How to correctly cascade the Pecron E2000LFP to EB3000

[@mrkevin365]

In the menu change battery capacity from 1920 4992

I have a question… I have the same set up as you. Did your 4992w show up immediately when both units are connected/cascaded and the does the second battery need to be on or off. I have been told if not set up right it will ruin the battery. Help?

No, you have to manually change the setting. The user manual should explain the process but customer support is a great resource. They've helped me a great deal in the past

I charged my EB3000 to 100%, then the E2000LFP to 100%, unplugged the charger and connected the two batteries using the cascade cable. I turned on the E2000LFP, and it was reading 63% charged (even though I knew both batteries were charged to 100%, so I assumed that the display unit wasn't reading correctly. I adjusted the 004 setting back to 1920w and let it sit for an hour, then came back and adjusted the 004 setting back to 4992w, and the display was still reading 62%, which led to my frustration. With the following settings, fully charged E2000LFP fully charged EB3000 cascade cable plugged into E2 & E3 batteries 004 setting set to 4992 plugged A/C Charger into E2000LFP Even though both batteries were full, the slow trickle charge increased the battery percentage shown on the display unit. After about 45 minutes, it reached 100%, and the batteries were successfully cascaded with the green light showing on the EB3000. I don't think this section is in the manual, (but it should be)

Great video, thank you. My problem is that I cannot get my E2000 to charge up past 78%. The e3000 shows all charged. I disco'd the two units to do as you suggested, but it seems stuck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@BucksBe]

You might have the units cascaded incorrectly. What is the voltage showing? Really, @RamblinBobReviews has been great at helping to answer technical questions but I've found Pecron's email support to be a bit slow and cumbersome BUT they've always come through with solutions. I'd reach out to Bob to see if he has any ideas and contact Pecron and I' sure they will provide support. Best of luck to you!!

I got two of those battery's that's the way I did it.

My e2000 makes those same crazy noises as well I'm down in Houston riding out the hurricane. This is the first time I used it. Do u think that sound could be dangerous l?

[@BucksBe]

Mine made that noise and I ended up sending it back and it was replaced. It will make some minor noise but if it sounds like mine, yeah, I'd reach out to support and request a new one. It wasn't dangerous, voltage was normal, running at normal temps but the inverter kept making that clicking sound. You should be fine for the hurricane. Best of luck to you and yours!!

hi, how's this unit working since you bought it?

[@BucksBe]

I had a defective unit so I sent it back to Pecron a couple of times to get worked on then after 15 months of ownership and two failed repairs, they sent me a new model which is working flawlessly.

[@anthonyglaser929]

sounds like quite a hassle getting these two to work together.
