The name of these things always bother me...They don't generate anything (on their own). They store power, deliver it, and then are a brick until you can charge them again. Doesn't make them bad, just a poor way to describe the product to me.

try not to be so lazy. there is a search function on this site.

how is $2719 front page worthy when its been hundreds of dollars cheaper multiple times over the past year, including from vendors with no sales tax?

doesn't do 240v output while charging at 120v. cannnot charge the unit with 240v unless you buy their smart panel. high-voltage start up (135v) needed for the 4000w solar input. need to run at least 5 residential 400w panels in series just to get the solar going on the high input. it does have some low voltage solar inputs, but they are outdated 8mm, not the standard xt60. those are some downsides.

otherwise its a fine and solid unit, and on the cheaper side for a 7200w 240v output (aren't that many choices at this inverter size). i would rather have the ecoflow delta pro ultra, but you can only get a refurbished for this price, not new. for something even cheaper, i would go with the pecron f5000, but that does not have the smart panel integration.

certainly not a fp deal at $2,719 plus tax, however.

Or you can buy 2 x 3600 with Jackery parallel connect adapter included for 120/240v and 7100wh 7200w for $2700. This mama weights 120lb while each 3600 weights 77lb. More manageable.

Community Reviews

Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus is a large LiFePO4 power station aimed at whole home backup and 240V output, with smart panel integration and 7200W rated output. The unit is praised for being solid and for offering a lot of power in a relatively portable package. The main drawbacks are the price, which has been lower before, and the need for Jackery's smart panel to charge from 240V while outputting 240V. Solar setup also looks finicky, with a 135V start requirement, older 8mm connectors, and reports of charging problems on solar.

Common Questions (5)

  • It does not output 240V while charging from 120V unless you buy Jackery's smart panel. The 240V mode also relies on bridging the two internal inverters, which can force slower 8-20ms transfer time.

    DocuMakerBlueMeat605sHockz_atx

  • Several comments say this price is still above prior sale prices, with earlier deals around $2,299-$2,491 and even lower in some cases. At $2719 plus tax, it is described as not front-page worthy for a 5040Wh/7200W unit.

    AlexL2533DocuMaker

  • Solar charging has been reported to have technical issues on some units. The high-voltage solar input also needs about 135V startup, so it may require at least five 400W residential panels in series before charging begins.

    BrereBearDocuMaker

  • Two Jackery 3600 units with the parallel adapter can provide 120/240V, about 7100Wh, and 7200W for roughly $2700. They are also more manageable to move, since the 5000 Plus is about 120 lb while each 3600 is about 77 lb.

    mudak73

  • It draws at least about 1300W while charging, so many smaller inverter generators will not support it. That makes it harder to spread out charging load unless you have a larger generator or another charging source.

As a potential buyer who is currently looking for some type of system like this, comments like this are both helpful and pointless. If this isn't a "Slick Deal," point to one that is. I see posts like this all the time, and they make no sense since nothing is shown to contradict the original deal.

I just bought this and I would buy the pecron f5000 over this and save some $. I did also order the F5000 too. The pecron will have variable charging if that important to you. If you need to spread out the charging load or use a small inverter generator. This will draw at least 1300w so it will not work for a lot of smaller inverter generators. I own a Pecron e3600 and I was so surprised to see how much more features the pecron has over this much more expensive Jackery.
i would take the pecron F5000 ($1899 deal, no sales tax) over this as well, if i did not require the smart panel integration feature that jackery has, and pecron doesn't. pecron will probably come out with one eventually, but for now, that is the major feature that is lacking. jackery, anker and ecoflow have smart panel integration. however, the anker f3800+ is only 6,000w. the anker e10 is very slick and 7.6kw, a little more than the jackery, but is not exactly easily portable, if that is required. there is a trolley for it which sort of makes it portable, but not quite the same. it is a very robust unit that is better than the jackery in most ways, and better than the delta pro ultra in a some ways as well, but it is a thousand more than this jackery at $3799.

what one works best depends on budget, how portable you need unit to be, and whether or not you require smart home panel integration, where you can control individual circuits.

What else would you call it? It generates power by using sun energy and then converting/inverting it. A gas generator uses an engine and stator to generate power. A nuclear power plant is a giant generator. A stream spinning an impeller and stator is a hydro generator. It is beyond a generator, as it also stores energy in a battery bank.

This just seems far too expensive. I guess it's usage case just isn't for me. I'll stick with a smaller backup system like the Anker Solix S2000. $600
