Manufacturer DJI launches Power 1000 Mini portable station with 1008 Wh battery for commercial drones

Chinese manufacturer DJI announced the global launch of the Power 1000 Mini portable power station on April 20, 2026. The equipment hits the international market with an internal battery of 1008 Wh capacity and a continuous output power of 1000 W. The device specifically focuses on serving commercial drone operators, rescue teams and professionals in the audiovisual sector who require reliable recharging sources in remote locations. The introduction of this hardware marks an expansion of the company’s portfolio beyond aerial vehicles, consolidating its presence in the mobile power management sector.

The new version features a considerably smaller format compared to the brand’s previous models, making it easier to transport in equipment backpacks and in the trunk of passenger vehicles during field operations. The company’s strategy aims to optimize working time in rural areas, construction sites and forests without access to the conventional electricity grid. The system supports power surges of up to 1200 W through dedicated communication ports, ensuring high-demand batteries receive maximum charge without compromising the stability of the portable generator.

Reduced Dimensões and external structure of the equipment

The model registers a total weight of 11.5 kg and has exact dimensions of 314 millimeters wide, 212 millimeters deep and 216 millimeters high. The physical volume of the Power 1000 Mini corresponds to exactly half of the space occupied by the Power 1000 V2 version, launched in previous years. The external structure has a rigid and reinforced handle, integrated directly into the protective chassis to withstand daily handling on uneven terrain. The top of the device has a completely flat shape, which allows for the safe stacking of other identical units or the temporary accommodation of work tools and lens cases.

The front panel concentrates all connectivity options for users, organizing the outputs symmetrically. The interface provides two local standard AC sockets, two traditional USB-A ports for older peripherals and two USB-C outputs with a supply capacity of 100 W each. The high-power port configuration eliminates the need to carry additional power bricks and adapters to power video editing notebooks, external monitors, and radio communicators.

The exclusive SDC port represents the product’s technical differentiator, as it allows direct data communication and optimized power flow with the entire DJI drone ecosystem. The equipment’s external coating uses high-density polymers with flame retardant properties to increase operational safety in open and dry environments. The engineering design insulates the internal electronic components against the ingress of dust, excessive humidity, morning condensation and sudden temperature variations during continuous use in the field.

Velocidade charging and integration with solar panels

The power supply process for the station itself occurs in different ways to guarantee the uninterrupted autonomy of the field teams. Direct connection to residential or industrial wall sockets, using the high-speed mode developed by the manufacturer, recovers 80% of the battery’s total charge in just 58 minutes. The complete charging cycle, from zero to 100%, requires exactly 75 minutes when connected to the standard electrical network, minimizing waiting time before starting a new flight mission.

Integration with clean and renewable energy systems represents a viable alternative for prolonged operations in nature reserves or isolated areas. The device connects to portable solar panels via an MPPT module with 400 W processing capacity. The direct input eliminates the use of extra voltage converters and allows the continuous capture of solar energy during the simultaneous operation of other machines connected to the front panel.

Profissionais constantly moving between different locations can use the 400 W car charger provided as an optional accessory. The cable transfers energy from the car’s alternator to the storage unit while the vehicle travels on highways. The internal management system organizes charge distribution in a pass-through format, allowing the station to power drone batteries connected to it while receiving power from the automobile’s main source.

Especificações technical and battery life

The internal architecture of the Power 1000 Mini is based on advanced lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry for secure energy storage. The choice of this specific material guarantees superior thermal stability even under intense cycles of daily use and sun exposure.

• Capacidade 1008 storage Wh based on long-life LFP cells.
• 11.5 kg structural Peso with ergonomic carrying handle integrated into the chassis.
• Compact Dimensões fixed at 314 x 212 x 216 mm for space optimization.
• Potência continuous output set at 1000 W for electronic equipment.
• Portas Dual 100W USB-C integrated into the front panel for fast charging.

Rigorous laboratory testing conducted by the manufacturer indicates significantly extended service life for the internal load-retaining components. The LFP battery maintains 80% of its original storage capacity after enduring 4,000 full charge and discharge cycles. The volume of certified cycles is equivalent to approximately ten years of daily use under normal temperature and pressure conditions, reducing the need for disposal and replacement in the medium term.

The digital panel built into the front displays accurate, real-time information about consumption in watts, input power and remaining operating time calculated by the processor. The clear visual interface eliminates dependence on wireless connections and cell phone apps for basic monitoring of the device’s vital functions. The station also incorporates a UPS function that acts in 0.01 seconds to keep computers and servers connected in the event of an abrupt power outage in the main network.

Impacto operational in the commercial drone market

The introduction of the new power station fundamentally changes the logistics of professionals operating unmanned aerial equipment on a commercial scale. The ultra-fast recharge capability via the SDC port allows the battery of a model Air 3S drone to go from 10% to 95% charged in about 30 minutes. The power replenishment speed dramatically increases the number of takeoffs and flights possible in a single day of film recording or technical inspection.

The equipment directly meets the demands of heavy sectors such as precision agriculture, where large spraying drones require constant battery changes for each hectare covered. Empresas topographic mapping, mining and transmission line infrastructure inspection also reduces the physical volume of spare batteries that need to be transported for each mission, easing the burden of the logistics burden.

DJI strategically positions the new product in a highly competitive global market for portable stations, taking on established brands in the off-grid mobile power segment. The official launch in April 2026 included the distribution of promotional codes to drive initial sales in key markets such as Reino Unido, Alemanha, França, Itália, Espanha and Canadá. Immediate availability on shelves and final consumer prices vary depending on import duties, logistics costs and local taxes applied in each commercial region.
