DJI Air 3 Battery Problems

[GFields]

I have a 100 watt and can charge 3 batteries in about an hour.

I have an Anker Prime 100w GaN charger in my bag, as well as an Inui 2700Mah 140w (100whr) battery pack and a 100w 12v auto adapter for travel, works great.

Coupled with an Asus Rog Ally X handheld PC and my phone, i can fly, offload and lightly edit in Premiere Pro, offload to cell and upload to Youtube or wherever, mobile. It all fits in a small backpack with my filters, batteries, and prop protectors plus space for water, mics, etc.

And i did just that in Greece earlier this month. Its an incredibly compact, versatile and capable little setup.

right from the manual it states you need at least a 65w PD charger but recommends a 100w PD charger. your phone charger is NOT going to work in the Air 3.

The A3 batteries can pull ~95W when charging, and in fact they need to charge at this rate to charge from depleted to full in about an hour.

Lower power rates will take proportionally longer. 20W is going to take 5 hours.

It will not even charge at 20W. At 25-35W it charges about half way and stops. Minimum Specs require 65W to charge to full capacity.

That would certainly seem to explain why some people are seeing these aborted chargings, etc.
