Figures read F3000 first, E3600LFP second.

Which one suits what

One line per criterion, each with the numbers behind it. There is no overall winner: weigh the lines that matter for your list.

  • Longer runtime on the same load: a tie at 3,072 Wh.
  • Bigger loads at once: a tie at 3,600 W.
  • Motor and compressor starts: the Anker SOLIX F3000, with 7,200 W against 7,000 W for the E3600LFP. The surge rating covers the start of a fridge, pump or tool.
  • Carrying it: the Pecron E3600LFP, with 79.4 lb (36 kg) against 91.5 lb (41.5 kg) for the F3000. Lighter is easier to move.
