Renogy Lycan 5000 Power Box - 4,800Wh Battery Capacity

Renogy Lycan 5000 Power Box is a wheeled energy-storage system built around a 4,800Wh lithium iron phosphate battery. Its large cabinet occupies a distinctly different space from compact travel power stations, with 3,500W of continuous AC output and a 7,000W peak rating.

Large Battery, High Output

The Lycan 5000 uses a 48V battery system with 100Ah rated capacity. Renogy's technical documentation lists a 4.8kWh energy rating, 4,500 cycles under specified test conditions, and a 120V AC output designed for 50Hz or 60Hz operation. The technical specification sheet lists the battery, output, cycle rating, and operating values.

Solar charging is rated at up to 4,400W through the integrated MPPT system. Renogy states a solar input range of 60V to 145V, while the MPPT operating range is 60V to 115V.

Built for Backup Systems

The enclosure measures 32.9 by 20.0 by 28.5 inches and weighs 264.6 pounds. An IP55 protection rating covers the cabinet, and the documented operating range is 14°F to 122°F. StorageReview identifies the Lycan 5000 as a whole-home UPS system with a 4.8kWh battery and 3,500W rated output.

The system can expand to 19.2kWh with compatible Renogy 48V 50Ah smart lithium iron phosphate batteries. That figure describes the expanded system, not the base unit, which remains rated at 4.8kWh.

Renogy's FAQ specifies two built-in batteries and identifies the AC receptacles as a NEMA 5-20R outlet and a TT-30R outlet. The same documentation states that the Lycan supports 120V output, but not split-phase or 240V output.

Where the Lycan Fits

Compared with a 3,600Wh portable power station, the Lycan's 4,800Wh base capacity is larger, while its 264.6-pound weight places it far outside the grab-and-go category. Independent comparison data lists the EcoFlow DELTA Pro at 3,600Wh and the Bluetti AC500 system at 5,120Wh. GreenCitizen compares the Lycan 5000 with other high-capacity backup systems by battery size, output, solar input, and price.

The practical fit is stationary backup, emergency power, RV service, and off-grid storage where 120V output is sufficient. The large dimensions, high weight, and lack of 240V support limit it for users who need frequent carrying or split-phase household power.

Manufacturer Information

Renogy is headquartered in Ontario, California, and presents the Lycan 5000 as an all-in-one energy-storage system for emergency power, outages, and off-grid homes.

Specifications and Use Case

The Lycan 5000 is a high-capacity portable power station with a 4,800Wh LiFePO4 battery, 3,500W continuous AC output, and 4,400W maximum solar input. Its 120V architecture suits North American power equipment, while its cabinet format favors a fixed location.

Its strongest technical distinction is the combination of high output and expandable storage. Its clearest constraints are weight, cabinet size, and the absence of split-phase and 240V output.
