The numbers
| Battery capacity | 2048Wh (LFP) |
|---|---|
| Usable energy | 1741Wh (85% via AC outlets) |
| Continuous AC output | 3000W |
| Surge rating | Not published |
| Sump pump (1/3 HP) running watts | 800W |
| Startup watts | 2000W |
| Average draw | 200W |
| Estimated runtime | 8.7 hours |
| Energy per day of typical use | 4.8 kWh |
2048Wh × 0.85 = 1741Wh usable ÷ 200W average = 8.7 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 sump pump (1/3 HP) uses about 4.8 kWh a day at 24 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the DJI Power 2000 can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- Sump pumps run in short bursts; how often depends on how much water is coming in. The motor start is the main hurdle.
- You’ll still have about 2200W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- 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 sump pump (1/3 HP) overnight?
Yes. Eight hours uses about 1600Wh, roughly 92% 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).
