Anyone tried these 5in1 chargers ?

China has been around longer then the USA, so maybe they had it first and we stole it?
I bought one of these - what I did, added ground to the board as well as the case as in mine there was no ground connected at all (silly), here in the UK our 3 pin plugs already have a fuse so none needed, neither a switch as all our sockets have switches - but I also added some Mica sheet in between the board and the case (for insulation) - didnt like the idea of that being exposed ... all good apart from that - perfect for fast charging ...
Hey @propilot, I'm sure you had your 5 in 1 charger for little time now, was wondering if it is worth it? And how you rate? And like it ? Thanks
I've had mine for a bit now and it works great. We use a portable 12v battery on the field and it can charge up 3 mavic batteries in a little over an hour.
Soapy, it is 100% worth the money. Charges my three batteries, remote and android tablet in about 60-70 minutes total from 12% (critical battery shutdown) level. I used my Mavic supplied charger once and now the 5in1 is in the kit. It is 120/220 so I can take it everywhere. Get it.

What I'd like is a field charger that can handle 2 or 3 batteries at a time. Ideally connected to a deep discharge 12 V battery (no inverter). Then batts could go into the trunk of the car as they come back and get charged in turn. A 55 Ah battery would give over 10 MP battery charges.
Just need to charge the deep discharge batt the night before...

Check out this thread:
Portable field power
In recent field tests I was able to use it to charge up three batteries. It has both AC and DC built in.
When you are on the field do you use a car charger as well? Or bring the 5 in 1 with a inverter ?
I usually bring both. Since I usually use the portable power unit it has both AC and DC. The AC can last about 1.5 hours...charging up 3 batteries using the 1 in 5 unit. Then I still have about 65% battery power left on the portable power that I can use with DC charger, which can only do one at a time. Although there are 2 DC ports, so if someone else brings there charger we could charge two at the same time.
Here you go

I have that charger. Gives a fairly fast charge, even when charging 3 batteries at a time.

Thank for the pics! What gauge wire did you use and is that just a standard on/off switch?
Standard on/off switch from a Frys (or Sayal in Canada) with 16 gauge wire
SeattleMarc - P=IV the P (watts) will be the current times the voltage. From the faceplate I see 13.05 volts x 13.5 amps so the DC wattage would be 178 watts. There are some AC to DC losses however the power on the AC side would be in a similar range so I think you would be pushing a 200 watt inverter but it would do it.
