Whole‑Home Backup Power Without the Noise, Fumes, or Fuel Hassle

The Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus is a high‑capacity, expandable battery backup system that keeps your essential rooms powered during outages — without gas, fumes, or constant maintenance. From hurricanes to rolling blackouts, it gives you quiet, reliable power for fridges, freezers, medical devices, Wi‑Fi, and more.

Key benefits:

• Up to 30 days of backup for essentials
  Stack batteries from 5–60kWh and 7200–14400W output to keep fridges cold, lights on, and devices running through extended outages.

• No more spoiled food or scrambling for ice
  Enough capacity to keep refrigerators, freezers, and key appliances powered, even during multi‑day storms and blackouts.

• Zero‑second transfer with the Smart Transfer Switch
  When paired with Jackery’s Smart Transfer Switch, your essential circuits swap to battery power instantly — so your fridge, Wi‑Fi, and lights stay on without you touching a thing.

• Whole‑home or room‑by‑room coverage
  120V/240V dual voltage supports large loads like well pumps, AC, and heavy‑duty appliances while still handling everyday household gear.

• Fast solar recharging & multiple charge options
  Up to 4000W solar input plus AC, generator, and EV‑style charging options mean you can recharge in as little as 1.7 hours in ideal conditions.

“Perfect for / Not ideal if”

Perfect for you if:

• You want reliable backup power for your home without installing a permanent gas generator.
• You live in an area with hurricanes, wildfires, ice storms, or regular grid issues.
• You want a quieter, lower‑maintenance alternative to a traditional generator.
• You need to keep specific circuits (fridge, medical devices, office, etc.) powered automatically during outages.

Not ideal if:

• You only need a small power bank to charge phones and one laptop.
• You never experience outages and don’t need whole‑home or multi‑day backup.
• You’re looking for a built‑in, permanently installed standby generator solution.

Variant clarity

  Best for homeowners who want specific rooms or circuits (kitchen, office, bedroom) to switch seamlessly to battery power during an outage.

Keep Essential Rooms Powered for Days

Instead of guessing what you can run, the Explorer 5000 Plus is designed to keep real‑world essentials online: refrigerators, freezers, lights, Wi‑Fi routers, home office, medical devices, and critical outlets. With expandable capacity up to 60kWh, you can size your system for anything from short outages to multi‑day storms.

Quiet, Fume‑Free, Low‑Maintenance Backup

Because it’s a battery‑based system, there’s:

• No gasoline to store.
• No engine oil changes or complex maintenance.
• No exhaust fumes or loud generator noise.

You get clean, quiet power that’s safe to use indoors, in apartments, townhomes, and tight suburban lots.

Smart Transfer Switch for Automatic Backup

Pairing the Explorer 5000 Plus with Jackery’s Smart Transfer Switch lets you:

• Pre‑select which circuits are “protected” (fridge, office, bedroom, etc.).
• Enjoy 0ms transfer — your power switches to battery so quickly that many devices don’t even blink.
• Avoid running extension cords through the house during every outage.

120V/240V Dual Voltage for Bigger Loads

The Explorer 5000 Plus’s dual‑voltage output supports:

• Standard 120V household circuits and outlets.
• 240V loads like well pumps, certain HVAC units, and heavy appliances (depending on your total system sizing).

This makes it a realistic whole‑home backup solution rather than just a giant power bank.

Fast, Flexible Charging Options

You’re not limited to one way of recharging. The Explorer 5000 Plus supports:

• Up to 4000W solar input for fast solar recharging.
• Standard AC wall charging.
• Compatible generator input.
• Additional options depending on your setup.

In ideal conditions, you can fully recharge in as little as 1.7 hours with maximum solar input.

FAQ

Q: Can this really power my whole home?
A: It depends on which configuration you choose and how much power your home uses. Many customers use the Explorer 5000 Plus with a Smart Transfer Switch to back up specific “essential circuits” (kitchen, office, bedroom) rather than every outlet in the house. Contact us if you’d like help sizing a system.

Q: How is this different from a gas generator?
A: The Explorer 5000 Plus is a battery‑based system, so it runs quietly, produces no fumes, and requires far less maintenance. It’s safe to use indoors, and you can recharge it via solar, wall power, or a compatible generator.

Q: Do I need an electrician to install the Smart Transfer Switch?
A: Yes. For safety and code compliance, we strongly recommend a licensed electrician install the Smart Transfer Switch and connect it to your main electrical panel.

Q: Can I start with the base unit and upgrade later?
A: Yes. You can start with the Explorer 5000 Plus and add solar panels, extra batteries, or a Smart Transfer Switch later as your needs and budget grow.
