Can you add batteries to the DJI Power 1000 Mini?
No. DJI Power's spec page lists the DJI Power 1000 Mini as not expandable, so its 1,008 Wh is the most it will ever hold.
Can the DJI Power 1000 Mini work as a UPS?
DJI Power lists a switchover time of 10 ms for the DJI Power 1000 Mini, inside the 20 ms gap that the ITI (CBEMA) reference says typical computer equipment should ride through.
How fast does the DJI Power 1000 Mini recharge?
From a wall outlet it charges at up to 1,000 W; DJI Power doesn't publish a full-charge time. From solar it needs about 3.4 hours of strong sun at its 400 W solar limit, with panels delivering 75% of their rating.

Who should not buy the DJI Power 1000 Mini?
Skip the DJI Power 1000 Mini if any of these describe you; each comes from its published specs.
- You rely on solar. Even at its full 400 W solar input it needs about 2.5 hours of strong sun to refill, slower than most models its size. The EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus needs about 1.0 hours at its limit.
- You may want more battery later. The DJI Power 1000 Mini isn't listed as expandable. The EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus (1,024 Wh) accepts extra batteries.
- You plan to start motors. With no published surge rating, we count only loads that fit its 800 W continuous rating.
- You want to run a kettle, microwave or space heater. Its 800 W inverter is below the 1,000 W or more our cited figures give for each of them. The Goal Zero Yeti 1000 delivers 2,000 W.
How long does the DJI Power 1000 Mini last at different loads?
About 857 Wh reaches the AC outlets, so a steady 100 W load runs for about 8.6 h and a load at its full 800 W rating for about 64 minutes.
| Steady AC load | Runtime from full |
|---|---|
| 25 W | 34 h |
| 50 W | 17 h |
| 100 W | 8.6 h |
| 200 W | 4.3 h |
| 300 W | 2.9 h |
| 500 W | 1.7 h |
| 750 W | 1.1 h |
| 800 W | 1.1 h |
How many hours of sun does the DJI Power 1000 Mini need to refill?
With panels delivering 75% of their rating (our calculator's default), the DJI Power 1000 Mini needs the hours of strong sun below. Its 400 W solar limit caps the charge rate, so panels beyond about 533 W add nothing in strong sun.
| Panels | Charge rate | Sun hours to refill |
|---|---|---|
| 100 W of panels | 75 W | 13.4 h |
| 200 W of panels | 150 W | 6.7 h |
| 400 W of panels | 300 W | 3.4 h |
| 800 W of panels | 400 W | 2.5 h |
What can the DJI Power 1000 Mini run at the same time?
