DJI announced the Power Expansion Battery 2000, a two kHh expansion for the DJI Power 1000, announced earlier this year. Up to five units can be connected to the DJI Power 1000 power station, giving it a consistent power supply at 2400 watts (up to 2600 W). Let’s dive in!
The DJI Power 1000 can power multiple devices at once, such as batteries, a drone, a smartphone, a laptop, and much more. It’s quiet and perfect for filming on location or in the field when power is either unreliable or unavailable. Alongside the unveiling of the DJI Power 1000 was the DJI Power 500.
The DJI Power 1000 features a 1024 Wh battery with a maximum AC output power of 2200 W. The device is quiet, too, generating only 23 dB of noise during standard recharging. This makes it ideal for filming compared to a generator charging batteries and devices. It’s also far more convenient than running to a car to recharge camera and monitor batteries.
Connecting the Power 1000 with up to five units of the Power Expansion Battery gives it five flexible options for power expansion. They include 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 kWh, resulting in 3,072 Wh, 5,120 Wh, 7,168 Wh, 9,216 Wh, and 11,264 Wh. It can also offer a consistent power supply of 2400 W and overclocked output at 2600 W.
Additionally, the DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000 allows the Power 1000’s recharging battery to reach 1500 W and 1024 kWh in only 46 minutes. This ensures power is available quickly, especially when filming in the field, in a remote area, or on location without a consistent or reliable power source.
The interface, screen, and buttons are located on the front of the unit. The sleek, compact design of both the DJI Power 1000 and the Power Expansion Battery 2000 allows them to be stacked, leaving a small footprint.
The DJI Home App is new and offers a streamlined user interface. The DJI Power 1000 can be monitored and controlled remotely with the app via the DJI Power Dongle and Bluetooth. This is a great way to keep an eye on the power station while filming without the need to step away.
The DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000 retails for $1,169 and is available now on DJI’s website. Meanwhile, the DJI Power 1000 costs $699, and you can get more information here.
If you find yourself frequently filming on location, in the field, or a remote area, both the DJI Power 1000 and the DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000 are a reliable and quiet power source to recharge batteries and devices. It can also be used for personal use, such as at home if the power goes out (driving 99% of appliances) or while camping.
What do you think of the DJI Power 1000 and the Power Expansion Battery 2000? Could you use both for a consistent power source when filming in locations without reliable power? Let us know in the comments below!
