I do not recommend charge the battery thru the drone. I always charge batteries outside the drone because that same reason. Even a bad cable can make contact and fry your electronics.There were mentions that M3 direct to drone can take 85W charging. Just be careful - there are reports of some Chinese power supplies catching fire.
I just purchased three of these to build a battery case as I did for the Phantom 4 Pro. I plan to use the same Harbor Freight case but have three of the DJI Battery Charging Hubs.

This is why DJI shouldnt force you to charge on the drone. I only have the standard drone and a single battery and I badly wanted to plug the battery directly to the power supply, but DJI is forcing me to buy the charging hubI do not recommend charge the battery thru the drone. I always charge batteries outside the drone because that same reason. Even a bad cable can make contact and fry your electronics.
Might be 88w will reduse bat life?One user from DJI's official user forum was able to charge the Mavic 3 battery at 82-87W, using a Baseus 100W GaN II fast charger, with DJI Mavic 3 battery charging hub.
For the record, DJI's tech support stated in their official user forum, that Mavic 3 supports up to 88W PPS fast charging, and up to 65W via USB PD 3.0. It takes 96 minutes to fully charges the battery with the stock charger (65W, USB PD 3.0). If you can find a charger which provides 88W PPS fast charging, the time reduced to 78 minutes.
Personally I am quite confused by some of DJI's decision here:
1) Why choose to support 88W charging via PPS, and 65W via USB PD 3.0? It is so hard to find a 3rd party USB C charger which supports PPS fast charging beyond 45W.
2) Why ship a 65W USB PD charger with Mavic 3, instead of 88W PPS charger?

I don't know. If DJI think 88W reduces Mavic 3 battery life, then they should not add the 88W PPS support in the first place. And their tech support should not disclose that information in the user forum, and encourage users to find PPS-compatible chargers, if they wanted to reduce the battery charging time.Might be 88w will reduse bat life?
You are right, my thoughts were based on the swelling of MP and M2P batteriesI don't know. If DJI think 88W reduces Mavic 3 battery life, then they should not add the 88W PPS support in the first place. And their tech support should not disclose that information in the user forum, and encourage users to find PPS-compatible chargers, if they wanted to reduce the battery charging time.
I guess there are some weird decision-making process inside DJI, about the design of Mavic 3, which may never made public.
