Fairly low at 50V, but probably pretty common at this price point. A pair of 250W panels paralleled together will max it out.
IMO, it seems like something you'd use for camping/emergency backup, and not necessarily running your entire house on daily.
For $500, I'd be tempted to gamble, even though I know the warranty would likely be worth the paper it's printed on.

The SUPER cheap Lifepo4 batteries will very likely not have ANY sort of warranty.
no name brand especially.
***That said --- don't fully discharge.*** That's how I almost killed TWO of my no name brand lifepo4 devices. 1 definitely died. The other one I got lucky and was able to revive by attempting to recharge it twice a month using different means (AC and solar) over a span of 3 months.
Shame I don't have extra disposable income at the moment. 500 bucks for a 2000 kwh is cheap enough to risk as a backup option for hurricane season......
Good luck to any buyers willing to gamble, even more good luck if someone tries to fully drain to test the system's durability lol
Unasked for notes:
How did I kill my other no name brand battery? Solar charge while charging a Ryobi power tool battery. Draw was greater than solar charge (wasn't paying attention at the time), device fully drained and wouldn't turn on for a few weeks.
#2: Having learned from the first paper weight, I kept mostly good tabs on a pecron 614Wh device.
Lost track of time one day and fully drained 614wh device using AC adapter (was plugged into laptop)
No amount of recharges via solar or AC adapter would recover device.
It's the Oukitel p2001. Oukitel just came out with a P2001 Plus(which is selling at a pretty good price).
FFpower also had the same exact unit.
I've followed every power on SD and this is the cheapest for a 2000w/2000wh at $500.
Previously, it was $599.
The great point is this power station can just about run everything for you for $500.
Take this with you camping and you're set.
Charging from an outlet is fast at 1100w and you just need a cord. NO power brick.
The weak point is that the solar input is only 12v-48v but that still let you series 2 panels together.
The AC usable capacity is on the low side, Around 80% which is about 1600wh of 2000wh.
The worst thing about buying this is after you get, you're pretty much on your own.
Don't expect to get any kind of support from a no name brand. They are probably getting rid of inventories.
Personally, would I take a chance on the machine at $500 ?
Right now, probably not but it doesn't mean you shouldn't get one.
I would probably spend more for the Oukitel p2001 Plus.
It's $799 with a free portable 100w panel and no tax.

I have an extra panels that I use to charge the Pecron and I drain it to my main system.
I think you just got some bad units. Lifepo4 batteries are mean to be drain to zero.
I have plenty of Lifepo4 power stations and I drain all down to zero with no issue.

HOWEVER - most people don't have lots of disposable income, so I'm just throwing caution out there. No sweat off my back if people believe you over me. It's not my money on the line lol

No name brands don't turn on until you attempt to charge, and if you're unlucky like in my case, they don't turn back on at all.
The issue here is the fact that companies aren't upholding their promises these days is concerning.
Completely unrelated situation - I had an issue with a eufy product. Security camera, not even battery related. Contacted support - 1st reply within an hour. After I replied with answers to their questions? Much slower response times. Ok, fine, whatever. It's really expensive to keep fast response times up. Then when I asked about something that would cost money or a return? Ghosting. The only thing I've learned from these experiences from the past year? Unless you want to deal with chargebacks, take appropriate precautions. My entire 15+ years of shopping online - I lost one chargeback. So it's not bulletproof. Definitely in buyer's favor but not 100% guaranteed either......

They are meant to drain to 0%.
If they weren't meant to be drain to 0%, they would have it stop at 5% or something.
You just got bad units.

$500 is tempting and great if it works out. But you've also got that risk of a $500 paperweight.
If you do buy, you'd better run the heck out of in those 90 days.
