DJI has recently launched a powerful new car charger, the Power 1kW Super Fast Car Charger, designed to rapidly replenish its lineup of portable power stations. This $299 device can deliver up to 1000W of charging power from your vehicle's alternator, significantly accelerating the recharge times for demanding users.
The Rise of On-the-Go Charging Solutions
This new category of high-powered car chargers is gaining traction, particularly among users of solar generators and power stations. These devices are proving invaluable for those who rely on portable power for extended periods, such as van lifers, outdoor enthusiasts, and those working remotely.
Key Features and Compatibility
High-Speed Charging: The Power 1kW can fully charge the 1024Wh DJI Power 1000 in just over an hour.
Compatibility: Designed to charge DJI's expanding lineup of power stations, including the Power 1000 and the stackable Power 2000 Expansion Batteries (up to 11kWh total capacity).
Reverse Charging: Includes a feature to prevent car battery drain by reverse-charging the vehicle battery.
Compact and Portable: Easy to install and use within your vehicle.
Unlocking 1000W Charging Power
While the Power 1kW is initially limited to 500W, users can unlock the full 1000W charging capability by purchasing the separate $25 DJI Power Dongle. This dongle, however, is currently included as a "free gift" with new purchases of the Power 1kW in the US.
Comparing to Competitors
EcoFlow Alternator Charger (800W): Uses a proprietary connector, best suited for charging EcoFlow's own batteries.
Bluetti AC500 (560W): Offers wider compatibility with various power stations from different manufacturers but at a slower charging rate.
Important Considerations
Vehicle Requirements: Requires a vehicle with a high-capacity alternator to support the high charging current.
Safety Precautions: Proper installation and use are essential to avoid electrical hazards.
Conclusion
The DJI Power 1kW Super Fast Car Charger represents a significant advancement in on-the-go charging solutions. Its high-speed charging capabilities and compatibility with DJI's expanding power station ecosystem make it a compelling option for users who require rapid and reliable power replenishment while on the move.
