How long does it take to fully charge the battery on a new mini3

[Night Flyer]

New user and it seems like forever to get the battery charged on this new drone,

Depends what charger you're using.

Samsung phone charger or what charger should I be using.

Bard says this about the Mini 3 Pro (not sure if it is the same as the Mini 3):

"The DJI Mini 3 Pro Intelligent Flight Battery takes 64 minutes to fully charge when not removed from the aircraft. It takes 57 minutes to fully charge one single battery using the DJI Mini 3 Pro Two-Way Charging Hub.

Please note that when charging a battery without removing it from an aircraft, the heating up issue of the aircraft will cause power reduction, slowing down the charging rate."

A cheap charger may not fully charge the battery ever. Why are you not using the charger that came with the drone?

You want a USB-C charger that supports the PD standard, 45-65W.
This would take <1h vs multiple hours with a common 5V-only USB-A phone charger.

Sorry I thought when you said new drone; they probably don't come with one these days...anyway, yes you need a better charger. Amazon has a ton of powerful rapid chargers that are inexpensive and will get you up and running quickly. You can use it for all of your need including with your mobile phone.

Some of the new ones like the Mini3 and Avata don't come with a charger, DJI kinda saves a few bucks by assuming most people have suitable type C chargers already... or that you're going to buy their optional one.

Thanks, I'll order a charger.

The Samsung Fast charger for phones and tablets that have fast charging works well as it will switch to 9 volt charging. A normal 5 volt charger takes forever.
And also, the 65 watt Mavic 3 charger will charge the battery in the mini 3 pro but not in the mini 3.

I bought a 30W DJI charger off Amazon. Works a treat.
