Key Features of Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus
The Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus is the next-gen expandable home backup power solution ideal for powering almost all home essentials. It is safe, durable, and ultra-portable, so you can easily move the power station around your home to run the essentials. Let’s check the essential features of the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus:
Big Power, Bigger Capacity
The Jackery Solar Generator HomePower 3600 Plus delivers the kind of backup power that keeps essentials running for days. With a base output of 3,600W and expandable battery capacity up to 21kWh per unit or 43kWh with two units in parallel, it can power appliances for a family of three for over two weeks. The massive battery capacity and dual voltage support (120V/240V) allow you to power various high-demand appliances, such as a fridge, water pump, and dryer, all at once.

Built to Last, Built for Safety
The Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus prioritizes safety and durability so families can trust it for years. It utilizes ceramic membrane battery cells, which are tested at high temperatures for added protection against overheating. It has an ultra-long lifespan of 6,000 cycles, which translates to more than a decade of performance and far above industry standards. It also performs reliably at temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F), so you can count on the power during blizzards, storms, or in everyday life.
Ultra-Portable, Lightest, Smallest
The Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus is designed with a luggage-style build, complete with wheels and a telescoping handle. It is the world's lightest and smallest 3.6kWh LFP power station, which is simple to roll from the kitchen to the garage or wherever it is needed. Compared to other power stations in its class, it is around 34% smaller and 29% lighter, so homeowners don't have to wrestle with moving backup power around the house.
MTS Ultra-Low Self-Discharge
If you want an essential home backup solution that can be set up and forgotten until it is needed, the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus is the ideal choice. With Jackery's ZeroDrain™ technology, it loses less than 5% of its charge over a year, so it always stays ready for emergencies. When paired with the Manual Transfer Switch (MTS), it can be set up to back up key household circuits, such as the kitchen or living room, with one-touch switching in just 2 seconds during an outage.
Paired with Jackery SolarSaga 500X Solar Panel
If you want complete independence from the utility grid or want to lower the monthly electricity bills, you can pair the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus with the Jackery SolarSaga 500 X Solar Panel. With high efficiency (up to 25%) and an M-shaped bifacial design, the solar panels capture more sunlight and recharge the station in as little as four hours. They are tested for durability and built to withstand strong winds, making them reliable in harsh weather conditions.
Safe and Patented Charging Algorithms
Charging the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus is not only fast but also carefully managed. It uses ChargeShield™ 2.0, an AI-based charging algorithm that adjusts speed for safety. It maintains a quiet operation, at around 30 dB, comparable to the sound of a whisper. That balance ensures you get quick recharges without putting extra stress on the battery.
Seamless UPS Switching
Fast UPS switching ensures you won't lose power to critical household devices during outages. The Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus features seamless UPS switching in under 10ms (or 0.01s), which means it can automatically switch to backup power in as little as 10 milliseconds. That is quick enough to keep computers or medical equipment running without interruption. It provides an added sense of peace of mind for households that rely on sensitive electronics or have home offices that need steady power.
4 Ways to Charge
A power station is only useful if it is easy to recharge, and this one gives you options. You can plug the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus into a wall outlet (about 2.5 hours), combine AC and DC for a hybrid boost (about 2 hours), use solar panels (roughly 4 hours with 2*Jackery SolarSaga 500X Solar Panels), or pair with a gas generator (about 2.5 hours). That flexibility means you are never locked into a single charging method.
Multiple Ports to Power 9 Devices
The Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus can keep more than just one appliance running. It can power your family's daily essentials all at once. With nine different outlets in the solar generator, you can plug in your refrigerator, keep the WiFi router online, charge phones, and even brew coffee at the same time. The mix includes standard AC outlets, USB ports, and a dedicated RV port. This variety means you don't have to choose between keeping food fresh and staying connected.
Multi-Form Protection
The Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus is about keeping your home appliances safe. It features built-in surge protection that shields your devices from sudden voltage spikes, ensuring your fridge, WiFi router, and other essentials remain protected during storms or unstable grid conditions. It also carries one of the highest fire-safety ratings (UL94-V0), meaning the materials are tested to resist flames. This adds an extra layer of security when you are running the power station in the kitchen or near loved ones. It has smart temperature controls that automatically cut off power if things get too hot. It helps prevent overheating, while dual-chip monitoring ensures the system stays stable under heavy use.
Ultimate RV Companion
The Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus is not only for essential home backup needs. It can also support RV adventures. With a steady output and a dedicated RV port, it can handle typical camper or RV needs like lights, routers, and appliances. This makes the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus a solid choice for families who want reliable, quiet power while outdoor camping or extended traveling.
Smart App Features
The Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus comes with a companion Jackery mobile app that makes managing backup power simple and stress-free. Instead of guessing how much energy you have left, the app displays real-time usage, so you always know what is running and for how long. You can also customize charging schedules to fit your lifestyle. For example, you can set it to draw power during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper, or prioritize solar charging during the day to save more money.
Comparing the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus with the Jackery HomePower 3000 and Jackery 3000 Pro
Jackery offers two models with nearly 3kWh capacity: Jackery Explorer 3000 Pro and Jackery HomePower 3000. The Jackery HomePower 3000 is the upgraded version of the Jackery Explorer 3000 Pro. It features a LiFePO4 battery and is the lightest, smallest 3kWh LFP power station for powering home essentials.
The Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus stands out as the powerful, portable, and expandable option for multi-day fridge backup and household circuits. In contrast, the Jackery HomePower 3000 is a simpler, more compact essential home backup solution with no expandability. It is ideal for short outages when you need to keep essential appliances powered.
The choice between the three comes down to lifestyle. If you are a family that wants a reliable fridge and essentials backup for days at a time, the expandable Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus is an ideal fit. If you just need a smaller power station for brief outages or camping weekends, the Jackery HomePower 3000 is enough.
