2,600 W running, 4,400 W surge — sustains the fridge, freezer and the essentials tier and everything below it.

Best forBedroom, campsite, and content-creator use where silence and charging speed matter most.

The drone company's second-gen power station, and the sleeper hit of the category. The headline specs are absurd for a 1kWh box: 2,600W continuous output (more than most 2kWh units), 4,400W peak, 0-80% charging in 37 minutes, and operation as low as 26dB, the quietest rating in this entire roundup. V2 fixed the original's two-outlet stinginess with four AC ports and added Wi-Fi. Expansion runs to 11.2kWh via 2kWh add-on packs. The quirks are DJI-flavored: solar charging requires a proprietary MPPT adapter dongle rather than native XT60 ports, the app is minimal compared to EcoFlow's, and the SDC ports are really designed around fast-charging DJI drone batteries. Warranty is 3 years, extending to 5 if you register in the app.

Summarised from owner discussions and forums

Owner insights

The Power 1000 V2 packs 2,600W continuous into a 1kWh station with four AC outlets and two 140W USB-C ports. One V2 owner planned to run it as an always-plugged-in mini home battery for a fridge, boiler and router on pass-through, where others warned that 400W of panels would not keep up with those loads. A buyer sizing a station for a workshop CNC listed it alongside the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2, Bluetti Elite 100 V2 and EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus and leaned toward the DJI.

DC is the catch. Solar needs DJI's proprietary MPPT adapter, so a panel cannot be plugged straight in, and expansion goes through the SDC ports. For the CNC spindle, the advice was that motor surge can run 5-10 times the running draw and that inverters shut down on overload faster than breakers trip, putting the need at 3-5kW or more. Register it in the DJI app to get the 5-year warranty instead of 3 years.

What owners like

+2,600W continuous and 4,400W peak from a 1,024Wh, 28.6-lb box
+Rated as low as 26dB
+Expands to about 11.2kWh with add-on packs

Common complaints

−No native solar input: panels need DJI's proprietary MPPT adapter module, which is how one V2 owner runs two 100W panels into it
−Built as a plug-in station rather than a grid-tied home battery: a V2 owner planning an always-on kitchen setup was pointed to a balcony solar unit that can feed back to the grid instead
−A V2 owner's plan to run a fridge, gas boiler, router and kitchen appliances on 200-400W of solar drew warnings that the panels would not cover a day's draw and the unit would mostly pass grid power through
−The full 5-year warranty requires registering in the app; otherwise it is 3 years

Questions owners ask

Can I plug solar panels straight into it?

No. Solar needs DJI's proprietary MPPT adapter module; one V2 owner runs two 100W panels through it and is considering four, and was told the unit seems to support up to 1.8kW of solar.

Can it work as a home battery that feeds my house from solar?

It works as a plug-in station. One V2 owner planned to keep it on pass-through from the wall with a fridge, gas boiler and router plugged in, so they would keep running if the grid dropped, without backfeeding the house. One suggestion was a balcony solar unit that feeds back to the grid instead if offsetting household use is the goal, with the note that those act more like an EPS than a UPS in an outage.

Will the 2,600W rating start a 1.5kW motor like a CNC spindle?

Probably not reliably. A buyer weighing the V2 for a CNC spindle was told motor surge can be 5-10 times the running draw and that portable inverters shut down on overload much faster than a breaker trips; the estimates put the need at 3-5kW of inverter output or more, above this unit's 2,600W.
