DJI now offer two new power banks – as well as a range of accessories – for powering camping holidays or keeping your drones and camera equipment charged up in the field – and now both have been heavily discounts available on both at Currys, in time for the summer.

Currys is offering £350 off the DJI Power 1000 that reduces the cost of this to £529. And if you want a smaller, lighter version then the DJI Power 500 is reduced to £299.

It'll charge a laptop 9 times, a phone nearly 60 times, or run a car refrigerator for 19 hours, and provide 1.2 hours flight for a pro drone.

I've fully tested the DJI Power 1000 in my review, and it was impressive. Moreover, DJI has extended the functionality with accessories for any situation that allow you to work with multiple DJI batteries, and charge quickly using a vehicle. so it makes sense to snap some more up even if you already have one.

These are obviously useful if you're out camping or you're our flying. Drone batteries aren't cheap and – if you charge as you go – then you don't need to buy as many batteries to have a fruitful day flying, but DJI will also cover you if you're worried about a collapsing power grid!

I have also seen these devices popular with professional content creators who need to keep topping up on the go and with pilots of fun craft like the Avata 2 drone which, if we're honest, burns through batteries faster when you're having more fun!
