The Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus is a home backup power station with a 5,040Wh LiFePO4 battery. It is rated for 7,200W of continuous output and 14,400W of surge at both 120V and 240V. Appliances plug straight into its outlets. It can also connect to the Jackery Smart Transfer Switch, so selected home circuits switch to battery power automatically when the grid goes down.
Capacity is expandable. Each Jackery Battery Pack 5000 Plus adds 5,040Wh, and one unit accepts up to five packs for 30,240Wh. Two units run together through the Smart Transfer Switch for 14,400W of output and up to 60kWh with ten battery packs. Runtime depends on what you power.
It recharges from a wall outlet, from solar panels or through the Smart Transfer Switch. It has no engine or exhaust, so it can run indoors. Built-in wheels and a pull handle make it easier to move around the house. The Jackery app lets you monitor usage and schedule charging and discharging.
