The base model holds 5kWh of power, but you can stack extra battery packs to expand it to 60kWh. Jackery says that's potentially enough to power an average home for up to 15 days during an outage. With a 7200W output (expandable up to 14400W) and both 120V and 240V outlets, it can handle pretty much anything you throw at it — from your fridge and lights to heavy-duty appliances like electric dryers, ovens, or even an RV hookup.
It's got some smart features, too. The 0ms UPS mode means it switches to battery power instantly during an outage, so sensitive electronics like computers or WiFi routers won't even flicker. Plus, you can manage everything through the Jackery app, like monitoring power usage or setting it to charge during off-peak hours to save on your electricity bill.
