After launching its first transportable energy stations final 12 months, DJI simply launched the Power 2000 with double the capability, extra output energy, and large scalability.
In contrast to a hard and fast Tesla Powerwall resolution, 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 on your DJI drones.
For instance, you may take the Energy 2000 alongside to a job website or weekend barbecue. Add photo voltaic panels and some enlargement batteries for longer car-camping journeys or a vanlife summer time, after which stack on just a few extra batteries if you return dwelling to supply hours of dwelling backup throughout 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 includes 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 Automobile 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 House app.
For dwelling homeowners, these proprietary SDC ports will also 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 dwelling consumes about 29.2kWh per day, however not every device is needed during a blackout. Vanlifers require far much less capability and energy — I take advantage of about 1.6kWh per day in my very own van.
The Energy 2000 can pull as much as 2200W from an ordinary 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 includes a very quick 0.01 second cutover to behave as a UPS on your most delicate electronics.
By constructing its 22kg / 48.5lb Energy 2000 methods round comparatively light-weight (16.5kg / 36.4lb) 2kWh enlargement modules and off-loading occasionally used interfaces, DJI’s Energy 2000 resolution needs to be simpler to maneuver round than competing 3kWh battery methods from Anker, Bluetti, EcoFlow, and Jackery. These gadgets, nevertheless, are extra suited to supporting properties, even when these properties have wheels.
For instance, the Energy 2000 lacks a high-amperage output to immediately energy 12V RV electrical methods, and DJI doesn’t supply a subpanel choice that integrates immediately 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 title of elevated portability as long as they will 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 out there sooner or later as the corporate’s Energy lineup matures.
The DJI Power 2000 is on the market immediately beginning at $1,299 / €1,399. Maxing out the system with ten enlargement batteries will value near $10,000.
