The DJI Power 1000 V2 portable power station sold for $399.98 at Amazon as of October 21, down from a $699 list price. That is $299.02, or 43%, off, and the best price the unit has hit so far.
The V2 pairs a 1,024Wh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with 2,600W of continuous output. Plugged into a wall outlet, it charges from empty to 80% in 37 minutes. Ports include two 140W USB-C outputs (280W combined), one standard SDC port and one SDC Lite port, both DJI's own connectors for drone batteries. The listing puts fan noise at 26 decibels and says the cells hold 80% capacity after 4,000 full cycles. It also advertises a 10-millisecond switchover if the grid drops, which is fast enough that plugged-in electronics should not notice.
The price per unit of storage is the clearest way to read the discount. At $399.98, the V2 works out to about $0.39 per watt-hour, versus about $0.68 at list price.
The specs also show a mismatch. Output is more than twice the battery's capacity in watts, so a 2,600W load would drain the battery in roughly 24 minutes, before conversion losses. The fridge claim points the other way: the listing says up to 20 hours, which implies an average draw near 50W. This is a unit for short bursts of power tools or a cooker, or for slow, steady loads like a fridge or CPAP machine. It is not for running heavy gear all night.
The listing's 4,000-cycle rating and its "roughly 10 year" lifespan are the manufacturer's figures, not tested ones. With Black Friday weeks away, whether $399.98 holds as the floor is an open question.
