      Mine made that noise and I ended up sending it back and it was replaced. It will make some minor noise but if it sounds like mine, yeah, I'd reach out to support and request a new one. It wasn't dangerous, voltage was normal, running at normal temps but the inverter kept making that clicking sound. You should be fine for the hurricane. Best of luck to you and yours!!

    Great video, thank you. My problem is that I cannot get my E2000 to charge up past 78%. The e3000 shows all charged. I disco'd the two units to do as you suggested, but it seems stuck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

      You might have the units cascaded incorrectly. What is the voltage showing? Really, @RamblinBobReviews has been great at helping to answer technical questions but I've found Pecron's email support to be a bit slow and cumbersome BUT they've always come through with solutions. I'd reach out to Bob to see if he has any ideas and contact Pecron and I' sure they will provide support. Best of luck to you!!

    ** UPDATE ** Pecron replaced this unit. I sent it back two additional times and after the third time, they sent a new unit. I owned the defective E2000LFP for about 15 months so they honored the warranty. I've had the new unit about a month now with no problems.

    • @BucksBe
      @BucksBe Місяць тому

      I'm sure you've figured this out by now but you'd want to check the voltage of the battery. When it dips below 23% and it's still showing 40% on the display screen, that means you might have a problem. Mine was the same and I ended up sending it back 3 times for repair but it never worked. Pecron recently sent me a new replacement which has been working great over the past month. Seems like both of our units have the same symptoms. Might be a bigger problem but make sure your unit is celebrated properly. I've found Pecron's email support to be sufficient and they ended up making good on the defective unit.

    Thank you for the shout out BucksBe :) We have really learned a lot with this model, and all the pecron models :) note: Yes, you have to wait until all the batteries and the main unit reach 100% to be able to reset that power meter :) (sometimes it takes an hour or two depending on the power meter reading to correct itself) note: if you ever charge through the batteries, you have to repeat this process every time to reset that power meter. E1500lfp has fixed this problem and checks the power meter non stop through out the day :) WARNING !!!!!......YOU CAN ONLY CONNECT 2 X EB3000 BATTERIES TO THE E2000LFP, NOT 3 AS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO (4:45 timestamp) (If you connect more than 2 batteries to this system, you will risk starting a fire due to the resistance of the batteries) !!!!! E2000LFP + EB3000 + EB3000 is a MAX system for this model :) P.P.S. And we do not pay ANY attention to the lights on the batteries anymore (unless it is flashing red very fast meaning over voltage) The lights on this system are just useless most of the times it seems, they feed power to the main even if the lights are off ;) (we have mentioned this many times in our videos) Like I said, Pecron fixed this problem with the lights on the e1500lfp :)

    I charged my EB3000 to 100%, then the E2000LFP to 100%, unplugged the charger and connected the two batteries using the cascade cable. I turned on the E2000LFP, and it was reading 63% charged (even though I knew both batteries were charged to 100%, so I assumed that the display unit wasn't reading correctly. I adjusted the 004 setting back to 1920w and let it sit for an hour, then came back and adjusted the 004 setting back to 4992w, and the display was still reading 62%, which led to my frustration. With the following settings, fully charged E2000LFP fully charged EB3000 cascade cable plugged into E2 & E3 batteries 004 setting set to 4992 plugged A/C Charger into E2000LFP Even though both batteries were full, the slow trickle charge increased the battery percentage shown on the display unit. After about 45 minutes, it reached 100%, and the batteries were successfully cascaded with the green light showing on the EB3000. I don't think this section is in the manual, (but it should be)

But the other 9 months the 5k is really enough. I love this Pecron, so nice paired with a little 2k 1 gallon quiet generator.

It also hit home when you talked about the extension cords and how things are different when you actually implement your plan, I've experienced similar stuff when having to implement part of my plan and realizing I wanted to put something somewhere else, or run this longer than I planned due to the time of year (like a window unit).

    For a quick fix concerning the hand truck "lip", cut a small piece of plywood and place that first on the bottom lip.

Use the generator during the day for house loads and to charge the Pecron, then, just use the Pecron for overnight power.

I can connect two 1408Wh power stations together using a CP3500 cable, charge each at the same time and use the AC outlet on one power station while power is coming from both power stations.
