DJI Power 2000 Portable Power Station The DJI Power 2000 Portable Power Station is a great device for those who want ample power and capabilities without sacrificing portability. It has a large 2,048Wh battery, 3,000W of output, and a really nice selection of ports. Its 30-amp AC outlet can even power an RV!
When an outage occurs or you need power during your adventures, nothing is a lifesaver quite like a power station. I’ve been testing some of the best ones around, and the latest one I’ve had my hands on is the Power 2000 from DJI, the popular drone and gimbal maker.
While a very trusted brand in other industries, DJI isn’t widely recognized for its portable power stations, and the truth is previous models didn’t do much to differentiate themselves from the competition. But spoiler alert: this one is pretty cool. Let’s dig into the details and see if this will be your battery of choice.

Let’s start with the battery capacity, which is among the essential features of these massive battery beasts. The DJI Power 2000 Portable Power Station comes with a 2,048Wh battery. To put things into perspective, that’s enough to charge an average phone about 118 times, or a laptop 18 times. It can also run a microwave for 2.6 hours.
Additionally, it has a maximum stable output of 3,000W. High-power appliances like air fryers, microwaves, and kettles usually use about 1,200W to 1,800W, so this one can even be enough to run small to medium air conditioners.
Of course, I didn’t have time to charge my phone 118 times, but I did test it with other high-power appliances. I started with a couple at a time; I plugged in my microwave, kettle, and fridge simultaneously and then ran them all at the same time. This gave me an output of 2,000W on the battery, and it could run them all continuously for a bit under an hour — about 53 minutes, to be exact.
Still, that isn’t using it to its limits, right? So instead, I plugged a secondary power station (the Ampace Andes 1500) and limited its charge to about 830W. The idea was to get close to 3,000W. Again, I turned them all on, and the DJI Power 2000 powered them without a hiccup for nearly 35 minutes, outputting close to 2,850W. This is kind of unbelievable; it is a lot of power and output for a device of this size.
I also took it outside to power a Sylvox outdoor TV I’ve been testing recently. The TV uses a bit over 200W continuously, and using the DJI Power 2000, I would have been able to run it between eight to nine hours. I am busy, so I didn’t watch for that long, but that estimate is lovely!
