The Explorer 5000 Plus is a 5.0kWh LiFePO₄ power station designed for extended home backup, high-demand appliances, RV power, and whole-room emergency use. With 7200W continuous output, 14400W surge, and an expandable architecture from 5kWh up to 60kWh, it provides clean, stable energy for refrigerators, routers, medical devices, dryers, ovens, and essential home circuits. Its dual-voltage 120V/240V output and zero-emission indoor operation make it a reliable whole-home solution during outages.

Backup Power Capacity

The base 5040Wh system supports refrigerators, Wi-Fi routers, lights, and small appliances for up to 30 days, depending on load. Its 7200–14400W output powers high-demand devices including freezers, dryers, ovens, and portable AC units.
Two UPS modes ensure uninterrupted operation:

• 0ms Online UPS keeps sensitive electronics (PCs, NAS, routers) running without a flicker.
• <20ms Backup UPS maintains refrigerators, lights, and fans through normal outage transitions.

With expansion batteries, total storage increases to 60kWh, shifting from powering single rooms to whole-home backup coverage, even in long emergencies caused by storms or heatwaves. Long-term retention remains high: 96.8% capacity after 3 months, 92.5% after 1 year.

Safety & Durability

The 5000 Plus uses LiFePO₄ battery chemistry with multi-layer protection for heat stability, extended lifespan, and safe indoor operation. Rated for 4000+ cycles to 70%+, it offers years of dependable emergency backup. System protections include high-voltage surge control, temperature monitoring, short-circuit safeguards, and safe operation from 5°F–113°F, ensuring performance during winter blackouts, heat waves, and year-round storage.

Dual-Voltage & High-Demand Performance

With 7200W rated output and 14400W surge, the Explorer 5000 Plus powers appliances that typical portable stations cannot handle. The 120V/240V dual-voltage architecture supports everything from everyday electronics to high-draw equipment such as dryers, ovens, well pumps, and portable AC units.
When integrated with the Smart Transfer Switch, it can energize full rooms and essential circuits, enabling seamless home backup. For RV users, direct 240V support offers reliable power for long trips and high-demand gear (ensure proper grounding when charging your RV).

Charging Performance

The system supports 4000W max charging, enabling rapid recovery between outages.
Charging options include:

• AC charging (1800W): ~3.5 hours
• Smart Transfer Switch charging (4000W): ~1.7 hours
• Solar charging (500X × 2 panels): ~6.5 hours*
• High-voltage PV input (4000W): ~1.7 hours
• Hybrid charging (AC + Solar + STS): up to 4000W → ~1.7 hours
  *Requires optimal tilt and two SolarSaga 500X panels.
  Note: AC and STS charging cannot be used simultaneously.

Home Integration

Paired with the Smart Transfer Switch, the 5000 Plus can power essential home circuits including refrigerators, routers, lights, home office setups, and bedroom outlets. Circuit-level backup activates instantly in Online UPS mode, keeping electronics protected. Customizable input settings optimize power draw whether connected to a wall outlet, generator, or solar array. Solar priority and scheduling features help reduce energy costs during off-peak hours.

Solar Compatibility

The Explorer 5000 Plus is compatible with Jackery SolarSaga panels. For multi-panel setups, the Jackery Solar Panel Connector is required.
To maintain stable solar performance:

• Avoid mixing different solar panel models.
• Do not connect more than six 85W panels to a single DC8020 port.

High-PV and Low-PV inputs expand configuration options for residential, RV, and off-grid environments.

Mobility & Everyday Use

Despite its high capacity, the unit remains manageable for home use at 134.5 lbs. Designed for garages, utility rooms, or RV setups, it operates quietly indoors and provides reliable emergency power without fumes, fuel, or ventilation requirements.

Ports & Connectivity

The Explorer 5000 Plus supports 12 output options for simultaneous device use.

• AC Output (4x): 120V, 20A, 2400W
• AC Output (1x NEMA L14-30R/14-50): 120V/240V, 30A, 7200W
• Total Output: 7200W (14400W surge)
• USB-C (2x): 100W
• USB-A (2x): 18W
• 12V Car Port: 10A
• AC Expansion Port: 240V / 30A / 7200W
• DC Expansion Port: 80.5V–126V / 41A Max

The unit scales with expansion batteries through the AC and DC expansion ports, enabling long-term growth for whole-home systems.
