I fly every flight as if it's my last, anything can go wrong at anytime. I've used a ton of third party chargers before and never had an issue.

What evidence is there to support that assertion?

In the case of DJI batteries, that comment is nonsense. All the charging circuitry is in the battery. All the charger is doing is supplying power at the correct voltage and sufficient current. I've used after market chargers with all my DJI batteries (12 in total) for years and all of my batteries are still in top condition. Trashing a product is okay if you have evidence, but doing so without any evidence is simply not cool and completely misleading

wow some peeps really like their fast chargers
or dislike waiting for the guaranteed trickle charge to provide years of good batt' life

Would you mind supplying the schematics for the design of both chargers with tests so we can compare the output and its effect on the batt's?

If I notice a drop in battery performance, I'll just buy new ones. Plus who keeps a drone for years. I'm always upgrading. To each his own

Wow some peeps can't support their assertions and can't understand that the battery controls the charging.

Also it's not a "fast" charger. It simply charges three at the same time. The DJI station isnt practical for folks who are doing alot of flying.

Have you done a long hyperlapse yet?, eats almost an entire battery for a long one.

The charger is supplying the juice
The battery reports the charge

Could you give me a link please for the Energen, see Iffin it might help me

Larry, it's not clear that they have a model yet that will work with the Mavic 2 models...

DroneMax – Energen

DroneMax P40 – Portable Drone Battery Charging Station – Energen

DroneMax A40 – Portable Drone Battery Charging Station – Energen

perhaps its just a matter of them making cables? Mavic 2 batteries are 4 cell which need 17.5 volts right?

 

[Tree_Top_Flyer]

It looks like you are correct - you just need the right cable for the Mavic 2 series...

Exactly. If charger supplies less than 4.5A, battery will take longer to charge. Compare genuine DJI AC charger and car charger. AC charger puts out less, takes 90 minutes to charge. Car charger puts out more takes 60 minutes or less.
So, a third party AC charger that delivers the full 4.5A can be thought of as a quick charger even for one battery.

I really suggest you not take the vehicle to Maui. It might get a little too wet on the way there. You'd be better off to fly.

What does everyone think of the color! Should we keep the blue or try a different color

I have one and I love the blue color!

 

[Turn11]

From a quick search for chargers, the majority are blue.
Now for some levity, how about purple with green polka dots and yellow trim.

I have had this charger for a week or 2. It charges 3 batteries as fast as 1. IMHO it charges all 3 faster than the factory charger. It has a fan and never got too hot that I couldn't grab it with my bare hands. My only complaint is it should have a power on/off switch.

I also bought their 2 battery and 1 USB car charger but that one takes a little longer than the 120 Volt one. I think I read they have a newer 4 battery 120 volt one with 2 USB (and I think that has a power switch).

 

[fstop.labs]

Our upgraded chargers are almost here! Doing some final tests! Comes with an on off switch as well
