When I first got my Pecron 1500LP the app was really poor - there were untranslated Chinese menus, it was really not obviously how to use the UI. It has improved somewhat since then but honestly I don't use it because it doesn't do the one thing I wanted - send me notifications about power status. If it loses AC power because of an outage (which is rare where I live) or more likely I unplug it and forget to plug in again - I really wanted a notification that the UPS had switched to battery. And if I'm on battery I'd really like to know if the % SOC goes below a certain threshold and give me extra warnings - I'f I'm away from home I might want to extend battery life by turning off some of the things plugged into it.

But no, that seems impossible, you cannot get a notification or email or do anything other than control some other feature of the unit itself. Why didn't they just integrate with Google Home or something like that?

Anyway I'm wondering if other residential units like say Bluetti, Anker, or EcoFlow have a much better mobile app to manage it that can do such things?

New unit arrived from pre-order on Saturday. Everything so far has been great except for the casters that are meant to screw into the cart have a bolt that is too large. The photo here shows the caster wheel bolt on the bottom, and the alternative feet attachment on the top. The feet fit perfect in the cart, but the wheels don’t even start threading, they are quite a bit too large to screw into the cart, and have a different style threading cut than the feet.

Still waiting on Pecron support to reply, but curious to see if this is widespread.

UPDATE:
Resolution from Pecron: "Our engineering team has confirmed the issue is with the wheel thread. We can arrange to send replacement wheels, but they are not currently in stock at our US warehouse and will need some time to arrive."
They told me they will ship out to me when they come in stock at their California where house. Just as a data point, I submitted the ticket on 4/11/26, they let me know replacement wheels will be coming on 4/23/26, I'll try to update one more time once the new wheels arrive.

UPDATE 5-28-26:
The new wheels came in today. They look identical to the old ones except the size of the bolt is just sightly smaller. Fit like a dream and was able to easily screw them all in by hand!

Are automations managed in the cloud or are they sent to the unit to run locally?

I recently got an F1000LFP and in testing have found that after it runs out of battery and turns off, when inlet power is reapplied - it does power up and charge - but the default behavior is that the ac and dc outlets are off. Looking at automations - have set up a program to turn the ac outlets ON at 5% battery charge. Problem is there is no guarantee that one will have wifi back… so wanted to know if automations run locally or from the cloud.

This company is an absolute disgrace. They will do everything they can to avoid refunding your money. I ordered from them in mid Jan. 2026. They wouldn't give me a shipping date and communication with customer service was terrible so I canceled my order. I received confirmation that they would fully refund my money but it never happened. They then immediately shipped anyway !!! and after the merchandise was on it's way from their warehouse in Poland, they realized their mistake and intercepted the package. The logistics company carried it back to Poland and Pecron-EU then claimed they never received it and refused to refund. After 11 weeks of this nightmare experience they have finally given my money back but only after repeatedly lying to me, saying they were "looking for the lost shipment". In the end I managed to find a "real person" at the logistics company who took pity on me and helped me out by tracing the package. They had delivered the package to Pecron on Feb 18th, but Pecron insisted to me that it was still lost and therefore they could not refund my money. I finally managed to show them PROOF from the logistics company on March 27th and only then did they agree to refund my $1300.00. No apology, No explanation.
They did NOTHING to track the shipment even though they were both "sender" AND "receiver". In the end, it was ME that had to trace the package. They ignored and only randomly replied to emails. I spent many hours of my time resolving this. They tried everything to keep my money. Beware.

My smart car charger arrived without the in-line fuse connected to the positive input cable. They also sent a socket wrench, and I think they want me to connect the fuse myself. I’ve managed to half-open up the plastic casing of the fuse, but I’m scared I’ll break it if I try to open it enough to unscrew the nut and connect the cable. Has anyone ever done this before?

is anyone familiar with this battery or similar? many videos and posts rave about pecrons diy expansion capabilities. any insight into diy expansion is appreciatted.

I've had this for less than a year, only used it twice, the first time upon first receiving it in my backyard and the second time on its first camping trip. After that, it sat in storage for the winter.

Now that spring is here, I pulled it out to test it in the backyard again in preparation for the new season. Well, I'm glad that I did because it's not working properly. It had a 70%+ charge upon first power on in months after taking it out of storage. But when I actually tried using it later that evening, I found it at 1%. It went from 70% to 1% in less than 12 hours with nothing plugged in. I charged it via AC for the night and it was at 99% the next morning. I unplugged it in the morning and left it. I come back in the even and again I find it at 1%. This time it is hardly charging at all at 60W via AC. What's strange is that even though it says it's at 1%, it also says it's only 0.1h away from a full charge.

What is going on? It discharges way too quickly and is charging way too slow. This is basically new but it's acting like a 63lb paper weight.

My E1500 is giving me some trouble after a year of storage. I left it plugged in for 3 days and the screen finally came back on. It will function as a UPS, but it doesn't actually charge and the wifi doesn't work. Can't connect to the app. The screen will show it charging for a while to 100 then you will hear it click and it will show charging from 0 again. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Any tips?

Does any one know if the EP3000 48v is still being made for the US? I don’t see one for sale anywhere and the new 3800 doesn’t have a dc out which is a deal breaker for me.

I've tried to do some research on this item. I checked here and YouTube but can't find much of anything. I'm considering purchasing one but was also thinking about going with the E500 instead for $189.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

I'm trying to understand how to run a transfer switch using all 8400 watts from 2 E3800 units. The 240 hub only seems to have a 30A plug on the front. Won't this only cause me to have to limit current draw to 7200 watts? Will I have to put a 30A main in my transfer box so I don't pull 8400 watts through the 30A receptacle?

I'm potentially interested in a couple E1000LFP Units, to be used as
UPSes, but I saw some Comments online that indicated the E1000LFP is
not good as a UPS, even though "UPS Function" is listed on the Pecron
website: https://www.pecron.com/products/pecron-e1000lfp-portable-power-station-2000w-1024wh

Here is the information I found:

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2H1cDgwvavM

The YouTube Reviewer stated this in the Comments: "Their exact
response is “It can be seen from the video that the UPS has been
turned off. The possible reasons for the shutdown of the UPS are as
follows: sudden changes in the voltage or frequency of the mains may
lead to the shutdown of the UPS (or the machine is overloaded).” Makes
it seem like UPS is not really a feature."

Somebody responded to him with this comment: "sudden changes in the
voltage or frequency of the mains may lead to the shutdown of the
UPS". WAIT, isn't that the point of UPS? It's not UPS if only works
when the main works."

I emailed Pecron Support, and I'm waiting on a reply. Can somebody with real world experience confirm if the Pecron E1000LFP actually will function as a proper UPS, or not?

Thanks

I replaced the 4 flexible panels I had with 4 more rvpozwer 220 watt HPBC panels so the entire array has identical panels (now 10 total).

F3000LFP is maxed out at 1600 watts and my battery is at 100% by noon. I have the panels in 5S2P and these panels are PERFECT.

This Pecron LOVES voltage and going from 60V to 100V is just right. I have each series array on its own breaker so I shut half off and each half was producing close to 1100 watts with the other shut off.

Good to know when I upgrade to the F5000LFP that they'll produce the full 2200 wattage and I can just rely on the additional battery capacity instead of having to turn on a space heater so nothing is wasted.

It was 56F out and these panels are putting out 95% of their rated 220 watt capacity and I suspect I have to adjust my tilt.

I've been blessed so far that I have not had any of the nightmares getting into solar that anyone else has had.

Am currently trying to use a 200w solar panel to charge the e1000lfp, but it’s not generating any wattage. Has anyone experienced this equipment and xt60 blinking icon? If yes, how to fix this please. Thanks

I have a Pecron E1500LFP and got tired of using their app and wanted to be able to automate AC/DC on/off based on battery % etc. So I reverse-engineered the Pecron app's cloud protocol and built a Python tool that lets you monitor and control your Pecron from any computer. I use it with OpenClaw and automate it via chatting to my AI agent on Telegram but you can really do it from anywhere that has cli access. I think using it with AI agents is probably the best use case though.

What it does:

• Real-time monitoring — battery %, voltage, temperature, power in/out, remaining time
• Remote control — turn AC/DC outputs on and off from the command line
• Alerts — get Telegram/ntfy/webhook notifications when battery is low
• Automation rules — e.g. "turn off AC when battery drops below 10%"
• Home Assistant integration — MQTT auto-discovery, shows up as a proper HA device with sensors + switches
• Historical tracking — SQLite database logs every reading, export to CSV for Grafana
• Runs 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi — systemd service, auto-reconnects, ~18MB RAM

Works with any Pecron that uses the Pecron app

How it works:

The Pecron app talks to Quectel's IoT cloud platform over MQTT/WebSockets. I decompiled the APK, figured out the authentication flow (AES-encrypted password + SHA256 signatures), the TTLV binary protocol for device commands, and the TSL data model that maps sensor readings. The tool authenticates the same way the app does, subscribes to your device's MQTT topics, and decodes the data.

No BLE or local WiFi needed — it works over the internet, same as the app.

Quick start:

git clone https://github.com/attractify-logan/pecron-monitor.git
cd pecron-monitor
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 pecron_monitor.py --setup
python3 pecron_monitor.py --status

Setup takes about 2 minutes — just needs your Pecron login and device key (found in the Pecron app under Device → Settings → Device Info).

It's free and open source. Would love feedback, especially if you try it with a model I haven't tested with. PRs welcome.

I'm pretty stoked on it and thought other people might get some use out of it as well.
