EcoFlow is rolling out a new home backup battery line that starts small: one 5-kilowatt-hour module designed to keep a refrigerator, lights, Wi-Fi, and personal devices running during an outage. If that isn't enough, the system can be expanded to 30 kWh.
Here's what to know
According to Electrek, the Titan 5000 family includes three residential models built around 5 kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries, and the modular setup lets owners add more 5,000-watt-hour units to increase storage.
EcoFlow says a full 30 kWh configuration could keep an average U.S. home powered for up to two days without the grid.
The entry-level Titan 5000 Classic is rated for up to 4 kW at 120 volts, which would cover essentials.
The mid-tier Titan 5000 raises continuous output to 7.2 kW and includes both 120V and 240V split-phase service, which could be a fit for homes with heavy energy demands.
For the top-tier Titan 5000 Plus, continuous output remains 7.2 kW, while peak power can rise to 10 kW when the system is paired with solar and EcoFlow's X-Fusion 2.0 PV Boost technology.

EcoFlow says the Titan 5000 and Titan 5000 Plus are both compatible with the Smart Home Panel 10, which adds backup power without forcing homeowners to replace the electrical panel, per Electrek.
More background
EcoFlow is positioning home backup as a gradual purchase.
While one 5 kWh battery wouldn't power an entire house, it could keep essentials running during an outage, providing food refrigeration, internet access, lighting, and device charging.
That modular setup could also help households avoid paying for more battery capacity than they actually need.
A homeowner concerned about short outages could start with one unit, while someone looking for resilience during storms could work their way toward 30 kWh over time.
The company also says the Smart Home Panel 10 can make backup installations simple by avoiding an electrical panel replacement, which can add cost, time, and disruption to a project.
Electrek also noted that FCC authorizations for the three Titan 5000 systems were dated July 20, which was ahead of the July 28 rollout of FCC restrictions on foreign-produced inverters.
What's being done?
EcoFlow is offering three early-bird bundle deals to draw interest.
A $50 deposit secures a place in line, and EcoFlow says buyers could save up to $2,999 when the Titan 5000 line arrives in November and the remaining balance comes due, Electrek reported.
Solar compatibility on the Titan 5000 Plus could allow homeowners to capture and use more of their own electricity.
"Whole-home backup has traditionally required households to choose between the power they want and the cost and complexity they're willing to take on," Brian Essenmacher, head of U.S. business development at EcoFlow, said, per Electrek. "With Titan, we're giving more families a practical way to get the power they need, while also helping them manage energy more intelligently every day."
