Usability
6.4 out of 10It stores 4,608 Wh, above the typical home backup unit and under the 5,000 Wh mark, so it scores 7 on capacity.
Its inverter is rated 6,000 W continuous at 240 V split-phase and 3,600 W at 120 V, with a 9,000 W surge, so it scores 8 on power output.
OUPES states a full charge in 84 minutes at 3,600 W on a 240 V cable sold separately, and solar charging tops out at 3,600 W across two inputs, so it scores 8 on recharging.
OUPES rates the cells for 4,000 cycles to 80 percent capacity, so it scores 8 on battery life.
It switches to battery in 20 ms and takes eight G5 batteries to a rated 41.4 kWh, but OUPES sells no transfer switch, inlet box or home panel for it, so it scores 5 on backup readiness.

Split-Phase 240 V from one unit, no OUPES transfer switch
The Guardian 6000 V2 is OUPES's 4,608 Wh LiFePO4 station with 120/240 V split-phase output from one unit, a 111.8 lb wheeled box that differs from the sold-out V1 mainly in its two solar inputs.
It suits a buyer who wants a well pump or dryer run at 240 V from one unit and will fit a third-party transfer switch, and who accepts a 70 to 75 W idle draw.

OUPES is the brand of Shenzhen Jiexun Energy Storage Co., Ltd., registered in 2021, and OUPES Inc of Rialto, California, sells its stations in the US.
It sells direct from oupes.com, through its own OUPES store on Amazon US, and as a marketplace seller on Walmart.com and Lowe's.com.
The OUPES Guardian 6000 V2 is a 4,608 Wh LiFePO4 station rated 6,000 W continuous at 240 V split-phase, with 7,200 W in Boost Mode and a 9,000 W surge, and 3,600 W continuous at 120 V, from four 120 V 20 A outlets, a TT-30R 30 A RV outlet, an L14-30R 120/240 V twist-lock, a 14-50R 50 A outlet and a 6-20R outlet, with a 140 W USB-C port and two 18 W USB-A ports. It takes 3,600 W on 240 V AC, which OUPES says fills it in 84 minutes on a 240 V cable sold separately, or 1,800 W on the 120 V cable in the box, and up to 3,600 W of solar charging from two XT60 inputs with separate MPPT controllers, each rated 2,100 W and 25 A at 16 to 165 V. OUPES rates the cells for 4,000 cycles to 80 percent capacity and states a 20 ms EPS switchover, with pass-through limited to 2,400 W and no 240 V output while charging from the grid. Up to eight G5 batteries, $1,190 each at oupes.com, take it to a rated 41.4 kWh, and OUPES sells no transfer switch, inlet box or home panel for it. It weighs 111.8 lb on wheels with a pull handle and measures 24.9 x 16.2 x 16.8 in. Against the sold-out Guardian 6000 V1 it keeps the same battery, inverter, outlets and expansion and changes the solar input from one 2,100 W, 15 A Anderson input to two XT60 inputs, adds over-the-air firmware updates and drops the V1's 12/24 V XT90 output.
