Jackery Whole-Home Backup Kit 5000 Plus – Complete Home Energy Backup
Prepare your home for extended power outages with the Jackery Whole-Home Backup Kit 5000 Plus (20kWh), a comprehensive home battery backup system designed to keep essential household circuits operating when the electrical grid goes down. Combining high-capacity battery storage, powerful 120V/240V output, and smart circuit-level backup, this complete energy solution is built for homeowners who want dependable electricity during hurricanes, storms, blackouts, and other unexpected outages.
The complete 20kWh configuration includes two Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus power stations, two Battery Pack 5000 Plus expansion batteries, and a Smart Transfer Switch. Together, the system provides substantial stored energy while allowing compatible household circuits to receive backup power through the home's electrical system.
Serious Power for Essential Home Systems
With up to 7,200W of output per Explorer 5000 Plus, the system is designed for more demanding household power requirements than a typical portable battery generator. The 120V/240V dual-voltage capability supports a broad range of compatible appliances and equipment, helping keep essential parts of your home operating during an outage.
The Smart Transfer Switch adds another level of convenience by connecting the backup system to selected home circuits. Jackery specifies support for up to 12 load branches, allowing homeowners to prioritize essential areas and equipment rather than relying on extension cords throughout the house.
Built for Extended Outages
A major advantage of this system is its ability to provide significantly more stored energy than a single portable power station. The 20kWh configuration is designed for extended home backup, and Jackery's modular architecture allows the system to scale from 5kWh up to 60kWh in supported configurations.
That scalability makes the Whole-Home Backup Kit especially useful for homeowners who want an energy storage system that can grow with their needs. Additional capacity can help extend runtime during prolonged outages while providing greater flexibility for emergency preparedness and off-grid applications.
Solar Charging for Greater Energy Independence
The system can also be paired with compatible Jackery solar equipment to replenish stored energy using renewable power. The Explorer 5000 Plus supports up to 4,000W of solar input and multiple charging methods, giving homeowners more options for restoring battery capacity when grid electricity is unavailable.
For areas prone to hurricanes, severe storms, or recurring outages, combining large battery storage with solar charging creates a more resilient solar home backup system that isn't dependent on gasoline or a constantly available electrical outlet.
Smart, Quiet & Built for Long-Term Use
The system uses LiFePO4 battery technology with a rated lifespan of approximately 4,000 cycles to 70%+ capacity. Jackery also highlights its ChargeShield 2.0 safety system, UL-certified fire safeguards, and surge protection designed for residential backup applications.
The Explorer 5000 Plus also supports 0ms Online UPS operation, helping connected equipment remain powered without a noticeable interruption in supported configurations. Smart app functionality provides real-time monitoring and control, while the system's quiet operating modes offer an alternative to the constant engine noise of traditional gas-powered generators.
