DJI Power 500 vs DJI Power 1000 Mini

Half the Energy, More Punch

Choose the two you are deciding between. Every figure is taken from DJI's own specification pages for the 220–240 V, 50 Hz Malaysian variants.

DJI Power 1000 Mini — 1,008 Wh · 800 W. The Power 500 is not carried in Malaysia, so there is no local unit to show.

The short answer

Half the Energy, More Punch

An unusual pairing: the 500 holds half the energy but its inverter is rated higher — 1,000W continuous against the Mini's 800W. It is also 4.2 kg lighter and the quietest thing DJI makes at 25 dB.

The catch is availability and cells. The 500 is not carried by the Malaysian DJI store, and its cells are rated to 70% of capacity after 4,000 cycles where every other model is rated to 80%.

The Full Sheet

Malaysian 220–240 V, 50 Hz variants. Specifications verified against DJI's own pages on 2026-09-24; prices from the official MY store, 2026-09-241.
Two rows to read carefully AC outlets follows the plug standard and the chassis rather than performance. Cycle life is 80% of rated capacity after 4,000 cycles on every model except the Power 500, which is rated to 70%2.

The Other Comparisons

  1. Prices and stock from the official Malaysian store, captured 2026-09-24. The DJI Power 500 is marketed in Malaysia but not carried by that store.
  2. Tested at 25°C, recharged in Standard Mode; one cycle is a complete charge and discharge. The DJI Power 500 is rated to 70% of capacity after 4,000 cycles; every other model is rated to 80%.
  3. Continuous output. DJI states the DJI Power 1000 Mini as “max 1000 W (continuous at 800 W)”; the sustained figure is the one quoted here.
  4. 0–100% from 220–240 V, 50 Hz grid power in Fast Charge mode at 25°C. Varies with mains voltage and cell temperature.
  5. Measured in Standard Recharge Mode at 25°C. Reference only.
  6. AC outlet count is per-model and follows the plug standard and the chassis, not quality. DJI groups regions differently on every model. Verified per model against DJI's own specs pages on 2026-09-24.
