The numbers
| Battery capacity | 2048Wh (LFP) |
|---|---|
| Usable energy | 1884Wh (92% via 12V/USB DC output) |
| Continuous AC output | 3000W |
| Surge rating | Not published |
| 12V car fridge running watts | 45W |
| Startup watts | 60W |
| Average draw | 18W |
| Estimated runtime | 4.4 days |
| Energy per day of typical use | 432Wh |
2048Wh × 0.92 = 1884Wh usable ÷ 18W average = 104.7 hours

Recharging with solar
The DJI Power 2000 accepts up to 1800W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 6.8 kWh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.
Solar can keep up. A 12V car fridge uses about 432Wh a day at 24 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the DJI Power 2000 can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- Compressor coolers like Dometic, ICECO and BougeRV plug into the 12V car port, which skips inverter losses entirely.
- Running it from the DJI Power 2000’s DC port instead of the AC outlet avoids inverter losses: about 143Wh more usable energy.
- The DJI Power 2000 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.

FAQ
Will the DJI Power 2000 run a 12V car fridge overnight?
Yes. Eight hours uses about 144Wh, roughly 8% of the DJI Power 2000’s usable capacity.
How long does the DJI Power 2000 take to recharge with solar?
With its maximum 1800W of solar input it refills in about 1.5 hours of strong sun. With a single 200W panel, expect about 2.7 sunny days (14 hours of full sun).
