The new Anker Solix S5000 is ready to power your home during the next outage — preorder with huge discount

The world of portable power stations is expanding.

Anker Solix has a new model that showcases some of the brand's strongest suits, like being as lightweight and compact as possible while packing in the power.

But this isn't a model you'll take camping .

Instead, the Anker Solix S5000 is a model designed for whole-home backup when the grid fails.

Key features of the Anker Solix S5000 Right off the bat, the Solix S5000 comes with a massive 5,024Wh capacity and supports both 120V and 240V.

The rated power output sits at 4,500W with 8,000 peak output.

The capacity makes it the largest portable option in the Anker Solix lineup, if we're limiting this to models you can easily carry or roll around.

Of course, that amount of battery power is heavy.

It's 96.8 pounds, to be exact, which means Anker added durable wheels and a telescoping handle to this model, so you'll be able to roll it from the garage into the house when the power cuts out.

Stack up the expansion batteries to reach up to 30kWh.

If you decide you need more power, you can add extra Anker batteries to get up to 30kWh.

How the Anker Solix S5000 performs in real life We haven't started testing the new Solix S5000 yet, but Anker has some preliminary numbers worth checking out.

In real-life testing, Anker says the new station will keep a refrigerator running for 86 hours, or about 3.5 days.
