DJI Power 1000 V2 Review: Fast, Quiet, and More Capable Than Most 1kWh Rivals

By Editorial Team | April 2026

DJI’s pitch is simple: give you a 1kWh power station that does not act like a compromise. The Power 1000 V2 wins because it charges brutally fast, pushes 2,600W continuously, and stays unusually quiet while doing it. At £579.00, it is not cheap, but it is one of the few units in this size class that feels ready for real use instead of just emergency optimism.

Our pick: DJI Power 1000 V2

DJI Power 1000 V2 — £579.00

This is the power station you buy when you want one box that can handle camping, RV use, short home backup, and serious laptop or creator gear without making you wait around for a recharge. It scores 8.4/10 for a reason: the balance of output, recharge speed, and noise is better judged by real life than by spec sheets.

Why it works:

• The 1,024Wh LFP battery gives you sensible capacity without jumping into hulking territory, and LFP chemistry is the right call for longevity.
• Its 2,600W continuous output is the killer number. That is enough headroom for appliances and tools that knock weaker 1kWh stations flat.
• The charging speed is the standout: DJI claims 0 to 80% in 37 minutes, and the unit is quiet at around 26dB while charging, which matters in a van, tent, or spare room.
• Two 140W USB-C ports and 0.01-second UPS switchover make it unusually useful for modern work setups, not just plug-and-pray backup.

The honest trade-off: It weighs 14.2kg, so portable means carryable, not effortless — and the fastest charging setup can push up the total cost.

If that sounds like your use case, buy the DJI Power 1000 V2 and stop overthinking it.

Best upgrade: EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus

EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus — £599.00

The upgrade buy is all about ecosystem and momentum. It sits in the same broad 1kWh bracket, but TechRadar lists it as the best overall portable power station and gives it 2,400W output, so you are getting a proven all-rounder with wide coverage, strong brand recognition, and a deeper accessory ecosystem.

Worth it if: you want a mainstream, broadly recommended 1kWh power station and care more about all-round confidence than DJI’s quieter, faster-charging edge.

Best budget pick: EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus

EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus — £275.00

This is the sensible lower-cost choice if your actual needs are closer to phones, tablets, laptops, and occasional backup than full appliance duty. You give up the heavy-duty output and the fast-charging swagger, but you also cut the spend almost in half.

Worth it if: you want backup power for essentials and do not need to run anything remotely demanding.

How we chose

For portable power stations, the only numbers that really matter are capacity, output, recharge speed, noise, and weight. We used the product specs provided, then checked current UK pricing and real-world comparisons against established alternatives from TechRadar, T3, and retailer listings.

Frequently asked questions

Can this run a kettle or other high-draw appliances? Yes, in many cases. With 2,600W continuous output, it is built for far bigger loads than typical 1kWh stations.

Is the price fair? At £579.00, it is fair if you will use the fast recharge, quiet operation, and high output. If you only need something for phones and a laptop, it is overkill.

How heavy is it in practice? At 14.2kg, it is still manageable to move between a car, van, or house, but you will notice the weight every time you lift it.

Grab it here if you want the version that gets the fundamentals right instead of just looking good on a spec sheet.
