The latest addition to the DJI Power Series is the DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000, a 2-kilowatt-hour (kWh) extension battery for the Power 1000.
The newest addition to the DJI ecosystem of portable power stations, currently comprising the DJI Power 1000 and DJI Power 500, the DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000 offers a variety of flexible expansion methods, high-power charging and discharging, and easy stacking and storage design.
The Power 1000 can be seamlessly integrated with the Power Expansion Battery 2000 to enable power to be amplified simply. One of the main draws of the design is its modularity and the ability for up to five units to be connected to DJI Power 1000 via designated cables.
This offers five flexible power expansion options of up to 11 kWh. And when combined with Power Expansion Battery 2000, Power 1000 can consistently supply power at 2400 watts and overclock the output at 2600 watts. This, the company reckons, means that it can ‘effortlessly’ drive 99% of everyday appliances. And, of course, lights and stuff.
When it is paired with a Power 1000, the expansion battery's recharging power can reach 1950 W, reaching 1024 Wh in approximately 36 minutes, which is handily rapid.
The interface, buttons, and screen are all integrated on the front of the body, and DJI reckons it will be good for 4000 cycles. This is helped by the fact that the Intelligent Battery Management System continuously monitors the status of the power pack so that even when multiple power packs are connected, the Power Expansion Battery 2000 and Power 1000 can maintain regular and safe heat, while helping to extend battery life.
The DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000 is available for $899, which looks to be a discount on the normal list price of $1169. It fairly obviously needs a DJI Power 1000 Portable Power Station to run, and that is currently available for $699 down from $999.
