Chinese manufacturer DJI announced this Monday, April 20, 2026, the global launch of the Power 1000 Mini portable power station. The equipment hits the market with a storage capacity of 1008 Wh and continuous output of 1000 W. The new version features a smaller format compared to the brand’s previous models. The focus of the product is on audiovisual professionals and commercial drone operators.

The reduction in dimensions aims to facilitate transport in vehicles and backpacks during field work. The device allows the batteries of filming equipment to be recharged in places without access to the conventional electrical grid. The company has implemented fast charging technologies to optimize operating time in external locations. The system supports power peaks of up to 1200 W on compatible devices selected by the manufacturer.

Especificações techniques and reduction of equipment measurements

The new model weighs 11.5 kg and measures exactly 314 x 212 x 216 mm. The total volume represents practically half the space occupied by the Power 1000 V2 model. A reinforced handle has been integrated into the outer structure of the chassis. The component helps manually transport the device on uneven terrain or stairs.

Front panel connectivity includes multiple power output options for different devices. The user will find two alternating current sockets and two traditional USB-A ports. A retractable USB-C port with a capacity of 100 W comes standard with the product. The system eliminates the need for additional loose cables in the operator’s luggage.

A specific SDC port is also integrated into the unit’s connection panel. The input allows direct communication with other accessories in the Asian manufacturer’s ecosystem. The external structure received materials with weather protection. The coating withstands wet, condensation and salt spray conditions during continuous outdoor use.

A front digital panel displays real-time information about consumption and remaining charge. The numeric display makes it easy to control available power during flight operations. The interface eliminates the mandatory use of cell phone applications for basic monitoring.

Velocidade charging and external power options

The station’s energy replenishment process occurs in different ways. Connecting directly to wall sockets in fast mode brings the charge to 80% in 58 minutes. Completely filling the battery requires 75 minutes on the common electrical network.

Integration with clean energy systems represents another way to power the generator. The 400 W MPPT module allows direct connection of solar panels. The solar input eliminates the use of additional conversion adapters. The feature keeps equipment operational in remote areas for extended recording periods.

Automotive charging appears as an alternative for professionals who are constantly traveling by road. An optional 400W car charger transfers power to the unit while traveling. The function ensures that batteries arrive ready for use at the next job site.

The main characteristics of the device include the following technical data:

  • Capacidade 1008 Wh Storage with LFP Cells
  • Peso structural 11.5 kg with integrated carrying handle
  • Dimensões compact 314 x 212 x 216 mm
  • 1000W Continuous Power Fornecimento
  • Cabo 100W retractable USB-C built into the front panel

The multiplicity of connections allows simultaneous charging of different devices. The internal circuit intelligently distributes the current to avoid overloads on lower capacity ports.

Composição chemistry ensures prolonged cell durability

The internal architecture of the Power 1000 Mini utilizes lithium iron phosphate cells. The choice of this chemical composition provides high thermal stability during intense cycles of use. The material reduces the risk of overheating in environments with extreme temperatures.

Testes manufacturer’s laboratories indicate an extended useful life for the storage component. The battery retains approximately 80% of its original capacity after 4,000 complete charge and discharge cycles. The volume of cycles is equivalent to approximately ten years of daily use under normal temperature and pressure conditions.

The security system includes continuous temperature monitoring using internal sensors. Materiais flame retardants make up the plastic casing of the product. An integrated UPS function performs power switching in 0.01 seconds. The mechanism prevents connected devices from turning off during abrupt drops in the main grid’s electrical supply.

Operation in cold climates or regions of intense heat occurs without significant loss of performance. The electronic management cuts the current immediately if it detects voltage anomalies.

Aplicação practice in audiovisual productions and remote work

The routine of content creators requires managing multiple electronic devices simultaneously. Transporting drones, controllers, spare propellers and cameras consumes a large part of the space available on vehicles. The compact format of the new station adapts to more restricted luggage configurations.

Power transfer speed optimizes workflow in outdoor locations. An optional fast charging cable boosts the battery of an Air 3S drone from 10% to 95% in about 30 minutes. Agility increases the number of flights possible in a single recording day. Saving time favors productions that depend on specific natural light, such as sunrise or sunset.

Pilotos commercial companies that carry out technical inspections on isolated infrastructures also use the system. Analyzing transmission towers or solar panels in rural areas requires always-charged batteries. The station eliminates the need to return to base to look for new energy sources.

The use of the equipment goes beyond the borders of the audiovisual and drone market. The station acts as a backup power source in residential environments or small offices. The device powers internet routers, portable computers and data storage systems. The capacity serves medium power devices without operational interruptions.

Commercial Disponibilidade and impact on operators’ routine

The difference in power between the brand’s models defines the target audience for each available version. The Power 1000 Mini delivers fewer total watts than the Power 1000 V2. The compensation occurs in the drastic reduction in weight and volume of the chassis. Storage capacity remains close to the 1 kWh mark on both devices.

Operadores that require outputs greater than 2000 W continue to prefer the larger models in the line. Profissionais focused on mobility and frequent trips find the Mini version the appropriate tool for air or land transport. Direct compatibility with the brand’s drone ecosystem influences the choice of consumers in the sector.

The launch in April 2026 reinforces the Asian manufacturer’s annual calendar of news. The expansion of the energy portfolio follows the growth in sales of commercial drones and image stabilization equipment.

Distribution of the product began in several international markets this week. Prices charged and immediate availability vary according to the commercial region and local import taxes. The company released specific promotional codes to boost initial sales. The strategy covers consumer markets such as Reino Unido, Alemanha, França, Itália, Espanha and Canadá.
