PECRON is doing a great job with their pricing!

for Pecron users on SD: How do you like your Pecron units? And have any of you played around with ECO-WORTHY too?

I understand the appeal of AIO for most people but modular units like ECO-WORTHY gives me confidence I can just swap parts later as they whitelabel retail units.

I have heard on YT that Pecron units while AIO is modular internally and built to be torn apart and fixed by the user but I am yet to hear it from an actual (non YT) user

I have been owning the E3600LFP and 1 extension (EP3000) for about a year now. I use 2 x 800W solar strings (4 x 400W residential panels) to charge it, and honestly it's been going great. I use them to Cool down my garage using a 12000 portable AC and the remaining Kwh are going towards my EV. In a normal Summer day I get about 9kwh, so I've been using it daily more than a cycle and a half.I did have one issue with the balancing of the EP3000. Aftet 3-4 days of normal usage the E3600LFP wouldn't not recognize the expansion unit anymore. I had to unplug and plug it back in and they it would work. I reached out to them, and Initially I've been told to drain the battery to 0% and charge it back to 100%. Did that, didn't work, contacted them again and they told me that the 16th string of the battery had low voltage. They sent me a return label, fixed it in about a week and got it back soon after. And I never had that issue anymore.I do have another Pecron, the E1000LFP, and that works great too.Oh and I do have the Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra + 4 batteries that I use it to offset my energy bill and as a backup for when the good people from PG&E decide to interrupt the electricity. That monster has been working flawlessly since July.2024. Hope this helps someone

Great feedback! Repped

For some reason the cells in your EP3000 are going out of balance - the reason could be multiple but the biggest possibility is that the current sensors aren't reading correctly.

Is the EP3000 in a uniformly air conditioned area or is there a part of it exposed to warmth/heat and another part to cold (for example, is it next to a fridge or AC or heat pump water heater or a garage gate?)

I would recommend you use a complete portable power station, which is more convenient. Even if any part is faulty, most of the time you can replace the accessories it yourself, I have not used the eco-worthy type power supply, but I hear that their panels seem to be quite cheap

You've clearly got tons of experience, your setup sounds like it can handle just about any power outage. I'm a bit of power station addict myself, with a total capacity of around 28KWh, Honest thought, I still haven't found the right solar panel system, I'm looking for something that could realistically handle 10KW input in a day, Your solar panels system sounds impressive, was it very costly to put together?

I have the 2400wh pecron unit that I got for $650. I like it except for a few things:

It's noisy when it is charging. A very annoying buzzing sound. Luckily it drains to 90%, then charges back to 100% when plugged in so you only hear it very occasionally.

If I drain it to 0-5%, as I do occasionally to test the battery, for some reason it refuses to charge straight back to 100%. I have to unplug and replug it into the wall AC 3 or 4 times to get it all the way back to 100%. I think it's the overheating failsafe, which is fine, but it's annoying.

I like it otherwise. Runs my freezer chest for almost exactly 24 hours.

Considering throwing up a unit like this in my garage to power various chargers / small items, along with a 400watt panel.

If the solar is connected and providing power, will it take power from solar first versus an AC input?

It is on the side of the garage where I get around 80 degrees throughout the summer, and low 60s during winter. And the EP3000 stays on top of the E3600lfp. I think it was a bad cell from the beginning, but I kind of found that way arohnd it where I would unplug it and plug it back in. I was kind of skeptical when I started the warranty claim, but the whole process went very smoothly.Oh and one thing for everyone that wants to buy any of these batteries, make sure to not throw away the original packaging. It's very helpful to have it in case you need to open a warranty claim.

So as I mentioned before I have 4 x 400 W LG residential panels that go to the Pecron E3600LFP on 2 separate strings, technically, I could have added 2 more to maximize the solar input, but I ran out of real estate haha.
Those solar panels costed $120 each on fb marketplace.
And then I decided to buyild a solar pergola where I could add 10 x 395 w Hyperyon all black (Hyperion 395W Bifacial Solar Panel (Black) | Up to 495W with Bifacial Gain) that I got off of signaturesolar for about $150 each (sales tax + shipping included). I did get a quick disconnect for the entire array (about $50), 100 ft of 10 AWG solar wiring (~$120), and the lumber that I used to build the 10 x 20 pergola. I did use 6x6 posts and I did have to build. I'm attaching some pictures for reference.
And I know the solar panels are flat and not at an angle, but that's what worked best for us and considering the fact that I get sun from sunrise to sunset, they work great for our needs.
