DJI Power Auro 2000 Elite – 2016 Wh portable power station for work, travel and backup power

DJI Power Auro 2000 Elite is a portable power station with a lithium iron phosphate battery that stores electrical energy and supplies connected equipment through AC and DC outputs. Typical battery capacity is 2016 Wh, with a maximum continuous AC output of 2000 W. It can power camping equipment, lighting, computers, photography and video equipment, and household appliances with suitable power requirements, as well as provide backup power for devices connected directly to its outlets.

A single housing combines a car charging module, an MPPT solar charge controller, a retractable USB-C cable and two bidirectional SDC ports. This allows users to choose a charging method according to whether mains electricity, a suitable vehicle electrical system or solar panels are available.

2000 W pure sine wave output

The European version has three AC outlets delivering 220–240 V at 50/60 Hz. Pure sine wave output supports compatible electronics and electrical appliances, with a maximum combined AC output of 2000 W. When powering several devices simultaneously, their total consumption must be taken into account.

Startup power is also important when checking compatibility. DJI notes that motor-driven equipment with high starting current, such as compressors and air conditioners, may not be supported even when normal operating power is below 2000 W. Actual runtime depends on connected equipment and energy conversion losses.

USB charging and connections for DJI equipment

A built-in USB-C cable extends to 0.8 m and supports up to 140 W output for compatible USB Power Delivery 3.1 devices. It retracts into the housing, and its module is replaceable. Two additional USB-C ports each support up to 65 W output for PD 3.0-compatible devices, while two USB-A ports provide up to 12 W per port. Actual charging power depends on the connected device’s supported protocol and charging requirements.

Two SDC ports support accessories from DJI’s Power ecosystem. With an appropriate fast charging cable sold separately, compatible flight batteries for DJI Mavic 4 Pro, Mavic 3 Series, Air 3 Series and Matrice 4 Series can be charged, for example. Each cable must match the specific battery model; drone battery fast charging cables are not included in this standard package.

Recharge from mains electricity, solar panels or a vehicle

Maximum AC input power for the European model is 2000 W. According to DJI, a full recharge from mains electricity takes approximately 75 minutes, measured at 25°C. Charging power can be adjusted in DJI Home to suit the situation.

An integrated MPPT controller allows suitable solar panels to connect using a DJI Power MC4 Solar Charging Cable, without an additional external MPPT module. Each SDC input accepts 9–60 V, a maximum current of 30 A and up to 600 W input power. Using both ports simultaneously allows a combined solar input of up to 1200 W. Panel open-circuit voltage must meet the input requirements. Solar panels and connection cables are sold separately.

Charging directly from a vehicle battery uses the integrated car charging module and a separately sold DJI Power Car Battery Charging Cable. DJI specifies up to 400 W charging power in a 12 V vehicle system and up to 600 W in 24 V or 48 V systems. Actual performance also depends on the alternator capability of the combustion-engine vehicle. The included Lite extension cable should not be treated as a replacement for this fast charging cable.

LFP battery and protection systems

DJI Power Auro uses LFP, or lithium iron phosphate, battery chemistry. Manufacturer testing showed more than 80% capacity remaining after 4000 complete charge and discharge cycles. Testing was conducted at 25°C with charging in Standard Mode and discharging at 1000 W output. Actual battery ageing depends on operating and storage conditions.

A battery management system monitors battery operation, while the housing meets the UL 94 5VB flammability rating. A protective coating on electronics helps reduce the effects of moisture and corrosion, but this station is not intended for prolonged exposure to rain, condensation or high humidity. Specified charging, operating and storage temperatures range from −10 to +45°C, with a maximum operating altitude of 5000 m. Charging and output power may decrease at low temperatures.

UPS mode, quiet operation and DJI Home

In UPS mode, a station connected to mains electricity can power devices plugged into its outlets and switch to battery power during an outage. DJI laboratory data specifies a transfer time of up to 0.01 seconds, or 10 ms. Backup suitability should be assessed against the interruption tolerance of each connected device.

DJI measured a noise level of no more than 30 dBA with a 500 W AC load at 25°C, measured from one metre away. Noise may differ with heavier loads or fast recharging. Built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 support connection to DJI Home, where users can check station status, adjust charging settings and update firmware.

Housing, expansion and package contents

Dimensions are 456 × 225 × 245 mm, with a net weight of approximately 19 kg. Connections arranged on one side simplify cable access. Capacity expansion is designed around DJI Power Auro 2000 Elite Expansion Battery units: according to DJI, adding up to five compatible expansion batteries increases system capacity to approximately 12 kWh without increasing main-unit output power. The earlier DJI Power Expansion Battery 2000 is not compatible.

This standard package contains a DJI Power Auro 2000 Elite power station, a DJI Power AC Power Cable and a DJI Power Car Power Outlet Extension Cable (Lite). Solar panels, solar charging cables, a vehicle battery fast charging cable, drone battery fast charging cables and expansion batteries must be purchased separately.
