Can a Non OEM charger harm your controller ?

[scott rand]

I bought one of those blue monstrosity (large **** charger) battery chargers, the kind that can charge 3 batteries at once. Anyway, I went away on vacation, and left that home, and brought my OEM battery charger with me. All of a sudden, my controller will not charge anymore using the OEM battery charger OR that blue charger. I've tried different mini USB cords, and no matter what, my controller won't charge. The drone batteries charge no matter which charger I use.

Can those non OEM chargers harm your controller ? Any thoughts ? I've never had this issue before.

I charge my controller with my phone charger in my truck all the time. Doesn't seem to harm it

No, it shouldn't matter as long as its rated properly. The supply voltage needs to be correct. If both chargers are not working on your mavic controller I would bet something is up with the controller. Its the USB output of the charger that you are talking about so hook up a cell phone or something that uses USB to take a charge and see if it charges. That will prove it is or isn't the charger(s).

That there monstrosity charger is the only one I've ever used. Never even unpacked the OEMs. I can't see where it would be the cause of an issue charging your RC. Then again, I'm no electrical engineer. I'm thinkin' maybe the problem is either in the RC itself... or the charging cables.
