Home Backup Power Station with Solar Panels $1,200 Off, Amazon Wants to Prevent Winter Outages
Having a reliable home backup can be a lifesaver in more ways than one. If you live in an area prone to frequent power outages or just want a reliable power solution for your off-grid adventures, investing in a portable power station can make things easier, and you can now snag one without paying the full price.
Amazon has dropped the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus portable power station bundle to $2,499, which is a $1,200 discount on the retail price of almost $3,699. You’re getting the 3600W power station itself, plus 2 x 200W solar panels and an AC charging cable, which means it will be ready to go right out of the box without needing anything extra. It’s the lowest price we have seen, but the offer won’t stay around for long.
Keeps Your Essentials Running for Hours
The Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus delivers 3600W of AC output. On its own, it’s enough to power essentials like refrigerators, sump pumps, space heaters or power tools. You’re looking at around 2–3 days of power for a standard fridge (200W), or 7.5 hours for a 330W cooker. Can’t start your day without a strong cup of joe? It can run a 1120W coffee machine for about 2.6 hours which is plenty for multiple brews across a few days. Work-wise, you’ll be covered with around 43 full laptop charges, 70 tablet recharges, or 150 phone charges. But in case you need more, you can pair it with another unit to double the output to 7200W.
Recharging the power station is fast, too: You can juice it back up in four ways; through standard AC, solar (two panels are included), a gas generator, or a hybrid of AC + solar. The fastest method is the hybrid combo, which gets you from 0 to 100% in just 2 hours. If you’re using AC alone, it takes about 2.5 hours, and solar-only will make it reach 100% in 4 hours.
Jackery has taken security seriously with this one. It features high-temperature-resistant ceramic membrane battery cells that are tested to withstand conditions up to 302 degrees Fahrenheit. You won’t have to worry about overheating even during heavy use. The battery is also rated for 6,000 full charge cycles and has a lifespan of up to 10 years.
It’s also quite lightweight and easy to carry around, as the unit weighs just over 77 pounds.
