How Long Will the DJI Power 1000 Run a Circular Saw?
Updated 2026-10-17 · Yes
About 37 minutes. The DJI Power 1000 stores 1024Wh, and a circular saw averages about 1400W. That’s enough for about 2 typical 15-minute uses.
The numbers
| Battery capacity | 1024Wh (LFP) |
|---|---|
| Usable energy | 870Wh (85% via AC outlets) |
| Continuous AC output | 2200W |
| Surge rating | 4400W |
| Circular saw running watts | 1400W |
| Startup watts | 2600W |
| Average draw | 1400W |
| Estimated runtime | 37 minutes |
| Energy per day of typical use | 350Wh |
1024Wh × 0.85 = 870Wh usable ÷ 1400W average = 0.6 hours

Recharging with solar
The DJI Power 1000 accepts up to 800W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 3 kWh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.
Solar can keep up. A circular saw uses about 350Wh a day at 0.25 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the DJI Power 1000 can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- Corded 7¼-inch saws pull a big inrush when the blade spins up. That surge, not total energy, decides whether it works.
- You’ll still have about 800W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- The DJI Power 1000 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.

FAQ
How long does the DJI Power 1000 take to recharge with solar?
With its maximum 800W of solar input it refills in about 1.7 hours of strong sun. With a single 200W panel, expect about 6.8 hours of full sun.
