DJI Power 1000 vs EcoFlow DELTA 1300
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
These two cost the same, so the decision comes down to what you're powering.
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 holds 23% more energy (1260Wh vs 1024Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- DJI Power 1000 has 1100W more surge headroom (4400W vs 3300W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- DJI Power 1000 is 2.9 lb lighter (28 lb vs 30.9 lb).
- DJI Power 1000 uses LiFePO4 while the other uses NMC — roughly double the usable cycle life.
- DJI Power 1000 is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 800 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
If you plan to cycle the battery daily, think twice about the EcoFlow DELTA 1300. Its NMC cells are rated for 800 cycles against the LiFePO4 rival's longer life — over years of regular use that's the more expensive unit, whatever the sticker says.
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
The original DELTA that put EcoFlow on the map. Fast-charging and high-surge for its day, but the NMC battery and lack of USB-C now show its age.
Best for: Bargain hunters who find it heavily discounted.
Where it falls short:
- NMC — ~800 cycles
- No USB-C PD
- 2-year warranty
