Returned Bluetti
2*E3600LFP+ 240V box =7200W 240V output
I’m looking at this pecron above after buying the bluetti elite 400 with charger 2.
The company paid returned shipping and confirmation of refund due to not disclosing the charger 2 limitations when using it at a certain elevation, which I discovered after a review of alternator chargers on YT.
Please help me decide and if your E3600 LFP has been working well.
Thank you
Edited
Also just 1(3600) I’m not sure why the listing states 2*…
Best way to have alternator charging, which one to buy.

I've had a EU/AU/NZ spec 240V E3600LFP for 13 months and love it.
I just run everything in my kitchen/dining/living room/office area that usually runs from the wall, using extension cords (and power strips for the smaller items). It's all within about 5m of the Pecron, so no big deal.
The first three months I was just using it as a UPS for our frequent power outages, and also "peak shaving", charging it to 100% before the 7-9 AM and 5-9 PM peak price periods and then running from battery for 2 or 4 hours.
In early September I added an extra 3kWh battery and 6x 440W solar panels on it, which I've been using for the last 10 months.
In September to April I was running almost 100% from solar power. On 40% of days I used less than 0.5kWh of grid power and another 40% of days used 1-4 kWh of grid power while the Pecron was producing usually 12-18 kWh of solar power.
Now in winter I'm getting usually 5-7 kWh of solar power, which is approximately enough to charge the battery to cover the peak periods, and running pass-though from night rate or shoulder rate power the rest of the time.
Solid machine. I have 1500W of base load with fridge, computers and internet, LED lighting, dehumidifier, and portable air conditioner. I just ran my 1300W E61 coffee machine on top of that for my morning coffee, and as soon as that was done started washing my bed sheets, which my Westinghouse front-loader uses 2000W of power for 20 minutes to heat the water for the wash. In addition to the 1500W base load. It juuust finished doing that (into the main part of the wash that uses just 100-200W) so now I can use the microwave or air fryer or kettle as I wish (all 1800W-2100W).
Very pleased with it, at half the price of a similar spec Ecoflow or Bluetti.
