    Issue seems to be with the E3600LFP, Pecron used a non standard female plug that doesn't have the proper angled faces on the pillar, they are too rounded. Solution would be to flatten those edges so plugs fit in.

    No problem sourcing XT60 but what would be very handy is an XT60 90 degree connector. That 30Amp DC port is really nice for those of us who are using the Pecron in their RV... an angled connector would be so much easier to keep (the plug) from getting damaged, as it wouldn't be sticking straight out into harms way.
    I've search the web but found none available in the U.S

      That's a very good idea and observation

    Remember IF you make your own cords, pay attention to the polarity of the connector. Make sure you pos/neg are on the correct posts.

      Yes, that's essential! It's a good reminder to double-check.

    Hobotech said (at the 4:40 mark in his E3600LFP review) that's a XT60EF jack on the E3600LFP. So I THINK the XT60HM is the proper male connector to use. You're jamming those in. I wouldn't want to break a solder point inside the unit. Maybe I'm too gentle with stuff.

      Good to know! I have their e1500LFP here, and it is just a normal xt60 plug. I guess the issues folks are having are with that e3600LFP with the odd xt60 version, as you say. On those, good point on forcing it.

      ​@@dave_in_az I just realized, I think the E in XT60EF means it's mountable (something that's mounted into a unit that has mounting holes) as opposed to a regular connector which is just XT60M or XT60F (male or female). So that DC-out is a XT60EF (mounted inside and female) and the 2 solar XT60s would be called XT60EM (mounted and male). I was first under the impression that the rounded (not angular) look of that Pecron jack was a different/older version of XT60 and required a matching "rounded" plug, but I think the XT60 standard/shape are all the same. (And the H simply means the plug has a longer grip area.) Live and learn.

      Thanks! Yah, when standard plugs start deviating to "improve" things, it pretty much messes them up as a standard. Good info.

    i am having this problem. thanks for posting. at the 0:42 mark in your video, it looks like you are plugging an xt60H into the pecron and it worked just fine. so is it that some xt60Hs work and others don't?

    • @dave_in_az
      @dave_in_az  Месяц назад

      Not sure. Both round and angled outer edge of shield work fine on E1500LFP. My research says the xt60H is just the added integrated grip at the base, not round exterior of sheath. I still haven't seen a good picture of where the interference points causing issues are, but HAVE seen some cheap xt60 without angled interior sides... I think those are the issue.

      @@toddringler7858 glad to hear! Sounds like the Pecron port doesn't allow for the rounded outside edge much. Good luck!
