Jackery Brings Slim FridgeGuard Refrigerator Backup Battery to Canada
The 1,024Wh battery is making its Canadian debut through Costco, with a listed price of CAD $699.99. Jackery says it can keep a refrigerator running for up to 15 hours.
Jackery is bringing its FridgeGuard refrigerator backup battery to Canada through Costco, offering a slim unit designed to remain connected between a wall outlet and a refrigerator before an outage begins.
The company announced the Canadian rollout Thursday. FridgeGuard is listed at CAD $699.99 through Costco, with arrivals at select warehouse locations scheduled for November 18 through 21. Availability through Jackery Canada's website and Amazon.ca is set to follow, with preorders opening November 24 ahead of a December 11 launch.
The battery has a 1,024Wh capacity and measures 2.6 inches thick. Jackery says it can provide up to 15 hours of refrigerator backup, or up to 30 hours with an additional battery. Actual runtime depends on the appliance and operating conditions.
According to Jackery, the unit switches to backup power in 10 milliseconds or less and provides up to 1,600 watts of peak output to handle a refrigerator compressor starting. Bypass mode sends grid power directly to the appliance once the battery is charged, limiting unnecessary cycling.
The 23-pound unit can be placed on the floor, mounted on a bracket or mounted on a wall. Jackery says it can also be recharged from compatible solar panels or a running vehicle during a longer outage.
The announcement marks a Canadian expansion of FridgeGuard, not the product's first worldwide introduction. The specifications and performance claims are supplied by Jackery and have not been independently tested for this report.
