Is there a portable external battery that can power and/or recharge the SC while using it away from electricity and cars?

I am looking for a solution that provides power for the SC to use up to 8 aircraft batteries worth of flying time (M2P aircraft). An initial full charge lasts about for 4 aircraft batteries, so I need to double that.

I dont know that you can charge the SC and fly at the same time. Someone here may have found a way to do that but for charging in between, I use one of these for charging my iPad, phone, and will fully charge the SC a couple few times. They are available in a various sizes. I have had a couple of RavPower brand units and they are still going strong. Anker is another good company.

I’ve got an m2p and m2z, 8 batteries and dji’s SC. I usually get 5 or 6 full flights before the SC needs juice. Before that happens, I use the spent batteries that have a bit of power left along with the flymore adapter that turns your batteries into USB banks. They certainly aren’t going to rapid charge the SC but will give it enough to get through all 8 sorties.

Not having purchased the Fly More Kit, I was curious about the setup you are using from that kit. I found similar ones on Amazon for those of us without the kit. Others may be interested and there are several brands. Not much in the way of feedback from purchasers.

If anyone here has any negative/positive experience with these adapters it would be nice to hear. Thanks

Personally not a fan of running my batteries to 0% even with the DJI adapter. I use a 20,000 mah Battery Xiaomi 2C powerbank which supports QC3 fast charging. Many different makes/models to choose from.

Point is a standard USB powerbank charger with sufficient capacity should do.
