How long will the DJI Power 2000 run a well pump?

About 35 hours from a full charge. A well pump averages about 50 W (1,000 W running, on about 5% of the time), and the 2,048 Wh battery gives about 1,741 Wh after inverter losses. That is 2.9% of the battery an hour.

Will the DJI Power 2000 start a well pump?

Yes. It needs about 3,000 W for a moment when the pump starts, and the DJI Power 2000 is rated for 3,600 W surge, 1.2 times that. Avoid starting other motors at the same moment.

How much of the battery does a well pump use in a day?

About 1,200 Wh a day (50 W × 24 hours), 69% of the 1,741 Wh the DJI Power 2000 can deliver.
