Anker SOLIX F3800 vs DJI Power 1000
Side-by-side on the specs that decide it — surge, capacity, runtime and price.
Both models' specs verified against manufacturer listings · Last updated
The short answer
DJI Power 1000 costs $3000 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Anker SOLIX F3800 holds 275% more energy (3840Wh vs 1024Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Anker SOLIX F3800 has 4600W more surge headroom (9000W vs 4400W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- DJI Power 1000 is 104.3 lb lighter (28 lb vs 132.3 lb).
This is where portable power stops being portable and starts replacing a standby generator. The 240V split-phase output is the headline feature.
Best for: Whole-home backup where you need 240V loads and can't run a gas generator.
Where it falls short:
- 132 lb — this is a wheeled appliance, not something you carry
- $3,999 puts it against real standby generators
DJI's first power station is a genuinely strong 1kWh unit — 2,200W output and a 4,400W surge put it ahead of most rivals its size, though the ecosystem leans toward DJI's own drone and camera kit.
Best for: Content creators and drone operators already in the DJI ecosystem.
Where it falls short:
- 400W solar input is modest
- Accessory ecosystem is DJI-centric
