EcoFlow just opened preorders for its Titan whole-home backup batteries - and the real prices won't land until November 3.
The lineup has three models - the Titan 5000 Classic, Titan 5000, and Titan 5000 Plus - all built around a 5,000Wh battery, with output ranging from 4kW on the Classic to 7.2kW on the Plus, enough to run a 3-ton central AC unit alongside a fridge, TV, and lights. These aren't meant for camping trips: EcoFlow pitches them as whole-home backup that can run washers, dryers, and HVAC systems, not just a phone charger. Pair the Titan 5000 or Plus with EcoFlow's Smart Home Panel 10 and they can also tie into an existing rooftop solar setup, turning the system into a bill-cutter instead of just outage insurance. Every model can add up to five expansion batteries for a 30kWh total.
Here's the catch: EcoFlow isn't giving firm prices yet, just ranges - roughly $2,000 for the base Classic alone and up to $7,000 for a Plus with installation and the Smart Home Panel - while the real numbers don't arrive until Nov. 3. Put down $50 now, though, and you lock in 5% off plus two free solar panels, with early-bird discounts reportedly worth up to $2,999 once pricing lands. Asking for a deposit before confirming a price is a bet that the eventual number will make the discount worth it - a bet you're making on EcoFlow's word, not a posted price tag.
If you're bracing for winter blackouts, the specs look solid on paper. Just don't mistake an early-bird coupon for a known deal.
