After launching its first transportable energy stations final yr, DJI simply launched the Power 2000 with double the capability, extra output energy, and massive scalability.
Not like 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 vitality wants irrespective of the place you go whereas additionally providing the quickest charging instances in your DJI drones.
For instance, you’ll be able to take the Energy 2000 alongside to a job web site 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 a number of 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 contains 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 one in all DJI’s Tremendous Quick Automobile Chargers to faucet into photo voltaic and/or the surplus charging capabilities of your automobile’s alternator. All of the ports could be monitored and managed contained in the DJI Residence app.
For dwelling house owners, 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 powerful 10:1 ratio for an influence station (most are 2:1 or 6:1 max on this class) for 22kWh of whole saved vitality 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 exploit 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 contains a very quick 0.01 second cutover to behave as a UPS in your most delicate electronics.
By constructing its 22kg / 48.5lb Energy 2000 programs round comparatively light-weight (16.5kg / 36.4lb) 2kWh enlargement modules and off-loading sometimes used interfaces, DJI’s Energy 2000 resolution needs to be simpler to maneuver round than competing 3kWh battery programs from Anker, Bluetti, EcoFlow, and Jackery. These gadgets, nonetheless, are extra suited to supporting houses, even when these houses have wheels.
For instance, the Energy 2000 lacks a high-amperage output to immediately energy 12V RV electrical programs, and DJI doesn’t provide a subpanel possibility that integrates immediately into your home’s electrical system to intelligently offset your vitality 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 might simply get misplaced). And given DJI’s speedy embrace of the class, I wouldn’t be stunned to see these superior choices made obtainable sooner or later as the corporate’s Energy lineup matures.
The DJI Power 2000 is obtainable at present beginning at $1,299 / €1,399. Maxing out the system with ten enlargement batteries will value near $10,000.
