Key Takeaways

Best for: 3kWh of backup that one adult can still move
Standout: 3,600W and 3,072Wh in 59.5 lb, with an 8W idle draw
Watch out: no expansion batteries, and solar tops out at 1,000W
Not for: anyone planning to grow toward whole-home or 240V backup

The Jackery HomePower 3000 is a 3,072Wh battery that can run a fridge, lights, Wi-Fi and a few larger appliances through an outage, in a package one adult can still lift. It lists at $1,499 and often sells for about $1,349 direct from Jackery.

What it runs in an outage

Assuming about 85% efficiency, expect roughly 2,600Wh of usable power per charge. Estimates with typical US appliances:

Full-size fridge: 30 to 40 hours
Wi-Fi router and modem: about 5 days
CPAP, no heated humidifier: about a week of nights
Window AC unit: 3 to 4.5 hours
1,500W space heater: about 1.5 hours

Plugging in bigger loads

The four household outlets share 2,400W (The Solar Lab). The full 3,600W comes only from the 30A RV-style outlet.
To feed home circuits from that 30A outlet, have a licensed electrician install a transfer switch or power inlet.
With a full 1,000W solar array, expect about 3kWh on a sunny day (estimate: 1,000W x 4 sun hours x 0.75), close to one full recharge.

Product Brand: Jackery

Editor's Rating:
4.4

Pros

3,072Wh and 3,600W in 59.5 lb, much lighter than most 3kWh units
30A RV-style outlet (TT-30R) delivers the full 3,600W from one plug
Very low 8W idle draw, so it can sit ready for weeks (The Solar Lab)
4,000-cycle LFP battery, 5-year warranty when bought from Jackery
About 20ms UPS switchover when the grid drops

Cons

Can't add expansion batteries, so 3kWh is the ceiling
Solar input tops out at 1,000W, low for its size (The Solar Lab)
120V only, so no 240V well pumps or dryers
No wheels, just two handles (The Solar Lab)

Specs

Capacity	3,072Wh LFP
Continuous output	3,600W (120V)
Surge	7,200W
Weight	59.5 lb
AC charging	about 2.2 hours
Solar input	up to 1,000W
UPS switchover	about 20ms
Outlets	4x 120V AC, 1x 30A TT-30R, 2x USB-C 100W, 2x USB-A, car socket
Battery life	4,000 cycles to 70%
Warranty	3 years + 2 extra when bought from Jackery

Verdict

The best pick if you want a big battery that's still portable and ready to go after weeks in storage. If you plan to add batteries or lots of solar later, get the Anker SOLIX F3000 instead.

Common Questions

Can I use it indoors?: Yes. It has no exhaust like a gas generator, so it's safe to run and charge indoors.
How should I store it between outages?: Keep it charged and top it up every few months. The low idle draw means it loses little charge while waiting.
Is it safe to use with medical equipment?: It isn't a medical-grade UPS. Check with your device maker before relying on it for a CPAP, oxygen concentrator or other medical equipment.
