PECRON · Mid-size
1.02 kWh of storage, 1.8 kW of continuous AC output, listed at $399. That works out to $0.39 per watt-hour and 35.3 watt-hours per pound. Spec figures below are taken from PECRON’s own product page; WattPicks editors are deep-use experience reviewers, not a pretend third-party lab for every SKU.

What this unit is for
LiFePO4 and high inverter output at value pricing — the challenger that competes on chemistry and watts rather than on ecosystem.
Best suited to: Value buyers who care about chemistry and output more than ecosystem. Less suited to: Buyers who need a mature app, dealer support or resale value.
Fridge for a day, camping for a weekend.
A tracked retailer link appears here only when we have a resolved offer for this model. We do not send readers to a manufacturer store page we cannot attribute.
Safety: lithium power stations store a lot of energy. Follow PECRON’s charge, ventilation, and storage instructions. WattPicks does not certify electrical installs.

The vendor rates it for 3,500 cycles with LiFePO4 chemistry. Runtime on a given day is capacity divided by load (with inverter losses) — see our guide on how long a power station lasts.
Yes — PECRON publishes a maximum solar input of 600 W. Ideal fill time is roughly capacity ÷ that input; real sun takes longer. See how long to charge with solar.
At the published list price it works out to $0.39 per watt-hour. Compare that figure on our cost-per-watt-hour ranking rather than price alone.
