en.Wedoany.com Reported - Jackery has launched the FridgeGuard backup battery for refrigerators, which measures just 2.6 inches thick and is considered the world's thinnest refrigerator battery. Weighing 23 pounds (10.5 kg), it is easy to move and place, with flexible installation options. The product is designed with aesthetics in mind, making it easy to integrate into home decor.

The FridgeGuard has won the 2026 iF Design Award for its sleek and sophisticated design. Its integrated circular display on the front clearly shows remaining battery percentage, input power, remaining charging time, output power, remaining discharging time, UPS status, Wi-Fi status, Time-of-Use (TOU) mode, AC input/output status, battery status, and DC input status. Above the display, a small circular vent is provided for inverter heat dissipation. The silver metal finish is designed to complement stainless steel appliances and is molded into the casing for durability.

The FridgeGuard is controlled via the Jackery App, allowing users to monitor status, set delayed start times, and configure Time-of-Use (TOU) mode to save on electricity bills. The app supports managing the battery and other Jackery devices, providing power monitoring and smart energy management.

Installation of the FridgeGuard is simple: just plug it into an outlet and connect the refrigerator. It connects to 2.5 GHz Wi-Fi to use the Jackery App. The product can be placed on the floor, mounted on a stand, wall-mounted, or placed horizontally on top of the refrigerator. Its dimensions are 23.6 inches x 12.8 inches x 2.6 inches, allowing it to fit in various locations.

Designed specifically for refrigerator use, the FridgeGuard offers 800W continuous power and 1600W peak power to handle the high peak power demands of compressor startup. Jackery calls this FridgeSafe Technology, which includes ≤10ms UPS switching, delayed start, bypass mode, surge protection, and 1600W compressor-ready power.

The FridgeGuard has a capacity of 1024Wh and outputs via a single 110V outlet. An optional expansion battery can double the system capacity to 2048Wh, with the expansion battery weighing 19.8 pounds (9 kg). According to Jackery, the standard battery can power a full-size refrigerator for 15 hours, and the expansion battery doubles the runtime. When the battery is depleted and AC power is available, the device can bypass the battery to provide AC power directly without interruption.

In addition to refrigerators, the FridgeGuard can also be used with compressor-based air conditioning units. Furthermore, the battery can function as a UPS for sensitive equipment such as 3D printers, computers, and home theaters, with a switching time of less than 10ms and surge protection and grid anomaly protection.

The FridgeGuard is also suitable for home medical devices (such as CPAP machines) or applications like fish tanks that require continuous power supply. By integrating a DC input module, it can be charged using solar panels up to 500W or other DC power sources. If the solar panels use MC4 connectors, an MC4 to 8020 adapter is required. The DC input can be used simultaneously with the AC input to charge the battery at a combined total input power of up to 1300W.

The FridgeGuard has an IP20 rating, suitable for dry indoor environments, and can operate at full load for 15-20 minutes at 45°C (113°F).

The FridgeGuard uses cylindrical lithium iron phosphate cells, retaining over 70% capacity after 6,000 cycles (equivalent to 16 years of daily use). The system complies with UL1778, UL1741, and UL1973 safety certifications and uses UL94-5VA flame-retardant materials. Operating noise is below 40 decibels. The casing is made of UV-resistant PC+ABS material with a paint-free finish, is VOC-free, and is fully recyclable.

The FridgeGuard is available exclusively to Costco members at a price of $559.99, a 20% discount off the suggested retail price of $699.99. The expansion battery costs $399, the DC converter costs $89, and the wall-mounting kit costs $29. This price point is significantly lower per kilowatt-hour than the Tesla Powerwall or General Motors energy storage suite, and no electrician is required for installation.

As a point-of-use battery storage solution for major appliances, the FridgeGuard can continue to power appliances after a whole-home battery is depleted and effectively expands storage in applications requiring more battery capacity. Its plug-and-play setup facilitates easy installation and relocation, allowing apartment dwellers to benefit from time-of-use electricity rates.

The product's customer-centric design aims to eliminate aesthetic barriers to home backup batteries, and its plug-and-play installation avoids the cost of hiring an electrician. Combined with its price, sales channel, Costco's return policy, and a 5-year manufacturer's warranty, the FridgeGuard may drive adoption of home batteries and energy storage technology.
