- ENDURANCE TEST and review of the Pecron E600 LFP solar generator / portable power station. I was sent this unit for evaluation and I don't get any commissions for sales. In this video I put the E600 LFP through a variety of tests to see how it performs in real world circumstances. The endurance test consists of several days of running a 5000btu window air conditioner while charging from 200-300 watts of solar power all day. This type of test, while slightly unreasonable for a system of this size, is designed to expose any flaws in system cooling and overall performance.
I also tested the DC outputs and USB charging, and provide general commentary and feedback throughout the test. Minimum time spent evaluating this unit was 7 days.
A solar generator is a great way for people who are new to solar power to get started without much effort. Just plug in the solar panels and go.

Wow. So it really does the job. It can power up the appliances even the air conditioning unit while being charging from the solar panel.
@lesliejerry3 Yes, this surprised me. I thought it would fail to start the AC, The surge demand is quite high. I expected overheating too, from solar charging. 600w load plus 300+w charging. I guess there are enough fans and cooling inside
most likely the surge demand is high when appliances are used all together simultaneously. and you did prove that it can power up the ac flawlessly. btw you're the only youtuber to post a video that gives a detailed review and shows usage while being charge at the same time. thanks for the review. im gonna buy it next week.
@lesliejerry3 That is encouraging, really glad to hear it, thanks for the kind feedback :)
Great test for the pecron.
@funtimeworker2501 TY :)
I love this company I have 2 of the E600's and 3 of the E2000's. They make a good product and very reasonably priced compared to other brands.
Same, I'm going to look at their bigger models... Comparing it to other machines I have tested or repaired, I was pretty impressed. Also I prefer LFP cells very much.
Great video, and I might choose this brand next purchase, I do run a Blue 600 that 12 volt shut down service.
@OCHO.008 Thanks - I too will consider them in the future, frankly the performance impressed me
I love mine, got it about a year and a half ago on sale for 270. Price vs performance is extremely favorable and the surge capacity is insane for a unit of its size. A little funky when fully charged, it micro cycles the top 5% if your using it at higher wattages. I made a 12 volt to 36 volt charger for it so I can high rate charge it from a car. I used jumper cables, the minimum input for the mppt is 32. The size isn’t enough for an over night box fan but good enough for smaller ones. It dies top balance, so don’t forget to fully charge it from time to time.
Mines 400 watt max, not sure if it’s truly 400 or they corrected later models and it’s actually 300.
It runs good! interesting idea for charging with 12v high power. I may just have to cut up some cables if I can find any here...
@@solarpoweredge Mine are 400 w's as well they changed the controller a couple of months back. With a 400w qcell panel 41 volt rating I get around 367 w input on a typical sunny day.
@@solarpoweredge they sell an extra adapter for 15-20 bucks. It’s what I used. XT90 on the dc converter. It will start my refrigerator btw, full size with a 2100 watt surge.
@Deveak Impressive. Need to plug in the 2 freezers here just to see what happens.
Did you get the E1500lfp yet, was thinking of that one myself, but would like to see a real world review, not a sponsored test.
@t.d.harris1311 I hear you there. Sorry I wasn't able to order yet . But when I do there will certainly be a good test :)
Good: display, 100W USB0C 200$ price is good!. Not preferred: Solar input should be XT60; power brick should be inside unit with just generic AC cord.
@goodcitizen4587 XT60 is definitely more robust - I did not notice the provided connector getting hot. Maybe they are using 2 pair conductors in parallel, not sure.
Can i use it for daily use aircon (0.5 hp aircon). With 800w solar panel. Or the device will get dead sooner?
@graphx88 Hi, for daily use, need more battery and charging capability. The E1500 LFP (or 2000) is a better fit for air conditioning. I used the 5000btu AC to stress test the E600 LFP, but realistically, I would not recommend this except for emergencies. To run an AC daily, the ideal minimum solar capacity for a 5000btu is 2-3kw/h. With 800w of solar charging that would be fine for sunny days and might even get through the whole night depending on how much time the AC compressor has to cycle. Just my thoughts... hope it helps
During the sale the 3 models have these cost per Wh :
PECRON E600LFP $329 614Wh 53.6₵ per Wh
PECRON E1500LFP $699 1536Wh 45.5₵ per Wh
PECRON E2000LFP $899 1920Wh 46.8₵ per Wh
It looks like the E1500LFP has the best ratio
Great number crunching here... thanks! Tempting to pick up the 1500 or 2000
