1) solar input occasionally stop charging, until unplug and reconnect the charging port
2) trying to run my induction cooktop and I notice the voltage drop from 120V down to 99V for higher cooking level, this is not good for sensitive electronic ( can run my Inverter Window AC but cannot run my portable AC due to voltage drop)
3) USBC and USBA cannot run at the same time
1--They said you can use a higher power solar panel to avoid this issue.
2--They mentioned that it's likely because your induction cooker's power is too high, triggering the smart voltage reduction function. They think your induction cooker's power might exceed 1200W.
3--They explained that both USBC and USBA can be used simultaneously. When using USBC, you can utilize the lower USBA port to simultaneously output 100W and 18W of power.
But I've gifted an E600LFP to my sister, and I'll have her test the third issue tomorrow.

At one point, I had a 12v portable fridge, two cell phones and an AC desk fan running at the same time while charging. The display will switch between a positive and negative number depending on your in vs out wattage, but otherwise it all worked fine.
The only real thing I can ding this device on is that I don't think it has a MPPT charge controller (or at least not a good one). If charging the Pecron off my 100W solar panel and it shows 70 watts in, if I swap the cable over to my Ecoflow River 2, it will show something like 80+ watts. There's anywhere between a 10-15 watt difference between the two units and I trust the Ecoflow since it's solar in wattage matches what I get on an inline DC watt meter off the panel. The Pecron still charges with non issues, it just seems to have more loss in it's charging circuit somewhere.
with 100watt solar panel on 100watt solar input, or the 7pin, if charging something something at the same time, the solar drops then goes back up, drops and goes back up.
they said something about voltage, to try 2 solar panels.
not the only issue i had with it.
they refuse to send me shipping label.
whatever.
ill use it as a great efficiency battery, it really is, but i wont bother solar charging and discharging at the same time.
this turned me off of pecron, even the new 1500lfp

That says, it is still a flaw that you need to trade some USB-C charging speed if you want to keep another 2 USB-A devices charged at the same time.
The only lacking I think is that the wireless charging spot doesn't appear to be spacious enough. My iPhone 12 Pro Max just fits snugly, and I place it on there, I need to check if it's in the right position.
Honestly, that's the true test of a "good" "solar generator"
Other test scenario is what happens if you plug a solar panel into battery to charge before sun is fully out. Cheaper controllers discharge battery or in Pecron's case, goes into a holding pattern of max fan but 0 charging, even after the sun is out and solar panel's output is maxed out. Have to babysit and wait until solar panel is outputting wattage before plugging in.
These are minor issues but ultimately can kill device. Pay with paypal and charge back if issues within 6 months. Good luck, people gambling!
