Controller Mobile Charging

Hey all.

Is it possible to stop the controller charging the mobile device connected?

I have a dedicated android device that only runs the DJI app. I have been looking of ways to stop the controller running down so fast. I do have power banks, but it would help if I could stop the controller charging the device.

As far as I heard, there is nothing you can do on Androids,however last topic I saw about that someone mentioned it doesn´t charge when using iPhones instead.
I don´t know why or even if this is confirmed since I only have Android devices.
Lets see if someone can come with more info.

However, when talking about battery life, Today with 4 batteries I still have 50% on the controller, pretty good in my view.
If you charge the controller for about 10 minutes between each flight, you can easily fly 6-8 full batteries and still have something around 40% on the controller

Thanks for the reply.

That's interesting on the iphone, i have always been Android. But i will look into that.

I'm off traveling to New Zealand in a few months, And power is at a premium for me. The less i need to recharge the better. Would interesting to see if this can be done.
