Same 5kWh, two different jobs: one rolls to the load, the other gets wired into the house.
The Anker SOLIX S5000 is a 97 lb station on wheels: 5,024Wh, 4,500W at 120V or 240V, a TT-30 for an RV, 3,000W of solar and a 10ms UPS. The EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus is a fixed indoor home battery: 5,017.6Wh, 7,200W at 120/240V split-phase, 8,000W of solar, an IP20 rating, no wheels, and a Smart Home Panel 10 that backs up 10 circuits. If you want one box to move around, the S5000 is the honest fit; if you want a battery wired to the house, with the output EcoFlow says starts a 3-ton central AC and room for a big solar array, look at the TITAN.
Below: every difference with numbers, a 20-second calculator for your own gear, seven modeled situations, and what published reviews found. As of November 1, 2026, no independent review of the TITAN had been published, so every TITAN figure on this page comes from EcoFlow’s US product page.
Same 5kWh battery. The S5000 is a station on wheels with a TT-30, a 10ms UPS and a 6,000-cycle rating. The TITAN 5000 Plus is a floor-standing indoor battery with 7,200W at 120/240V, 8,000W of solar and a 10-circuit home panel.
- you move it between rooms, garage or RV
- you need a TT-30

- you want circuits backed up automatically
- you need 7,200W at 120/240V
- you’ll run 8,000W of solar
The five differences that decide it
Both store about 5kWh of LFP battery, deliver 240V, expand to about 30kWh with five extra batteries and carry a 5-year warranty. These five gaps decide it.
Will it run your setup? Check in 20 seconds
Estimates use 85% usable capacity and 70% of rated solar output. Real results vary with temperature, inverter load, shade and appliance cycling. Fridge and freezer watts are daily averages and do not include compressor startup surges.
Runtime by appliance, one at a time
Simple energy estimates, not measured runtimes. About 4,270Wh usable on the S5000 and 4,265Wh on the TITAN 5000 Plus.
Practically a tie: the S5000 and the TITAN 5000 Plus hold the same energy, within 1%.
Same appliance, same watts: the gap is always the size of the battery.Get our Black Friday alerts for power stations

What each one costs today
The Anker SOLIX S5000 costs $1,199.01 less than the EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus and still holds 6Wh more.
Prices refresh daily from Anker US and EcoFlow US.Both store about 5kWh, so price per Wh tracks the sticker price. The cards skip cost per cycle: EcoFlow publishes no cycle rating for the TITAN. Budget for installation too if you want whole-home backup: the TITAN’s Smart Home Panel 10 needs a licensed electrician, and the S5000 needs a transfer switch or an inlet box for the same job.
Seven modeled situations, worked out
Same formula as the calculator above, with no expansion battery. The fridge averages 60W, about 525kWh a year; that average does not include compressor startup surges.
24-hour outage, essentials only
A tie: same battery, almost two days each. ESS News ran a large fridge plus phones for 61.5 hours on an S5000 during a real PG&E shutoff.
A 3-ton central AC
EcoFlow says the TITAN 5000 Plus starts a compatible 3-ton central AC without a soft starter; it hasn’t published a surge figure. The S5000 runs 4,500W at 240V and peaks at 8,000W for one second, so check your unit’s starting draw or add a soft starter.
Moving it around
The S5000 has wheels and a handle; ESS News found it wobbly on grass. The TITAN has no wheels, and EcoFlow wants it in a dry, ventilated indoor spot.
Refill from solar, each at its maximum
With a full array, the TITAN refills in under an hour of strong sun. Few roofs carry 8,000W; with 3,000W of panels both take the same time.
120V and 240V loads together
The S5000’s guide says it delivers 120V or 240V, not both at once. The TITAN 5000 Plus is split-phase, 120/240V together, with up to 5kW on either 120V leg, per EcoFlow.
Home office through an outage
Two workdays on either. The S5000 switches in 10ms; Bob Vila’s desktop PC kept running when it was unplugged. EcoFlow says the TITAN’s EPS switches within 10ms with gear plugged in, 20ms through the panel.
A garage at 20°F in January
Neither charges below 32°F. The S5000 runs down to −4°F, the TITAN down to 14°F, and EcoFlow only places the TITAN in a garage that is dry, ventilated and inside its temperature range.
Nine more differences, the spec sheet and the box
Smaller gaps that rarely decide the purchase, then the full specifications and what ships in the box.

06 · ChargingHow fast each one refills
Shorter bar, faster refill. Each row is scaled to its slower unit. EcoFlow hasn’t published charging times for the TITAN 5000 Plus, only a 7,660W maximum AC input.
S5000: ESS News saw 1.79kW for 2 h 49 min at 120VTITAN 5000 Plus: generator charging through the included AC cable, per EcoFlow
Our solar times divide capacity by 70% of the panel rating; real charging slows near full.
Every port, side by side
S5000
TITAN 5000 Plus
Practical consequence: the S5000 has the outlets of a station, with a TT-30 for an RV, an L14-30R and USB. The TITAN 5000 Plus has two 20A outlets and an L14-50R twist-lock, and is meant to feed the house through its panel; it has no USB and no TT-30.
08 · NoiseNoise: S5000 vs TITAN 5000 Plus
Both brands rate their unit near a whisper, at different loads: Anker gives the Anker SOLIX S5000 under 30dB at 2,000W, and EcoFlow the EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus under 39dB at 5,000W, both at 1 m.
Brand figures only. No independent dB measurement exists for either yet.Every figure we found, with its source
What reviewers heard: Charging was very quiet, even quieter than the smaller S2000 (ESS News); nearly silent running a portable AC, but the fans hum noticeably as the load rises (Bob Vila).
Measured by a tester Brand figure
- The TITAN lives in a utility room or garage; charge the S5000 at a lower rate in the app if it sits near a bedroom.
Cold and heat: S5000 vs TITAN 5000 Plus
For a cold garage, the Anker SOLIX S5000 keeps running down to −4°F; for heat, the EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus is rated to 113°F. Neither charges below freezing, and EcoFlow rates the TITAN IP20, for a dry, ventilated indoor spot.
Figures from the S5000 user guide (AS510) and the EcoFlow US TITAN 5000 Plus page.- Charge either one above 32°F: neither charges below freezing.
- Put the TITAN in a dry, ventilated indoor spot: EcoFlow rates it IP20.
App, UPS and smart features
The EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus is built around the house: a 10-circuit Smart Home Panel 10 and AC coupling with existing solar. The Anker SOLIX S5000 answers with a 10ms UPS you can plug into and a transfer switch option.
Both charge ahead of storms and follow time-of-use rates.Does it work with existing rooftop solar? With the Smart Home Panel 10 and a CT sensor, the EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus stores surplus from an existing grid-tied solar system. Anker lists no such feature for the Anker SOLIX S5000.
Does it work as a UPS? The Anker SOLIX S5000 switches in 10ms; Bob Vila’s PC kept running on it. EcoFlow says the EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus’s EPS switches within 10ms with appliances plugged in directly, and within 20ms through the Smart Home Panel 10; its spec table leaves the field blank.
Does it connect to a home panel? The EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus pairs with the Smart Home Panel 10, 10 circuits with automatic switchover, wired in by a licensed electrician. The Anker SOLIX S5000 feeds a transfer switch or an inlet box from its L14-30R, but not Anker’s Home Power Panel or the E10 system.
Does it prepare for storms? Both charge ahead of severe weather: Storm Guard on the Anker SOLIX S5000, storm mode on the EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus, which charges to 100% before a supported weather event.
Can it charge off-peak? Both follow time-of-use rates. The Anker SOLIX S5000 handles on-peak, mid-peak, off-peak and super off-peak periods; EcoFlow lists habit learning and 3-day solar forecasting on the EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus as a subscription feature.
Can you add a battery later? The Anker SOLIX S5000 takes up to five BP5000, 30.1kWh; the EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus up to five TITAN 5kWh Battery, 30kWh, with cables sold separately.
How does the app connect? Both use their brand’s app over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Warranty and support
Both carry 5 years. Anker lists the Anker SOLIX S5000 at 5 years; EcoFlow covers the EcoFlow TITAN 5000 Plus main unit, its extra batteries and the Smart Home Panel 10 for 5 years each.
Neither page states a registration step for these models.Subject to each brand’s warranty terms and eligibility.
Anker rates the S5000 at 6,000 cycles to 80%, or 10,000 to 60%: about 16 years at one full cycle a day. EcoFlow US doesn’t publish a cycle rating for the TITAN 5000 Plus.
- Keep your receipt for either one: both warranties follow the brand’s US policy.
- If you choose the TITAN with the Smart Home Panel 10, keep the electrician’s paperwork: the panel has to be wired in by a licensed installer.
What reviewers report
We have not lab-tested these two units. As of November 1, 2026, no independent review of the TITAN had been published, so every TITAN figure on this page comes from EcoFlow’s US product page. The S5000 side draws on two published hands-on reviews; each point gives the source, author and date.
