DJI Power 1000 vs EcoFlow DELTA mini
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
EcoFlow DELTA mini costs $400 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- DJI Power 1000 holds 16% more energy (1024Wh vs 882Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- DJI Power 1000 has 2300W more surge headroom (4400W vs 2100W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- EcoFlow DELTA mini is 4.4 lb lighter (23.6 lb vs 28 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 mini. 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
A compact NMC unit with a surprisingly strong 1,400W output for its size — but the 800-cycle battery means it won't age like the LiFePO4 field.
Best for: Buyers who want strong output in a light unit and won’t cycle it daily.
Where it falls short:
- NMC — ~800 cycles
- 2-year warranty, 300W solar input
