Specs side by side
| Spec | BLUETTI AC180 | DJI Power 1000 |
|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 1,152 Wh[source]AC180 is 1,152 Wh; the AC180P (1,440 Wh) on the same page is a different variant. OutdoorGearLab notes BLUETTI has released the Elite 100 v2 as the AC180's successor. | 1,024 Wh[source]'Capacity 1024 Wh'. US model is DYM1000L. This is the original Power 1000, not the later Power 1000 V2. |
| Usable capacity (measured) | 950 Wh[source]OutdoorGearLab measured 950 Wh at 80% load (82%). StorageReview measured 1,030 Wh at a 350 W load; the lower figure is used. | 775 Wh[source]techtest.org: 'Im Test schwankte die Kapazität der DJI Power 1000 zwischen 775 Wh und 862 Wh' (76-84% of the rating); the low end is used. The test does not state its voltage, but techtest.org is a German site and likely tested the EU 230 V unit. No US-unit test found. |
| AC continuous output | 1,800 W[source]4 x 120V/15A, 1800W in total. | 2,200 W[source]'DYM1000L: AC 100-120 V, 50/60 Hz, max continuous output: 2200 W, max output: 2600 W (total), peak output: 4400 W'. 2600 W lasts 30 s on the DYM1000L. The user manual lists '1800 W (Rated), 2200 W (Max. continuous output)'. |
| AC surge output | 2,700 W[source]Spec table 'Surge Power: 2700W'; the manual also says it 'can handle a surge of 2700W'. The same 2,700 W figure is used for Power Lifting Mode, which only applies to resistive heating loads. | 4,400 W[source]'peak output: 4400 W'. |
| 240 V output | No[source]AC outlets: '4 x 120V/15A' ('4x120V(1800W Total)'); no 240V output listed. | No[source]US model 'DYM1000L: AC 100-120 V, 50/60 Hz'. The 220-240 V DYM1000H is a separate non-US model, not split-phase. |
| Battery chemistry | LiFePO4[source] | LiFePO4[source]'Cell Chemistry LFP (lithium ferrophosphate)'. |
| Cycle life | 3,500+ cycles to 80% original capacity[source] | 4,000 cycles to over 70% capacity[source]Spec page: 'Maintains over 70% capacity after 4000 cycles'. The user manual says 'over 80% capacity after 3000 cycles'. |
| AC charging | 1,440 W[source]Turbo mode 1440 W (enabled in the app); standard mode 1000 W max. | 1,200 W[source]'DYM1000L: AC 100-120 V, 1200 W (recharging)'. 1200 W needs at least 60% battery and 20-35 °C ambient, otherwise 600 W Standard mode. |
| Max solar input | 500 W[source]500W Max., VOC 12-60VDC, 10A. | 800 W[source]'DJI Power 1000 supports a max solar power input of 800 W'. This needs two separately sold DJI Power Solar Panel Adapter Modules (MPPT), each capped at 400 W. The manual lists each SDC input at 'Max. 400 W'. |
| Expandable | No[source]Official FAQ: 'the AC180 doesn't support capacity expansion with B80, B230, or B300 batteries'; they can only charge it through Power Bank Mode. The page description's 'up to 4,224Wh' wording refers to that charging, not true expansion. | Yes[source]Takes the DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000 (2048 Wh) via the SDC port: 'When connected to Power 1000 or Power 1000 V2, up to five expansion batteries can be added'. The Power 1000 spec page itself does not list expansion. |
| UPS / EPS switchover | 20 ms[source]Official user manual: 'Switching time 20ms'; Grid Enhancement mode must be off for UPS use. The product page does not state it. | 20 ms[source]Manual: 'switch to the battery-powered supply within 20 ms' and 'DO NOT connect the power station to devices that require 0ms UPS'. The product page says 'within 0.02 seconds'. |
| Weight | 35.3 lb[source]Spec table: 'About 16kg / 35.27lbs'. Official figures conflict: the same page's description says 37 lb / 17 kg and the user manual says 36.16 lb / 16.4 kg. | 28.7 lb[source]Official spec is 'Approx. 13 kg', converted to lb. |
| Warranty | 5 years[source] | 5 years[source]'Up to 5 Years of Warranty'; footnote: 'The default warranty period is five years.' The DJI Store FAQ says '3-year official warranty' plus a 2-year extension after registering, and '5-year warranty when purchased from the DJI Official Online Store'. |
| List price | $499[source]$499.00 for the standalone unit, no discount shown, out of stock (restock late November), seen 2026-10-18. | $999[source]DJI US store original price USD $999; sale price USD $699, listed 'Out of Stock', seen 2026-10-18. |

Runtime = usable capacity ÷ average draw, the same formula for both models (no idle draw added to either), after checking continuous output and startup surge. Usable capacity is an independent test's measured figure, or 80% of rated where none exists. See the methodology.
