DJI POWER 1000 Review - Tested - How DJI's New Portable Power Stations Work?

Enjoy my review of the new power station from DJI. In this review I test the power 1000 specifically and put it through the gambit bit.ly/3Q6Uhsc
DJI has finally entered the portable power station ecosystem with their first attempt. Seems like a good start but I found a few common place tech standards missing in action.

Can't wait for your range test on this bad boy :)

[@masc6778]

Once again, your indepth review is well done, thanks you

[@AjaySingh-228]

Great review of the DJI Power 1000. I was wondering how well it would perform with multiple devices, and it seems like it handled everything you threw at it without a problem. Overall, this seems like a solid option for drone enthusiasts and anyone who needs a lot of portable power. Thanks for the review bro.

[@MrMikey1703]

Absolutely brilliant video. I learned some stuff about DC to AC conversion plus saw a terrific use case for this unit. I probably don’t need one, but I definitely want one after seeing this. 😊

[@travisrose2225]

This would be cool to have in the back of my car for camping and when I head out to the beach or hiking

[@markifi]

specific energy of this is only about 79 watthours per kilo, but with lithium ferrophosphate you could expect upwards of 2000 charge cycles before it starts to act up. it's well priced for what it is

[@battery_wattage]

DJI claims >70% remaining capacity after 4000 cycles when charged at 600W and discharged at 1000W. LFP doesn’t have problems until about

[@markifi]

yes@@battery_wattage "upwards of"

[@Raptor50aus]

I wonder if I could make fresh scones while at the rc field with this.

[@The_Privateer]

Thank you for *NOT* including a wireless charging pad. Wireless charging puts out massive amounts of RFI, heat, and is incredibly inefficient. It saddens me that so many things have some sort of wireless charging. It's literal crap, for the sake of convenience.

[@Lookin4Things]

Thanks!

[@Lev.com123]

Hi brother. I love flights with drone over water to islands. Can you please make one ! I saw some old ones on the channel

[@TobyCostaRica]

Why did they put the charge input on the front….come on man! Not having built in 12v is kinda disappointing.

[@kbcware]

Thanks for this review. Can you please check if it can be used as a UPS? Like connect a PC or sensitive electronics to the AC port (while charging), unplug, drain the battery, plug it back in? It looks like the AC port is turned off by default when you turn it on? It might be an issue if the battery runs out and the power comes back on -- the whole thing will not automatically switch on?

[@DustinDunnill]

Sorry I didn't see your question. Yes, use it as a UPS in all ways. Charging solar or AC everything works and keeps power to devices if AC or solar is cut 🍻

[@kbcware]

Thank you for your reply. If it drains, does the AC turn back on as soon as power goes back on?

[@DustinDunnill]

Can you be a Little more specific with this question?

[@kbcware]

@@DustinDunnill I'm wondering if I can plug my home PC to this when I'm travelling (I connect remotely to the PC). Suppose there's an extended power interruption and the battery drains. The PC turns off. Then after a while the power comes back on. Does the AC output (and thefore the PC) turn back on? Or somebody has to physically press the AC button again on the power station? If it automatically resumes AC output again, it could be an excellent use case for servers -- the industrial grade UPS are very expensive for small businesses

[@DustinDunnill]

Got it. I'll give it a test and let you know. I am guessing it needs a physical turn back on but it will be interesting to find out. I really wish they included WiFi in this one. I have several WiFi capable PowerStations where you can control them remotely from anywhere as long as they are connected to the net.

[@jamestran347]

Should use a vacumm cleaner 2400w for test an ironing 2400 test

[@fredhammond9597]

How much does the whole thing cost?can you the power for your homes?😮😊

[@jamesabbott3052]

Not sure if anyone commented on this yet - can you charge it via solar and use it to power devices at the same time? Thanks.

[@shawndonadieu4084]

yes it can，they have an external gadget just for the solar input

[@ecliqxse9591]

I wonder if they can shipped that to Hawaii

[@rotz357]

Will it discharge itself to storage percent after a couple days?

[@DustinDunnill]

No it maintains it's charge for a while at least. I've had it sitting @ 80% for a week turned off and it's still at 80%. The LFP battery tech does not degrade like Li-Ion or LiPo 🍻

[@Powerpickle68]

Does it work while recharging it ? Meaning pass through

[@DustinDunnill]

Yes

[@Solley2010]

I wonder what the price of these are going to be when they come out .. looks perfect for charging up my drones

[@PowderMill]

$699 for the 1000 model Dustin reviewed! But.. it has to be ordered from DJI site w/free shipping and delivery date within 7-10 days Promo pricing for the first few weeks…. Regular price is $1295 according to my friend who works at a local camera shop. Supposedly the 500 model is not much less. BUT… They nickel and dime you for everything else. Carrying Case $100 MPPT solar charge controller option $69 Mavic 3 charger $22 DC (cigarette lighter female “jack” to power DC gear w/cig lighter plug) cable $39 DC vehicle (cig lighter plug) charging cable $49 Care Refresh AC Flyaway protection… only $1500. 😆. Sorry.. couldn’t resist that one.

[@PowderMill]

I’m going to order one today! (Only because of the price) Mostly for the “UPS” feature for my TV and home theater gear and Mavic-3 battery charging on the road. I have 2 Mavic 3’s (wife has one and I have one) and 8 total batteries, but we spend summers at our shore house which has power failure issues non-stop. I have Honda EU2200i generators, but they’re too heavy to lug around and fuel is an issue. (And costlier now that “Bidenomics” and the destruction of America = currently in play) Great Review AS ALWAYS! Thanks @Dustin

[@PowderMill]

I’ve gotta think DJI’s battery quality will be far better than most other brands of battery bank/power station gear. I’ve had 6-8 DJI drones over the years with 4-6 batteries for each. The only problem I had? Original FPV “potato” Drone battery is dead, a few Mavic-2 pro batteries had “swelling” and a Mavic-3 battery that won’t charge above 2 bars. That’s pretty good in my opinion.

[@markifi]

@@PowderMill they are tricky people, they charge their cells they use for their quadcopters to 4.5 volts. (source: either madrc or bardwell but don't remember which one) this is one of the things that contribute to the excellent flight times. in light of that the low rate of failure you've been experiencing is even more impressive actually

[@DustinDunnill]

It's a pretty good promo price. I just really wish it had WiFi or Bluetooth capability 🍻

[@fj1100mark]

How can you eat toast without buttering it first Dustin?

[@DustinDunnill]

😂 agreed. It was so dry and I was thinking of butter 🍻

[@danielsoutdoors]

Can you monitor status via an App?

[@DustinDunnill]

No, Probably my main con with dji's new PowerStations is the lack of wireless connectivity as mentioned in video 🍻

[@neooneeightytwo]

Doesn't have wifi or bt

[@danielsoutdoors]

@@DustinDunnill bummer

[@neooneeightytwo]

Mhm. Interesting. As long as they get the pricing right... there's such a broad market for these things nowadays. Bi-directional ports + proprietary connectors -

[@DustinDunnill]

They are on sale as a promo for release at $699 for a few weeks I think. Normal price is $1k 🍻

[@neooneeightytwo]

​@@DustinDunnillgreat review man. Not too bad considering the capacity im not sold on the proprietary adapters though. Build quality and everything else is nice though.

[@johnsoncityaerialphotograp7201]

That was the first thing I thought before watching the video was what kind of propriety connectors there were. Looks nice though

It need solar panel input that would be perfect

[@JasperEjoc]

looks like a DJI drone but doesn't fly 😂

[@user-si7fj5rh5u]

Depends how strong you are

[@mrinmoybanik5598]

You mean a dji ostrich!😂😂😂

[@volkangezgic9016]

The vehicle should have had a cigarette lighter outlet and a light. And most importantly, exit portals and solar panel input had to be universal. It could have been XT60.. It is difficult to understand the relevant departments of this manufacturer. They must not have calculated that product sales would decrease. DJI seems to have forced people to buy their cables. Preferably, I would buy the original cable of such products. But in case of urgent need, universal ports that can be found everywhere are a must. It's not suitable for me, I definitely won't pay money. I will look at the new models of Ecoflow or Bluetti. Most models of brands such as Ecoflow and Bluetti additionally have a UPS feature and you get what you pay for.

[@saltyexxer8253]

Be cool if you could charge it with solar

[@fj1100mark]

It’s £879 in the UK that’s $1095

[@bkiism]

the battery is also reminiscent of the drones, yes you have put a toster and a water heater.. 21 min hahahhaha same like my mini3 pro fly time

[@Austech]

Coming soon.....DJI POWER 1000 V2. Comes with bluetooth and has the power input on the side. Only $500 more !

[@OscarTphotography]

Un cooked toast 😂

[@GaryScottPhotographer]

Yeah, another 13 Kilo's to hump around and it's too expensive for what it is. But thanks for the info

[@DustinDunnill]

I think the intro $699 price is a good deal honestly. They also make a half sized for the picky folk 😂🍻

[@ricardopr54]

I'm not buying this... Thanks for the video...😁👍🏾

[@AcCeSsDeNiEd65]

I thought this was some late April fool's joke

[@jonmurph589]

Plot twist: it's the new battery for the Mini 5

[@DustinDunnill]

😂 when DJI releases a giant wing this would be it's universal power source. Land from a recon mission and make a cup of coffee 🍻

[@Mark-jb9hx]

Anker SOLIX is still the better option.

[@DustinDunnill]

Speaking of the Anker.... I was using it recently to power my fridge in a 12 hour power outage and the Bluetooth connectivity shuts off after a half day. So you have to physically turn it back on to use app. This got annoying so I mentioned it to Anker. They said it was to save power. But it does this no matter what mode it's in. I mentioned It would be better to have it shut off only in "power saving mode" or even better, give us the ability to set a time. We shall see if my input is seen in an update. If the PowerStation is tucked away out of reach this gets very annoying when trying to monitor from app. At least Anker has wireless IOT capability though 😂🍻

[@Nicedesk]

All these "reviews" fail to address is solar charging. You'll need an external DJI MPPT charger that only accepts XT60 connections.

[@DustinDunnill]

Except is was addressed in this review 🍻

[@The_Privateer]

Does it FPV? Does it take Glock mags?

[@narongrachmareongsit1978]

[@beatsaberboi8237]

first hahaha

[@markybyeah]

Nowhere near close to first

[@IlincaDenis]

Am I the first one to comment?🤔

[@myfpv6813]

What a wasted oportunity :/ if DJI would do a normal powerstation it would be a good choice, but now going (forcing user to buy adapters! They are not coming in package) to diferent port, kicking mppt outside - no point using it :/ a normal xt60 or anderson and 12-60v range would fit all panels combinations, we already have :/ a big No No from my side

[@IM35461]

Firmware updates only via Windows or MAC using DJI Assistant program as it has no Wi-Fi or BT.

[@DustinDunnill]

Yes, definitely another con in my book. Including wireless connectivity would have made it so much better 🍻

[@MD-kn3lk]

Bluetti is better.

[@markifi]

i'm sure not many of these batteries are without problems and simply searching "bluetti problems" reveals many, but judging this to be even worse is a bit premature. give it 3 years, then we'll see what's up

[@DustinDunnill]

Bluetti is recently getting better but I've had 2 of their PowerStations that had issues and would not charge from AC port.

[@Gorabis]

Sponsored video?

[@IggyBiggy]

Hate DJI as a company, so I definitly wont buy this. I do buy there FPV products (for now) theyre the best for transmission, only thing they got going for them. Evil Company.

Been looking at the anger power stations but when this came on my radar i waited, as i have 6 dji drones….. specs are fabulous, but the fact they don’t supply the special cable in pack or offer, say a combo pack like the do with the fly more combos is a little disappointing…. Given that tho, with fact i have the drones it makes sense, but ill wait for deals being done
