DJI Power 500
A small LiFePO4 station built around quiet and quick charging: 512 Wh, 1,000 W continuous from two AC outlets, and a published 23 dB noise level that fits a bedroom CPAP or a tent. DJI's store lists a 70-minute full charge and two 100 W USB-C ports that can also charge the unit, and the pack is rated 4,000 cycles. At about 16 lb it is as easy to carry as a power station gets, and DJI's five-year warranty beats most small stations. The limits are the ones every 500 Wh unit has: a refrigerator gets about three hours, and 1,000 W caps microwaves and kettles. DJI publishes no surge figure. Its SDC Lite port is DJI's proprietary expansion connector, which only matters if you buy DJI accessories. DJI's regular price is $499, with a frequent $299 promotion. It suits CPAP, router, laptop and drone-battery duty during an outage rather than whole-home backup.
