At a Glance

This comparison targets buyers shopping for a high-capacity LFP power station for home backup or off-grid use. Both units deliver 3600W of running power and passed 47 out of 53 device compatibility tests, so everyday coverage is identical.

The Yeti Pro 4000 edges ahead with a larger 3993.6 Wh battery, roughly 30% more stored energy than the Pecron E3600LFP's 3072 Wh pack. It also offers 4000 rated cycles versus 3500, translating to a longer overall service life.

On the other hand, the Pecron is substantially lighter at 79.4 lbs compared to 115.7 lbs, charges far faster via solar (5.5 hours vs. 14.3 hours at max input), and includes 20 ms UPS functionality that the Yeti lacks. The tradeoff comes down to raw capacity and longevity versus portability and faster solar turnaround.
