Great video "JOHNNY'S WEEKENDS" P.S. We are building the full 15,000wh system right now (ordered 2 weeks ago and waiting for the next batch to ship) P.S. Can not wait to get this unit, we have been waiting foe a long time since they announced it :)
Got one on order. Hope to get it soon so I can start using it with my other energy production and management equipment to finally go off grid for good.
I own 2 Honda 2200i one being the companion. It is good to know that I can use the 30 amp plug to charge it this fast. I feel Pecron in a couple of years will be the big dog in this field. Thanks for a great video.
I've seen a couple of your videos on these units, and they are really impressive. Appreciate you going into such detail to provide some really beneficial insights. Thanks for sharing!
This is very awesome feature, in regards to overloading the generator, It would be awesome if they could implement a feature where you set the maximum watts of your generator and it auto balances charging/pass through.
Great 1st and 2nd reviews. I definitely like that Pecron didn't brick the Xtra batteries the way Ecoflow does. That's a lot of money sitting around if you can't repair/ replace the main unit. I may order one of these, thanks. My 500cc extraction pumps I ordered from your link came 2 days ago, and they're Great. Thanks for those as well.
I know! ECOFLOW …what’s up?? lol I like Ecoflow but the batteries being useless really bug me. They better figure that out. Pecron coming on strong ! I just used the oil extractor a hour ago 😂
Great testing, Johhny! Thanks for clarifying this awesome future. I only tested the normal 15 amp pass-through on my unit so it's good to see it can do the same at the 30 amp charging cable.
So, just to be clear on this feature. It does not act like some of the Magnum or Victron inverters and take what is coming from an external source (like a generator) and add to it from the batteries to "make up" or accommodate a load, like an AC unit. In that way, a smaller generator could be used to power an AC unit above its capacity with help from the solar generator.
Hi Johnny, good presentation. I like the Pecron 3600, great features and inverter capacity but here is the THINGY. I don´t want to give up my 4 CHEAP and Brand NEW batteries of 12V- 300Amp with 200 Amp BMS each. That is around 15 kwH. Right now I am still wired in 12V parallel but I am flexible and will go 24V or 48V if required. The idea is everything out and using the Pecron as my new control unit. So everything wired up in one compact unit that I can take out !!! EASY !!! for repair and service. So will Pecron listen ??? There is no way I am going to buy those expen$ive Pecron expansion batteries. I want to charge and discharge my 15 kwH batteries with the Pecron and charge the Pecron with solar and a small generator for back up.

The only additional thing I would need is a high current DC charge from an alternator as that will be my primary means of charging on trips. The Ecoflow Delta 3 with the Ecoflow DC-DC charger meets those needs but I'd love to see other vendors systems have the same capability.
Pecron makes a 12VDC 500W charger that you hook direct to the car battery and place in the solar connection for faster car charging. It $149.99 on their website.
You actually can’t. You need a 240v generator. Unless there is a new cable. They used to allow 120v high watt charging with DPU but firmware cancelled that as well
@scottL-ch6qb that doesn’t allow 120v 30amp charging, 240v only. Again no other small portable unit does this that I know unless Ecoflow changes the firmware to allow a dogbone down to 120v charging from that adapter plug
@@johnnysweekendsI believe Jasonoid tested this, the infinity port supports 4000W 240V input but it disables all AC outputs The IEC input supports either 120V or 240V input with AC outputs working but only a max of 1800W input either way.
Did you watch my review on DP3? It can actually handle a total of 7000 watt input but a extra battery is needed and that 240v input cable Both 120/240 output from the inverter is disabled. Inverter will stay on with 120v 15 amp cable but up to 1800 watts. That’s it. DP3 is a great unit minus a couple small things I mentioned
A few questions on the 3600. First I don't see the connector box joining 2 units to make it 7200W on their website - is it included with the solar generators? Second if you order now "when" is the anticipated "delivery" date? Finally, do the extra batteries you can get have a cascade feature and how do you "program" the 3600 like you have to do with the 2000? Thanks in advance. God Bless:)
I think the connector or double voltage hub box is still pre order as well and is not included from what i was told. As far as ordering i would contact for latest shipping time. I dont know if they cascade with all the batts. I would assume but dont know 100%. Maybe an update will let you choose like some other units.
Somewhere in my research I came across a 100 ft solar panel cable, and for the life of me, I can't find it again. My interest is to do what you did with the propane generator feeding the battery, while the battery is supplying power. Do you have any idea where I can find a 100 ft (or longer) cable? Thanks!
Awsum, My Titans take in 1500w ac + 2000w solar + 250w 12v, all at the same time while outputting 3000w ac. But hey its 6yrs old, glad to see others are catching up 😊
This does 2400 watt solar in and 3200 watt ac at the same time and capable of max output of 3600 watt and expandable to over 15.3kwh I think it’s far surpassed..👍🏼 Titans are good though
This unit is small enough that it fits behind the front drivers seat of my 2022 power wagon with the seat all the way back. I also found out that I have enough room to put a expansion battery under it behind the seat. That will give me over 6000 WHs. The only bad thing I see so far is that it can be controlled by WIFI but not Bluetooth. Bluetooth would make it easier to use in remote situations using my phone.
I think this is kind of a bug or feature not fully implemented. I have a Vigorpool that I can do AC input of 800watts and draw 1200watts, meaning it's only pulling 400watts from the battery. I need Pecron to provide this support for me to be able to buy one of these. If it can do that, can you please update me here in the comments or post a new video showing this feature. I think this Pecron E3600 is incredible but this feature needs to be working so you can do something like 1200 watt generator, 400watt solar, 1200-2000 watt draw.
Nice review! If you solar charge the power station and charge additionally the extra battery with a solar panel, will it show up in the screen (add the additional solar yield)?
well my order was placed at the beginning of the month and i still have not received it. now its under blackfriday sale. percron get your #### together.!
Can this be connected with the grid to help reduce power bill, only pulling from grid to cover surges or at night when no solar charge? Pull from the pecron unit first then the grid? Thank you
Yes the customer service is horrible for the average person. Naturally a RUclipsr gets good customer support. There’s no phone number to call so you have to deal with them through email. They will answer you eventually once a day about 2 AM (China time) and numerous times ask for video proof of the problem. They stall you hoping you’ll give up.
Would you buy two 3600’s and pigtail them before buying the expansion batteries so you could utilize the two 3600’s? Did you think of that post running these through testing.
@johnnysweekends I need your help. I want to use my first solar generator primarily for camping but also in case of power outages. The main thing is that id like to be able to power a portable air conditioner or heater when its super hot or cold. I attempted camping in 100 degree heat this summer. Whew. Im trying to decide between the Pecro. 3600 lfp, pecron 2400 lfp, bluetti 200 v2, or pecron 1500lfp. Im a little concerned about weight but pecron has a trolley for the 3600. Im completely new to solar. What should i do? Just tell me please. Im so tired of looking at videos. Im stressed. Lol. --tent camping
I am having issues with my unit (ep3600lfp). As long as I don’t have input power, it runs my circuits I have connected via my 30amp output. When I plug my unit in to external power, 15 amp, within about 20-30 min, it cuts off all output. Any ideas. Charging only set to 50%. Output hasn’t gone above 1500watts.
Do you need a bonding plug on champion when charging the Pecron and the three Pecron to Rv? Is there. I see it’s prudent to turn off converter in video. Some say use a binding plug. Why? Good video.
@@Cabernet2000 If your generator is a floating neutral and you are using it to charge the PECRON then you should use a bonding plug. If you attach a floating neutral generator to a transfer switch connected to your home panel you would NOT use a grounding plug as the panel is already grounded and you don’t want two grounds which can put amperage on your neutral and cause a dangerous situation. So the answer is that it depends on the situation.
Can you set the charge rates with out using the smart phone ap ? I ask because what would you do if your phone is lost or dead, or the ap stops being supported.
Yesss! You’ll need the hub but I already had this connected to my 50 amp Rv running both AC units. Now granted you have to remember that’s a 3000 watt load normally on a really hot day and you are working that system for a single unit but two is no problem plus 4 solar inputs !! I can run my whole 50amp Rv off this but obviously not everything at once. But with two units that’s a good amount of power and can expand over 30kwh of power. That’s nuts! But also a lot of weight. They are still doing pre sale pricing two. Discount Code: JOHNE3600LFP Pecron Official E3600:www.pecron.com/products/pecro... Amazon: amzn.to/4bY0xuj Affiliate link
AC input charging will be shut off on a 220VAC split phase two unit system so you wont be able to charge the units while running. AC charger wont work in 220VAC mode according to other reviewers. I was thinking you could still use a generator and use cheap AC to high voltage DC power supplies and plug them into the solar connections to fool the units into thinking they are getting solar power to charge both units whith a generator while the duel E3600LFP's inverters are outputting for faster recharging. Think you could get 4 of these off ebay. 36V 48V 60V 72V Li-ion LiFePo4 Lithium Battery Fast Charger Adjustable 1-15A.
Pecron needs a couple switches to adjust the input rate. I doubt I will have internet when the power goes out. All this wifi control via an app chit is silly.
Funny, I have the same champion generator and both the 1500lfp and the preorder 3600lfp. Not my favorite unit, that’ll be the ecoflow, but definitely the best bang for your buck.
@@johnnysweekends My biggest issue with the Pecron is WiFi connectivity. It used to update but now it connects but doesn’t update unless you’re connected directly. A few other quirks as well but nothing major. 1500lfp still going strong after a year of daily usage plus the extra battery. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.
Does this work in the 240V configuration? For example, if you had two E3600LFP batteries in a 240V config, can you power them both from some other source, and then when power from that source drops, they carry on powering the connected devices like a UPS?
To me the worst part about this pecron is the power loss from DC to dc. Do their extra batteries also have that loss? Seems the anker solo f3800 doesn't do that, it's dc power has almost no parasitic draw
@@johnnysweekends okay yea, I misunderstood what exactly was being tested and wasn't comparing apples to apples. Now I understand, thanks. I guess this thing is pretty awesome then
Thank you. I have a question. Do you think you charge (2) Pecron E3600LFP units while they are connected via the Pecron Connection Box while they are powering 240v to a house via a 30 amp generator Power Inlet Box?
Ac input are turned off when using two E3600LFPs in 220VAC mode so no you can not use them as passthrugh like a single unit can. This sucks but I guess you will have to switch to 120VAC and charge each power station one at a time with a generator using the 30amp cable for fast charging. Im going to have a electrician set up a 120VAC and a 220VAC input socket to my panel.
@@johnnysweekends Yes I plan doing just that during a power outage to recharge the Pecron E3600LFPs batteries. Got any recommendations on a ac to dc converter that can handle the 2400 watt at 150Vdc?
Unfortunately their APP is garbage and there's almost zero customer support. Very disappointing, I'd like to buy one but won't risk spending $1600 for a potential brick.

What rep were you able to talk to? Ordered a $2k + worth of stuff and have had issues. Their customer service is obviously based in china cause they only want to answer me days later and when it's the middle of the night here in the US
Actually it can’t. This is the only all in one and portable unit that can. Although it’s still heavy, the Bluetti units are dead bricks with out a battery. So now you need two pieces to complete the same task. Ac500 is way too big. So again technically the first all in one portable unit. I don’t remember the ac300 doing 30 amp charging and being able to use 30 amp out feature at same time ..🤔 But I don’t have that model
@@johnnysweekendsAhh yes, if the criteria is one box, then yes you are correct. AC300 can do 25A/3000W, and AC500 can do 41A/5000W, both in out simultaneously but they are both multiple pieces. You show an extra battery so I wasn’t sure.
@DougKremer yea it’s just one of the expansion batteries. But such a good unit especially for the price. And as long as it lasts. Super basic but functional
I just have to ask maybe you will maybe you won't answer me but why do you keep on saying Pacron and not Pecron .... I deem you as one of the best when it comes to the content that you make on RUclips. So for you to be mispronouncing a word like that its annoying. Maybe your messing around or maybe im not hearing you clearly i could be wrong. Smh

This has changed my mind about building my on, very pleased because using a small generator in conjunction with Pecron is very smart.
That’s perfect for home backup with a generator inlet for the 120 volt loads.
You can buy two E3600LFP units and push out 240V with the combiner box they sell.

Thanks Jason! Pecron did a great job on this one 👍🏼
Does the inverter cut off when you cut the grid power? That was my issue with the bluetti ac200l
@mikegolfmike no, when i show the generator it still maintains power out with basically no cut over. It was smooth!
So, just to be clear on this feature. It does not act like some of the Magnum or Victron inverters and take what is coming from an external source (like a generator) and add to it from the batteries to "make up" or accommodate a load, like an AC unit. In that way, a smaller generator could be used to power an AC unit above its capacity with help from the solar generator.

Funny, I have the same champion generator and both the 1500lfp and the preorder 3600lfp. Not my favorite unit, that’ll be the ecoflow, but definitely the best bang for your buck.
If they hold and do what they are supposed to do then the price is amazing !!
@@johnnysweekends My biggest issue with the Pecron is WiFi connectivity. It used to update but now it connects but doesn’t update unless you’re connected directly. A few other quirks as well but nothing major. 1500lfp still going strong after a year of daily usage plus the extra battery.
I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.
Those pecron charge percentages don't jive with what it actual charges at
Several factors involved besides a number. Input, bms and more. You always have fluctuations
I’ve got a 7000 kW generator. Can I use that to charge up? My three pack runs all hooked together.
Needs to be a inverter generator
When are you going to do a review of Ampaura purea 3?
Idk 🤷🏼♂️
Please remind me why the converter to be turn off in RV? Sorry to ask.
Efficiency loss from AC to DC and if on it burns energy doing nothing. Charge batteries with solar! 👍🏼
Does this work in the 240V configuration? For example, if you had two E3600LFP batteries in a 240V config, can you power them both from some other source, and then when power from that source drops, they carry on powering the connected devices like a UPS?
Edit. The answer is no. However, you can use the DC inputs on the E3600LFP and on all the EP3000s to max out charging that way.
To me the worst part about this pecron is the power loss from DC to dc. Do their extra batteries also have that loss? Seems the anker solo f3800 doesn't do that, it's dc power has almost no parasitic draw
They all lose a little when the unit is turned on. Some a little more than other but most are all with in 1%
@@johnnysweekends okay yea, I misunderstood what exactly was being tested and wasn't comparing apples to apples. Now I understand, thanks. I guess this thing is pretty awesome then
Thank you. I have a question. Do you think you charge (2) Pecron E3600LFP units while they are connected via the Pecron Connection Box while they are powering 240v to a house via a 30 amp generator Power Inlet Box?
Thats what I want to know!
That would be Awsome if it does.
If it’s being charged with solar only
As
Most work this way… I would like to have two to confirm but I don’t
Ac input are turned off when using two E3600LFPs in 220VAC mode so no you can not use them as passthrugh like a single unit can. This sucks but I guess you will have to switch to 120VAC and charge each power station one at a time with a generator using the 30amp cable for fast charging. Im going to have a electrician set up a 120VAC and a 220VAC input socket to my panel.
@Deagle367 or charge from dc using buck converters or ac to dc converters to trick it.
Works great 👍🏼
@@johnnysweekends Yes I plan doing just that during a power outage to recharge the Pecron E3600LFPs batteries. Got any recommendations on a ac to dc converter that can handle the 2400 watt at 150Vdc?

can the ecoflow alternator charger charge this as well?
Sorry no
where do you get the 30amp 120 plug?
I thought it comes with it…or maybe it’s separate order if you wanna fast charge..🤔
@johnnysweekends mine come with it, but i haven't tested it yet
@@johnnysweekends I used your code and ordered the 30kw system do you know when they plan to start shipping?
@sc5102day I think they have started
Unfortunately their APP is garbage and there's almost zero customer support. Very disappointing, I'd like to buy one but won't risk spending $1600 for a potential brick.
So you dont have one? Have you had to personally contact customer service?
Discount code?

What rep were you able to talk to? Ordered a $2k + worth of stuff and have had issues. Their customer service is obviously based in china cause they only want to answer me days later and when it's the middle of the night here in the US
Everyone’s CS is based in China now. Best way is to find FB group and get help through those.
Bluetti AC300 and AC500 can do this.
Actually it can’t. This is the only all in one and portable unit that can. Although it’s still heavy, the Bluetti units are dead bricks with out a battery. So now you need two pieces to complete the same task.
Ac500 is way too big.
So again technically the first all in one portable unit.
I don’t remember the ac300 doing 30 amp charging and being able to use 30 amp out feature at same time ..🤔
But I don’t have that model
@@johnnysweekendsAhh yes, if the criteria is one box, then yes you are correct. AC300 can do 25A/3000W, and AC500 can do 41A/5000W, both in out simultaneously but they are both multiple pieces. You show an extra battery so I wasn’t sure.
@DougKremer yea it’s just one of the expansion batteries. But such a good unit especially for the price. And as long as it lasts.
Super basic but functional
@@johnnysweekends I agee. It’s a ridiculous price for what you get, if it lasts.
Just $6000?
That’s if you buy the whole system with all expansion batteries. That’s actually a really good price for that much storage in a compact portable.
@@johnnysweekends guess your target audience is not those who are homeless living in their vehicles.
@rgruenhaus I don’t know my target audience. I just put out videos that may help anyone or everyone, or what I may find interesting
Stop saying "pee cron"
These things are getting cheap!
I just have to ask maybe you will maybe you won't answer me but why do you keep on saying Pacron and not Pecron .... I deem you as one of the best when it comes to the content that you make on RUclips. So for you to be mispronouncing a word like that its annoying. Maybe your messing around or maybe im not hearing you clearly i could be wrong. Smh
It’s the way it’s said. At least from everywhere I have heard it. Tamato, tomato ya know….🤷🏼♂️. Always heard it pronounced Pa-cron.
