Thank you for all the information. I watched a bunch of videos on this power station but your video was the best. I ordered one now I’m going to watch the video on how you built the expansion battery. Hoping I can built my own expansion battery!
I have been buying appliances below 1k watts, so that I can run them off this one should I need to for a short emergency. Also I am planning on getting a lithium extension battery to extend its duration. My fridge runs of a bluetti with 3k inverter, but I am sure it will run off this one since is a small new one that for the most part uses less than 100 watts at every cycle. The compressor highest I see is 200 watts.
I just got this one. Could not pass up the deal. So far so good. I am in TX, and we are having lame days, so it is hard to keep it on solar. It charges, but it takes longer. I can wait for more sunny days to hook it up to my two flex 100w panels.
Great review. I stumbled across your video researching whether I could use an Ecoflow 160W solar panel 21.4V (Vmp 18.2V) with the Pecron E600LFP. Looks like it will be no problem. Thanks.
Hello I am a newbie, do we need to connect fuse when connecting from battery to solar station input? From 12 volt to 29 volt and 10 amp peckron solar station input without boost converter will battery put steady 8amp? If i have 100ah battery? My pecron 1000wh shows solar input 29v and 10amp, will i be able to connect without fuse from life po4 battery to pecron 1000wh without any fuse?
@@PreppinontheCreek12 Thanks for your reply but I want to put without fuse from life p04 battery to 29 volt 10 amp input pecron solar station to charge solar station . Will it work.? Or I need to put fuse? Will Pecron input accept 12 volt as it mention 29.4 volt.
@raf982 Could you let me know which Pecron you have so I can better answer your question. I'm confused about the 29.4v your mentioning. The Pecron E600LFP has two dc input ports: the top port is 12v-18v. The bottom port is capable of 35v-95v. You can plug a 12v battery into either one of the ports and it will transfer power. It will work without a fuse but that is your decision if you want to do it without a fuse. I hope that is helpful. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
@@PreppinontheCreek12 I have Pecron 1000w solar, it has two port one for input 29.4v/10a and one DC output for 12v/10A. Not sure if it is 12V-29v limit. What if connect 12v 100ah battery to its input, will it work? Will the current will flow backwards to battery from solar or not? Solar station has built in charge controller I believe does current go backwards or not? If I put boost converter, will it work? I have 200 pecron solar panel and I charge pecron with it and I have from wall ac charger. After seeing your video I am thinking to charge using 12v 100ah battery. But I am thinking how 29.4v 10amp will take 12v and around 8amp. Thanks for your reply.
@@raf982 if you attach the battery to the solar input of the power station it should work. I think the 29v is the max voltage you can input on that port. So 12v should work.
My display goes from bright to dim, but never goes out as long as something is plugged in. And I love the shit out of that, I get so tired of continuously pushing that damm button, to see the screen. And hear's something else I discovered, when charging at 388 watts solar (that was the most I got)you can get the inverters max of 1200 watts plus the 388 for 1588, the extra juice comes directly off the panels. I love this thing. And to top it off I got it for less than 300 out the door.

That’s great, it is an awesome power station for its size. The expansion battery is a great idea. Thanks watching and commenting.
Could I connect 3 100ah lifepo4 batteries in series to 5-pin input port to get max wattage?
You should be able to. That would be 38.4 volts. Well under the 95v max input.
Enjoyed the video , will continue watching your content.
Thank you, it’s much appreciated.

How do I get the extra warranty year? I do not see a scan code.
You need to register your Pecron on their website within 30 days of purchase to get the extra year. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
@@PreppinontheCreek12 Thanks, I did it!

Thank you for watching and for the comments.
Good review. Nice mix of tech and consumer info. I just picked up one for $296 to use as a cheap back-up solution for my Bluetti.
This is a good power station, not perfect but one of my favorites. I think you will like it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I watched your video for a third time. Every time, I learned something about this little device to help get better use from it. Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching and for your nice comments.
That a nice deal .

You can use a fuse. The battery I used in the video has a fuse inside the battery box that is 100 amps. Thank you for watching and commenting.

That power station has its own version of x-boost magic and you cant turn it off....as long as it isnt too big.
Why does the display keep going off?
The display dims and then turns off after so many seconds. You can push any button to get it to come back on.
Oh! Okay! Thank you for your quick response! I don’t know very much about solar, and there’s quite a learning curve! Thanks again!
@@evelyny7037 no problem, thanks for watching.
