Nice review :)

NOTE: That cable (with the 2 XT-60's on it) is for having a 1 large solar panel array up to 2, 400 watts = 150v @ 40a input.
(instead of having 20a on each port)

*it makes the MPPT controllers work as a team rather than independent ones.
this info is located on page 8 of the owner's manual....
There is a simple option in the setting that allows you to either runs those ports separate or in parallel config.

**you have to set that option "BEFORE" you plug in and use that cable. ;)

P.S. We own every power station that pecron sells and have thousands of hours of testing and reviews on them.

I purchased the E3600 at their introductory price but before it was delivered they had a promotion that was cheaper than my purchase price. I sent an email to their support team and they got back to me a few days later and offed to refund me $200. I'd say that's top notch support in my books.

[mcantu]

another plus is that if you order from the Pecron site, you don't get charged sales tax because the payment processing happens in Hong Kong

[BattleshipSailorBB]

Huh. I had no problem receiving support for my little E600 a few months ago. I posted a question through their website, got a prompt reply with troubleshooting which got me back up and running, and even personable, cheerful response when I related a 1-week follow up verifying I was back in operation.

As a retired diabetic, if your content is aimed at me, how about testing small refrigerators and how long they last on various power units? You know for storing insulin in power outages. Btw, buy a USB chargeable headset lamp, for when your hands are full. They shine light where you are looking.

[MaRo-uy]

That dual cable is for bringing in solar in parallel. If U look in settings there is an individual or parallel setting. Individual is for two arays in series coming in separately. The parallel setting is for one aray coming in parallel. If that makes any sense. It's actually in the manual, I think. That cable works when U change the setting to parallel on the touch screen. Hope that helps. Don't throw that cable away.

[godshandbigfootofalabama]

I bought it. It works great and I'm old, on the verge of Diabetes, take 4 Oxys a day and I STILL figured it out easily.
But yeah, I bought the wheeled cart. Am using it mainly for off grid camping so I don't scare off Bigfoot running my gas generator.
...Got a two thumbs up from Bigfoot !

Taking advantage of the Black Friday sale ordered (1) e3600lfp, (2) ep3000-48v, plus their new ev300 portable solar panel for $3, 491.15 total. Racked it on a Harbor Freight $13 dolly that looks like it was made for it. So now I have a 12x18" 9kWh. power rack on wheels. So far a very happy purchaser!

[michaelgrabarek]

I’ve had great support from Pecron. I have a question for you: can the 30A dc out from the 3600 be paralleled with the 30A dc out from the expansion battery to make a 60A dc to run the dc side of a small 5th wheel?

[fscottgray]

I bought one of these for my overlanding rigg. It is not much bigger than my Bluetti AC180 and fit in the same space but with 3 times the battery bank. I am still waiting for the expansion battery. It does not support bluetooth but will hook to wifi which I think is a miss. With the Pecron 500 dc charger I am always topped off.

[Euphoriame]

What sold me on the Pecron e3600LFP unit vs the Delta Pro besides price was the wireless charging capability for 2 phones on top of the unit that no one mentions, plus it's 20 pounds lighter so I can move it to my RV when camping with the foldable 200w panels. I prefer the aesthetics of the Delta Pro and the overall design, but the pricing with similar power capabilities and a couple of extra features including a very functional app was the deal maker for me, not to mention that Shop Solar stands behind the unit if I have a issue and don't have to deal with Pecron directly.

[DaveSquibbSr]

Having no lights on the face of a big unit Always bothered me too because I hate fumbling in the dark trying to find the stuff I need to plug into it

[shelley]

As a regular customer and not an influencer, their lack of customer support is a deal breaker for me. They expect you to pay for shipping if returning the product. Unlike ecoflow I sent 3 3 year old delta max 2000's and they paid for shipping to and from and gave me a river pro expansion battery for my river pro for the inconvenience of having to send 3 units back. Their customer service may be wonky but one thing for sure EcoFlow stands behind their product. Being a regular customer I don't trust them to send me a working unit like most tubers receive.

[KurtWeirich]

I was considering buying this unit when I learned an expensive lesson about Pecron.

Sadly my e1500 suffered a hardware failure less than a year after purchasing it.
Then I found out after 90 days you have to pay to ship your unit to Pecron for service - over $100 in my case! I had a similar hardware issue with an Oupes product and they shipped everything for free. I am disappointed in Pecron's policy.

[criticalthinker]

I made the mistake of buying from Pecron directly and I agree with what you're saying about Pecron support. Trying to get a replacement/refund during the 30-day "satisfaction guarantee" is like pulling teeth. God help anyone who needs warranty service.

[dallas]

An interesting feature that was not mentioned was a 3200 W fast charging using AC power and a 30 amp plug

[Djamestm]

In Dave from Nebraska's defense. He is really nice. He's also extremely knowledgeable, and he works for free. If you're out there, I love you Dave.

[MyGuyKirby]

Hey, us retired diabetics need the wheel on the units. We do not have those strong arms!

[sk]

Did I miss what the battery is made of & how many estimated life cycles b4 it downgrades to 80%?
