Spec by spec

A green arrow marks the better figure on each row. Rows where only one unit publishes a number are shown without a winner rather than guessed.

Metric	F3000	E3600LFP	What it means
Capacity	3,072 Wh	3,072 Wh	How much energy the unit stores. Sets how long everything else can run.
Continuous AC output	3,600 W	3,600 W	The largest load the inverter will run continuously, not counting surge.
Weight lower is better	91.5 lb	79.0 lb	The spec buyers most often regret ignoring.
List price lower is better	$1,400	$999	Vendor list price at the time of collection; street prices move.
