DJI, known mostly for its consumer drones and pocket cameras, has introduced the new DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000, a two-kilowatt-hour (kWh) extension battery for the Power 1000 portable power station.
This expansion battery provides additional energy storage in a compact, safe, and secure package, advancing battery life as needed. It has over 2000 Wh in a compact frame, offering a variety of flexible expansion methods, high-power charging and discharging, and easy stacking and storage design to ensure you are fully charged, secured, and prepared, regardless of how long or remote the trip.
“DJI has a long history in battery research and development as battery life and charging efficiency have been integral to user satisfaction with each of our products,” explains Ferdinand Wolf, Product Experience Director at DJI. “The DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000 is the latest iteration in this storied journey and we’re excited for this extension battery to open even more of the outdoors for exploration while also offering peace of mind for power storage and supply if at home. Nothing destroys a hiking or outdoor adventure or peace-of-mind during a storm more than power anxiety; fortunately, the compact size and stackable design of the DJI Power series makes these concerns a thing of the past.”
The Power 1000 can be seamlessly integrated with the Power Expansion Battery 2000 to amplify power. Up to five units of DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000 can be connected to DJI Power 1000 via designated cables, offering five flexible power expansion options including: three, five, seven, nine and 11 kWh. When combined with Power Expansion Battery 2000, Power 1000 can consistently supply power at 2400 watts and overclock the output at 2600 watts. This ultra-high output offers peace-of-mind as it can effortlessly drive 99% of everyday appliances.
DJI designed the Power Expansion Battery 2000 so that when it is paired with a Power 1000, the expansion battery’s recharging power can reach 1500 W, reaching 1024 Wh in approximately 46 minutes.
The DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000 interface, buttons, and screen are integrated on the front of the body, making operation simple and intuitive. The single-sided wiring design and size of both the DJI Power 1000 and Power Expansion Battery 2000 make it easy to stack the equipment, saving space.
The safety features and durability ensure the batteries never overheat. This is achieved by using quality assured components such as the 2-kWh charging package that is made of lithium iron phosphate cells, which allows up to 4000 cycles. In addition, the DJI Intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) 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 Expansion Battery can be controlled remotely using the new DJI Home app when using the DJI Power Dongle, which works over both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
The DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000 will soon be available at US$1,169.
