Battery Charging Hub Question

[Zoran]

Hello Community

Hoping someone can tell me if the battery charging hub for the Mavic 2 can charge multiple batteries at the same time like my spark battery charging hub does....or does it only charge one battery at a time like my Phantom 4 pro charging hub does.

Adding another question. Does anyone recommend a good Patel charging system for Mavic 2?

 

[Elude]

parallel charging is what I meant

The DJI Mavic 2 battery hub holds up to four batteries, but only charges one at a time.

I am going to get one of these chargers... 4 batteries charged at the same time plus 2 USB for controller laptop/phone.
There is a warning about which model to get.

One at a time. It charges them in order of capacity, so if one of the batteries is 90% charged and the other is 70%, it'll charge the 90% first to get you flying quicker

It charges sequentially, starting with the battery that has the greatest charge. Same as your other hubs.

I have not seen a charger that simultaneously charges multiple batteries of the power used in these drones. If you’ll be near your car either use the cigarette lighter mobilcharger or instal a power inverter so you can charge in the field.

These simultaneous chargers are quite popular but I don't believe they have released a model for the Mavic 2 yet - only the Mavic 1 and Phantom:

Powerextra Mavic Pro 5 in 1 Intelligent Multi Battery Charger USB Charging Hub

DJI also sells their own "Hex charger" parallel/simultaneous charger for the Inspire/Matrice series that can charge 6 batteries and 2 remotes at once.

The Sunnylife Charger (Mentioned up thread a bit) does in fact charge up to four batteries simultaneously, plus two USB outputs. Great for use at home, but it requires far too much power to be used in a car. It pulls down upwards of 500 watts, when fully loaded. 50 amps at 12 volts. Not practical for most of us.

Thanks for the info guys! Learned a couple of things.
