The only thing I wish you would add (and this is not possible until you get some major financial backing) is a tear down with analysis of battery pack/BMS, inverter, DC board (I love PD controller IC’s), MPPT and internal AC charger. I’d love to see you pull the battery pack out identify the cells, pack configuration and commentary on how the voltage choice affects conversion efficiencies kinda like you did here I’m very curious to see who is using prismatic cells/pouches/cylindrical. I would assume the big boys have to be prismatic or pouch to save on space. I can’t imagine cylindrical 32700 cells or even some “non standard” sizes like big 15Ah cells are small enough/light enough to beat 8 75Ah cells this thing likely has. 3.2*8=25.6*75=1920wh is how I got 8S1P 75Ah cells. Could be pouch because I know 75Ah LiFeP04 pouch cells exist.

Just purchased this 2 weeks ago. Very portable with the trolley they sell in the solar kit. Very impressive and no worries for my wife while I’m at work at night. Hurricane Michael made her a believer when I pulled out my 5kw gen that kept us going for 11 days. I figured this will at the very least will save fuel cost on a gas generator. Awesome technology.

I ordered the bundle at the Pecron website. When it arrived I plugged my full sized refrigerator freezer. I was very pleased. Then I plugged in my two small freezers. Perfect. I'm very pleased with this power station and with a quick response from customer service. For me it is a great purchase.

Hurricane Ian just left us last night. Only suffered 11 hour power outage, but I can tell you, my small Bluetti barely cut it for just a router. Looking to upgrade today. Your videos really make that process easier. Thank you for all your work.

I bought an E3000 shortly after they were released. It failed after about 3 months, cycling each day on 4 solar panels. The company agreed to replace it with the LFP2000 and hold the difference in credit towards an expansion battery but overall the customer service was garbage. No phone number to call and no other compensation was offered for the massive inconvenience or money lost waiting. It cost me $250 to ship it back. So far, I like the new model (I got a black one) but until the expansion batteries become a reality, I'm just sitting here waiting.

This is very useful information and often common with their customer support. I ordered a 2000LFP and wasn't able to charge anywhere near "1200 watts" as advertised, after each of the 2 MPPT charge controllers got past 400 watts each with solar the unit stops charging until you re-plug them in. They claim it's a "software" issue and while I wanted my Renogy panels to work they offered a refund. Only email for communication was a pain but at least they paid return shipping! Maybe they will fix this one day, shame this review video doesn't go in depth on the PV charging, isn't that a key feature to dive into?

Great review! When you pressed the AC button, and the power factor came up as 0.6, i was surprised. Most of the time you will see between 0.7 and 1 and this would mean the inverter is rated at 3333 VA. I'm guessing that the low PF is one of the reasons the unit has low parasitic losses when idling. I don't know if you checked it to see if it can actually deliver the specified 2000 watts, but that would be a useful test. That down stairs refrigerator is the gold standard test and i look at that for all of the larger generators, as that is what i use mine for:)

I bought the package w/dolly & 2 panels last month & have been very impressed so far, testing with around the house items. I'm curious if your Orange amp test was with a solid state or tube amp?

Good review. I like how you save time in the review video by showing the results instead of a time lapse of the test and then the results like HoboTech does. If the unit is hooked up to AC and the battery is fully charged does the power pass through without the loss of 100 watts like you showed when it is charging?

Thabks Ron, I'm glad people noticed my "faster / efficient" process. That's my goal! 😁 When using a wall charger you have efficiency losses from 120vac to the DC power of the battery. That 100 watts or so is the loss of efficiency + running the cooling fans + the leds lights on the charger. It all adds up. Overall I think that's pretty normal, even with power stations with built in AC chargers.

I had a small issue with part of the delivery. I used the contact us on the website. I received an answer in less than 24 hours.

Thank you for the very detailed review. This was really helpful. I'm not very well versed with these and I'm wondering if this one would power my home's oil burning furnace if I were to lose power during the winter. I'm happy to know it will run the fridge.

@Jasonoid

Жыл бұрын

Since the oil furnace uses oil to create heat, it doesn't use much electricty. You should be able to run your oil furnace during a power outage on the E2000. The key to getting the longest runtime possible would be to run the furnace for 30 minutes straight, then turn it off for an hour or two, then run the furnace for another 30 minutes.

Please add a disclaimer in your video that billing on the Pecron official website is done through Hong Kong and not the U.S and a 2% international transaction fee will be charged by your bank or credit card company after purchase. The website says free shipping across the U.S mainland but this is simply not the case if you live in the U.S and the website does not disclose this information at checkout or anywhere on the website. Thanks!

Looks like Pecron has a couple of performance issues on the AC side, struggling with a large inductive load due to voltage limiting with high AC loads and noise on the line. The external power brick contributes to the compactness of the generator. Good price for this generator.

When I looked back in my records, on my initial order, the same thing happened for the additional charger I ordered. I was charged for product I had yet to receive. I personally find this practice of billing before shipping the product to the customer a questionable practice.

Great review Jason! As others mentioned, while the Pecron doesn't have the fancy features, it does all the basics right. I personally don't need a UPS. Love that the batteries are usable and rechargeable on their own, and their pricing is great. I have EcoFlow, and wish it had some of the features of the Pecron. I'd be interested to see follow-up reviews if you decide to get the expansion batteries. BTW, looking at the expansion batteries, it appears there's no physical limit on how many you can connect since each battery has 2 ports and they're dasiy-chained. I wonder why the limitation to 2 expansion batteries only. Is it just the main unit's inability to communicate with more than 2 EBs? It'd be pretty sweet to connect, say, 4 EBs to get 14kWh!

Argh, why did they not add the bidirectional inverter and UPS function that the E1500 Pro has? Then it looks like it would be perfect for its capacity size and price point. We got a direct hit from Hurricane Ian and will probably still be out of power for days if not weeks. I had been on the fence about a solar generator for months, waiting for the ‘perfect’ one. The E2000 is nearly there much like the Bluetti AC200max. Anyway when I saw Ian heading our way last Friday I jumped on Amazon and got the much smaller Bluetti E3BA along with an Allpowers 200w solar panel and accessories because they were the only things that were going to deliver before the storm hit. We have been stress testing it a lot, but so far it has kept our 28 cu ft refrigerator going and our devices charged with only 1 gallon of gas being used from a supplemental backup to top it up and run at night. Back to my original point, it is really nice being able to keep the E3BA plugged in to the fridge and everything else and just turn on the other backup power as needed without interruptions. But obviously it would be nice to have much more battery buffer and more solar capacity.

I've been waiting for this review. Thank you for the great job. I've been eyeing this power station and waiting for more reviews. A few questions - I'm assuming that it supports pass-thru charging? (using it to power stuff while charging with solar) - Are you going to be getting some of the expandable batteries? I'm looking for something to power my small appliances in case of a power outage (mainly fridge and freezer). I also might plug it into a transfer switch to occasionally power a few circuits to lower that bill.. just a tiny tiny bit. 🙂

Hey Dino, you'll need a bigger power station to run a 240v well pump. These 2000wh power stations (Bluetti AC200Max and Pecron E2000) only put out 120 volts so they won't be able to power that appliance. 240v power stations are getting more popular though!

Hi Jason! Love the review. I've been on the fence for a few weeks with the Pecron E2000LFP + EB3000 expansion battery (roughly $2700) or the Bluetti AC300 ($3200.) Clearly, there are major difference in price, (Pecron .54c per watt vs. Bluetti $1.04 per watt) but my biggest concern is about the expansion battery. According to pictures on the Pecron website, it shows that the EB3000 has max input of 400 watt. Surely, the expansion battery can be charged by the power station and/or solar but at 400w?! To fully charge a 3072wh battery, (let's just say best case at it's max of 400w) it would take 7.5 hours from 0-100% While that sounds good to some, if you plan on charging by gas generator, it's going to take a LOT longer to top off those expansion batteries. Am I correct in this thinking or am I missing something? Also, the Pecron 2 year vs. 4 year Bluetti warranty is a big difference IMO. It's a touch call...

Any thoughts on whether manufacturers are simply "downspec'ing the kWh rating to appear more efficient? Is there truly 1920kWh inside thing thing or is there 2048kWh in reality and written as 1920kWh to appear more efficient?

@Jasonoid

It could be either way I suppose. I'd rather have a spec more in line with what you actually get when using the power station. That's why I went away from calling these results "efficiency numbers" and now I just say how much power you get vs the advertised capacity. Hard to tell the true efficiency.

One test I'd like to see is set up a set of mc4 connectors to an automobile battery and see what it'll charge at now as far as I know there is nothing sent from solar panels telling the mppt charge controller that hey the power is coming from a panel and 12/24 volt DC is the same coming from a solar panel and a altinator so a 12 volt alternator putting out 14 volts 60 amps is 840 watts you're the first one to say it needs 24 volts input on the solar so you'd need a 24 volt DC charging system so since they should put out 28 volts at 100 amps so that's a whopping 2800 watts now if they would just give the option to skip the brick and give it at a lower price for those off the grid and those who have RVs there are ways to charge 24 volt DC systems from a 12 volt system and there are utube videos that show how to make a 12 volt gas powered charger the only difference is that you'd have to use a 24 volt alternator instead of a 12 volt and since there are also videos on utube for converting generators to propane natural gas or methane there are a lot of charging options available that don't use the brick after all as one utube channel put it why step up to 120 and back down to 12 volt he was talking about lights but the same applies here why use a 120 volt generator to power a brick to bring it back down to a lower voltage and in writing this what is the output voltage of the brick is it 24 volt DC so then it can be charged from the bricks charging port after all its a misnomer that 12 volt battery is 12 volts back when batteries first come out each cell was 2 volts and the old 32 volt systems used to have 16 big 8 x8x12 inch high glass cells but as battery making technology inproved especially when they started making starting batteries it went up so a sealed lead acid battery now is fully charged at 14. 4 volts and needs to be charged at 14.4 and yes I thought the Rving chanels were wrong after all the manufacturers of booster packs should know proper charging perameters for the batteries in their units but I tore apart my old black and decker booster pack with a 400 watt modified sine wave inverter to find what battery they used so I could either go to their website or call them to find out what they said were the proper charging perameters for their product but written right on the battery was do not discharge below 12.2 volts and float charge is 13.4 volts and full charge is 14.8 so the RV chanels were right and the reason why they were dieing at a year old was that they were being horribly abused charged only to 12 volt dead to start with and if using the inverter taken to 10.8 volts and if used for lighting down to 0 no wonder the only last a year and then won't take a charge

@Jasonoid

Жыл бұрын

You're missing one very important factor while charging. The Pecron E2000 has built in limits for the amperage/current on each of the charging ports. The small charging port on top (5521) only allows 6 amps input. So you could only ever get 76 watts @ 13volts. The MPPT dual inputs only allow 15 amps input. Most power stations rely on a high voltage / low amperage input to keep the internal heat down and the internal components cheaper.

Nice product! I only wish it would work with single 12V panels...

I'm new to this type of thing - Does the 100V restriction mean that my 200-watt Bluetti PV200 panel would not work with the Pecron? Sorry if this is a dumb question!

@Jasonoid

Жыл бұрын

Your Bluetti PV200 panel is considered a 12v panel so it will only work by connecting it to the 5521 charging port. You can pick up an adapter like this to plug it into that port and it should charge around 100 watts: amzn.to/3LTzGEr The second option would be to pickup a second PV200 panel and connect both of them in series connection for a higher voltage so you can plug them into the one of the MPPT charge controllers.

Newbie here so this may be a dumb question but I want to hook this up to a fuse block and run 2 12 v max air fans (or something similar) and about 12 puck lights in a camper conversion along with plugging in a 12 V fridge. If this only has 10amps of DC power total is it even remotely possibly? I thought about the Bluetti that had the 25amp plug but I worry about having a control panel that controls the AC and DC on/off functions. I like that this has a button, I feel like there is less room for issues - thoughts?

@Jasonoid

Жыл бұрын

I doubt you'd be able to run all those items off the DC output of the Pecron. You are correct that the Bluetti power stations allow for a higher DC load (25-30 amps). I'd recommend choosing a large Bluetti power station or going with a standalone 12v LiFePO4 battery for your power needs.

I ordered a 2000LFP about a month ago with a code from HoboTech. Issue 1; wasn't able to charge with solar anywhere near "1200 watts" as advertised, if either of the 2 MPPT charge controllers got past 400 watts, the unit stopped charging completely. Issue 2; I contacted support and they claimed it was a "software" issue, whereas I assumed x6 200watt Renogy panels would work (obv. staying under the 95V each input) they say there's no way my compatible panels will work. What??? Issue 3; Only email for communication, no phone, is a big pain but at least they paid return shipping after 2 weeks of arguing and refusing to send me a replacement! Maybe they will fix this "bug?" one day, shame this review video doesn't go in-depth on the PV charging, isn't that a key feature to dive into?
