Jackery Solar Generator 5000 Plus Portable Power Station with Anderson Extension Cable, 5040Wh Power Station, 7200W AC Output Solar Generator for Essential Home Bakcup, Emergency Backup

Perfect, what I needed. I needed something I could weld from as a mobile welder because every other generator is very loud, usually requires gas to start, and you cannot bring it inside a building if you need to weld inside. It's a bummer. But this one is quiet, and holds battery for a long time.

Very good and easy to use

I have owned 2 Jackery units for five years now.I own a Jackery 250, Jackery 1000. Both have been very reliable, I’ve had no issues with either unit in over 5 years! I recently purchased Solar Generator 5000.It’s very well built, it is very capable of providing power at each plug whether individual outlets or all at once.Be aware if you activate the Bluetooth and then the WiFi it will drain the unit slowly due to having the WiFi on even if you don’t use the unit. The instructions for the main battery unit is clear and informative.The software is VERY BASIC, it does allow access to all functions of the unit. It show’s inputs and outputs of everything. I have found it to be slow at updating the information…I have read some review that they have to log off the app then log back in for updated input/output numbers…for me it was just slow to keep update info, but it does if you wait a few minutes. I will come back in a few months to update the review as I will have put this unit through its paces… As far as customer service I’ve used the email option and have received reply’s promptly…The price and features are competitive with other companies. I can recommend.

No son buena

Very little noise, great power, solidly built.

Equipo muy recomendado. Estoy satisfecha, justo lo que necesitaba para mi familia. Solo descontenta porque el manual nunca llegó. No estaba con el equipo

so far so good

I bought this battery and a smart transfer switch to backup my house. The battery, when not in use, loses over 30% of its charge per day. This means if I don’t constantly recharge it, it will die and disconnect from the system after 3 days.5kwh of battery storage disappearing over 3 days is a huge amount. By my math, I’d have to use (5kwh / 3) =1.667 kWh per day of grid electricity to keep the battery charged at 100%. That’s approximately the amount of power my refrigerator uses in a day.After corresponding with Jackery support for weeks, they’ve offered no solutions.UPDATE: Jackery support emailed and called me after I posted this and they provided some detailed information on how this system works. When it’s in UPS mode, meaning you have uninterrupted power in the event of a grid outage, the battery unit uses a constant 50 watts. That’s why my battery drains so quickly.Also learned that the charging/discharging schedule gets disrupted when you travel. If you open the app from a different timezone, the schedules automatically change to your local timezone. So your battery may not be charging and discharging at the times that you want. They noted a feature request to improve this.You can put it into a backup only mode and it won’t drain the battery until there’s a grid outage. BUT, there are three big drawbacks to this mode: 1) if the grid power goes out, it takes 5 seconds for the battery to come on, 2) you can’t use the scheduled charge/discharge plan which allows you to automatically switch to battery everyday during peak (expensive) hours. 3) you can only select this mode for a maximum of 7 days. I don't understand why. But you'd have to go back in and turn it on every 7 days. They noted a feature request to improve this.Bottom line: it doesn’t work as I expected, but they seem dedicated to supporting customers and improving their software. With a couple of software fixes, I think this will be a great system!
