A power outage doesn't care whether you're ready for it, and Jackery is betting Canadian households will pay to be ready anyway. The company is officially entering the Canadian market with two new home battery systems, the HomePower 2000 Plus v2 and HomePower 1000 v2, and both launch with meaningful price cuts on day one.
What's New
Jackery has sold portable power stations in Canada before, but this marks its first dedicated push into home backup with a Canada-specific launch. The HomePower 2000 Plus v2 and HomePower 1000 v2 go on sale July 31 through Jackery's own site and Amazon, positioned as an alternative to gas generators for outages, storms, and general grid instability.
The pitch leans hard on Canada's wildfire seasons and aging grid infrastructure as the reason to buy now rather than after the next blackout.
Why It Matters
This isn't a subtle rebrand of camping gear. Jackery built these two units specifically to sit in a kitchen or utility room and take over when the power drops, with expandable batteries and load prioritization built in rather than bolted on. That's a different pitch than the portable stations most people associate with the brand.
Canadian buyers also get something new alongside the hardware. Jackery is backing both units with a three-year standard warranty plus two additional years of extended coverage, five years total, which is a longer commitment than most home battery makers offer at this price tier.
Key Details
The HomePower 2000 Plus v2 starts at 2048Wh of capacity and scales up to 12kWh by stacking additional battery packs, with 2400W of rated output and 4800W of peak surge. Jackery says the baseline unit alone can run a fridge for 48 hours or an air conditioner for about 2.5 hours, and it charges fully from an 800W solar setup in under three hours. It's also 21 pounds lighter than the model it replaces.
The HomePower 1000 v2 is the smaller, connectivity-focused option, built around 1024Wh of capacity and 1500W of output with sub-10 millisecond switchover, fast enough that a router or modem shouldn't notice the grid went down. Jackery rates both units for 6,000 charge cycles, or about 16 years of use, using LiFePO4 battery chemistry.
Pricing:
- HomePower 1000 v2: CAD $1,199 retail, launching at CAD $699 (42% off) (Amazon/Jackery)
- HomePower 2000 Plus v2: CAD $2,599 retail, launching at CAD $1,599 (38% off) – Amazon/Jackery
Takeaway
Jackery is treating Canada less like a new storefront and more like a new category launch, backup power built for a grid that's getting less reliable, not just a battery for the trunk. The launch pricing on both units makes this a reasonable moment to jump in if backup power was already on your radar.
