At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers choosing between a mid-capacity portable unit and a high-capacity home backup station. The Pecron E3600LFP delivers 3600W of running power and 3072 Wh of stored energy, doubling the Yeti 1500X on both counts.
It also powered 47 out of 53 tested devices versus 43 for the Yeti, earning a score of 95 compared to 82.5. LFP chemistry gives the Pecron a 3,500-cycle lifespan, seven times the Yeti's 500-cycle rating, and its 20ms UPS function adds a layer of protection the Goal Zero unit lacks.
Solar input caps at 2400W on the E3600LFP, reaching full charge in roughly 5.5 hours. The tradeoff is weight: at 79.4 lbs, the Pecron is nearly 34 lbs heavier than the 45.6-lb Yeti 1500X, which matters if you move your station between campsites or rooms frequently.
