Pecron Europe just announced availability of the F1000 LFP model to the subscribers of their newsletter.
Unlike its larger sibling, the F3000 LFP, this unit cannot have its capacity expanded with additional batteries. But it compensates this with great capabilities and an attractive design at a quite affordable price. Including current discounts, the F1000 LFP starts at just €439. If you take into account that this battery offers 960 Wh (so nearly 1 kWh) and an inverter that outputs 1500 Watt, this is a steal.
The F1000 LFP comes with a plethora of ports:
Output
4 USB outputs (2 x USB-A, 2 x USB C)
12V/10A Car Socket
12V/10A DC Output
12V/5A DC5525 Output
AC output: 1500W
Input
AC input (1000 Watt)
XT60 Solar Input (600 Watt max input)
The F1000 LFP even comes with a UPS function, though their site currently does not state the exact switchover time needed.
All in all the F1000 LFP will make a great emergency backup or camping companion. Now we’ll just have to find out how it performs in real-life situations…
After making waves at CES 2025, the powerful new Bluetti Apex 300 is officially available for backing on Indiegogo. Designed for high-demand users who need serious off-grid or backup power, the Apex 300 packs impressive performance into a sleek, portable unit.
At its core is a massive 2764Wh LiFePO₄ battery, offering up to 6000 charge cycles before reaching 80% capacity—ensuring years of reliable use. With a maximum output of 3840 watts, it’s capable of powering everything from heavy-duty tools to essential home appliances with ease.
One standout feature is its UPS mode with 0 ms switchover, meaning your devices stay powered seamlessly during outages. Whether you’re prepping for emergencies, living off-grid, or just need reliable portable power, the Apex 300 delivers.
Early backers on Indiegogo can take advantage of exclusive launch pricing, making now the best time to secure this next-generation power station.
The BLUETTI EB3A is a small but highly capable portable power station that’s ideal for campers, weekend adventurers, and anyone looking for a reliable backup during power outages. Despite its compact size and affordable price point, it packs in features that are usually reserved for larger, more expensive models.
One of the EB3A’s standout strengths is its use of LiFePO₄ battery technology, which offers enhanced safety, longer lifespan (over 2,500 charge cycles), and better thermal stability than traditional lithium-ion. That means it runs cooler, lasts longer, and provides added peace of mind, especially in off-grid or emergency scenarios.
Another major selling point is the charging speed. BLUETTI equipped the EB3A with fast-charging capabilities that allow it to go from 0 to 80% in just about 30 minutes when plugged into a wall outlet. It can also handle dual input charging—solar and AC simultaneously—which is rare at this size.
In day-to-day use, the EB3A is refreshingly easy to manage. It’s lightweight at just over 4.5 kg, making it perfect for carrying around a campsite or tossing in a vehicle. It also connects to the BLUETTI app via Bluetooth, letting you monitor usage, control output, and view charging status remotely. That adds a layer of convenience not commonly found in entry-level models.
Here are the main specifications for quick reference:
Battery Capacity: 268Wh
Inverter Output: 600W (1,200W surge) pure sine wave
Battery Type: LiFePO₄ (2,500+ life cycles)
Weight: 10.14 lbs / 4.6 kg
Charging Time (AC): ~1 hour (fast charge mode)
Output Ports: 2× AC, 1× USB-C PD 100W, 2× USB-A, 1× car port, 2× DC5521, 1× wireless charging pad
Connectivity: Bluetooth app control
UPS Functionality: <20ms automatic switchover
As great as the EB3A is, it’s not without limitations. The most noticeable drawback is its fan noise, which can get fairly loud when charging or under heavy use. It’s also important to keep expectations realistic about power capacity. With 268Wh, this unit is best suited for running small devices like laptops, phones, LED lights, or routers. It’s not built to power high-wattage appliances for long periods. Additionally, while it offers a lot of value, solar panels are sold separately, and there’s no option to expand the battery with additional modules.
Overall, the BLUETTI EB3A is a very well-rounded portable power station that punches above its weight. It’s fast, smart, and built with durable battery chemistry that makes it a reliable choice for both outdoor use and emergency situations. If you’re looking for a compact, eco-friendly power source for small electronics, and you value features like app control and UPS protection, the EB3A is an excellent option in its class.
