Charging system??

Tridiver · May 5, 2018

Just bought a PP with 4 bats. What is the best system for charging?? Does DJI make one that charges all at once, or is it just one at a time?? What about aftermarket?? Any help is appreciated. Thx Bolton

DJI makes a hub that connects to 4 batteries at once but only charges one at a time. There are aftermarket chargers that can charge 3 batteries and the controller at the same time. We call them the "blue charger" as the metal case is blue. You can search here or Google for them.

Here the new charger for My Mavic Batteries and an Decharger from Phantom Eagles, both are perfect to save your batteries for a long time, both I use now for 1,5 years and are perfect for storage the batteries with the right cappa and charge the batteries with high Amps

DJI only makes battery chargers that charge one battery at a time. If using one of their battery charging hubs, you'll be able to connect 4 batteries at a time. That makes charging more convenient since you won't have to swap each battery as they finish charging.

The standard battery charging hub (also available direct from DJI here) can charge 4 batteries in 5 hours:

The advanced battery charging hub (also available direct from DJI here) can charge 4 batteries in 4 hours. If you use the Phantom 4 battery charger along with this hub, you'll be able to charge 4 batteries in 2.5 hours.

DJI will not cover damages caused by 3rd party battery chargers. If that's a concern, then this would be your best option if you want to use OEM DJI accessories.

If the best means the fastest, then I think the Yx battery charger is the best way to go. It can charge 3 batteries in 1 hour.

While it is a 3rd party battery charger, it has good reviews and I'm not aware of any issues where batteries were damaged. Also, Yx has been making battery chargers for DJI batteries for a few years. Their battery chargers have had consistent reviews over those years. Check out the reviews here on Amazon to see what people are saying about this battery charger.

Agreed! This is a great charging system. Much better than the OEM charger.

This charger is the fastest on the market and have an OLED Display which show you the voltage and the load current and similar to the yx Charger will load 3 Mavic Batteries and the controller simultaneously

I use this charger over one year without any problem of the cappa of the batteries!

But be aware for storage your Batteries ( I use the Phantom Angel Discharger-See my post ) you must only have 50-60 % of your batterie cappa, if not your batteries can be distroyed over the time , and you lost of the maximum cappa
