| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Storage | |
| CapacityHow much energy the battery stores. Bigger means longer runtime or more of your own solar power used later. | 5,120 Wh |
| Battery chemistryLFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells are known for long life and stable behaviour with heat. | LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate), 51.2 V |
| Cycle lifeHow many full charge and discharge cycles the cells are rated for before they hold less than the stated share of their original capacity. | 5,000+ cycles to 70% of original capacity |
| ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system. | Not stated |
| Output | |
| AC output (continuous)The power it can deliver all the time. Add up the watts of what you want to run at once and stay below this. | 4 x 120 V outlets and 1 x 120/240 V split-phase outlet, pure sine wave; 3,600 W rated in total, up to 1,800 W per 120 V output area and 3,600 W at 240 V |
| AC output (surge)A short burst above the continuous rating, for appliances that draw more power when they start. | 7,200 W |
| AC output, backup modeThe lower output limit that applies when the unit takes over during a power cut and runs as a backup supply. | 1,500 W at 100 V, 1,800 W at 120 V or 3,000 W at 240 V (15 A maximum) |
| USB-APorts for phones, tablets and small devices. | 2 ports of 12 W (5 V, 2.4 A) and 2 QC 3.0 ports of 18 W |
| USB-CPorts for laptops, phones and tablets. Power delivery up to 100 W can charge most laptops. | 2 ports, PD 100 W each |
| DC5521A small round DC connector used by routers, cameras and LED lights. | 2 ports, 36 W each (12 V, 3 A) |
| Car outletA 12 V socket like the one in a car, for car accessories. | 1 port, 120 W (12 V, 10 A); plus 1 RV output of 120 W (12 V, 10 A) |
| Pass-through chargingWhether it can power devices while it is itself being charged. | Yes: the manual describes a bypass mode that passes mains power to the loads while charging |
| Charging | |
| AC chargingHow fast it charges from a wall socket. Higher means a shorter wait. | 120 V: 1,800 W maximum (fast) or 600 W (slow), set with the fast/slow switch; 240 V: up to 3,000 W |
| Time to charge from the mainsHow long a full charge takes from a wall socket. | Approximately 3 hours 35 minutes (specification table); the features text says 1.7 hours with pure AC and 1.6 hours with AC plus solar |
| Solar inputHow much solar panel power it accepts. A higher figure fills the battery faster on a sunny day. | 1,000 W maximum, 12 to 60 V, 20 A, through an XT60 port |
| Solar charging timeHow long a full charge takes from solar panels, in the conditions the maker names. | Approximately 5 hours 45 minutes (specification table); the manual says at least 5.2 hours with 1,000 W of panels |
| Car chargingCharging from a car's 12 V or 24 V socket while driving. Slow, but useful on the road. | 12 V at 8 A or 48 V at 10 A |
| Backup switchover (EPS)What happens when the grid fails. EPS means it takes over automatically. | Under 10 ms (UPS function) |
| Solar and off-grid | |
| Works with solar panelsWhether you can charge it from solar panels. Yes means a built-in solar input or a compatible solar setup; read the detail for the voltage and power limits. | Yes: a solar input of up to 1,000 W, 12 to 60 V. |
| Off-grid useWhether the maker describes it running with no grid connection at all, for example in a cabin, van or off-grid home. Backup only means it covers power cuts but needs the grid the rest of the time. | Yes: it runs devices with no grid connection when charged by solar panels; Oukitel markets it for home backup, emergencies and off-grid getaways. |
| Housing and warranty | |
| Dimensions (L × W × H)Check the space before you buy, including room around it for airflow and cables. | 550 × 299 × 487 mm (21.7 × 11.8 × 19.2 in), as listed (Oukitel does not say which side is which) |
| WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it. | 52.5 kg (115.74 lb) on the product page; the manual's parameter table says 53 kg |
| Operating temperatureThe range it is rated to work in. Cold and heat can reduce performance. | Charging 0 to 40 °C; discharging -10 to 40 °C |
| Wheels and handleBuilt-in wheels and a pull handle make a heavy unit easier to move. | Durable wheels and an ergonomic retractable pull handle |
| Protection ratingIP ratings show protection from dust and water. IP55 and IP65 are rated for outdoor-style exposure; check the installation guidance. | Not stated |
| Noise levelFan noise while working. | Not stated |

The estimate assumes 85% of the rated capacity is usable after conversion losses. OUKITEL does not state this figure, so we use a cautious assumption. Real running times vary with temperature, battery age and how each device draws power.

Rules where you live
A portable power station is not wired into your home, so it is simple to use almost anywhere. This model is built for 120/240 V split-phase supplies, so check that it matches the sockets and voltage where you live. Connecting one to your home circuits to power the house is different, and the rules for that vary by country. See our country guides for the rules, incentives and prices where you live.

Where this information comes from
We have not tested the P5000 Plus. Every figure above comes from Oukitel Power's product page (Specs and FAQ), the user manual for the US version and Oukitel Power's warranty policy, last checked on 13 November 2026. The manual has no text layer, so we read it from the pages. This is the P5000 Plus, not the earlier P5000 or P5000 Pro. A value Oukitel does not state is shown as not stated.
We do not show prices, because they change often and differ between sellers.

Common questions about OUKITEL P5000 Plus
Does the OUKITEL P5000 Plus support both 120 V and 240 V?
Yes. Oukitel says it has 120/240 V split-phase output: up to 1,800 W per 120 V output area and up to 3,600 W at 240 V.
Can the P5000 Plus be used for home backup in a power cut?
Oukitel says yes: with 5,120 Wh and a switching time of under 10 ms it can keep essential appliances running. In backup mode output is limited to 1,800 W at 120 V or 3,000 W at 240 V.
Is the P5000 Plus the same as a home battery?
No. It is a portable power station that you plug devices into. An installed home battery is wired into your electrics by an electrician. See our guide to plug-in and installed home batteries.
