DJI Power 1000 vs Allpowers R1500
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
Allpowers R1500 costs $300 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Allpowers R1500 holds 13% more energy (1152Wh vs 1024Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- DJI Power 1000 has 1400W more surge headroom (4400W vs 3000W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- DJI Power 1000 is 9.5 lb lighter (28 lb vs 37.5 lb).
- DJI Power 1000 is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,500 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
DJI Power 1000
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
Allpowers R1500
A well-priced 1.1kWh with a real 1,800W output and fast charging, a common budget pick for home backup starter kits.
Best for: First-time backup buyers who want 1,800W output cheap.
Where it falls short:
- 37.5 lb for 1.1kWh
- Not expandable
