The Chinese technology giant DJI, which has long dictated the rules in drones, decided to “land“ its experience in a completely new niche, introducing the compact energy monster Power 1000 Mini. This little gem is here to prove that big things often come in small packages, offering mobility without compromising on power. Whether you are camping in the wild, or shooting professional video in a remote location, this device promises to put an end to the panic of a dead battery.
Don't be fooled by the “Mini“ label!
Although it weighs a modest 11.5 kg and takes up the space of a shoebox (314 x 212 x 216 mm), it has a serious capacity of 1000 Wh in its body. The engineers have relied on lithium-iron-phosphate technology (LiFePO4), which is a true marathon runner in terms of endurance. The manufacturer guarantees that even after an incredible 4,000 recharge cycles, the battery will retain 80% of its original capacity. In other words, this is a purchase that will serve you faithfully for years, without "squatting" in front of daily use.
In terms of connectivity, the DJI Power 1000 Mini is a real Swiss army knife. The front panel is literally littered with options: two classic USB-A ports for smaller gadgets and a pair of powerful 100-watt USB-C outputs that can breathe life into even a "thirsty" laptop for energy. For more serious electrical appliances, two standard electrical outlets are provided, providing up to 1 kW of power. And if you find yourself in the dark? The built-in flashlight with a specific SOS mode will be your best friend in an emergency.
The flexibility in charging the station itself also deserves admiration. You can "feed" it directly from the network, via USB-C or - for the truly adventurous - via solar panels under the open sky. For now, the price of the Power 1000 Mini on the native Chinese market is fixed at around $ 359, which is more than an aggressive offer for such a package of extras and reliability. We just have to wait for its official debut in our latitudes to see how it will perform in real “field“ conditions.
