If a blackout has ever cost you a fridge full of groceries, Jackery has a fix for that now. The company is introducing FridgeGuard alongside three new HomePower Series batteries, giving you power backup options for different appliances.

FridgeGuard brings a sleek new look to fridge backup power

Jackery says FridgeGuard is the world’s slimmest refrigerator backup battery. It measures just 2.6 inches thick and weighs 23 pounds, allowing it to sit beside a refrigerator, lie flat, or be mounted on a wall. Inside, a 1024Wh battery delivers up to 15 hours of runtime, stretching to 30 hours with an optional expansion battery.

With a 10ms switchover, your fridge barely notices when the power actually cuts out. Jackery also built in a 1600W peak output to handle compressor startups, along with surge protection and a bypass mode that preserves battery health once it is fully charged. FridgeGuard can also support home offices, aquariums, and CPAP devices. It launches as a Costco exclusive at $559.99 for members.

Jackery HomePower Series brings home backup power in three sizes

For broader backup needs, Jackery is introducing three HomePower models:

  • HomePower 3600 Pro Max ($2,999) leads the lineup with 3584Wh of base capacity, scalable up to 43kWh, and can pair with a Manual Transfer Switch to back up your entire home automatically.
  • HomePower 2000 Plus v2 ($1,799) focuses on flexible scaling and solar charging. It offers 2048Wh that expands up to 12kWh through simple battery stacking.
  • HomePower 1000 v2 ($849) targets home offices with 1024Wh and built-in surge protection for sensitive electronics.

All three rely on LiFePO4 batteries rated for 6000 cycles, translating to roughly 16 years of use. The HomePower Series launches June 23 through Jackery’s website and Amazon.

Jackery is entering a growing category of home backup batteries designed specifically for refrigerators. Earlier this month, Anker introduced the Solix S2000, a compact power station that claims up to 35 hours of fridge runtime during a blackout.

When you talk about a big-capacity home battery, your first thought might be a bulky unit set against a garage wall. But Anker is putting wheels on it to make it a little more mobile. The new Anker SOLIX S5000 is a 5,024Wh portable power station that pairs 4,500W of rated output with 120V and 240V support, built-in wheels, and a telescoping handle.

As per official claims, a single unit can keep a collection of essential household devices running for 48 hours during an outage, while additional batteries can expand the system from 5kWh all the way to 30kWh. You can see this in the official images, with the S5000 rolling between a home office and garage system, rather than being permanently installed in your home.
