At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers weighing two expandable LFP power stations for home backup and off-grid use. The Pecron E3600LFP delivers 3600W of running power with a 7000W surge, enough to handle motor-driven appliances that demand high startup current. Its 2400W solar input fills the 3072 Wh battery in roughly 5.5 hours, a major advantage for solar-dependent setups.
The Zendure SuperBase V4600 counters with a larger 4608 Wh capacity and a 1ms UPS transfer time, making it better suited for always-on server or networking equipment. It also pushes slightly more continuous watts at 3800W. However, its solar charge time stretches to 16.5 hours at a max 1500W input, and it weighs 121.3 lbs versus the Pecron's 79.4 lbs.
In device compatibility testing across 53 products, the Pecron powered 47 while the Zendure handled 43, giving the Pecron a clear edge in real-world versatility.
