Handles Even the Big Appliances
Whole-Home Capable

Backup That Lasts for 13 Days
Expandable Capacity
5040Wh base capacity, expandable up to 60kWh — enough to keep a home running through an extended outage, not just overnight.
More Power From the Sun
SolarSaga 500X Included
Compatible with high- and low-voltage solar panels, recharging in about 2 hours with up to 4000W of input. Included SolarSaga 500X bifacial panels deliver 500W (STC) / 545W (bifacial boost) each, IP68-rated and built for home or RV use.
Protect Your Essential Circuits Smartly
Smart Transfer Switch
Pair with the Jackery 60A Smart Transfer Switch (included in Complete and Flagship kits) to power up to 12 circuits at 120V or 6 circuits at 240V, with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth monitoring.
Quieter Than Gas Generators
~30dB Operation
Runs at roughly 30dB — about as quiet as a library — so it can operate indoors or overnight without disturbing the household.
Invest in Saving Up to $11,800
Smart Charging Schedules
Charge during off-peak hours from the included solar array and draw on stored power when utility rates are highest.
11 Years of Reliable Power
ChargeShield 2.0
Less than $1 a day for up to 11 years of peace of mind. ChargeShield™ 2.0 combines 62 BMS protection algorithms, dual cell protection, and AI variable charging speed on LiFePO₄ cells rated to 4,000 cycles — tested to 302°F with strong cold performance to -4°F.
Outages Won't Interrupt a Thing
True 0ms UPS
True 0ms online UPS switching (under 20ms in standard UPS mode) keeps computers, appliances, and critical devices running without interruption.
Compact for Its Capacity
Built to Move, Plug In and Go
At 134.5 lbs, the Explorer 5000 Plus packs a massive 5kWh of capacity into a body sized like a typical 3kWh unit — one-button start and plug-and-play setup make it easy to move from garage to living room to patio.
