I'm a huge Pecron fan that owns 3 of their power stations and 2 of their solar panels but this is a pass for me. It's hard to find this anywhere in the info, but this is one of their oldest units and being so, it still uses an outdated, bulky, and proprietary AC to DC charging brick to charge from an AC wall outlet and its only 630 watts, meaning not only are you forced to use this adaptor, but it will take close to 4 hrs to charge from a wall outlet. That 1-2 hr fast charging figure it advertises is misleading because to charge that fast, you have to be max charging it with both of its separate 100 & 1200watt solar inputs for 1300 watts of total solar, and AC charging with 630 watts to achieve at total of 1930 watts of charging, which is just not realistic. Pretty certain this is their last model that still uses an old school style power brick and not a simple standard AC power cord. On top of all that, the power brick it uses, isn't standard. It uses Pecrons propriety plug so you are forced to use or buy theirs if you ever lose the original. Lastly, even its solar inputs are proprietary so if you lose their included adapter, you have to buy their brand adapter to replace it. Thankfully, Pecron has fully moved away from using proprietary plugs on all of their newer products. This is a really good price in terms of Wh/$ but unfortunately it's shortcomings still outweigh the good price. That large and proprietary charging brick and low AC charging wattage is a deal breaker for me.

Oh ick! Thank you for sharing!I have 4 of the E1000LFP for UPS and backups when we lose grid power. They've done well and I enjoy the PC PSU style cables.Just ordered the E2000LFP this weekend and realized it may be coming with the power brick ($519 before I saw this) which is not a good thing.Oh well, at least returns to Amazon is easy. Or I can hope, maybe this is a newer model. Hope...

Couple of things to keep in mind. The older version looks like it's a 24V battery pack so you can use the MJ32 cable to connect to a couple of 24V batteries. The expansion for this is listed at $519.

The newer model is the 248V E2400LFP which has a 48V battery pack. Using the same MJ32 cable means you'll have to have a 48V expansion or buy the expansion for $699

I debated buying the current eco-worthy $399 refurbished 50ah 48V at about 2400wh, you'd have to get the MJ32 cable if you wanted a shot at bi-directional charging for $59

So if you are looking at a basic 110V battery pack + expansion, then the 24V may be the way to go. But if you're looking for the E2400LFP know that the expansion battery pack (unless you want to rig your own) is going to be about $180 more.
