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.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Appliance Backup Power
- Compact batteries purpose-built for single appliances create new pathways for modular resilience products that protect household essentials during increasingly frequent grid disruptions.
- Ultra-slim Energy Storage
- Low-profile power stations designed to sit on or near existing appliances signal potential for space-efficient home energy systems that blend into everyday environments.
- Retail-exclusive Resilience Products
- Warehouse club exclusives around outage protection highlight how mass retailers can shape demand for accessible emergency energy solutions tied to common household pain points.
Sectors Adopting This
- Consumer Electronics
- Portable power brands are expanding beyond outdoor and recreational use cases into home-specific devices that support continuity for critical everyday electronics.
- Home Appliances
- Refrigerator-adjacent backup systems introduce a complementary category where appliance performance is enhanced through add-on energy security rather than built-in redesign.
- Energy Storage
- Residential battery innovation is moving toward targeted, lower-capacity formats that offer affordability and simplicity compared with whole-home backup installations.
