Jason, I have been watching you for a while now and I just wanted to tell you that you’re very very good. You do an excellent job, explaining whatever the product is that you are demonstrating. Keep up the good work young man. You are appreciated.

I have to say that I LOVE the 30A DC port which would actually allow you to hook up a much more efficient low wattage AC inverter for really small load so you don't have to fire up the big (somewhat wasteful) built in AC inverter.

Nice job Jason! Great review and impressive upgrade. Finally someone listened and came out with the 90 degree cables 🎉

Pecron really stepped up their game on this one. The expansion battery is awesome in that it can be used separately, too bad the main unit doesn't have the same capacity though. I love the 90° cables. It's about time somebody finally listened to the public. As always comma another fantastic video Jason

I'm a "retired" EE, so i really appreciate your thoroughness. I've built & installed several multi KW arrays on my roof and property because I found that the topology of my roof only permitted single 6KW & 3KW arrays, and I then tied them together with some other panels, often using solar generators when they were cheap. I have several engineer friends with battery design expertise, so i'm well covered there as well. Really glad to see someone like you enter the review space because i have lotsa neighbors & friends who call on me for advice & you look like a good resource for those folks! Keep up the good work! Mike

I have 3 Pecron products and this one is now gonna be my 4th. Love it !!!!!!

Wow I’m liking this very much for my camping van Thank You Jason.

Thanks Jason for including the clicking test on the solar panels. 👍

Your the BOSS, thanks for your THOROUGH review of this very impressive product. I ALWAYS TRUST your reviews.

The jump in AC efficiency with the optional batery was surprising and welcome. Not seen anyone else record this, good job.

I recently bought 600LFP. One year warranty with purchase, two year with registration. Three year if you complete a feedback survey at registration. I received a replacement 120v AC charger in less than a week from notifying them. Great thorough and organized reviews!

Ive been waiting for this! I even reached out to them and pleaded for them to let the reviewers get their hands on it before they release it. 😂

Thanks so much for this review. I have been a part-time van dweller since I built out a Ram Promaster in 2018 and have had several different battery options, starting with an AGM-battery Goal Zero, then a crowd-sourced Bluetti (OK, but disappointing in several areas), and finally a Pecron E3000. I didn't know much about the Pecron brand, but it seemed to offer excellent bang for the buck, so I took a chance. It has been excellent and allowed me to go almost 100% electric in the van. Naturally, I use it for the usual stuff: vent fan, Wabasto, lights, and fridge. However, I do most of my cooking using electricity now. The Pecron powers a small microwave, a small electric pressure cooker, an induction burner, and a small capsule-type coffee maker. Naturally, I'm not running all these things simultaneously, and I'm very aware of my power usage. For instance, I may make a couple cups of coffee (about 6-7 minutes) and use the induction burner to fry some eggs (another 5-6 minutes). One surprising and economical find was my 3-quart electric pressure cooker. It uses full power to reach pressure (around 10 minutes) but very little power to maintain pressure as it cycles on and off during that cooking phase. I can usually recharge the system with the 400 watts of solar that I have on the roof, but I can also run my van's power to an inverter that powers the E3000 power brick and charge that way when I'm driving. The Pecron has turned out to be an excellent choice and is well-built. My unit is simple (not many bells and whistles), but it does the job. I would love to upgrade to the E1500 plus the expansion battery, but I'm now retired with other responsibilities. Perhaps, someday. Here is a wishful thought to Pecron. Do you want someone to do a real-world test in a van using the E1500 and the accessory battery? I would be happy to comply :). Ahh, yes, wishful thinking. But for now, I'm very happy with my E3000.

Thanks for showing this using some common appliances.

Great review as always. Thank you

Great in depth review as alway!

If I may say so, that was a very comprehensive review. Love the UPS feature. Also, this power pack would be awesome in a D.I.Y. truck camper build.

Super in-depth video, such great data. Impressive DC output on the system and extra battery, Pecron has really been upping their game. The new grading system and new overlays are really good! I wonder if you should award extra credit for things like 30A DC output or expansion.

Great test Jason!! The new Pecron is a great price at the $899. They are upping their game. Am radio test…💪🏼

Great review. Nice nit. Like the new scoring system. Thanks.

The E600lfp has served me well. It's my favorite small power station. The E1500 looks even more promising.

Fantastic review, it was very concise and detailed. Great job! Love my 600LFP from Pecron and will be picking this up in the very near future. I too found it strange that the 24V Converter worked on the aviation port for charging given it should have needed 32+V, I have to run a 48V on my 600. Have a good one and keep those reviews coming!

Very nice; you've created another review that invites temptation.

Phenomenal detailed presentation and succinct. I love this new Pecron . Finally they listened to the consumers and are the first to come out with the 90º cables for the expansion batteries and to boot to make the expansion batteries usable as well. When it comes to power banks I basically use them for recreational and emergency purposes and wished that they would offer more 12V plugs since it is the most efficient and if it is an emergency you don't want to use power hungry appliances. I love the ratio of inverter to battery capacity where if necessary it will power most things and still maintain its portability. I am glad they got rid of the charging brick. I do wish it had an extra or two cigarette plugs and I still feel that the 32V to 95V voc is limited. Jason, again great great job!

I watched this video a while back. I enjoyed it and ordered one. Mine is to be delivered Monday the thirteenth of November. Your video with the 600,2000,ant the 1500 was cool because I will now have all three

Excellent presentation. Thanks for sharing. Love the 12v output options and the high amp loads. Jackery and Bluetti are going to lose truck/van/boat/car business to this unit since they have practically abandoned 12v output options in their newest units. The Pecron E1500 Pro also has some very nice 12v output options. For use in my truck/car/boat where I need strong 12v options - I would pick either of these Pecron units over the newer Jackery/Bluetti units.

Purchased using your discount, thanks!

Great review!!

Thanks for the new grading system 2.0. For this unit, I think Pecron hit the gold. With a 30a 12V, wireless charger, good UPS, app, expendable (with connectors on this extra battery), a 90 degres connector for the extra batteries, a bunch of cables, Ac cable without brick and all connectors in front of the unit. they start to play in major ligue.

Thank you for the fantastic review! The EP3000 has some amazing features, including a solar input of 400w, priced at 1238€ for 3kW. That’s truly remarkable in the solar generators/power stations market! I've pre-ordered one to try out as a single battery, using your code, for a total of 1177€. Might buy next the E1500LFP bundled with another EP3000 for +7kW total

Thanks Jason 😎

Thanks, Jason, I was doing a bit of research on charging a lifepo4 battery using the xt60 port; in my case, mine is 25 amps, not 30 amps, but at least I know it can work. Really appreciate the content, very helpful! Can always get a charger if it doesn't charge it enough.

Great info! I really like how you can use the expansion battery. I have the Ecoflow Delta 2 with extra battery, and that option is not available.

I just got one so far so good

Looks like some great upgrades! I would really like to see them get away from those aviation plugs, and go to something more standard, like xt60 or anderson inputs. I've been watching you for several months and built my own portable unit in a toolbox. 100ah lifepo4, 2000 watt inverter, 40 amp charge controller, 2 fans, fuse block, lights, charger, and four 100 watt panels. You gave me the confidence to it, and I thank you!👍

Great review. PECRON stepping up their game. I do wish the expansion batteries had AC , at least 1.

Great review as usual sir! This is definitely on my short list! Shame about the bit of noise on the inverter but I guess you can't have everything!

Great video ! nice unit !

Love that old Bestek 300watt inverter... I've had one for 7-8 years and it's still going strong. :-) Nice specs on that Pecron, and I was worried about the gap between 100 watt port and the other starting at 32volts, leaving a "no man's land" for many 200-300 watt panels (Like my Bluetti PV200) But seeing that 32volt port charging at 24volts makes things better as I'd definitely make that with 2 portable panels!

I just found your channel today enjoyed how you hooked up the batteries to the power stations. I have a original my ecoflow delta would love to see a video how to hook up extra battery to itThanks.

Thanks, Jason. Your reviews are most helpful. Does the faster AC charging have any adverse effects on the battery or number of charging cycles?

Thanks 4 the gr8 review. I bought the Pecron E1500LFP based on your review. I think you might have to give the rating a bump up since they are offering 5 years when you register online.❤

I'm not sure what set power fridge you have , but I set mine to 5 C and left it on my Jackary 550 for 12 hours .... it went from 100 to 98 .. I just got my set power FC20 so I'm assuming it was running on eco mode because it was defiinitely working very well ... Prior to it I had a thermo electric pulling 70 watts ...Thermo electric fans blew and I'm grateful cuz I LOVE MY SET POWER

Thanks For the Discount code. I buy one. For the Vanlife, I think it's one of the best one. I already have Delta 2 Max but this EcoFlow mist a huge feature in the 12V 30A. I will replace this unit by the Pecron E1500LFP. It's my favorite one for my use. She have more capacity than Bluetti AC1800 and Solix C1000, She have contectivity than the Pecron E2000LFP didn't have, she have the 30A missing on EcoFlow and she have better charging option than Bluetti AC200MAX.

Any recommendations on some rigid panels that I could mount on my RV or rooftop tent for the E1500 LFP? Don’t wanna use flexible or portable folding ones. Your videos have helped me so much! Thanks!

AWESOME review!!!! Not only did I give you a thumbs up but I also asked for notifications for any new videos. I'm not an expert on power stations but I've watched a ton of these power station YT review videos lately and as a reviewer you are at the top of the list. Super thorough review and I can't think of anything you could do to improve your reviews. So keep up the GREAT work....much appreciated!!! Regarding the Pecron E1500LFP, it looks like an excellent product that checks all of the boxes. The only thing that I'd like to see is more AC output ports (only 3?). I'd like to see a minimum of 4 AC ports and 5/6 would be more ideal...even if they had to make the unit a bit larger to accommodate them. Is there any reason why or any limitations regarding using an power extension cord with this unit to expand the number of AC ports? If not then this will likely be my solution to the limited number of ports. Do you happen to know if the E1500LFP in combo with the EP3000 would qualify for the Federal Tax "rebate" of 30%? Or do you know of any resources (other than an accountant) that could clarify on that issues ?

Did you try giving 12V on the aviation input where you put in 24V. Does that make it go faster than 100W?

Awesome review Jason! With the price comparison and expandability of power stations it almost makes more sense to use this for a full time van conversion power source. I have a couple of questions in regards to this. 1) In terms of using it as a power source in a van what are your thoughts when it comes to durability due to vibration of the vehicle or do they do any testing, certification for this kind of environment. 2) One thing that's kept me from using a power station vs an individual component build station is the lack of DC-DC charging. Noticed that in your video the Pecron perform as one of the slowest charging from the vCctron DC-DC. converter Saw your workout around video using the Victron DC-DC charger and I'm wondering how this Pecron stacks up or if you could add the results of that test to your overall testing spreadsheet. 3) Follow up to the question above are you able to keep the DC-DC charger and Solar panels connected and charging at the SAME time at high capacity using a Victron Energy Orion 12/24-Volt 20 amp DC-DC Converter or Orion TR DC-DC 12-12- 30AM and somehow plug in a DC-DC charger along with 4x100 Watt panels without maxing out the 700 watt limit so it theoretically has the ability to charge up to 700 Watts using 400 from the panels and 300 from the DC to DC charger acting as a 700 watts solar panels but also having the benefit of charging form the vehicle when sun conditions are not ideal. 4) Is 30A on the DC to DC outlet enough to connect to a 12 volt DC blue sea distro fuse box to run the following: Air max fan, LED lighting 2-3 USB charging outlets 12 volt wall mounted fan 12 volt wall mounted LED RV reading light 12 volt water pump or I'm I better off spreading out each component using the 12 volt cigarette lighter port for set power fridge, some long USB cables for the tech device outlets and barrell plug for the LED lights and Air max fan. Thank you!

Great vids. Exciting stuff coming from pecron !!! One question? Do I need a dc to dc charger for the ep3000 to charge from my vans alternator, to get around 400w? Or is the installed charger fine for that purpose. Thanks

Great job, enjoyed the video! When expansion battery is connected, and solar is connected to ONLY the power station.....does the battery and power station both recharge together?

I loved your video. I wish I could afford one of those. Have a blessed day.

Great review! I wonder, what the parasitic drain would have been, comparing your DC to AC inverter vs the internal inverter drain. Having that lower watt AC inverter opens up options. I have that same one! :)

Thank you ..I purchased for 4 units after seeing your video.i noticed you use in your test a small inverter plug in I to to 12 volt xt60 ...did you do that conversion by yourself ...I ask because I want a run a small ac fridge and fell it's to much energy lost true the big inverter ...do they make cigarette plug into xt60..or it need to be home made ...thx

Thank you Jason for all your videos. Excellent rundown. I'm trying to figure out what's going on at 24:21 though. The nearest panel is not connected. I'm guessing you shot that piece as you were tearing down the setup?

Would the 30 amp output be enough to hook up to the RV shore power plug and charge and use as an RV battery?

I like this unit. I really like that the extra battery plug actually has the 90 degree turn in it. I do not know of any others that have done that yet. I wish it had 2 of the 32 to 95 volt solar inputs but I guess it is fine that it only has one. I need to get me one of those anderson to aviation plug so I can see what voltage the high voltage inputs actually go down to on my e2000lfp. I think rambling bob said his turns on around 12 volts on the 32 to 95 volt input on the e2000lfp. I would have to ask him or try to find that video again to be sure of that.

If one power station is too small, and another is just too big, could it be this one is perfect? I think a lot of buyers will like the versatility and expandability of this particular product, especially at this price point. :)

Great video, just received mine. I have a folding 300w panel for camping, 18v. Is it ok to wire this up to the aviation port even though the volts are below 32? Seems like I am over the watts on the 100w port and under the volts on the aviation port.

Can you charge the expansion battery along with the connected the power station with just the ac cable? More convenient than charging separately. The versatility is that is able to charge independently

Great review as always Jasonoid :) P.S. We really enjoyed all of our pecron products that we have over the last 1 year :) 1 x e2000lfp (full 8kw system) 2 x eb3000 batteries 1 x e600lfp 2 x pv300 solar panels 1 x pv100 solar panel P.S. We are really hoping to be able to review this power station and the e3600lfp power station from pecron :)

About the only thing Pecron lacks is a longer warranty. It's great to see these companies one upping each other, because ultimately the consumer wins:) I like the new grading 2.0, very nice! The only thing missing is being able to combine two units for split phase operation. If they added that, it would kill EcoFlow and Bluetti. Great review as always! You should take a look at the Eco Worthy dual axis solar tracker. A very affordable way to get 30% or more out of your solar panels:)

I love your channel and expertise sir. I preordered the E1500LFP immediately after watching this video. Used your promo code, thanks for that discount! I see I can add on the EP3000 additional battery for $1300. In the video you used a 48v battery to charge. My question is, why wouldn't I just buy a 48v 50Ah/2560Wh LiFePO4 online for about $600 and use the aviation style connector? I could buy 2 (+5000Wh!) for less than the price of one Pecron battery. Is there an advantage to the Pecron besides it's cool rugged case? These will be stationary in one room in the house. Dan in AZ

I bought one yesterday :)

wondering if the e600lfp external charging brick will work on the solar input of this 1500 for slower charging. That charger works on the 2000lfp model just fine. Unless I missed it I couldn't find anywhere on your video if you can control the charging input on the app for this 1500 model.

I've been a Pecron fan for a while as I do have several of their products. You can get a 3 year warranty by responding to the service email you get after registration. This would bring their grade up to a "9" on your new scale. (B+) New feature additions are great but their solar 7 pin inputs and voltage requirements drive me nuts.

The EP3000 expansion battery is, for now, hard to come by. Is there any way to boost the earlier model EB3000 battery and fit it to make it an expansion battery for this E1500 lFP maybe?

hi,great vid! Can I charge a DC cigar input for a portable fridge and also plug my portable AC into the 12Volt AC input simultaniously? Or do I need to get a smaller unit as well for the fridge? thanks!

Hopefully they'll send you the new 3600LFP to test.

Hi Jason Great review ! I was wondering since this power station has built-in MPPT controllers, would it be safe to use 400 watt solar panels(pecron 2-200 watt) while charging a 12 volt marine battery ? Will this unit prevent over charging ? Thanks in advance and thank you for your videos

Great review as always, I'm in the market for a solar generator. What are your top three solar generator you recommend? Budget of $2000 Max?

Finally higher DC output from a small power station!

Does this generator support AC passthrough without running the inverter?

Great review Jason! Would you be able to test if the E1500LFP can power a full size gas dryer? I've found one shortfall of Pecron's inverter design is that while it has a high rated surge power, it's much shorter surge than competitors. My E2000LFP can't start up my dryer, but my much smaller CTECHi 1200Wh power station has no problem starting it up. Looks like the bidirectional inverter with UPS loses some efficiency compared to their previous models which consistently got over 90% efficiency at 0.2C discharge rate, so a trade-off for the extra features. Still great efficiency for such a large inverter compared to competitors.

Very impressive, thanks Jason. The short warranty is still mystifying me. Can there be any other reason besides inferior reliability? Maybe there's too much marketing/gimmicky bs surrounding long warranties and they just don't want to invest in that side of things? If it does come down to reliability then I guess they'll need to up their game further still before the brand can hit new heights. Looks like they're on their way though.

Great video Jason! Hope you can help answer this deal breaker question: Does Pecron E1500LFP or Bluetti AC180 have equivalent feature described below vs EcoFlow App>Energy Management>Backup Reserve and Charge Limit, or Labs Features>Automation? Please make a new video comparing these Apps and features 🙏 I’m new to solar, your videos have helped me immensely🍻. I have been on the fence about Pecron due to lack of firmware upgrade and App until E1500LFP. Looking to upgrade capacity for my Solar priority UPS backup setup for my Fishtanks gears from 700wh to over 1kwh. Currently using River2Pro with AC plugged into wall to keep unit charged up to 70% battery for outage emergency (using Backup Reserve feature), while 100-150w solar input is used to power output and top off 70-90% (using Charge Limit feature). Anytime there’s not enough solar, AC pass through kicks in while keeping battery at 70%. This is all possible with River2Pro after latest App and firmware update. Thanks in advance and for all your amazingly informative videos.

Have you tried to charge the unit using a truck bed 400W AC plug available on newer model trucks

I just bought the E1500LFP. My only dislike is needing 32v minimum to use the higher watt DC input. It would be nice to be able to use 24v (nominally 2×100 watt panels). At least one review I've seen says you can push 24v, but I haven't seen that. All in all, though, it's a very good value.

Very interested.nice video ..could you over panel in series...as long you stay under 95 volt...wanted to over panel to maximize the solar input...do I need to worry about amp ? The user manual does not seem to go into maximum solar amp ...only open voltage ..any purpose be appreciated...thx

I’m waiting on your review on the Oupes Mega 2 before I choose between it and the Pecron E1500. The high amperage DC output is a big selling point for me in a power station…

Pecron's expansion batteries are the best with up to 400 watts charging via solar and 30A 12V outs Always pricing better than the only comparable Bluettis

I guess the lfp600 has a different mppt board, I asked pecron and they said connecting a battery to the solar/HV input would fry it. I settled on a dc to dc boost. How locked down is the battery expansion system? Any chances of adding a homemade 48 volt battery? Still 700 in isn’t bad and makes for a quick expansion to an off grid system.

Is it possible to charge via AC at a slower rate (like ecoflow can limit to 400W)

Thanks for the video, I purchased one of these. Is it normal for them to make a noise? Cracking sounds when I put my ear to the unit. I also plugged in a standard fridge and it sounds like a faint chirping noise or dripping water sound? Thanks

Thanks for the great review. Do you think it with auto start charging via solar in the morning if it were to run down to 0% overnight?

Does adding an additional battery, mean that the power bank will take the same amount of time to charge or take longer with an additional battery hooked up? This would be by using the 600 watt capacity solar panels during an extended outage?? Can (main unit & battery(s) fully be recharged in 1 day ?😢

Thanks for the review! I am going to buy the E1500LFP, not sure if you can offer your opinion in the AC charging, my van has a 120V 1000W inverter, do you think it's big enough as AC charging source? I'm really appreciate!

Have an ac180 in my shopping cart. This seems like the better buy for only 100 bucks more.

Jason can you recommend rigid solar panel that will max out Delta Pro 150v, 15amp. 1600 watts? I would prefer the least number of panels if possible to overpanel to truly get 1600 watts input. Of course if you have an affiliate link to help the channel that would be great. Amazon prime preferred. Thank you!

@Jasonoid I dont know if you still have this Pecron power station. I have a very specific usecase and was wondering if you could confirm. Will this unit charge with 2 DC sources conncted simultaneously. 12V from the vehicle connected to the 5521 barrel port at 100W and a 200W solar panel connected to the aviation style DC port. I am trying to maximize the DC power input into the unit..so that it charges from both the vehicle and solar when I am driving and solar only when I am parked

Can unit solar run in Series & Parallel for 93volts (VOC) 76volts (normal) @ up to 17.2amps (8.6amp x2)* * I assume unit reduces amps to 15amp max input. Thanks for your time.

Hi, Jason, Pecron in they facebook was just extend the warranty fot the e1500lfp to 5 years. 😁😀

The best product review ever. Pecron has surely stepped up their game adding features people are looking for in a power station. I was considering the new BougeRV Rover 2000 but now I have to put this Pecron 1500 in the mix. I wonder if you would consider making all the connectors available on your channel or at least link a place where we can buy them. I am thinking specifically about the 2121 or 2125 connoectors for the 30 amp DC outputs. I will also do some homework and check the website as well. As always, your hard work is appreciated.

Hi Jason, I am looking for a smaller station to power a 12 volt cooler. I am thinking this Pecron is too big for SUV camping. How does the Pecron E600LFP compare to the Ecoflow Pro 2? The Ecoflow Pro 2 is now $399 from Costco, so it seems like a great deal for the Ecoflow. I see the Pecron E600 is now $299 on the website. Trying to decide which is better, or is it worth the money for the larger Pecron E1500.

Any idea when these will actually ship? I get a little nervous when I see "Pre Order" and there's nothing on the site about when the orders will actually go out...

e600, e1500, e2000 wow, hard to remember that... said facetiously. Nice video content though. Nice product and great price! Also LFP battery can last 10+ years, yes?

Hi Jason, little question, I would want to connect a AC fridge permanently to a Pecron E1500LFP. I would connect 2, 300 watt panels to it in series. the AC fridge uses roughly between 300 and 550 wh a day. If I understand correctly, I would need to also take into account the 2,3% AC idle usage a day and add this to the consomption of the fridge right? That would mean roughly between 1344 to 1599 wh per day (idle usage + fridge), which on a sunny day would work with the panels probably but it the winter it wouldn't. So next to the solar input I would also need to use the AC input at all times. Is it possible to use solar input and AC input at the same time, and connect a fridge to it (24/7)? thanks for you help! I'm still new at this:)

I want to use a power station to power some computers, monitors etc and have them hooked up 24/7 with the power station having solar & ac power connected at the same time, all the time. This is being done strictly to help lower my electric bill. Assuming the unit has solar charging priority, can you get this unit or any unit to automatically have AC power kick in at say 20% battery power? The goal here is use as much solar power as possible but use AC power to insure the unit never has a full battery drain and shut off.

What is the max amp on your 24v boost converter? 19:19

😳Wow, Pecron really seems to be responsive to customer demands. But, really, how hard would it be to offer a 3 year warrantee?

can you use a 12v 100 ah battery to charge this? to help make it last longer until i can afford to buy a extra battery i know it will only add around 100 watts but over time that might help over night
