about this stuff, so if the companies do not do a good enough job with answering the question, the scriber family is kinda like a backup plan :)
I am sure you already know this but you can connect to your Pecron with Bluetooth only but you have to disable WiFi and Cellular service. Not exactly what you want but if you are in the woods without either, it is an option.
Yep, we mentioned this hundreds of times in our videos. But, there is a catch with doing this....you have to link it FIRST with the wifi and then use the bluetooth setting. *bluetooth will not activate until you sign in to your account through wifi ;) We like bluetti's app much better for the bluetooth when it comes to that. *it is 100% BLUETOOTH ONLY !!!!! (Zero wifi, Zero email, Zero passwords) P.S. Thank you for the info :)
Not yet! We have only been doing solar for about 2+ years, so we are very new when it comes to the solar industry (we mainly focus on portable power stations for now) because that is what we needed for our situation. and the channel was created because we wanted to try to create a community of awesome people so we can all learn this stuff together :)
If you had the choice, would you choose the 2400 LFP or 1000 LFP? I don’t really need the power as I just want to run a single fridge in case of emergency. Trying to figure out if the future expandability of the 2400 LFP is worth me spending the extra $400 for
A fridge uses a lot more power than people think. 50-150 watts for the average fridge is apx 1,200-3600 watts a day. So that means that you need 600 - 1,800 watts a day apx. *totals are cut in half because a fridge does not run all the time, it cycles. NOTE: The heated battery for cold temps idea is a nice feature on the e1000lfp, but the expansion batteries do not have heaters in them, so do not let that be the deciding factor if you plan on expanding. P.S. If it were me making the choice, I would grab the e2400lfp only because 1,000wh is not much power and if you really decide in upgrading, you can add that 2nd battery to that one. but hat is just my opinion because everybody upgrades.
@@RamblinBobReviewsThats solid advice. I ordered the ef1000 and ep3000 battery combo a few days ago I really liked the size factor of the 1000 just in case it needed to be moved by my father -in- law but chances are the units will never move. They will be stored in an insulated garage in southern Louisiana so most likely will never see temps below 30 degrees at the extremes My wife and I are team truck drivers. She loves to meal prep and cook with what little time we have when we are home. My father in law loves his daughter and is constantly worried about the fridge as temporary power interruptions are common in New Orleans. I got him a 2200 watt gasoline generator but its a pain to deal with for 3-6 hour power outages. I think I will see if they will swap my order over to the 2400lfp from the 1000lfp. Those rubber covered ports would have been nice tho Thanks for the help!

e1500lfp -----> 2+3 years

ep3000
Wish solar input was better though
100% agree
Yes should have been 2 separate 600 watt inputs. Or even two separate 400 watt solar inputs.
Agree completely. This doesn't make any sense, it looked like they were moving forward, but this is a step backwards. When you have a 8k system this is a problem. I get you can do the batteries too, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having an all in one system.
Or at least a 1,000 or 1,200 watt input for that 5 pin

Got the measurements
Thank you for the info :)

Yes, that AC charging upgrade is a very big deal :)
If we were to guess at the weight, we would say apx 45 pounds.
I love Pecron, but there are real problems with their QC and customer support.

Thank you very much for the video❤❤❤
You're welcome :)
P.S. Thank you for watching :)
Enjoy your videos. Do you ever review larger systems like the EG4 18pvk or even the new flex boss 21 which seems amazing. Thank you

This could be a backup plan for that in you need :)
