You have been warned: DO NOT BUY THIS TOOL! #shorts

If you are planning to purchase a portable power station and use solar panels for power, you may want to watch this first. #solargenerator

[mikeparenti]

It has 2 600 watt solar ports, may need a custom cable. But read your labels.

[drstellamd]

I have it. It works fine and I bought two 200 watt panels from pecron that charge it just fine.
It ran my refrigerator for several hours.
Charged it months ago and it held power at about 95%

[andevipertraderpfeiffer]

Clearly dude does not know what he is talking about.

I have 2 Pecron E1500elp power stations. When plugged into a house AC plug they charge in one hour.
There is no external powerbrick. The AC and DC buttons require holding them in for 2 or 3 seconds to turn on or off. I purchased a 650w solar panel suitcase that connects to the power station using standard solar power cabling and works quite nicely. I was so impressed with the first one I bought that I bought a second one. I’m sorry to hear the 2200 is not working out well for you.

Keep it real man, not all tools are perfect

[runsfar]

This would have been state of the art in 2001

I finally used my Pecron E1500LFP when we had a power outage on Monday. It was charged on May 10 and was down to 92% when I used it. Worked flawlessly!! No power brick on my model!!

[bobseguin]

It comes with a 5 pin plug to mc4 for solar panels....

[bradgalloway]

Not sure of your situation but I have this exact model and it works great. I use it with my solar panels no problem and it holds a full charge for at least 6 months. Only down side I found is that it is not easily expanable. The new models are.

[mcantu]

the only way it would have drained would be if you left the AC inverter on. And it absolutely has solar inputs

[solarmeateater]

If you leave inverters turned on in any power station, they will draw a load for the duration. That's what inverters are like inside or outside of power stations. So, you just need to be mindful to switch them off when not in use.

Also, as many have said, you won't find any solar panel that just hooks right into any charge controller without some adapter, usually xt60i or Anderson style connectors. That's just what charge controllers are like inside or outside of power stations.

Essentially, you're just in a bit too much of a hurry to judge.

I have over 1 year with this battery, it is plug to solar 1000w ( 4x250w panels) zero problems i was able to get 780w of solar and i connect my projector and my windows ac to watch some movies in that room, last march we lot power and it was the first time i plug to my generator i charge it fine and keep using on my refrigerator. I cant complain about this unit when it has been working excellent for my needs. And yes i agree i dont like the ac charger

[AfricanLionBat]

You could also have a faulty unit with a bad battery

[jpol]

A car battery hold a good charge for that long! Take a car battery jump cables and an inverter instead of that power bank and you'll be better off.

I have the smaller unit the 600 watt hour. Mine came with an adapter to plug in solar panels. They do need to be above 32 volts since it’s a 24 volt battery. My only complaint is it’s a top balance so you need to charge it up all the way or you lose capacity and it shuts off early and it tends to micro cycle the top 5%. It fully charges and shuts off the charger until it hits 95%. Other than that it’s been great and I use it a lot. The inverter will do a full 1200 watts and it starts my full-size fridge that has a 2100 watt surge. I used it to run a microwave and toaster. I prefer the external power supply. You can easily replace it. You need to buy an adapter and cut it and splice in your own power supply but you can use any 32+ volt power supply as long as it’s under the rated amount for the controller. I wanted faster 12 volt charging so I took jumper cables and a 12-36 volt boost circuit and can charge it at 360 watts from a car battery. It has its quirks but I paid rock bottom prices for the features it has. 279 at the time.

Bro, you've got a defective product. The only problem I've had with our unit is the app doesn't wanna connect. Big names like Ecoflow and Bluetti are lowering their prices significantly too so all good news for the average joe.

[neoskater]

Got a cheap Topshak 2200Wh thing was good in the beginning but now only last about a day using 12v dc on eco for a cooler fridge. Just got a jackery 2000 plus 1.5 hours to charge using ac no power brick just a cord can attach up 6 solar panels I have a champion duel fuel generator save gas/propane my topshak take 10hours to charge power brick gets really hot and barley works yup glad I upgraded.

[MeaganEater]

Walmart ONN Emergency E-Generator can take Solar. In fact, I went to Harbor Freight tools and purchased two 100-Watt foldable solar panels and purchased their circular solar multistage adapter and had two 100-watt solar panels charging it.

Sadly, it also goes almost dead after a few months on the shelf, so now once every two months I dig it out, have it run something and then recharge it.

Going off grid I would go w an Ecoflow delta pro.
I’m not a diehard prepper but full disclosure I’m worried about an EMP event with the world as crazy as it is right now. Ecoflow seems to have the most expansive capabilities. You pay up for sure, but what’s the price for piece of mind?

Best of luck to everyone and Gd bless.

Ecoflow, anchor, blue yeti and renology.
