Best DJI Power 1000 Mini Alternatives

The DJI Power 1000 Mini is a compact 1 kWh box with a built-in USB-C cable, but its 800 W of continuous output caps what it can run. The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 below puts out 2,000 W in a box of almost the same size, and DJI’s spec page lists no warranty for the Mini.

The makers’ published spec sheets for November 2026 are the only source for this guide. PowerPicked Editorial did not test a single station in this guide.

Why look for an alternative?

It holds 1,008 Wh. Output runs at 800 W of continuous power, with a maximum of 1,000 W. The built-in USB-C cable stretches 0.8 m and charges at up to 100 W. Fast Recharge fills it to 80% in about 58 minutes and to 100% in about 75 minutes.

Its weak points are output, expansion, and warranty. At 800 W of continuous output, it runs less than its rivals here. No expansion battery is listed for it. DJI’s spec page carries no warranty for it. Buyers who want more output, room to grow, or a listed warranty have good options below.

Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2

The C1000 Gen 2 is the alternative for more output. It holds 1,024 Wh and puts out 2,000 W, with a peak of 3,000 W. A full AC charge takes 49 minutes. Its battery keeps 80% of its capacity after 4,000 cycles, by the rating.

Its solar input runs at 600 W, lower than the DELTA 3 Plus.

Its weak point is expansion. It takes no extra battery, so 1,024 Wh is the full capacity.

EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus

The DELTA 3 Plus is the alternative for solar and growth. It holds 1,024 Wh and puts out 1,800 W. Solar input runs at 1,000 W, the strongest of the three alternatives. Extra batteries take it to 5 kWh.

A car source at 800 W fills it in about 1.3 hours, though it needs a separate Alternator Charger for fast car charging. Its base capacity is modest for full-time use, by the listing.

Its weak point is weight. At 27.6 lb, it weighs the most of the three alternatives, though only by a small margin.

Solar input

1,000 W

Weight

25 lb

Who it's for: Campers and small-space buyers who want about 1 kWh and 1,800 W at around 25 lb.

Strengths

• 1,000 W solar input, full in about 70 minutes
• 80% AC charge in about 45 minutes
• Listed at 30 dB under 600 W

Weaknesses

• AC charging tops out at 1,200 W
• Holds less than BLUETTI's own AC180

BLUETTI Elite 100 V2

The Elite 100 V2 is the alternative for a fast recharge. Inside it are 1,024 Wh, with 1,800 W of output. Solar input runs at 1,000 W, with a full charge in about 70 minutes. A wall outlet hits 80% in about 45 minutes.

It switches to battery in 10 ms or less when wall power drops, and its noise stays at 30 dB under a 600 W load. With BLUETTI’s Charger 1, car charging fills it in about 1.8 hours. AC charging runs at up to 1,200 W.

Its weak point is weight. At 25 lb, it weighs about the same as the C1000 Gen 2, and it is heavier than the Mini.

How long will they run?

For the runtime math in this section, take 85% of the listed capacity as usable energy. 85% of the listed 1,008 Wh gives 856.8 Wh of usable energy. A 200 W load runs for about 4.3 hours on that energy.

All four hold about the same capacity, so a 100 W load runs for about 8.6 to 8.7 hours on any of them. The C1000 Gen 2 packs the most energy per pound, at about 41.1 Wh per pound.

How to choose

Pick the C1000 Gen 2 when you want the most output and the fastest full AC charge. Pick the DELTA 3 Plus when you want the strongest solar input and room to add batteries.

Pick the Elite 100 V2 when you want a 10 ms switchover, a quiet 30 dB rating under a 600 W load, and a 45-minute charge to 80%. Match each station’s output and solar input to the gear you plan to run before you buy.
