Specs side by side
| Spec | DJI Power 1000 | Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 1,024 Wh[source]'Capacity 1024 Wh'. US model is DYM1000L. This is the original Power 1000, not the later Power 1000 V2. | 1,264 Wh[source]Tech Specs: 'Capacity 30.4Ah/41.6V DC (1264.64 Wh)'. |
| Usable capacity (measured) | 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. | 1,024 Wh[source]nextpit: 'When discharging, we finally drew 1,024 Wh from the power station' (EU 230 V unit; page now redirects, read via Wayback snapshot 2025-03-20). Other EU/UK tests: Trusted Reviews 1,052 Wh at 1 kW load (UK unit); ComputerBase 1,068 Wh at 500 W and 1,100 Wh at 1,400 W (EU unit). No US 120 V discharge test found. Lowest value used. |
| AC continuous output | 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)'. | 2,000 W[source]Tech Specs: 'AC Total Output 2000W Rated, 4000W Surge peak'. |
| AC surge output | 4,400 W[source]'peak output: 4400 W'. | 4,000 W[source] |
| 240 V output | 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. | No[source]Tech Specs: 'AC Output (3x) 120V~ 60Hz, 16.67A'. Jackery's FAQ on 240 V output names only the Explorer 5000 Plus and HomePower 3600 Pro Max (single unit) and the 2000 Plus / 3600 Plus (two units in parallel). |
| Battery chemistry | LiFePO4[source]'Cell Chemistry LFP (lithium ferrophosphate)'. | LiFePO4[source]Tech Specs: 'Cell Chemistry LiFePO4'. |
| Cycle life | 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'. | 4,000 cycles to 70%+ capacity[source]Tech Specs: 'Cycle life 4000 cycles to 70%+ capacity'. |
| AC charging | 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. | 1,200 W[source]Product-page FAQ: 'It will take 1.5hrs to be fully charge by AC charger(1200W).' Tech Specs give no wattage, only 'Charge Mode AC Input 100V-120V~ 60Hz, 15A Max' and 'AC Adapter 1.7 Hours' (conflicts with the FAQ's 1.5 h). |
| Max solar input | 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'. | 800 W[source]Tech Specs: 'DC Input (2x) DC 8mm Ports: 12V-60V (Working Voltage) 11A Max, Double to 22A/800W Max'. |
| Expandable | 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. | Yes[source]'Expand power up to 5 kWh. Add up to 3 battery packs.' However, the same page says 'The Battery Pack 1000 Plus has been discontinued.' |
| UPS / EPS switchover | 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'. | 20 ms[source]Official user manual (EPS section): 'the EPS can automatically switch to battery mode within 20ms. Since this is a non-professional UPS function, it does not support 0ms switching.' Not stated on the product page. |
| Weight | 28.7 lb[source]Official spec is 'Approx. 13 kg', converted to lb. | 32 lb[source]Tech Specs: '32 lbs (14.5 kg)'; manual says 'About 32 lbs/14.5 kg'. The same page's marketing block says 'Lightweight (24lb)', which conflicts with the spec table. |
| Warranty | 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'. | 5 years[source]Tech Specs: 'Warranty 3+2 Years'. 3-year standard plus a free 2-year extension auto-activated for jackery.com orders ('5-Year Warranty on Jackery.com (3 + 2 years FREE)'). |
| List price | $999[source]DJI US store original price USD $999; sale price USD $699, listed 'Out of Stock', seen 2026-10-18. | $699[source]Standalone 'Explorer 1000 Plus Portable Power Station' compare-at price $699.00; sale price $619.00 ('$80 OFF') 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.
