PECRON Portable Power Station, E1500LFP Solar Generator 1536Wh, 2200W AC Output LiFePO4 Battery Backup, Fast Charging Power Station for Home use, RV, and Outdoor Camping

Have this in our dog house attached to three solar panels and it works just as it should. Great product with a good price point.

I've owned the E1500LFP for a few months now, and have been very happy with it so far. I live in California and our electric company will shut off the power several times a year during fire season. We'll also lose power in the rainy season due to tree branches taking down power lines. I live in a rural wooded area, so I'd estimate we go 1-2 weeks a year without power. That's gotten very annoying as I work from home in IT and need power to work. So I researched a lot of brands for battery storage under $1000 and Pecron seemed to be the best value. It's a no frills brand that focuses on the basics. Which suited me just fine because I don't want to pay extra for frills. The unit is built well, and with 1536Wh was higher than other brands in the same price range. I don't currently have any solar panels, but hope to add some eventually, along with the expansion batteries. Once I have that setup, I should be able to run my entire work from home setup off of the battery during the day, even if there's power outages. There are a few features I would like to see added/improved. First, the mobile app isn't very good. I think this is Pecron's first unit with a compatible mobile app. So I'm glad they have one at all. But you can tell it's new as it doesn't do much. I'm hopeful that they'll improve on it over time. I would love it if they added the ability to schedule when the unit will draw power from the AC outlet. I'm currently using the unit to help lower my electric bill, but charging it from a wall outlet overnight, and then using it to power my networking equipment when electricity is expensive (3pm-12am). I'm currently using a $20 smart outlet to schedule this, and have the Pecron plugged into it. But it would be nice to be able to schedule this on the unit itself. The other issue with the app is the data it collects. Why does it need to know my precise location to function? Or need access to my photos and videos? I would like to see the data collection of the app reduced, as Pecron is based in China and I don't feel comfortable giving the app access to everything the app is asking for. So I don't use the app, and instead point an old security camera I wasn't using at the unit's display so I can check the battery percentage from my phone instead of climbing up to the attic. Here are a few pros and cons on the unit: Pros Price Build Quality Expandable Lots of solar inputs Friendly Customer Support Cons Mobile app lacks features Mobile app collects lots of user data In summary, it's a great unit. If you ignore the app it's a perfect product for my needs. And thankfully, apps can be updated over time. So I am hopeful that Pecron will improve the app it so that it's as great as the battery. UPDATE: 6/5/24 Pecron reached out to me regarding details on the app data collection. Here's what they said: "Regarding the data it collects you mentioned, please allow us to explain the reason for knowing the exact location is that the APP has a built-in Bluetooth connection, which requires location permissions in order to smoothly connect to nearby devices, and if you don't have the permissions, you can't search for nearby devices. If you turn on the sharing function, you need to call the phone camera, so you need camera permissions. The acquired data is only for the normal communication between APP and host, we will not save it. "

This arrive and worked great for a couple weeks but then stopped charging. I reached out to Pecron and Kein with customer service got back to me right away and arranged a new unit without hassle or fuss. I've bought Pecron products before and stick with them because any issues are dealt with easily and don't require worrying about what happens if something goes wrong. I'll note that it is able to pull slightly more than the 700W from solar advertised (I maxed out around 720) and can put out plenty of power for all the items I plugged into it (I tend to max out around 500W, but it's fairly consistent 400W-500W) while charging.

I like the pecron LFP1500 charges up fast from the home wall outlet in an hour or so and up to 700 max via solar power/panel. The app is basic to control the power station from your phone. Good for weekend camping trips. My biggest issue is the 6 USB ports, 4 of them are USB-A and all output at 18watts. Of the other two USB-C ports only one of them charge at 100watts the other USB-C charge 18watts the same as the USB-A ports. This is a capable power station and we know the USB-C is able to output higher wattages than USB-A. I would have liked to have seen that in the second USB-C port.

I bought this Pecron power station for backup power at home and was really impressed with it. After some time my unit developed an issue, so I reached out to Pecron to see what could be done. Their customer service honestly blew me away. They responded very quickly (within about 1 hour), were super polite and professional, and treated my situation like a priority. Instead of giving me the runaround, they clearly explained the options, helped me step by step, and even arranged a special upgrade path to one of their larger F-series models. Electronics can have problems sometimes, but the way Pecron handled it showed they truly stand behind their products and care about their customers. Because of how well they took care of me, I feel confident sticking with Pecron for my power needs and would happily recommend them to other people.

From the moment I purchased this product it has been been one disappointing moment after after another. I didn’t take it out of the box right away didn’t need it at that moment but when I finally did, I couldn’t even get it to charge. This product battery supply sucks really bad. I had to contact the seller. I did all kind of reviews watching videos. I’m trying to understand why it would not charge. Finally I got it to charge once only one time did it fully charge and I used it for what was the intended purpose. Once I put it back up and stored it, I went back to charge it again now the battery is completely dead and it won’t even hold a charge. I left it sitting on the charger for two days. The light indicator shows that the battery will not charge anymore I have reached out to the seller once again, and it was stated that the batteries were dead, and I will have to send it back and they’ll be replacing the batteries, but that never did happen. Not sure if it’s just the model that I purchased I don’t know, but it’s not worth the headache. This is supposed to be a back up energy pack, but yet it doesn’t do very well from my experience.

Okay.. I’m so excited about my 2200W battery. Pecron is SUPERIOR in my eyes, including their customer service. Last year I bought the pecron 500W… I have used it every single day, all the way down to a 5 percent battery…for over a year now and it’s still amazing. I recharge either by solar (100W panel takes a few hours), or electric outlet (about an hour). Daily use: laptops, phones, iPads, blenders, hair straighteners, single electric burner, low wattage blow dryer, chicken lamp, etc. and it has always kept a steady good charge. I needed a big daddy battery to continue my autonomy and have more power for an electric cooler, a portable AC unit, and more. I’ve already used it four days in a row and I’m so happy with it. I work from home and this powers my laptop and monitors. Portability, check. It’s very easy to carry. Super easy to use with the app, and it’s quiet, not loud at all when charging or cooling down. Fast charge options and multiple options are awesome too. Highly recommend! Pecron customer FL!

I chose the PECRON E1500LFP because it’s expandable and offers multiple charging options, including solar and PECRON’s dedicated battery charger. That flexibility made it stand out from other units I was considering. I initially had an issue with the battery pack on the first unit. I reached out to PECRON support and Kein was extremely helpful throughout the process. He answered all my questions clearly, followed up consistently, and stayed in communication until everything was resolved. Overall, this has been a solid purchase. The product performs well, and the support experience, especially the clear communication from Kein, made the entire process smooth and reassuring. I appreciate a company that stays engaged with customers after the sale and stands behind its product.
