What makes this system especially useful is that you can choose how far you want to take it. Start with just the Explorer 5000 Plus, add solar panels for off-grid charging, add the Smart Transfer Switch for home backup integration, or step up to a larger 10kWh or 20kWh battery configuration.

Choose Your Explorer 5000 Plus Setup

Explorer 5000 Plus: The standalone 5kWh Explorer 5000 Plus power station. A great starting point for e-moto charging, camping, RV use, emergency power, and portable backup.
Explorer 5000 Plus + SolarSaga 500 X x 2: Adds two SolarSaga 500 X solar panels for riders, campers, RV owners, and off-grid users who want the ability to recharge from solar.
Explorer 5000 Plus + SolarSaga 500 X x 2 + Smart Transfer Switch: Combines the Explorer, two solar panels, and Smart Transfer Switch for a more complete solar and home backup setup.
Explorer 5000 Plus + Smart Transfer Switch: Designed for customers who want to integrate the Explorer 5000 Plus into a compatible home backup system without adding solar panels.
Home Backup Kit 5000 Plus (20kWh): A larger-capacity configuration for extended home backup and customers who need substantially more stored energy than the standard 5kWh Explorer.
Explorer 5000 Plus (10kWh): Increased battery capacity for longer runtimes, additional e-moto charging, camping, RV use, or backup power without stepping all the way to the 20kWh Home Backup Kit.

Make sure you select the configuration that matches what you need. Solar panels, expansion battery capacity, and the Smart Transfer Switch are only included when you select an option that specifically lists those components.

7200W/30A Output with 120V & 240V Support

The Explorer 5000 Plus provides 7,200W/30A output and supports both 120V and 240V AC equipment. That gives it enough output for substantially more than phones and laptops. Compatible loads can include air conditioners, water pumps, refrigerators, household appliances, e-moto chargers, and other high-demand equipment.

For e-moto charging, always verify your charger's AC input requirements. Some chargers operate exclusively on 120V, while others support higher input voltages. Never connect a 120V-only charger to a 240V output.

12 Power Outputs

The Explorer 5000 Plus gives you a broad selection of AC, DC, and USB connections for everything from high-demand equipment to everyday electronics.

AC NEMA L14-30R / 14-50 Output
Four 120V AC Outputs: 20A / 2,400W
Two USB-C Outputs: Up to 100W
Two USB-A Outputs: Up to 18W
Car Power Port: 12V / 10A
AC Expansion Port: 240V / 60 Hz / 30A / 7,200W

What Size Power Station Do I Need for My E-Moto?

When sizing a battery power station for an e-moto, there are two separate numbers that matter: output wattage and battery capacity.

Output wattage tells you whether the power station can operate your charger. Battery capacity tells you roughly how much stored energy is available to put back into your bike.

The base Explorer 5000 Plus provides approximately 5kWh of stored energy and 7,200W of output. This gives it substantial output capability for compatible e-moto chargers, but the number of charges you can get depends heavily on the capacity of your bike battery.

For example, if your charger draws 1,500W, the Explorer has plenty of output to operate it. How long it can continue charging depends on the energy required by your bike and the remaining capacity in the Explorer.

Remember that you won't transfer every stored watt-hour directly into your e-moto battery. The inverter, charger, wiring, and battery charging process all introduce normal efficiency losses.

5kWh vs. 10kWh vs. 20kWh for E-Moto Charging

This is where choosing the right Explorer 5000 Plus configuration becomes important. Increasing battery capacity doesn't necessarily mean your charger runs faster. Instead, it gives you more stored energy and longer runtime.

5kWh Explorer 5000 Plus: A strong choice for portable charging, single-bike use, camping, RVs, track days, and shorter backup needs.
10kWh Explorer 5000 Plus: Better suited to multiple e-moto charges, longer trips, larger overnight loads, or customers who want more backup runtime.
20kWh Home Backup Kit: Built around substantially greater stored energy for extended home backup, larger off-grid setups, or situations where several days of power availability matter.

If your main goal is charging e-motos, don't automatically buy the configuration with the largest output number. Look at how many kWh of energy your bikes actually store and how many times you expect to charge them before you can recharge the Jackery.

Charging Multiple E-Motos

The Explorer 5000 Plus's 7,200W output gives it enough power to operate multiple compatible chargers, provided their combined AC input stays within the power station's output limits.

For example, two chargers drawing 1,500W each would require approximately 3,000W. Three 1,500W chargers would require approximately 4,500W.

Both are below the Explorer's 7,200W output rating. What changes dramatically when charging multiple bikes is how quickly you consume the available battery capacity. That's where the 10kWh configuration can make considerably more sense for riders with multiple bikes or larger e-moto batteries.

LiFePO4 Battery Technology

The Explorer 5000 Plus uses an internal LiFePO4 battery designed for long-term use. Jackery rates the battery around a 10-year lifespan, making this a system designed for regular charging, home backup, and emergency use.

ChargeShield 2.0 provides Jackery's charging and battery protection technology to help manage charging performance and battery health.

Multiple Ways to Recharge

The Explorer 5000 Plus can be recharged several ways depending on your selected configuration and the equipment you have available.

Standard AC Charging: Approximately 3.5 hours using up to 1,800W AC input.
SolarSaga 500 X Solar Charging: Approximately 6.5 hours using two compatible SolarSaga 500 X solar panels under appropriate conditions.
High-Power Charging: As little as approximately 1.7 hours using a compatible Smart Transfer Switch, high-voltage 4,000W solar configuration, or supported hybrid charging configuration.

Solar panels and the Smart Transfer Switch are included only with configurations that specifically list them. Solar charging performance will also vary based on sunlight, weather, temperature, panel placement, and other environmental conditions.

Want Solar? Choose a SolarSaga 500 X Package

If you're planning extended camping trips, RV travel, remote riding, or off-grid e-moto charging, choose one of the configurations that includes two SolarSaga 500 X solar panels.

Solar gives you a way to replenish the Jackery when normal grid power isn't available. For riders spending several days away from an outlet, this can be considerably more useful than simply carrying a larger battery and having no way to recharge it.

If you don't need solar, choose one of the Explorer configurations without SolarSaga panels.

Want Home Backup? Choose a Smart Transfer Switch Package

The Smart Transfer Switch is for customers looking to take the Explorer 5000 Plus beyond portable power and integrate it into a compatible home backup system.

If home backup is your priority, choose either the Explorer 5000 Plus + Smart Transfer Switch, the package that combines SolarSaga 500 X panels + Smart Transfer Switch, or the appropriate larger Home Backup Kit.

If you're primarily using the Explorer for e-moto charging, camping, an RV, or portable power, you may not need the Smart Transfer Switch at all.

Near 0ms UPS Backup

The Explorer 5000 Plus can function as a UPS with near 0ms switchover, helping keep compatible computers, appliances, networking equipment, and other critical devices operating when utility power is interrupted.

This is one of the advantages of battery backup compared with a traditional fuel generator. Stored battery power is already available, so there isn't a combustion engine that needs to start before electricity can be supplied.

Quiet Power at Just 30 dB

Jackery rates the Explorer 5000 Plus at just 30 dB under applicable operating conditions. For camping, overnight e-moto charging, home backup, RV use, and race pits, the lack of a combustion engine can be a major advantage.

There's also no gasoline engine to maintain, no engine oil to change, and no exhaust produced by the power station itself while it's operating.

Built-In Wheels & Pull Handle

A 5kWh battery system isn't something you want to carry everywhere by hand. Jackery equips the Explorer 5000 Plus with built-in wheels and a pull handle, making it easier to move around the garage, home, RV, campsite, trailer, or race pits.

Smart App Control

The Explorer 5000 Plus supports smart control through the Jackery mobile app, giving you another way to monitor and manage the power station from a compatible mobile device.

Power Station vs. Fuel Generator

Both have their advantages. A gasoline, propane, or tri-fuel generator can continue producing electricity as long as you keep supplying fuel. The Explorer 5000 Plus stores energy internally, giving you quiet operation, no engine exhaust, near-instant backup power, and the option to add solar charging.

For an e-moto rider, the Explorer 5000 Plus can make a lot of sense for overnight charging, campsites, garages, RVs, race pits, residential areas, and locations where you simply don't want a generator running.

If you're planning several days of riding and repeated full e-moto charges, consider one of the higher-capacity configurations or a package with SolarSaga panels so you have more stored energy or a way to replenish it off-grid.
