Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus Portable Power Station 5000Wh LiFePO4 7200W 120/240V

The Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus is a flagship portable power station engineered for homeowners who need serious whole-home backup capability in a surprisingly compact and mobile package. Packing 5,040Wh of automotive-grade LiFePO4 battery capacity into a body comparable in size to a typical 3kWh unit, it delivers 7,200W of rated AC output with a 14,400W surge peak, covering dual-voltage 120V and 240V loads including central air conditioning, water heaters, well pumps, dryers, and virtually any major home appliance. Starting capacity is expandable up to 60kWh through additional Battery Pack 5000 Plus units, providing anywhere from one day to 13 days or more of backup power depending on household load, and true 0ms UPS switching ensures that computers, medical devices, and critical appliances stay running without any flicker or interruption the moment grid power cuts out.

Solar recharging accepts up to 4,000W of input from both high-voltage and low-voltage solar panels, enabling a full recharge in approximately 1.7 hours via Smart Transfer Switch charging, and eight total recharging methods including AC wall power, solar, car, and generator provide maximum flexibility across any scenario. The ChargeShield 2.0 system combines 62 BMS protection algorithms with dual cell protection and AI variable charging speed for safer, more reliable charging that extends long-term battery health, and the ceramic battery cells are engineered to perform reliably from negative 4 degrees Fahrenheit up to 302 degrees Fahrenheit. Operating at approximately 30 decibels in quiet mode, about as loud as a library, it runs indoors day and night without disturbing sleep or daily activities, a significant advantage over gas generators.

Available in multiple configurations from the basic unit-only option to the Whole-Home Backup Kit pairing two units with a Smart Transfer Switch and expansion batteries for up to 20kWh of combined capacity, the Explorer 5000 Plus scales to match virtually any home backup requirement. Pairing with Jackery’s 60A Smart Transfer Switch enables seamless protection of up to 12 circuits at 120V or 6 circuits at 240V without a generator transfer setup. The port layout covers four standard 120V outlets, NEMA L14-30R and NEMA 14-50 240V outlets, USB-C, USB-A, and a cigarette lighter port for comprehensive device connectivity, and the Jackery app enables smart scheduling for off-peak charging and peak-time discharging to reduce electricity costs.
