DJI Power 1000 Mini

If you want a **portable power station** for camping, road trips, drone charging or home backup, the DJI Power 1000 Mini is aimed squarely at that awkward middle ground: enough capacity to matter, without turning into a dead weight in the boot. It’s especially appealing if you care about fast recharging and compact size more than raw inverter muscle. ## What makes it worth it Its biggest win is the form factor. DJI packs a **1008Wh LFP battery** into a unit that weighs about **11.5kg** and measures **314 × 212 × 216mm**, which is meaningfully smaller and lighter than the larger Power 1000 V2. That makes it much easier to move around a campsite, garage or car. It also charges fast. DJI claims **0 to 80% in 58 minutes** on AC, and the unit adds a **built-in 400W car charger** plus a **400W MPPT solar module**, so you have more ways to refill it when you’re off-grid. The built-in **100W retractable USB-C cable** is the kind of small convenience that actually matters in daily use. For DJI users, the ecosystem angle is real: the SDC port supports direct charging for compatible DJI drone batteries and accessories, which is more useful than a generic extra socket. ## Where it falls short The trade-off is output. With **1000W max output** and only **two AC outlets**, this is not the power station for kettles, heaters or anything with a nasty startup spike. Some reviews also note that the app and port layout are good, but not class-leading. Buy it if you want a compact 1kWh portable power station for camping, drone batteries and light home backup. Skip it if you need to run high-draw appliances or want a bigger, more capable whole-house emergency unit.
