I have this unit that is just a bit smaller and use it fairly often around the property over last year or so. GREAT unit and could not be happier with it. I became a big fan of Pecron.
Great news from pecron about this model :) P.S. Pecron has just extended the warranty of the e1500lfp (even if you already bought it) to 5 YEARS !!!!! P.P.S. Make sure that you get over to the website and register your system today and extend your warranty from 2 years to 5 years !!!!! P.P.P.S. :)
I love mine. I have been running my own tests at home with my appliances. Definitely worth the money as a add on to a small generator. No more noisy generator at night and you save alot of gas. 2hrs to charge this with gas alone.
@Hammondguy88 I have been running my fridge off the pecron which lasts up to 10hrs till its out of juice. The small generator last about 9hrs till empty on a full tank of gas so thats four 2hr charges to the pecron to get 40hrs of run time on 1 gallon of gas. Not including the 400watts of solar panels I have here. So yea this things is DOPE AF for an add on to a small gas generator to extend that gallon of gas in a low light situatuon or stormy days.
Great review really appreciate you going into so much detail. I now have this unit with the EP3000 and so far it's worked very good for me. HOBOTECH AC capacity was 84% which was average for the industry. It doesn't appear that AC capacity is a strong suit of this unit but as you mentioned for the price it's a really good product.
Strange your tests show the AC output in the 80's. Many of the other reviews on this unit were raving about how high it was in the 90's, even better than the DC output. One thing of note that I have seen mentioned is that if you leave the AC power on without even drawing anything the inverter does use a fair amount of power. Worth noting and could skew efficiency numbers. I ordered one that is arriving tomorrow and it will be interesting to see what kind of results I get.
AC capacity came in lower than I expected it would. DC was absolutely the best I have tested. Usually, the DC is lower than AC, so it is strange. Please share your results if you get the time. Much appreciated 🙏
Excellent video, you made easy to understand, answered my questions on buying this unit. I was considering e 2000 but i think i will be purchasing the 1500. I did not like the change to e 2000 with the 30 amp plug and losing two plugs, instead of 6 now it has only 4!
I have 3 of their e2000's. This unit has a high capacity inverter for the battery size tag that with the extra bells and whistles your capacity wont be as good. I prefer the e2000 but I am more interested in higher solar charging and battery capacity. Not interested in apps at all. The e1500 also has a 5 yr. warranty as well. I have dealt with their customer service via email and was very satisfied. Solar stations are mostly made in China so great customer service is huge and they will make things right for you. Great video really enjoyed it and subscribed!
I have this same power station on the way. Wondering if you could do a video on adding a non proprietory lipo battery to extend the capacity. Also what size charger to recharge the non proprietory battery. New to your channel and love your information.
Is it possible if you could try to charge it via solar with 800w panel? Some say it just limits to 700w but I want a confirmation. Also you can hook up another 100w in connection (+700w) to achieve 800w max solar charging.
First time watching your channel. Great video on the pecron. I'm wondering if it would still run your dc compressor on a load inflating a tire. I'm sure if you made an adapter with the xt60 connector and a 12V cigarette plug or two it definitely would run the dc compressor under load. Would be interesting to know if you could power up to 12V fridge/freezer using a splitter. Thanks for the video.
Is the unit too loud when charging at a wall outlet? Is there a way to adjust the watts input when charging it from a wall outlet? 1400 watts seem too aggressive to the batteries.
Hello: Pecron sells a cigarette adapter with alligator clip cable!! What is this cable for? I thought to maybe jump start a car, but they said no, you can't use PowerStations to jump start vehicles! So what is the cable used for. It's not for charging the Pecron units! There is no input for cigarette 12v input for that>> Thanks
Any thoughts or ideas for adapting a 90 degree elbow on the 700 Watt solar charging input cable (GX16-5)? Seems like a flimsy connection that sticks straight out & not secure. This is even more of a concern if one is considering using the DC/DC (higher wattage) converter for charging while driving. Also seems like they are running a large amount of current through that GX16-5 plug?
I didn’t realize this app couldn’t be used in the field while camping. It would be nice to be able to put the power station somewhere out of the way and operate it through the app - so there is no way to do that?

Great review. Thank you 🙂
Are you charging he Pecron with a conventional gas generator, or does it require an invertor generator?
Thanks for a great review - I have been considering a Pecron and your review may be what makes me go for it!

It's not really loud when charging.
Good sir, do you still need a solar charge controller or direct from the solar panel connected only via the included adapter ?
This is a all in one system. Thanks for watching and commenting

So what is the cable used for. It's not for charging the Pecron units! There is no input for cigarette 12v input for that>> Thanks
I never use those cables. Did Pecron customer service clarify exactly what the cord you are talking about, is?
They got back to me again and said the cable is just to top off a 12volt battery but remove before trying to start!!@@JustinsProject

@@JustinsProject is that an automatically generated reply? ...any thoughts on a GX16 elbow?
Can I add 2 E3000 24 Volt . I dont have the 48V
Not sure about that

Can you Accidentally switch cables positive and negative and will it still charge.?
On the solar input?
How I connect to the app? Is not letting me connect to the app
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Pecron has a video on their website and also on their UA-cam channel for that.
It DOES have Bluetooth. It is how I have connected to it since it was released last year.
That is good to know. I did not see the BT symbol or the option in my bluetooth devices when I searched for it. Thanks for the heads up.
Could you charge it with a 24v battery… I know the minimum says 32v but another channel did with 24v to 260w
I would only go with the Pecron recommendations for longevity. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
How the hell did you connect to the unit? I followed the instructions but the app is useless.
Hopefully you got it figured out. Sorry, I am running behind on my response times.
@@JustinsProject Tried three different phones, nothing works. Thanks for replying nonetheless.
You must not have read the manual. You first connect to WiFi then it will connect with BT if you’re not connected to WiFi. I’ve done it many times.
