DJI may be best known for its drones and camera equipment, but the company has also been expanding into portable power, with the Power 2000 being its most capable standalone power station yet. Essentially a large rechargeable battery, it's designed to provide electricity wherever you might need it, whether that's on a camping trip, at a job site, during an outdoor movie night, or at home when the power goes out. And if you've been considering one for any of those situations, the Power 2000 is currently down to $749.99 from its original $1,299 price, taking nearly $550 off what would otherwise be a fairly expensive investment.
It's about the size of a carry-on suitcase and weighs close to 50 pounds, so it's not something you'd strap to your back, but it fits easily in a car trunk. The battery itself is built to last, rated for 4,000 charges before it starts losing any noticeable capacity. Performance-wise, DJI says the 2,048Wh capacity can keep a refrigerator running for up to 40 hours during a home power outage, charge a laptop 18 times, or power a projector for 18 hours. Those numbers line up with what you’d expect from a unit this size, and they make it useful for both emergencies and planned outdoor use.
You also get a solid mix of ports—there are three AC outlets, a 30-amp port for heavier appliances or RV setups, multiple USB-C ports (including a 140W option for laptops), and DJI’s own SDC ports for direct drone charging. If you use DJI gear, that alone makes life easier in the field, notes this Mashable review. Recharging is also fast for a battery this size. Plugged into a wall outlet, it can go from empty to full in about 90 minutes. You can also top it up with solar panels or from your car, which makes it workable for longer trips. Rounding out its features is its companion app, which lets you check its battery level from your phone without having to walk over to it, a small thing that turns out to be pretty convenient. Note that this unit has no built-in light, which is something many competing power stations include.
