After launching its first moveable energy stations final 12 months, DJI simply launched the Power 2000 with double the capability, extra output energy, and massive scalability.
Not like a hard and fast Tesla Powerwall answer, DJI’s followup to the Power 1000 I reviewed last year is designed to scale in help of your day-to-day power wants regardless of the place you go whereas additionally providing the quickest charging instances to your DJI drones.
For instance, you’ll be able to take the Energy 2000 alongside to a job website or weekend barbecue. Add photo voltaic panels and some growth batteries for longer car-camping journeys or a vanlife summer season, after which stack on a number of extra batteries if you return house to supply hours of house backup in the course of the subsequent blackout emergency.
The Energy 2000 is constructed round a 2048Wh LFP battery and 3000W inverter making this a mid-level unit. It comes slathered in ports, together with two 140W USB-C, two 65W USB-C, 4 USB-A, and 4 AC outputs (the US mannequin swaps one jack for a 30A RV outlet). It additionally encompasses a pair of DJI’s dongle-loving SDC ports to quick cost DJI drones; add outputs like a 12V socket and inputs for photo voltaic panels; or to attach certainly one of DJI’s Tremendous Quick Automotive Chargers to faucet into photo voltaic and/or the surplus charging capabilities of your automotive’s alternator. All of the ports could be monitored and managed contained in the DJI Residence app.
For house homeowners, these proprietary SDC ports can be used to daisy chain as much as ten of DJI’s current Power Expansion Battery 2000 modules again to the Energy 2000. That’s a formidable 10:1 ratio for an influence station (most are 2:1 or 6:1 max on this class) for 22kWh of whole saved power capability. A typical US house consumes about 29.2kWh per day, however not every device is needed during a blackout. Vanlifers require far much less capability and energy — I exploit about 1.6kWh per day in my very own van.
The Energy 2000 can pull as much as 2200W from a regular wall jack to cost its inner battery from zero to full in about 75 minutes. It may be charged extra slowly at a fairly quiet 30dB if the noise produced by the interior cooling followers is a priority. Within the occasion of an outage, the Energy 2000 encompasses a very quick 0.01 second cutover to behave as a UPS to your most delicate electronics.
By constructing its 22kg / 48.5lb Energy 2000 techniques round comparatively light-weight (16.5kg / 36.4lb) 2kWh growth modules and off-loading occasionally used interfaces, DJI’s Energy 2000 answer needs to be simpler to maneuver round than competing 3kWh battery techniques from Anker, Bluetti, EcoFlow, and Jackery. These units, nevertheless, are extra suited to supporting houses, even when these houses have wheels.
For instance, the Energy 2000 lacks a high-amperage output to instantly energy 12V RV electrical techniques, and DJI doesn’t provide a subpanel choice that integrates instantly into your own home’s electrical system to intelligently offset your power prices. However these are tradeoffs I think about many will fortunately make within the identify of elevated portability as long as they’ll keep away from having to purchase too many proprietary SDC dongles (which may simply get misplaced). And given DJI’s speedy embrace of the class, I wouldn’t be shocked to see these superior choices made obtainable sooner or later as the corporate’s Energy lineup matures.
The DJI Power 2000 is offered right this moment beginning at $1,299 / €1,399. Maxing out the system with ten growth batteries will price near $10,000.
