Great presentation, thanks!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I love the sound of the rooster singing along with Elvis.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Gotta love Elvis.
Do you know if it works with Cpaps like DreamStation GO and Fisher & Paykel?
@@MrMnegreiros it works with just about any cpap. You just need the proper dc cables. It comes with some brands cables but not all. I hope that helps.
How do I make 4. 300 amp batteries work
Can this box pass through charge your battery? For example one anderson connector as input from a charger (ac or solar) and the other Anderson connector as output to the battery?
@@jagmdphd2 they way it’s setup it looks to be designed to be able to use it as you suggest, but I have not tried to use it that way. I just hooked it up as an output from the battery.
Can you see the battery on the app once it's been connected to the station?
@@alexshevchenko7568 the extra battery does show up on the app on the input screen and just shows battery percentage.
Question does anyone know if it has outlets that you can plug things into🤔.
It does have 1 usb a port to charge a phone or tablet.
@@PreppinontheCreek12 Thank U For your response
Wonderful!!
Very informative and quality video thank you!
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Hi, Can its charge during Driving?
No, you don’t want to charge while driving. You’re alternator on the vehicle will be charging the battery
Will this fit a small form factor 200AH battery?
The internal dimensions are L 13.00” W 6.89” H 14.05”. I’m not sure if will fit but there are the internal dimensions if that helps. You could remove your battery out of the case it’s in and you could make it work. Licitti does have 280ah kit that works for it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
great demostration. 100% done
LandFill makers czcams.com/video/K6oXMWva4xw/video.html
Thank you for all the information. I watched a bunch of videos on this power station but your video was the best. I ordered one now I’m going to watch the video on how you built the expansion battery. Hoping I can built my own expansion battery!
Thanks for watching, I believe you will love the power station.
Best review of this product yet
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I love pecron. I have the e3000 and about to get the e2000 lfp. They make a good product
Pecron is great. Love their products. Thanks for watching and commenting.
How's it holding up?😮
Still using it and it’s holding up fine.
Great video. But I have one important question. When the charger is completely full/charged, What color is it? Is it a solid red because I've been charging my battery for 10 hours and it's still a solid red. I've heard people say it should be green if that's the case after 10 hours, I'm not sure why it is not green. So again. My question is when it is fully charged what color is the indicator supposed to be? Thanks
I believe it stops flashing when it’s fully charged but is red
Thanks for the info!
What was your total cost, minus the battery 🔋?
I can’t remember the exact cost but it was under $75 I believe minus the battery.
Thanks for replying!
Could you provide links to the other accessories as well?
That is a great deal on a 100ah lifePo4 battery.... $160.00 with $40 discount!!!
Thank you for sharing. Very informative! I just got into solar power 🔋, and I can't wait to order one. I was trying to decide between an inverter and a power station, so this battery box will be perfect!! My wife is pissed off because I'm spending so much money on this stuff, but she will appreciate it some day when the world goes to complete $h!t. Could you please give me the brand name of your power strip? That's a great idea by the way. Thanks again!! That looks like a lone star cap. Do you live in Texas?
The power strip is a Kolbalt from Lowes. The hat is a Bucee’s hat, I’m from Kentucky. Solar can be addictive but you can’t have too much. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Why not add a light to the cigarette lighter port one watt or so to have constant power to run the fridge
You can definitely do that. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yes it is! Thanks for watching and commenting
I have a bunch of these 10A versions and one of the 20A and they all work well. Very efficient, and almost no heat produced. One of the 10A versions lives under the hood of one of my vehicles, mounted to the engine cover, keeping the battery topped up with a 100W roof mounted solar panel.
That’s awesome. I like that use for keeping a car battery topped off. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Enjoyed the video , will continue watching your content.
Thank you, it’s much appreciated.
I've been wondering about these little guys. I want to throw one on my truck battery thats parked most of the time.
It’s pretty handy, they make a 20 amp one as well. Just don’t like the SAE connection, but that’s easily fixed.
@@PreppinontheCreek12 I hate SAE since you always have to use polarity swapper things.
I would probably replace those connections with either xt60 or xt90 connectors to solar and battery…it’s what I’ve Done with my Victron Mppt charge controllers..
Yea that’s my only complaint with this charge controller. But it’s easily fixed. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Got myself an my mother one and it came yesterday. I am very happy with it so far. Today was a bad day for solar however it was cloudy lol
I hope it works well for you and your mother. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I'm really interested by this product but some reviews make me think twice.. Some people seem to say that it drained the battery instead of charging it. Have you experienced or heard anything in this regard? The specs said the built-in diode is here to prevent this from happening..and that's basically what we want to avoid !! maybe some defective units??
I can only speak for my experience and it has worked fine.
My eb240 won’t run my vitamix.
Try putting it on variable speed and slowly turn it up.
I did. I tried the slowest speed. It would turn the blender head about a turn and then stop and then eventually give and error code. Apparently some appliances spike power when you first turn it on and it’s obviously past what the inverter can handle. I tired a hair dryer and it worked on low speed as well as a computer. I tired a water boiler and the same thing happened. Doing some research I saw a guy complaining his fridge would do the same thing on two different units. He found out the fridge spikes when the compressor turns on. I actually found your video while doing some research. Thanks for the help. Glad it works for you.
@Skam1one sorry it’s not working for you. Thanks for watching.
I ordered 10 of these 10 watt units from Amazon. I live in alaska and I hope they can maintain my wheelers and snowmachines, boats etc. what is the results from your trials?
I’ve had no issues. Work great as long as you keep them where they can get good sun. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Are you going to test it with your set up?
Going to use it as a standalone 12v power supply. Thanks for watching and commenting.
what cheapest battery will work on this box? can a lid acid battery work on this box? ever start 12 v battery?
One of the cheapest lifepo4 batteries is dr prepare (drprepare.com/100ah-lifepo4-lithium-deep-cycle-battery-connect-in-series/). You can use use any 12v battery. So yes your everstart will work. You will get your best results though with a lifepo4 battery. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Li = lithium, fe = iron, po4 = phosphorus, I think.
After surfing through CZcams for two hours looking at these, I finaly found a bare bones answer to a simple question instead of all the tech shit that everyone else does. I live bush in Australia and need one of these for the same purpose. Camping grounds all have power but just need something for inbetween jaunts. I seen a post where a bloke plugs in his little 400w inverter to his car cigarette plug to fast charge this unit, using 240w power, and this seems to work a treat. I just cant be buggered playing around with solar panels. Get in, get the job done, get out. Just like your clip. Mate, that was awsome.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I do appreciate it.
How do you change the AC socket to accept 230v 50Hz as in Europe we use 230v appliances. In the product description it states that you can use 230v. Thanks.
That, I don’t know. You can contact the company and ask them that question. I’m sorry wish I could be more help with that.
These units seem to be a very a functional and cost effective solution to building your own battery box but just be aware that they charge $55 for 7 day UPS shipping but my order has been almost 10 days and have not even received notification that my order has even shipped, they will not respond to any emails and their online chat is ALWAYS offline. If you purchase from this Chinese company, make sure you use a method that will allow you to get your money back. Company seems a bit scammy.
I got the Mr coffee maker from your link & unfortunately.. it overloaded on my bluetti eb2a..??
I’m sorry it’s overloading. In the video it was overloading my EB3A as well. You have to turn on powerlifting in the Bluetti app to run that coffee pot on the EB3A.
@@PreppinontheCreek12 thank you so much.. I did what u said and it works.. again thank you. I had to order it from the states it it was on sale for $25 & with tax, shipping it came to $50.00 in Canada same coffee maker on Amazon is $93.00-. 👍🏼
@deborah-r I’m glad it’s working for you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
WARNING! I purchased this product because of videos like this but man have I had a horrible experience I spent $370 Canadian $70 of that shipping and handling and the only sent me the charger and it's been over a month and they still haven't sent me the Box I had to file a fraud case with PayPal. 3 days ago I received the tracking number from Mark Xu Marketing Operations Manager. This was supposed to be for the battery box But it was for the charge I already received. Good thing UPS took a photo and I have a picture of it by my door which obviously shows that it's a small box.
It’s really hard to buy a good efficient folding panels unless you pay a lot for them. I have 4 sp120’s, not impressed at all. I have 6 400w Ecoflow folding panels and they are very efficient when they are in a frame that supports them well and allows for easy adjustment. You can push the amp limit but not the voltage. I over panel my eb150 & eb240 with 6 100w JJN half cut cell 9bb panels. I’m able to put 535 watts into these power stations. I run three 3s2p arrays which is 61v @ 9.8a. I can feed all three arrays parallel into my delta pro’s as well.
That’s awesome!
I watched your video for a third time. Every time, I learned something about this little device to help get better use from it. Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching and for your nice comments.
i bought this charged it once then used it once now it won't come on. piece of junk in my book wasted money i can't use it
Sorry yours failed you. I use mine regularly and it has worked fine. Not crazy about how slow it charges but it works. Thanks for watching and for your comments.
I have been buying appliances below 1k watts, so that I can run them off this one should I need to for a short emergency. Also I am planning on getting a lithium extension battery to extend its duration. My fridge runs of a bluetti with 3k inverter, but I am sure it will run off this one since is a small new one that for the most part uses less than 100 watts at every cycle. The compressor highest I see is 200 watts.
That’s great, it is an awesome power station for its size. The expansion battery is a great idea. Thanks watching and commenting.
Just bought 2 of the 5w Panels Amazon Black Friday, $17ea, almost the identical kits, just a different brand name on the box. I'm going to install on my clamshell snowmobile trailer to maintain the snowmobile batteries. Hope they work out. Good review, Thanks. 👍🏻
Thank you for watching.
How do I get the extra warranty year? I do not see a scan code.
You need to register your Pecron on their website within 30 days of purchase to get the extra year. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
@@PreppinontheCreek12 Thanks, I did it!
I just got this one. Could not pass up the deal. So far so good. I am in TX, and we are having lame days, so it is hard to keep it on solar. It charges, but it takes longer. I can wait for more sunny days to hook it up to my two flex 100w panels.
Fan sounded very noisy
The fan is very noisy. That’s the one drawback of this power station. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice job. I’m building a few of these with some $59 JJN 100w 9bb panels. I get 95 watts out of each of them.
That’s awesome!
Why does the display keep going off?
The display dims and then turns off after so many seconds. You can push any button to get it to come back on.
Oh! Okay! Thank you for your quick response! I don’t know very much about solar, and there’s quite a learning curve! Thanks again!
@@evelyny7037 no problem, thanks for watching.
My display goes from bright to dim, but never goes out as long as something is plugged in. And I love the shit out of that, I get so tired of continuously pushing that damm button, to see the screen. And hear's something else I discovered, when charging at 388 watts solar (that was the most I got)you can get the inverters max of 1200 watts plus the 388 for 1588, the extra juice comes directly off the panels. I love this thing. And to top it off I got it for less than 300 out the door.
@bernswonger57 this thing is awesome, and you’re right you can’t beat the price. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I like this box but $55 for shipping makes this a tougher purchase
Yes, that’s is steep for shipping
I tried to find it cheaper online, which I did, but the shipping was outrageous. AliExpress and Alibaba sell it for about $140, but they charge $200 - $400 for shipping! So, $55 is sounding pretty damn sweet right now!
