Charging hub

[Mel 08]

Using it for the first time.
All 3 batteries flat
All 3 on the hub
Only one seems to be charging as in only 1 flashing

Any thoughts

Cheers Mel

There are numerous topics and posts on the charging hub, advising NOT to use the charging hub for the first charge. Charge the batteries for the first time with the supplied charger. After the first round you can use the hub. In the worst case you bricked your batteries. However, you can try this: Your New Mavic Air 2 Battery Won't Charge and Cannot be Powered on?

The hub only charges one at a time which sucks. Amazon has a multi charger that will charge all 3 batteries, your remote and a phone all at the same time. Something like $50 I think.

Think about this...which method will get you back flying again???

I see the wisdom of the DJI approach...charge the battery in a sequence of fastest to most needy.

Doesn't help if you want to go out for the day thou, one in the drone and the rest at home charging

Somewhere I have device that plugs into fag lighter and has a 3 pin plug on the other end with some box of tricks in the middle
Don't no why I have it or why I bought it.
Will this do to charge them in the car?
That's as much tech talk I do........

Sounds like you have a power inverter.
Yes it should work in the car but its probably bet to keep the engine running so you don’t end up with a flat car battery.
You can buy a dedicated DJI car charger if you are in any doubt.

Will have a look
Thanks for that

DJI's MA2 charger puts out 13.2V 2.82A, and the Amazon charging hub puts out 13.2V 8A if one battery is connected, and 13.2V 2A for each branch if 4 batteries are connected. So I'm guessing with 3 batteries connected it would put out 13.2V 2.67A for each branch. I don't see anything issues with these specs for the Amazon charger (except charging at 8A) vs DJI's charger. However, I don't really know how well it would control the different charge rates when all 3 or 4 batteries are at different charge states (43% charged, 35% charged, 56% charged, etc., etc.).

Same experience here, it's charging in sequence, not in order of need / existing charge. Charged on slot 3 then 2 then 1 (assuming 1 is next to connector).

unless the MA2 charging hub is different to all the other DJI hubs ,then the normal charging sequence when all 3 batts are in the hub and it is then turned on, it will sequence through the batteries and charge the one with most charge left first, then the next one, and so on this has been true even for the phantom 4 port hub i had for my PH3

That appears to be what mine does
