i always think if you buy a cheap ebay charger and it fries your batteries, it's no one else's fault but your own...ymmv...

My rule is that I never cheap out on batteries, props or chargers. If you want to charge in your car but dont want to buy the $40 DJI car charger, go get yourself a power inverter and save a few bucks.

I have a few of these and power alot of things on it. It plugs into cig adapter or connects to your battery:

Hong Kong. Not DJI. Im not trusting my $90 mav battery to a $10 Chinese charger.

That's the same one that Rick from Drone Valley recommends, and the same one I bought. Works like a charm.

Just have a fire extinguisher handy and charge them in a lipo bag. I can never understand why people pay $1000 for a drone and then try to save $10 - $20 buying generic when DJI equipment works just fine and is not that much more money for OEM. And car chargers are one of the things that DJI and most every supplier have plenty of.

If your battery overcharges, or is caused damage by the generic charger, "poof" goes your battery and your warranty.

DJI batteries don't use chargers. They use DC power supplies. All the brains are in the battery. Its kind of difficult to make a bad DC power supply these days.

Overcharging is prevented by said brains.

The DJI car charger does not work fine!!!!

It requires a voltage input of > 13v, which means you have to leave your car engine running. This is a major limitation that is not apparent prior to purchase.

Will that charger actually work well when the engine is off?

I have this charger that i have been using for 6 charge cycles already on both of my batteries.

Amazon.com: Philonext DJI Mavic Pro Intelligent Battery Charger Car Charger Adapter 6A Output for DJI MAVIC PRO: Cell Phones & Accessories

So far so good and it charge under 60 mins. It has the same output power as the charger brick that came with the mavic. I am watching the battery voltages when i fly until it goes down to 30% and so far the voltages are pretty consistent on all 3 cells.
