Bluetti Apex 300 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 $600 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Bluetti Apex 300 holds 170% more energy (2764Wh vs 1024Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Bluetti Apex 300 has 3280W more surge headroom (7680W vs 4400W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- DJI Power 1000 is 51.4 lb lighter (28 lb vs 79.4 lb).
- Bluetti Apex 300 is rated for 6,000 cycles vs 4,000 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
6000 cycles at 2764Wh — the best long-term cost-per-kWh in this list if you cycle daily. Bluetti's answer to the Elite 200 V2 at scale.
Best for: Off-grid solar setups where daily cycling makes lifespan the dominant cost.
Where it falls short:
- 79.4 lb
- Newer product with limited long-term field data
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
