The Pecron F3000LFP stands out as a high capacity portable power station with strong expansion options and a very low price per watt hour. The modular design can use branded expansion batteries or compatible 48 volt third party batteries through the expansion port, and the 1600 watt solar input and 3600 watt output make it useful for camping, backup power, and heavier loads like a table saw. Reported drawbacks include no time of use or peak shaving mode, a noticeable standby drain, and slow or awkward 12 volt charging that may require a special adapter. Long term support and charging brick reliability also come up as concerns, making it a capable but not effortless setup.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. It supports branded expansion batteries through its official expansion port, and it can also be expanded with cheaper 48V third-party batteries. That setup can charge and discharge with the main unit instead of acting like a separate battery bank.
A regular cigarette-lighter port is very slow, around 120W, and can take close to 30 hours to fill a 3kWh unit. Faster 12V charging uses a special 12V-to-48V booster that feeds the solar input and can charge at about 500W, but it costs around $150.
One older Pecron unit reportedly had the AC charging brick fail after about a year, forcing use of the slow 12V port. Another comment says coverage is only for 12 months, so a repair can mean shipping a heavy unit back at your own expense.
It can handle much heavier loads than smaller Pecron units, including tools like a table saw. One owner reports about 37W of standby drain, low draws under 10W not showing on the meter, the last 10% dropping quickly, and AC charging peaking around 1670W instead of the claimed 1800W.
No built-in time-of-use or peak-shaving mode is mentioned. The workaround is a dummy power switch, but that can leave you without backup if the battery runs out.

Wattage of all the items you mentioned can vary tremendously based on size, needs, and varying efficiency levels. I know this is asking a lot. But if people could just check the wattage of their items, it is actually extremely easy to add up.

So far I have no real complaints. Probably charged and discharged about fifteen times so far. I bought this mostly for emergencies and haven't needed it yet. Things you might want to know: I believe this thing drains about 37watts an hour just being on. Not terrible but on the high side. Also, the watt meter doesn't register really low draw items. Like devices under 10 watts. I don't know why. My Ecoflow delta 2 is the same way. No idea why I'm stuck using a $10 Amazon watt meter on these expensive devices, but that's just the way it is. Also,It starts to burn battery power really quickly on the last ten percent. First 10% lasts a long time. But final 10 go very fast. Lastly it supposedly AC charges at up to 1800 watts. Mine max peaks around 1670. Usually at 1650. I haven't messed with the solar charging other then to verify it works, since I generally charge my power stations off a generator.
Other than a few small gripes, it's been fine...

I'm sorry no.
my 700w microwave vs your 1200w microwave have totally different power drains. this holds true for all sorts of electronic items.
Self educate and know what your items draw and don't rely on pointless regulations.
I did decide that I'll use this as my starting point, to get some more knowledge and to do some tests, then this will become my pickup truck travel kit. THanks for what you provided here.
However, the set I got 100% can be expanded with their branded batteries. It uses the B2 battery. I went with the Oupes Mega 2. They had sent me a "forgotten cart coupon" of 5% so I got a great deal I think.

One might ask WHY you might want to do this given the capacity of the power station. If you have enough solar connected to the power station, you can charge an EV for far more than the 3kWh capacity of the power station in a day. Given a sunny day and sufficient solar input on the unit. This unit maxes out at 1600W solar input, so if you over-panel like crazy you could get (in theory) 6hr*1.6kW= 9.6kWh in a day in addition to the 3kWh battery. On my little VW e-Golf, that would take me 50.4 miles (4mi/kWh / 12.6kWh)! The Teslas I've seen only get ~3mi/kWh or so, so 37.8mi for a Tesla.
Note, the figures above are assuming zero losses due to inefficiencies, which is unrealistic. It is also unrealistic to assume that every day will be sunny, with 6 hours of shade free sun on a very over-paneled solar array (so it maxes out the input on the power station almost the whole day). I do think realistically you might get 20mi/day with slight over-panelling.
Hope this helps someone. Please do your own research regarding neutral bonding plugs (do not use when the power station is plugged into grid power, for example). We

Is it possible to charge an EV with a portable power station? Yes, a large power station (Ecoflow Delta 3 Ultra / Pro 3, Pecron F3000 / E3600, Anker F3800) can charge 5-10 miles of range for a small EV.
Is it practical to charge an EV with a portable power station using solar? The typical American travels 42 miles per day, which might take 15-20 kWh total daily energy production and a 5+ kW array. This is well beyond the "portable" category and pushing beyond feasiblty "transportable": many hundreds of pounds of equipment and many thousands of dollars. This is where a dedicated setup, either DIY or something larger like Anker E10 and a fixed solar array on ground mount or installed on the roof of the home is going to be a much better fit.
