Data from official source

Sheet curated by JouleSpecs — We check every spec sheet against the manufacturer's own documentation: each value carries its source and the date we read it. Published Sept. 22, 2026 · Data verified Sept. 22, 2026

DJI Power 500 is a compact power station, made more for the backpack or the trunk than a corner of the house: it weighs just over seven kilos and uses lithium iron phosphate cells, the chemistry that holds up best to daily cycles without losing capacity quickly.

It charges from a home outlet, from the sun with a dedicated adapter module, or from the car's cigarette lighter socket; with the right cable it also recharges the batteries of some DJI drones. It recognizes a power outage on its own and switches to the battery within a handful of milliseconds, but it's built for basic backup: it isn't suited to equipment that can't tolerate even an instant without power, such as servers holding important data in memory.

It's also controlled from the app over Bluetooth, but the physical controls on the panel are enough to turn the output on and read the charge level on the screen. It's built for anyone on the move: a weekend camping, a day of work away from an outlet, a small blackout that keeps the home router and computer running.

The rest of the data comes from one page on the manufacturer's site, cited row by row in the table above.

A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.

03 · Summary

Pros and cons

In favour

When power fails, it switches to the battery within a handful of milliseconds: connected devices stay on.
It also charges from the sun with the dedicated adapter, besides the outlet and the car's cigarette lighter socket.
The USB-C ports reach 100 W: enough for a laptop while working away from home.
With the dedicated cable, it also recharges the batteries of some DJI drones, handy for anyone who already uses them. source

Worth knowing

It only supports basic backup: not suited to equipment that can't tolerate even an instant without power.
The AC output turns off on its own if the load stays low for half an hour: for a fridge, the continuous output has to be turned on by hand. source
Solar charging needs the dedicated adapter module and panels, sold separately.
