Battery

Battery chemistry LFP packs tolerate regular charging to 100%; NMC packs are usually happier kept below it.

LFP

Usable capacity What you can actually take out, which is less than the figure on the box.

2.52 kWh

Continuous output The same 2,500 W as the Pro Max.

2.5 kW

Can be added to Whether you can bolt on more capacity later.

Yes

Expands to Five BP2500 modules on one tower.

15.12 kWh

0 kW

Smart meter Jackery's own meter, a TIC, D0 or P1 reader, or a Shelly Pro EM-50 or Pro 3EM.

-20 °C to 55 °C

Bypass output Jackery quotes up to 2,990 W through the socket.

2.99 kW

Weather rating The IP rating: the first digit is how well it keeps dust out, the second water. Below IP65 it wants to be indoors. Ranked as the higher number, though strictly a 7 is an immersion test where a 6 is a jets test, so one does not always include the other.

IP65

Warranty

10 years

Ethernet port A wired connection, which matters because these get fitted on outside walls and at the ends of drives, where the wifi is thinnest.

Yes

Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz only. A router that puts both bands under one name usually still gets it on; a 5 GHz network it cannot see is the commonest reason one of these will not pair.
