Yes. The Remote Controller does drain quickly and many use an external battery pack to charge it and get more flight time.

Be aware that one should be using the bottom port on the Remote Controller to connect to the device used to fly thier Mavic.

The upper left side port (USB Micro) can be used for charging BUT not before one connects to the Mavic using the bottom full sized USB port and are ready to fly. When plugging in a power pack to the upper left side of the Remote Controller before connection to the Mavic it appears that the Remote Controller gets confused as to which port will be used to Remotely Control the Mavic.

I think a lot depends on the type of flying you do. I will use three batteries and still have over 50% left but I'm just flying no pictures or videos. Everyone's usage is different it's about how much work you get it to do.

I almost always ended up w/ 48% controller power after 5 batteries.....I'm using iPhone 6S+.

I found my controller battery discharged quickly when connected to my android phone. I turned off fast charging in the phone settings and the controller seems to last twice as long now
