Back-to-back power cuts in winter can turn daily life into a real headache. Between keeping your fridge cold, keeping WiFi running and making sure the lights don’t go dark, a reliable backup solution is no longer just a nice-to-have: That’s exactly why the Jackery HomePower 3000 power station is attracting attention right now. It’s on Amazon for just $1,099, down from its original $2,499, which is the lowest price it’s ever hit. That’s $1,400 off (56% off) one of the most capable portable stations you can find.

A Heavyweight Backup for Modern Homes
This deal is hard to resist because the HomePower 3000 isn’t designed to power just a lamp or laptop but entire homes in a power outage. It produces a 3600W output (7200W surge capacity) and provides you with enough backup to operate refrigerators cool, fans all the time, routers plugged in and lights steady. Its 3072Wh LFP battery means that you can run a refrigerator for two days or a combination of essentials for 15 hours before they need to be charged again.
Jackery made sure to include features that are considerate both for functionality and reassurance. A highlight in particular is its ≤20ms UPS feature: That is, if the power goes out even for a momentary fraction of a second, your device automatically switches to battery mode without glitching. It’s especially useful for something like home security systems, a medical fridge or even as simple as a Zoom call that shouldn’t be interrupted halfway through a sentence.
And then there’s diversity in how you plug into the power in the first place. The HomePower 3000 offers multiple ports on hand: AC ports, rear TT-30 RV port, USB-C and USB-A, and DC ports. Those two 100W PD USB-C ports enable you to charge devices like tablets or phones up quickly while at the same time powering larger appliances along.
Charging the unit itself is refreshingly quick compared with similar models. Plugging into both AC and DC together refills the battery in about 1.7 hours, or in 2.2 hours with standard AC. Pair it with solar panels (two SolarSaga 200Ws, for instance, not included here)and you’ll recover 80% of capacity in around nine hours of daylight. For emergencies on the road, it still supports recharging through a car adapter or traditional generator so you’re never fully cornered.
The LiFePO4 battery within offers up to 4,000 cycles with fine performance over the long term, outperforming typical lithium-ion models. Jackery even threw in its own ChargeShield 2.0 technology, which charges more quickly while maintaining overall battery life. The construction itself is surprisingly small for what is included. With the use of CTB technology, this is the world’s first miniaturized compact 3kwh portable station, and it is smaller by nearly half the size of competing models.
If you’re living in outage-prone regions, make sure you don’t miss that deal.
