Hello
I noticed that when I connect my galaxy tab s2 to the controller usb port that it begins to charge. It draws the charger power down relatively quickly even if the tab is fully charged.
I saw a youtube post where someone connected a spare battery to the miniusb port to provide additional power.

How do others handle this?
Thanks
 
With both fully charged I have not seen a rapid depletion of the controller. Tab S2
 
At this moment there are no solutions to fix the problem completely nor has dji given any comment. The 2 things people do are what TTFullTimer mentioned which allows the controller to conserve power by not having to charge the s2, and the 2nd this is what you stated with the battery pack.
 
What cutting the black wire trick? You mean the power wire?
 
There is a youtube video and other references that say cutting the black (negative) wire inside the USB jacket, will stop the controller from charging the phone/tablet.
