GoKawiilDJI Power 1000 V2 DJI's Power 1000 V2 is a well-executed power station with mature features, good app support, and extras that are going to especially appeal to DJI drone users.
Portable power stations are one of those familiar pieces of modern tech that nonetheless still manage to feel a little magic; the idea of powering everything from handheld electronics to your home’s largest appliances using the same compact box would have seemed impossible just a couple of decades ago. But not only is it our present reality, the solutions available are getting better all the time.
It’s been a couple years since I checked out a new power station, and to learn what manufacturers have been up to, I recently spent some time getting to know the new DJI Power 1000 V2 ($399 at Amazon). I wasn’t disappointed.
All the hardware you need for power on-demand

As you should probably grok from the name, we’re talking about a 1,000Wh-class solution — technically, 1,024Wh here. That gives the Power 1000 the capacity it needs to run power-hungry devices for hours on end. And with 2,600W max output, even the most demanding hardware (like heaters) can be made mobile.
DJI has outfitted the Power 1000 with ports sufficient for powering two USB-A, two USB-C, and four AC devices. It can hit 24W on the USB-A ports, and the USB-C ports will handle up to 140W (a piece) for keeping your laptop happy. The AC outlets will deliver 20A each, which will cover any domestic appliance you can throw at it.

While this is a solidly outfitted mid-sized power station that looks ideal for helping out with outside power during a garden party or camping weekend, it’s also got some extras that will appeal specifically to users already tapped in to DJI’s ecosystem. Well, parts of it, anyway!
The specialized hardware is all about support for DJI drone batteries.
