Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus (7.2kWh)

Jackery · 7,200 Wh · 3,600 W AC output

The short answer

The Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus (7.2kWh) stores 7,200 Wh and the maker lists 3,600 W of continuous AC output. By our calculation a full charge runs a typical refrigerator for roughly 4.2 days, and the unit can power 19 of the 20 appliances we model. Jackery lists it at $3,499, about $486 per kWh of storage.

Good fit if

  • You want a large battery for essential circuits, ideally installed with a transfer switch or home panel by an electrician
  • You want multi-day backup with solar recharge

Look elsewhere if

  • You need something portable — large systems are heavy
  • You will not hire an electrician for any home connection
  • You need a confirmed surge rating — the sources we read do not state one

What it can run, and for how long

A power station is a battery with an inverter: it stores energy as watt-hours (Wh) and delivers it as AC watts (W). The Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus (7.2kWh) stores 7,200 Wh, of which about 6,120 Wh reaches your appliances after losses, and its inverter limits the load to 3,600 W at a time.

Wattstanding calculationWattstanding calculation — runtime = capacity (Wh) × 85% ÷ (running watts × duty cycle). The 85% covers inverter and conversion losses; duty cycle is the share of time the appliance actually draws power. Appliance wattages are typical planning values, not measurements — read the nameplate on your own appliance. Real runtime also depends on temperature, battery age and the maker's inverter efficiency.

Practical noteCooling appliances cycle on and off, so a refrigerator draws far less than its running watts over a day, but each start needs a brief surge. If a load's starting watts exceed the maker's surge rating, the inverter can shut down.

Recharging

Recharge time depends on the source. Solar numbers below are our calculation for the panel wattage shown, assuming 75% real-world output and the approximate annual-average peak sun hours for each region; winter and cloud cover cut them sharply.

Practical noteThe sources we read do not state this model's charging limits. Check the maker's page before pairing panels or a generator.

See the solar recharge calculator for your own panel size and sun hours.

Connecting it to a home

You can plug appliances straight into the unit's outlets. Powering a home's circuits is different: it needs a properly rated transfer switch or the maker's home-integration hardware, installed by a licensed electrician.

SafetyNever plug a generator or battery system into a wall outlet to power the house ("backfeeding"): it can send electricity back into the utility lines and injure line workers, and it can start fires. Connecting a generator to a home's wiring is a job for a licensed electrician, with the permit and inspection your local code requires. Wattstanding does not give wiring instructions.

If you plan to connect it to the house, compare it with the equipment in our transfer switch and hookup library and read the whole-house guide.

Questions buyers ask

How long will the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus (7.2kWh) run a refrigerator?
About 4.2 days on a full charge by our calculation (typical modern refrigerator, 40% duty cycle, 85% efficiency). Your refrigerator's nameplate and its door-opening habits change this.
Can the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus (7.2kWh) run a sump pump or well pump?
Sump pump (1/3 hp): yes. Well pump (1/2 hp): yes. These use typical wattages; read the pump's nameplate.
Can I use it to power my whole house?
Not by plugging the house into it. With 7,200 Wh it holds about 24% of one day's energy for a home that uses 30 kWh a day (an example figure — check your own bill), and connecting it to home wiring needs a licensed electrician.
Where can I buy the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus (7.2kWh)?
1 seller list it: Jackery.
