- EcoFlow launched the Titan 5000, a three-model residential battery lineup that begins with a single 5 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) module and scales to 30 kWh by stacking additional modules.
- The 30 kWh configuration can power an average US home for two days off-grid, per EcoFlow, with longer runtime if HVAC use is minimized.
- The three models differ in output: the Titan 5000 Classic delivers up to 4 kW at 120V, while the Titan 5000 and Titan 5000 Plus offer 7.2 kW continuous power with both 120V and 240V split-phase output.
- The flagship Titan 5000 Plus reaches up to 10 kW of peak power when paired with solar, via EcoFlow's X-Fusion 2.0 PV Boost technology.
- The Titan 5000 and Plus can pair with the EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 10, which the company says lets homeowners add backup power without replacing their main electrical panel or enduring a lengthy installation.
- "Early bird" buyers can lock in bundle savings of up to $2,999 with a $50 pre-payment ahead of the Titan 5000's official November release.
- FCC authorizations for all three Titan 5000 systems are dated July 20 — eight days before the FCC's July 28 restrictions on foreign-produced inverters took effect.
Why it matters: EcoFlow's FCC authorizations landed on July 20, eight days before the FCC's July 28 restrictions on foreign-produced inverters kicked in — giving the Titan 5000 a regulatory clearance window competitors launching later may lack. For homeowners, the modular 5-to-30 kWh design and Smart Home Panel 10 compatibility target the cost-and-complexity trade-off EcoFlow's Brian Essenmacher says has historically kept families from whole-home backup.
