You’ll be living the dongle life if you need more ports Proprietary adapters are only available from DJI Narrow temperature range for fast-charging the 1024Wh battery No app for remote management It’s rated at 2200W of “stable output” or 2,600W for “thirty seconds.” In my testing, I managed to pull a steady 2400W (using two hair dryers) for about one to two minutes before the unit shut off gracefully with a warning message on the display.
