The Anker SOLIX S5000 Keeps Your 120V And 240V Essentials Running Through Long Outages

The Anker SOLIX S5000 is a 5,024Wh portable power station that puts serious home backup on wheels. It pairs 314Ah LFP cells with 4,500W of continuous output at 120V or 240V, and it weighs 97 lb with built-in wheels and a telescoping handle.

Add up to five BP5000 Expansion Batteries for 30,144Wh of storage, and recharge from the wall, solar, a generator or your vehicle.

Anker SOLIX S5000 Features

4,500W Of 120V Or 240V Power For Well Pumps, Dryers And Everyday Appliances

The S5000 delivers 4,500W continuous with an 8,000W one-second surge to help motor loads like a 2HP well pump start. Anker lists refrigerators, window air conditioners, microwaves, dryers, water heaters and electric ranges among the appliances it can run within that 4,500W.

The outlets run at 120V or 240V, not both at once. The 120V button powers four NEMA 5-20R outlets and a TT-30R outlet, and the 240V button powers the L14-30R outlet.

SurgePad Lets Heat-Producing Devices Run Above The Rated Output

Above 4,500W, SurgePad lets heat-producing devices draw up to 6,000W. It does not work while charging from AC power or with devices that need a strict voltage.

Low Idle Draw So More Of The Battery Goes To Your Appliances

Anker's OptiSave technology holds active idle power to 8.8W. In Anker's testing, the S5000 reached 96% efficiency at 1,000W and ran a 700 L (24.7 cu ft) refrigerator for up to 86 hours. Actual runtime varies with your appliance and conditions.

Six Ways To Recharge, Including About 99 Minutes From A Generator

  • Wall outlet at 1,800W with the included AC charging cable, full in about 3.1 hours
  • Solar at up to 3,000W across two inputs, full in about 2.1 hours at the maximum
  • Anker SOLIX Smart Generator 5500 at up to 4,500W through the DC port, full in about 99 minutes
  • Third-party generator at up to 4,500W, full in about 99 minutes
  • Vehicle alternator at 800W with the Anker SOLIX Alternator Charger, full in about 7.3 hours
  • Mixed charging, such as AC plus solar, full in about 99 minutes

Times are from Anker's lab testing. Anker offers a 240V Fast Charging Cable for generator charging.

Two Solar Inputs For Portable And Rigid Panels

The Low-PV input takes 11 to 60V at up to 17A and 1,000W, and the High-PV input takes 16 to 165V at up to 17A and 2,000W. A High-Voltage Solar Adapter is included. Panels, the XT60i low-voltage adapter and extension cables are sold separately.

Expand From 5kWh To 30kWh With BP5000 Batteries

Each BP5000 Expansion Battery adds 5,024Wh, up to five for 30,144Wh, and raises maximum charging power by 3,200W, up to 12,000W. The S5000 works only with BP5000 batteries.

UL 9540 And UL 9540A Certified With 10,000-Cycle LFP Cells

The S5000 is certified to UL 9540 and UL 9540A, with smoke-venting channels, a high-temperature mica layer and nano thermal insulation between cells. Its LFP cells are rated for 10,000 cycles to more than 60% capacity, which Anker puts at about 15 years at 1 to 2 cycles a day. A 5-year warranty is included.

10-Millisecond UPS Switchover When The Grid Drops

Plugged into the wall with AC output on, the S5000 works as a standby UPS with a 10 ms transfer time.

App Control With Storm Guard And Time-Of-Use Scheduling

  • Storm Guard charges to full at top speed ahead of severe weather
  • Time-of-Use mode charges when rates are low and runs your loads from the battery when rates peak
  • AC output schedules turn the outlets on or off automatically
  • Auto start-stop runs the Smart Generator 5500 between the charge levels you set

The S5000 connects to the Anker app over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.


Real-World Applications

  • Essential circuit backup. Anker's Home Backup Kit connects the S5000 to up to 10 circuits through a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician.
  • Well pumps and 240V appliances. The L14-30R outlet powers loads like a 2HP well pump or an electric dryer within 4,500W.
  • RV trips and camping. The TT-30R outlet suits RVs with 30A service. The S5000 has a floating neutral, so ground it before connecting to an RV.
  • Time-of-use savings. Store power when it is cheap and use it when rates peak. Savings depend on your rate plan and usage.
  • Longer outages. Add solar and a generator. The S5000 can start and stop the Smart Generator 5500 automatically.

Practical Comparison

Anker SOLIX S5000 Versus Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus

Feature Anker SOLIX S5000 Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus
Battery Capacity 5,024Wh 3,840Wh
Maximum Capacity 30,144Wh with 5 x BP5000 26,880Wh with 6 x BP3800
Continuous Output 4,500W 6,000W
Solar Input 3,000W 3,200W
Expansion Battery BP5000 BP3800
Anker Home Power Panel Not compatible Compatible

Choose the F3800 Plus for 6,000W of output or Anker's Home Power Panel. Choose the S5000 for more stored energy per unit and room to grow to about 30kWh.

Anker SOLIX S5000 Versus Anker SOLIX E10

The Anker SOLIX E10 is a whole-home system with 10 to 30kW of turbo output and up to 9kW of solar input. The S5000 suits essential circuits and plug-in backup you can roll where it is needed.

Anker SOLIX S5000 Versus A Gas Generator

A generator runs as long as you have fuel. The S5000 runs indoors with no fuel or exhaust, and a generator can recharge it in about 99 minutes.


Buyer Guidance

Choosing Your Capacity

One S5000 can keep a refrigerator, lights and internet running, and in Anker's testing it ran a large refrigerator alone for up to 86 hours. Add BP5000 batteries for well pumps, freezers or 240V appliances, or if outages often last more than a day. You can add them now or later.

Planning Your Home Connection

The S5000 does not work with the Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel. Use a compatible transfer switch or power inlet box installed by a licensed electrician. Our home backup installer directory can help.

This May Be A Good Fit If

  • You want 5kWh of backup you can roll from room to room
  • You need 240V for a well pump or dryer up to 4,500W
  • You want to start with one unit and add batteries over time
  • You plan to recharge from solar or a generator during long outages
  • Your RV uses a TT-30 connection

Need 120V and 240V at once, or more than 4,500W? Compare the F3800 Plus or the E10.


Common Questions

Does The Anker SOLIX S5000 Work With BP3800 Or BP3000 Batteries?

No. The S5000 supports only BP5000 Expansion Batteries. The BP3800, BP3000 and third-party batteries are not compatible.

Can I Use The 120V And 240V Outlets At The Same Time?

No. The S5000 outputs either 120V or 240V at one time.

What Does The 8,000W Peak Rating Mean?

It covers the brief startup surge of appliances like water pumps. Continuous loads above 4,500W trigger overload protection.

Can The S5000 Charge From A Generator And Expansion Batteries At The Same Time?

Yes. Connect the Smart Generator 5500 to the second DC port on a BP5000, or to the DC port on the top battery in a stack.
