    Nice comparison! &nbsp;On the Bluetti, if you press both the AC and DC buttons simultaneously for a couple of seconds, you can change 7 settings, such as charging speed, power lifting, eco mode for AC and DC, and being able to turn both the bluetooth and wi-fi on and off which can be useful if you don&apos;t have your phone with the app handy.

    Great video. I&apos;m sorry you had to lug all these around 😄 but really appreciate how much effort obviously went into making this video. I&apos;ve been browsing these batteries lately so this was super helpful.

    I went for the Bluetti Elite 300 mainly for the size but also for the XT90 12v 30amp output, i power my campervans 12v system. I love the look and form factor of the 300 &nbsp;and easily moved around if I need it in the house if we have a power cut. Great video 👍

    I went with the Anker F3000 and even though the price tag is heavy, it is absolutely worth the money! I have a gas powered generator for our travel trailer but certain shorter trips that don&apos;t have full hookups, I&apos;d like to have an easier option without having to make sure I have enough gas on hand. I&apos;ve only used this once on a camping trip since I just bought it a month ago since the posting of this comment but it worked tremendously. I kept the 400W solar panel connected to it and yes over time is slowly lost power but at a low gradual pace. Perfect for running the fridge, lights and water pump. The app is very nice and user friendly. I can pretty much do everything through the app without have to touch the power station. It is a heavy unit but the luggage style handle makes it super easy to move around. My family and I love it and look forward to using it more in real world applications.

    Well done, sir.

    Pecrons biggest downside is the AC idle draw being ~35w. &nbsp;It&apos;s fine if you need lots of power in chunks like for powertools that you use for a while and can then turn off the power; but for stuff that runs intermittently over a long duration like a fridge, it will consume 0.84kw every day just to keep the inverter active on top of what the fridge is consuming. &nbsp; For comparison, the Bluetti is 15w (0.36kw/d) so effectively an extra 0.5kw of battery capacity compared to the Pecron from the lower self drain; &nbsp;and Jackery is even better at under 10w. &nbsp;IIRC the Anker is ~20w, and Ecoflow ~25w.

    Note on Pecron, the largest power station can be used chained with a second unit and output 240v with their 240v outlet adapter. My shed is powered with two pecron units, has constant solar input, and I can weld using 240v in a trailer park completely self sufficiently. I&apos;m not sure if the other brands have 240v output capabilities, but at the time of my purchase, Pecron was the only one. For offgrid home workshop use cases, I personally believe Pedron can not be beaten. ❤

    Thanks, the pecron is absolutely the best buy, placed order after seeing video, (yes through your more menu)
