Renogy has made its foray into the market of home and portable backup power systems with an awesome product. Called Renogy Lycan Power Box 5000, it is an all-in-one portable energy storage system. With its 4.8kWh and 3500W output, it will be competing with the alternatives from Bluetti and EcoFlow.
The Lycan power box comes with a rated output of 120V and so it can power up most of your heavy-duty home appliances. The 3500W inverter can surge at 7000W to smoothly run big appliances. You can expand it up to 19.2kWh with Reongy’s 48V 50Ah smart LifePO4 batteries.
Unlike EcoFlow Delta Pro and Bluetti AC500, Lycan 5000 is more like a massive home backup system than a portable power solution. However, it features heavy-duty crate wheels for easy moving, but it sports only a few AC outlets. There are no USB, DC, or other small power ports.

Renogy Lycan 5000 Power Box
The Lycan 5000 is an ideal solution for a 24/7 uninterrupted power supply in your home or office. You can connect the power box to your home’s main switchboard to fight regular power outages.
Fast charging is another attraction of Lycan 5000.
It will take only 1.3 hours to fully charge the backup system from a combination of solar panels and AC input. The smart MPPT algorithm makes it charge faster from solar panels.
As stated above, Lycan is a modular power station. You can expand its 4.8Wh storage capacity up to a huge 19.2kWh using Renogy’s 48V/50A LFP batteries. Also, it highlights built-in safety protection to keep your devices and home safe.
The Renogy device has a size of 32.9 x 20.0 x 28.5 in and it weighs 264.6 lbs. With its stronger crate wheels, you can move it smoothly anywhere. The three integrated AC outlets will let you run your AC appliances directly from the power box.
Renogy Lycan 5000 Price and Release Date
Renogy has put on display Lycan 5000 at Intersolar North America 2022. It has already started to accept pre-orders for the device with a deposit of $199.99. Its original price is $4300, but you can get it with an early bird discount of $430 if you rush to pre-order it now.
Final Thoughts
That has been our take on the much-touted Renogy Lycan 5000 Power Box.
With its high output, inverter power, and modular profile, it is certainly Renogy’s reply to Bluetti AC300 and AC500 and EcoFlow Delta Pro. That is, there is going to be tough competition among these brands in heavy-duty home backup power systems.
Of course, more brands are likely to join the fray of heavy-duty home power stations. AllPowers is reportedly working with a Monster Pro power station with a huge output and inverter power. Anyway, share your thoughts about Lycan Power Box in the comments below.
