play00:01

watching my power station reviews for a

play00:03

while now you probably already know that

play00:05

I been a pretty strong fan of the pekron

play00:08

eer power stations having reviewed the

play00:10

uh e2000 lfp the e600 lfp recently uh

play00:15

the newly released e1500 lfp which

play00:18

brought some new and much appreciated

play00:20

functionality to that uh pekron lineup

play00:22

which was already packing a ton of value

play00:24

in terms of what you get for the money

play00:26

but today we've got something brand new

play00:27

from pekron that I think a lot of people

play00:29

are going to like this is the new E300

play00:31

lfp it's the newest and smallest member

play00:34

of the pekron E Series and as a fun

play00:37

bonus pekron has actually also very

play00:40

generously offered to do a giveaway

play00:42

contest on this video where we'll be

play00:44

giving away one of these e300s to a

play00:47

lucky winner so be sure to watch until

play00:49

the very end to find out how to enter

play00:50

for your chance to win this guy well not

play00:52

this one but a new one shipped direct to

play00:55

you from pekron all right let's Jump

play00:56

Right In this new E300 lfp does compete

play00:59

Direct ly with things like the

play01:00

entry-level uh blue edti e3a and the

play01:03

ecoflow river 2 power stations U but at

play01:06

a rated 288 wat hours it's got more

play01:08

capacity than the e3a which only has two

play01:12

268 and uh it's got more capacity than

play01:14

the river 2 that has 256 wat hours and

play01:17

the 600 watt pure sine wave inverter on

play01:20

this guy has double the power output of

play01:22

that River too and for less money but

play01:24

we'll talk a little bit more about that

play01:26

in a bit all right before we get into

play01:28

the other details and find out how this

play01:30

thing performs let's jump back in time a

play01:31

few weeks and see what it comes with in

play01:33

the

play01:39

Box all right warranty card so it looks

play01:42

like as long as you register it you do

play01:43

get a 2-year warranty little user

play01:48

guide all right that is all that's in

play01:51

the

play01:54

box that is a cute little

play01:56

guy there's a uh little pouch P attached

play02:00

back here see we get in the pouch right

play02:02

standard AC charging cable and a car

play02:05

charging cable with a

play02:07

dc5521 connector on it so

play02:11

no uh solar cable all right so we have

play02:16

got just a quick look this thing is this

play02:19

thing is adorable it's not stupid heavy

play02:21

either so it's got wireless charging on

play02:24

top it's got um ventilation fans on the

play02:28

side here one is probably an intake one

play02:30

is an an outake is that right on this

play02:33

side we've got a light there we

play02:38

go typical light actually useful good on

play02:41

a picnic table if you're out camping and

play02:44

uh let's see there's the AC charge port

play02:47

and there is the

play02:49

dc5521 DC charge port and it says 12 to

play02:54

28 volts DC 100 W Max so on something

play02:58

with this kind of capacity which which

play02:59

is 288 W hours uh with a 100 watt solar

play03:04

panel you should be able to get about

play03:05

400 WS of charged capacity in a full day

play03:09

of uh decent Sun so really you should be

play03:12

able as long as you got decent Sun

play03:13

conditions you should be able to fully

play03:14

charge this thing with 100 wat solar

play03:16

panel in I don't know maybe five 6 hours

play03:19

tops and uh we'll test that and let's

play03:22

see up front standard uh 12vt 10 amp car

play03:27

charge socket interestingly it's got a

play03:30

24v uh 5 aamp

play03:32

dc5525 port and then a 12vt 5 amp

play03:36

accessory Port right there you got a uh

play03:40

1 PD 100 looks like in and out so I have

play03:43

to test that but it looks like you could

play03:44

charge this through the PD 100 USB port

play03:47

as well and then you've got uh two 18w

play03:49

quick charge type a USB ports and and a

play03:52

couple of um this says 600 watts Max so

play03:57

600 watt AC inverter and uh we'll get

play04:00

into all the specs all right I think

play04:01

that's about all we can do for now let's

play04:03

jump forward in time and go do some

play04:05

testing on this thing find out if it's

play04:07

worth the very modest price tag that it

play04:09

has let's do a DC discharge test on this

play04:12

I've got it fully charged up and we're

play04:14

going to find out uh I think it's 288

play04:16

wat hours rated but we know we're not

play04:18

going to get all of that uh or at least

play04:20

we typically don't get all of that let's

play04:22

find out how much we can get through the

play04:23

DC Port now I've got this connected to

play04:25

the 24volt port all right let me dial

play04:27

this up and uh see what we can get

play04:32

all right so I got about 130 Watts we're

play04:33

going to let this thing go until the

play04:35

battery uh the E300 BMS shuts us down

play04:39

and uh find out how many wat hours we

play04:41

actually accumulated here we are ticking

play04:42

the wat hours up slowly but surely and

play04:45

we'll find out what the usable capacity

play04:47

out of the DC ports is on this E300 lfp

play04:51

all right looks like our test is done we

play04:53

have completely stopped I don't think we

play04:56

can get anything else out of this let's

play04:58

see what it comes up 0% okay so we're

play05:01

registered

play05:03

238.9 6 wat hourss that's out of a rated

play05:05

288 wat hours so that would be uh about

play05:09

82 and 1.5% of rated capacity is what we

play05:12

can actually get out of the uh DC

play05:15

outputs on this E300 and 82.5% is Right

play05:18

Square in the middle of average in terms

play05:21

of all the power stations that I have

play05:23

tested all right let's get this thing

play05:24

charged back up and then we'll run an AC

play05:26

discharge capacity test and see how that

play05:28

goes got the 300 all powered up should

play05:31

be 100% turn the AC inverter on let's do

play05:34

a usable capacity test out of that AC

play05:37

inverter and uh we're going to run this

play05:39

till it shuts us

play05:41

down and see how we do go ahead and

play05:44

switch that over let's see if we can

play05:47

see 119.4 volts so very good voltage

play05:51

number out of this tiny little guy all

play05:53

right we'll switch it back over to wat

play05:55

hours and we'll let that count up our AC

play05:58

discharge test is done let's find out

play06:00

how many usable wat hours we got through

play06:02

the AC

play06:04

inverter out of a rated 288 wat hours we

play06:09

got

play06:10

240 W hours so that is a uh

play06:15

83% of rated capacity which is just a

play06:19

solid middle-of the road average number

play06:22

so not a bad number not a standout

play06:25

number but certainly not a bad number so

play06:28

240 usable wat hour through the AC

play06:30

inverter all right let's do some load

play06:32

testing on this little E300 now despite

play06:34

the name E300 it actually has a 600 wat

play06:37

AC inverter so let's see if we can get

play06:39

this thing really close to maybe

play06:41

slightly above or slightly below that

play06:42

600 watt threshold through the AC

play06:44

inverter and find out if it can run that

play06:47

for a full 10 minutes so let's check it

play06:49

out here turning on the AC

play06:53

inverter heard the fans kick on for just

play06:56

a moment I've already got an oil heater

play06:57

load connected to it and it's pulling a

play06:59

609 Watts so let's start the timer and

play07:02

see if it'll run for 10

play07:21

minutes all

play07:24

right you hear the fans are quite a bit

play07:26

louder than they were when we started I

play07:28

think we we peaked if you were watching

play07:30

the meter here we peaked at about I

play07:32

think just below 58 DB at maximum volume

play07:34

which is basically where we are right

play07:37

now um that's uh I'd say it's fairly

play07:41

average uh in terms of uh full fan speed

play07:44

for an AC inverter in this capacity

play07:46

class yeah definitely did pass the 600 W

play07:50

AC inverter load test if you want to see

play07:52

what other kinds of things that you

play07:53

could run with this device being a 600

play07:56

wat uh AC inverter output and a 288 W

play08:01

rated battery capacity I'll put a link

play08:03

below in the description for the video

play08:05

for you so you can go check out a Google

play08:06

spreadsheet you can download that and

play08:08

then you can key in that 288 wat hours

play08:11

and the 600 watt AC inverter and it'll

play08:13

tell you the typical types of things

play08:16

that you can run with it and for how

play08:17

long would you be able to run those

play08:19

things so if you're interested in that

play08:21

go check that out in the description

play08:22

below but yeah so far this thing is

play08:24

performing quite well for a little tiny

play08:26

unit in this capacity class all right

play08:28

let's get the solar testing started on

play08:30

this now I think as I mentioned before

play08:32

it'll take a maximum of 100 Watts

play08:35

through this little dc5521 port on the

play08:38

side and uh the voltage Max which is

play08:41

always important to know is between 12

play08:43

and only 28 volts so whatever

play08:45

combination of panels you connect to

play08:47

this you do not want it to Output more

play08:49

than 28 volts of voltage open circuit or

play08:53

you will probably damage the charge

play08:54

controller so what I'm going to do is

play08:56

turn uh the solar panels on here I've

play08:59

already checked my solar input I've

play09:01

actually connected a 200 wat panel that

play09:04

is outputting about 20 volts uh it will

play09:07

be outputting a little more current so

play09:09

I'm going to be capped it's still going

play09:10

to be capped at 100 Watts uh so I've

play09:12

basically over panel this but that's

play09:15

safe to do because I am under that 20 uh

play09:19

28 volt

play09:20

maximum um spec so I'm going to go ahead

play09:24

and turn this heat Source on actually I

play09:27

think I had it on let me go and turn the

play09:28

AC inverter back

play09:31

on and this is going to pull basically

play09:34

200 Watts continuous and run this all

play09:36

the way down and then we're going to

play09:38

find out in the morning when we come

play09:39

back if we have a little bit of sun uh

play09:42

if this will resume Char charging itself

play09:44

via solar automatically in the morning

play09:47

without me having to press any buttons

play09:49

to get it to do that because that's what

play09:50

we would like to see not all power

play09:52

stations will do that some will require

play09:54

you to unplug and replug the solar

play09:56

connection maybe a power cycle the unit

play09:59

or something like that that's kind of an

play10:01

inconvenience not typically a deal

play10:03

breaker but I'd prefer not to have to do

play10:05

that so we'll see if this little E300

play10:07

lfp lets us autor resume solar charging

play10:10

in the morning after it's been shut down

play10:12

so we'll see you in the morning and

play10:13

we'll find out what the situation

play10:15

[Music]

play10:22

is it is actually about 11 a.m. but we

play10:25

do have a little bit of Sun out there

play10:27

for a change man we've had a long string

play10:30

of very cloudy overcast days here in

play10:32

Ohio uh but we are getting actually 102

play10:35

Watts so we're maxing this thing out

play10:37

with that over paneled uh 200 watt uh

play10:40

panel that I have connected and we're

play10:42

getting that full 100 Watts that this

play10:43

thing can take and actually a couple

play10:45

over that but we are currently at 81% it

play10:48

was fully depleted overnight and it did

play10:51

resume charging all by itself I didn't

play10:53

have to press any buttons or unplug

play10:55

replug anything it uh it just worked so

play10:58

that's exactly what you you want to see

play11:00

uh with the E300 and by the way with

play11:02

that 100 watt input because this is only

play11:05

a 288w hour rated battery capacity you

play11:09

can uh easily charge this in well under

play11:13

a full day of full sun or a full day of

play11:17

mixed sun and clouds uh should be easily

play11:20

able to fully recharge this with just a

play11:22

100 wat solar panel so pretty happy with

play11:26

how this uh this little guy is actually

play11:28

performing with solar all right let's do

play11:30

a ups test on this E300 um I've got the

play11:34

laptop with the battery removed plugged

play11:36

in here to the AC inverter got the AC

play11:38

inverter on and we're running some disc

play11:41

disc benchmarking actually we will as

play11:43

soon as I turn it on now we're running

play11:45

some disc

play11:47

benchmarking you can see my disc

play11:49

activity just shot up just so you can

play11:51

see I've got grid power coming in from

play11:52

the side on the AC input to the E300 and

play11:56

we have AC power going out the front to

play11:58

the laptop so I'm going to simulate the

play11:59

power outage by pulling the grid power

play12:01

and if we were to if we were to to take

play12:03

a look here that little tiny icon just

play12:05

to the upper right of the state of

play12:07

charge meter there it says UPS it's very

play12:10

small try to zoom in there and give you

play12:11

a look at it but it does say that we are

play12:14

uh in UPS mode so it detects that a load

play12:16

is being um uh served here off the AC

play12:19

inverter and that we also have AC input

play12:22

so let's just see if I get a uh a fast

play12:24

enough switch over to battery power cuz

play12:27

right now we should be passing through

play12:29

AC power which is what UPS mode is uh

play12:33

and hopefully we will not disrupt our

play12:36

laptop so if we see any flickers or shut

play12:38

down we'll know that it wasn't fast

play12:40

enough so let's uh simulate the power

play12:42

outage right now by pulling the AC input

play12:45

uh power cord here we go one two

play12:48

3 right no hiccups on the laptop and

play12:52

just to show you there's no trickery

play12:54

I'll try to unplug and replug this as

play12:55

quick as I

play12:57

can that was not very quick but you can

play12:59

see the laptop went out

play13:01

immediately all right so yeah UPS mode

play13:04

on this tiny little E300 lfp confirmed

play13:08

all right let's find out how clean the

play13:09

AC output is on this little E300 lfp and

play13:13

we're going to use my old guitar amp so

play13:15

if you have a use case where you guys

play13:17

want to power a guitar amp remotely or a

play13:20

PA system and you don't want to get Buzz

play13:22

uh coming out of that AC power supply uh

play13:25

we're going to find out if this is

play13:27

suitable for that particular application

play13:28

so I've got my old guitar amp here I'll

play13:31

plug this into grid power and we are

play13:33

going to give it a test to see how it

play13:35

sounds on grid power as a baseline so

play13:38

let me put my mic in front of

play13:44

that a little bit of

play13:47

hum now let's see how it performs when

play13:50

we plug it into the E300 all right same

play13:57

test

play14:00

all right comparatively that that is

play14:02

fairly clean I wouldn't give it a 100%

play14:04

pass I'd give it about a 90% pass so it

play14:07

there is a slightly uh additional Buzz

play14:10

there's a slight additional Buzz over

play14:12

what you get from grid power but it's

play14:13

not terribly intrusive at least on this

play14:16

particular amp and I think actually if

play14:17

you had an amp with noise suppression

play14:20

built in like most of the fender rumbles

play14:23

for example um those probably aren't

play14:25

going to you're not going to hear any

play14:26

kind of extra noise out of something

play14:28

like that uh but uh so yeah just be

play14:31

aware very slight bit of extra noise

play14:34

coming through the E300 when you're uh

play14:36

powering an AC load especially if you're

play14:37

doing a PA system or a guitar amp so

play14:40

like its larger siblings it's very solid

play14:42

performance out of this E300 lfp during

play14:45

testing and by the way also like that

play14:47

recently released e1500 this E300 does

play14:51

also support uh remote app control and

play14:53

configuration from the Perron mobile app

play14:56

so that gives you control over things

play14:57

like the AC and DC outputs you can uh

play15:00

independently set the auto shutdown

play15:02

timeouts and charge rate U you can also

play15:05

just sort of override all that by

play15:06

toggling the Eco Mode on and that will

play15:08

basically Set uh the timeouts to 2 hours

play15:11

and the charge rate to 50% so you're

play15:13

basically putting less stress on the

play15:15

battery cells which is nice uh but

play15:17

basically it allows you to control all

play15:18

the usual things you'd like to be able

play15:20

to remotely control from your phone uh

play15:22

and you probably do want to leave the

play15:24

auto shutdown timeout turned on because

play15:26

I did also test the no Lo draw on this

play15:28

a300 and because of that 600 watt

play15:30

inverter is a pretty large inverter in

play15:33

comparison to that 288 rated wat hour

play15:35

capacity it'll consume about 3% of the

play15:38

unit's capacity per hour all by itself

play15:41

so if you were to turn off that auto

play15:44

shutdown it'll run itself to 0% state of

play15:47

charge in about a day and a half if you

play15:48

forget to turn that AC inverter off so

play15:50

you probably want to leave that on um

play15:52

and speaking of the inverter I will also

play15:54

say that this is probably not the

play15:55

quietest unit that I have tested as you

play15:57

saw it produced uh just under 60 DB

play15:59

under maximum load in the test Clips um

play16:02

and uh you know even if you just leave

play16:04

the inverter on with no load for more

play16:05

than just a few minutes it will emit a

play16:07

low volume white noise so actually check

play16:10

it out here's a quick

play16:13

example so definitely not a bothersome

play16:16

sound but also definitely not silent and

play16:17

to be perfectly Fair the similarly

play16:20

speced bluetti e3a actually clocked in a

play16:23

whopping 75 DB under Max load so by

play16:26

comparison the E300 is actually

play16:29

noticeably quieter still than its direct

play16:31

competitors and I can honestly say that

play16:33

this E300 has a better build quality as

play16:35

well which is to say that it's built

play16:37

pretty much just like that e1500 only

play16:39

quite a bit smaller now in terms of

play16:41

pricing the E300 does have a list price

play16:43

of $199 and that even there makes it one

play16:46

of the more affordable options that

play16:47

you're going to find and uh for a

play16:49

limited time anyway pekron has provided

play16:51

me a discount code that you can use that

play16:53

will get that price down to just $159

play16:56

which is a kind of a ridiculously good

play16:57

deal for a little power station like

play17:00

this now in terms of availability this

play17:02

E300 lfp is just now being released on

play17:04

perron's website and in about a week or

play17:07

so you should be able to get it on

play17:08

Amazon as well and I'll put a product

play17:10

Link in the description below for you uh

play17:12

for perron's website and I'll add one

play17:14

for Amazon just as soon as that uh that

play17:16

listing is active there so overall I

play17:18

would say that I continue to be very

play17:20

impressed with these new power stations

play17:22

uh from pekron and I can honestly say

play17:24

that this E300 lfp I would say ranks as

play17:27

the best power station that I've tested

play17:29

today in that sub 300w hour class of uh

play17:33

capacity range it's just a very solid

play17:35

affordable unit all right so let's uh

play17:38

talk real quickly about how you can

play17:39

enter the contest for a chance to win
