DJI Power 1000 vs DJI Power 500
Technical comparison · Compact
Same family, same LFP cells, same 20 ms UPS switchover and the same 50 minutes to reach 80%: the Power 1000 has twice the battery and more than twice the power, at the cost of nearly twice the weight. Power figures are manufacturer-declared values.

How we assign awards →The differences that matter
- Capacity: 1.024 kWh against 0.512 kWh → at the same load the Power 1000 lasts twice as long.
- Continuous output: 2200 W against 1000 W → only the Power 1000 handles loads above 1000 W.
- Solar input: 800 W against 300 W → the Power 1000 makes use of more panels, so it recharges from the sun in far less time.
- Weight: 13 kg against 7.3 kg → both reach 80% in 50 minutes, but the Power 1000 stores twice the energy in that time.
Which one to choose
Choose DJI Power 1000 if…
you need to run loads above 1000 W, up to 2200 W, or make a medium load last longer with 1.024 kWh. With 800 W of panels and 1.2 kW from the wall the battery fills quickly, and the 140 W USB-C port charges a laptop without an adapter. The trade-off: 13 kg to move around.
Choose DJI Power 500 if…
1000 W is enough for a laptop, lights and small appliances and you want 7.3 kg to carry around. You accept a 0.512 kWh battery, 300 W of solar at most and grid charging at 0.54 kW; the USB-C port reaches 100 W.
