DJI's new backup battery can power small appliances, charge your drone

DJI is entering the portable power station market in the US and Europe with the launch of the Power 1000 and Power 500 designed for users at home or on the road.

The Power 500 (7.3 kg or 16.3 pounds) delivers 512 Wh of capacity and 1,000W of output for half the price. Along with standard AC plugs, both have a pair of USB-C PD output ports that support 140W/100W charging for the Power 1000/Power 500 — enough for most laptops. The market is fairly saturated with such devices ( Jackery, Bluetti, Anker, others), but DJI is pitching this as an ideal way to charge its drones and other products.
