pecron Portable Power Station E600LFP 614Wh Solar Generator Power Station with 3X1200W AC Outlets 100W USB-C PD Output LiFePO4 Battery Backup for Outdoor Camping Emergency

First of all this thing works very well or so I thought. It does weigh 20 lbs which is what was expected. The advert states that it comes with an Anderson power pole connector but further down it leaves it out on the 'what is in the box' statement (that I didn't catch). As a Ham I use Anderson connectors and was disappointed. You Tube reviews show the connector but I guess that changed. Tested on my CPAP, it used 15% of the battery using the DC adaptor (cigar lighter plug) for 1 night without heat or humidity which I don't use anyway so it should work well for car camping trips. I did charge the battery on one Solar panel 100 watts.I tried to use the AC power to charge my laptop while using the DC to power my Ham radio. The inverter created so much RFI (radio frequency interference) that I could not use the AC power for anything while trying to use the radio. I will contact Pecron to see if that is normal? If so, I will have to return it.UPDATE: 2-29-24Pecron did contact me and tell me that the RFI was to be expected. While being very satisfied with the product in every other aspect, I decided to keep it. The 120 volt power is nice but that's not what I bought the power bank for. It provides ample power for our road trip camping needs, It's easy to charge in the truck while in route to our next location and provides our power and charging needs. The unit is very well made and should provide years of service. Note is does run my low power and QRP ham radio gear quite well on the 12v cigar plug as long as the power requirements are 10 amps max.I find the unit suited for the price range, and changed my review from 2 to 4 stars.

This Power supply is very strong right out of the box. I did charge it and it retains its charge very well. This is a mid size unit and can be hooked to solar for reasonable charge times. I am very happy with the quality and it is perfect for my minivan camper. I would recommend it as a good match for the more expensive power supplies.

I brought this charger and a wen inverter generator. Not sure if they would be right for what I wanted. They both have already paid for themselves in a couple of weeks. The price of gas as it is. Run the generator for a couple of hours in the day charge the bank it it works for the night. If you like camping or the outdoors it works great. Not as heavy as I thought it would be, less than that of a battery for your car. Easy to handle. Charges quick and easy. Doesn't make any noises.Runs longer than I thought it would.I haven't charged it with my solar panels yet, but a 11/2 hours with the generator.

I bought this to be the backup for my cpap machine on Jan 9th 2024, I used it once and it worked great. Then I charged it to about 80% and stored it until our next power outage. That happend last week and when I went to use it, it was dead. Now it will not take a charge, it will not turn on, it is a complete boat anchor.This product is absolute trash, do not buy.

Update 3/14/2024 (Original Review Below Lines)I reached out to Pecron about the dead charging brick and they did reply in about a day and asked me to film a video of me plugging it in showing that it was in fact dead. Once they received the video clearly showing the charging brick wasn't working, they prepared a replacement for me. It took about a week but it arrived and it works. Slightly different than the first brick, hopefully this one is built to last.Overall the unit is working as expected, I've been testing it with a 12v dual zone fridge plugged in and the Pecron unit on a smart outlet that only gives it power for 30 minutes a day. This is a test of both the Pecron battery and the fridge. Things are all working as expected, but I do have one gripe that is keeping me from giving this five stars.One of the main, if not the main selling point of this unit for me is the 400w input. I have a 400w inverter in my truck so this seemed perfect, because if something needs more than 400w, the inverter shuts off. I didn't want something like a Jackery with only ~100w input, that's not enough, and I can't go over 400w in my truck, this was basically the perfect unit for me for that reason. Here is the gripe, the AC charging brick they send you is only 300w, and the unit never displays more than 275w input. To get 400w input, it has to be solar.So Pecron, two big improvements you can make to make this a five star product:1. Allow for 400w AC input2. Ditch the brick and make it a simple cable from the wall to the unit. The brick is a bit of a pain to use, especially if I'm taking this on the road in my truck for camping and road trips.I'm not sure there is a better unit at this price point, assuming these are high quality Lifepo4 cells and everything lasts. Happy to have it, I just wish the 400w input as advertised was what you actually get in the box, I didn't realize they only give you a 300w charger.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Initial Review:I have been considering this unit for several months, as it checks all the boxes that I was looking for in a portable power station, particularly the high AC charging speeds for a unit this size. It's basically perfect for what I need.However after receiving it and charging it up to 100%, I charged a few things off of the Pecron unit and all worked fine. I went to charge it up again from 70% and the charging brick is dead. It only worked for 24 hours.I have requested a replacement charger from Pecron. If they come through and I can have a working unit again, I will update this review.If they do not come through and get me working again, I will also update with that information.For now, I am not happy as I intend to only use this with AC charging and for now I have a unit with 80% battery and no way to charge it (I don't have solar or access to a car's DC port at the moment).TBD, but I will revise this review depending on how quickly, if at all, I can get this thing workable again.Very sad that I've been looking at this one for so long and something failed within the first day.

I am experienced with power stations and solar in general, so for me to say this thing has overachieved is a great compliment. The ease of use from the front controls is evident from the beginning. The power being delivered is unmatched for any power station of this size. Currently I have been running a 28 cu ft french door refrigerator for 3 weeks with just a single 200W solar panel to charge it and the charge has never went below 65%.

I bought this because of the price point and that it has pass through charging.I lived in a very remote area where the only electricity was a generator at night. When I landed a remote job I bought this to power my router and computer.It lasts a whole day no issues.I’ve since moved to a more remote area but I have solar power so I gifted this to my parents who live in a very remote area with electricity.I am purchasing a second one to have myself because I like back up power sources.
