Drone Valley car charger

[Dmascot]

I’m very happy with the car charger sold by Drone Valley for my Mavic Mini. It charges my battery at 15% charge to a full charge in one hour plugged into my Mini. I don’t have the charging hub. It has two ports, a regular USB and a USB-C. At first I thought the price was a little high, but not now since I have seen it in action.

Are you referring to this charger?

Yes that is the charger. Sorry I should have posted a link, I think that might be the only Mavic Mini charger they sell.

Any QC3 charger will do, doesnt have to be the "Drone Valley" one. Many QC3 phone chargers will do the same.

There's also aftermarket 2-port chargers which will charge the batteries directly and IMO are far more efficient at it since it doesnt need to traverse as USB charging circuit to charge the battery, These can be found on the usual channels (eBay, AliExpress etc). Suspect these will be on sale in due course on Drone Valley rebranded with a small markup.

Mavic Mini car charger?

Try AliExpress or eBay. They all come out of China anyway.

The MM can be charged upto 24W (12V 2A) rather than 18W. Only the Japanese variant is limited to 18W due to smaller battery.

However if you want to make the most of it, with this charger if you have the flymore pack, you can have one battery in the AC and one in the hub and charge 2 batteries at once in ~80mins or so. Little bit cumbersome to setup
