Shown in the photo is a DJI PowerStation working as a UPS to provide protected power to Wi-Fi and PC equipment. I'm using the new DJI product to replace an EcoFlow Delta 2 unit of comparable size (~1024WH), as the DJI product is silent versus the EcoFlow which periodically makes noise when charging. The DJI PowerStation competes against EcoFlow, Jackery, etc. DJI is well-known for drones, cameras and microphones all of which use purpose-built batteries designed to provide the most runtime possible in a cost-effective, small form-factor. This new PowerStation is equally as impressive as the DJI drones! Fit and finish is polished. Specs are better than competitors in the same price range. Outstanding! The new lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery technology is perfect for portable power when at off-grid locations, works in tandem with solar, wind, generator or other time-based power sources, and is a better mouse trap for uninterruptable power supplies (UPS)! Primary difference between 'common' Lithium Polymer (LiPo aka Lithium-Ion) batteries (used in phones, laptops, etc.) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries (used in this DJI Power Station) is the number of cycles or charge-discharge occurrences supported. The lower cost and more common LiPo batteries are typically good for 300 ~ 500 cycles, while the LiFePO4 batteries are good for >3000+ cycles. If you cycle the battery once per day, LiPo batteries are good for a year or two, whereas the LiFePO4 batteries are good for ~10 years!!! Note -- LiPo batteries in phones laptops and power-banks are infamous for swelling and getting hot - even catching fire or exploding - while the LiFePO4 batteries are considered much safer (albeit heavier and bulkier). I'm looking forward to more of these LiFePO4 products coming to market and driving prices down, as the technology is far better than what is commonly used in most traditional UPS batteries. Over the next few years it's likely that all UPS manufacturers (e.g., APC, CyberPower, etc.) will offer LiFePO4 products. The DJI PowerStation specs state 20ms switch-over from line power to battery when used as a UPS, while the EcoFlow Delta2 specs state 40ms for switch-over. Both products work great as replacements for traditional UPS, but DJI wins as the quietest product, making no discernable noise when charging. As the price continues to come down over time, I'm installing these PowerStations everywhere I previously used a UPS to protect valuable electronic devices and provide protected power during outages. Love it! Read more
This power unit is a camping enthusiast's dream! It's really useful! Let me share my experience of using it in camping. First, its charging speed is extremely fast. When camping, we often face the situation that we may lack battery level, but with Power 500, this is no longer a problem. Yesterday we were camping in the wild and it was getting dark, but I still wanted a rechargeable light to illuminate and tell stories to the kids. I just plugged the power 500 into a household plug and it was fully charged in less than an hour, which is super fast! So we were able to enjoy our camping night in peace. And it works so quietly without any noise! More importantly, it can fast charges my drone with separately-sold charging cables, allows my to enjoy extended flight time. By the way, the Power 500's lightweight design and convenient handle also allows me to carry it anywhere and use it easily. When I needed to use an electric inflator to inflate the air bed, I directly connected the Power 500 to the inflator and completed the inflating task, and my kids also had a lot of fun. Moreover, its two 100W USB-C interfaces can be connected to computers and mobile phones. I like this design, helps us keep in touch outdoors, which is so convenient! Overall, the performance of the DJI Outdoor Power 500 in camping really impressed me! The fast charging speed, 1000W output, portability and reliability can fully meet my various needs in outdoors activities. I plan to use this as often as I need to. If you are also a camping enthusiast, I highly recommend this product. Have fun! Read more
This is a beast. I got this on a great Black Friday sale a year ago. Still chugging along wonderfully. I work from home in an area where power can go out frequently and it can operate my three monitors, laptop, electric powered standing desk, wifi modem, and refrigerator for about 2-3 hours. Now if you only power one of those things at a time, it can keep one of those running for a long time for power to come back. Great for beach trips and camping too where it’s tough to get power. Durable, charged quick, heavy but portable, and not too chunky in size. Read more
Great power station. It’s smaller than the 1000, not really heavy but portable is pushing it. Great power output. No issues with the power station yet. Read more
Recently I bought the DJI Power 1000 Portable Power Station. I think it totally exceeded my expectations especially during the road trips. 2200W Output Power: one of the most outstanding features of Power 1000 is the 2200W output. It can handle almost all my devices like coffee machine, kettle, freezer and so on. My wife and I always spend our holidays RVing. In the evening we can use the car refrigerator, camping light, and charge phones as well as OP 3 at the same time, and it still has power left in the morning. Its 1024Wh battery capacity can keep my appliances charged for longer. I can keep refrigerator running for nearly 20 hours, which is totally enough for a camping in the weekend. Recharge quickly and easily: Recharging Power 1000 is very easy. I always charge it with grid power at home when I packed up my bags. It can be fully recharged in just about 1 hour. Quiet: We used to get problems with the noise of other power stations. When other generators power some high-watt appliances, they are very noisy and would disturb our sleep especially when we spend the night in the RV. But this one is much quieter. When it works, I can hardly hear its noise. Although it might not an important feature for all people, I think it would be attractive to all RV and camping enthusiasts. To my surprise, with all these amazing features, it's quite light and portable. Overall, it's a great purchase. Read more
