The Jackery FridgeGuard power station is an ultra-slim solution engineered with power outages in mind to help prevent an essential appliance from being rendered useless. The battery measures in at 2.6-inches in thickness to fit neatly on top of a refrigerator where it will go to work offering 1,024Wh of battery capacity to keep the appliance running for up to 15-hours in the event of a power outage. This will effectively prevent food spoilage when dealing with a power outage, depending of the length.
The Jackery FridgeGuard power station can be linked with an additional unit to offer up to 30-hours of backup power and is being sold as a Costco exclusive online and from the retailer in its warehouse locations.
