Questions and answers
- Can the DJI D6000i power a house?
- No. It delivers 1500 W continuous AC, far below what a home needs. Its main job is charging drone batteries.
- Can the DuroMax XP11000iHT charge drone batteries?
- Not directly. It has no DC charging output for DJI packs. You would need a separate charger plugged into its AC outlets.
- Which is better for a power outage?
- The DuroMax. It runs 9,000 W on gasoline or 7,700 W on natural gas, with a 50A outlet and CO shutdown for home backup.
- Which lasts longer on a tank?
- The DuroMax runs 9 hours at half load on 7.1 gallons of gasoline, or up to 20 hours at half load on a 100 lb propane tank. DJI does not publish runtime.
- Is the DuroMax worth it over the DJI?
- They serve different jobs, so price is not the comparison. Pick the DuroMax for home power and the DJI for drone battery charging.
