[Black] The DJI car charger is perfect for when I get a last minute call to go do a shoot. Since the DJI batteries discharge after five days if you get a last minute call sometimes you don't have time to charge them back up. Now I can pop it in my charger and charge up on my way to the location.

[0.325 lb] New favorite and must needed drone accessory!

[0.325 lb] Save yourself some frustration. Just buy this.

[Black] The cable is so much cheaper than buying backup batteries. I can recharge the battery on the way to my next job.

[USB: 5 V / 2 A] As a drone pilot its always a good idea to be able to charge a flight battery while in the field and as long as you have access to a vehicle
this charger will prove invaluable. Flying in cold weather, especially with a little wind can drain your batteries much faster than when its warm outside. Realistically it takes about an hour to charge a battery.
This charger is also a great way to warm up a battery safely so you can get some more flight time from it even if it's not fully charged and you need some power before it can completely recharge. Or to keep backup batteries warm while you're flying out in the cold. And it can be a life saver when you've forgotten to charge the night before and have to drive to a location and can charge on the way. It also works with the 3 way charger, but that can take some time. When flying in the winter I have the three way plugged in with two batteries mounted, staying warm and fully charged and then switch out the batteries as they need it. I just keep mine in the truck ready to use whenever needed.
I certainly don't regret buying mine and consider it an essential for any serious pilot, even if you have multiple batteries on hand.

[1] There's nothing more disappointing than running out of batteries when flying your DJI Air 2P. You can use this car charger to recharge one to three batteries (serially, with the original charging strip).

[Black] Always on top of things at B&H.

Thank you

[Black] Great for saving you when in a hurry to have extra juice for your batteries, only charges one and would be great if it also charged the controller, but you could use it with the battery hub for charging up to 4 batteries in the car

[USB: 5 V / 2 A] I have two of these chargers. They are well built and powerful. However, that power comes with a string attached - if you want to rapidly charge a Mavic 3 battery the input voltage has to be greater than produced by a typical full charged 12 volt battery. DJI tells us this - stating that we should use the charger only with the car running. However, the specifications state that the input voltage needs to be 12.7 - 16 volts DC. Which led me to assume the 540 amp hour 12 volt battery bank in our expedition truck, which delivers 12.8 - 12.9 volts when fully charged would be sufficient. That is not the case - I need to have somewhere between 13.1 and 14,1 volts minimum (closer to 14.1 I suspect) for the rapid charger to work with an Mavic 3 battery. I can work with that as long as I charge during the day with solar input raising the voltage of the battery bank or when the truck's engine is running.



This charger will work fine charging a Mavic Mini 2 battery bank with the supply at 12.8 (perhaps lower as well - I've not tried that). It might also charge the Mavic 3 battery via the USB 2 - USB 3 outlet but at 10 watts I'd presume that would considerably slower than the 65 watts possible with USB 3 - USB 3 outlet.


I have not tried my car chargers with large portable power banks like those from Goal Zero or Jackery. I suspect the same restraints would apply - rapid USB 3 to USB 3 of a Mavic 3 battery will require solar or other supplemental input. Again - not a problem if you plan for that.


I've given the charger 5 stars because it is great and works well as long as one respects the design parameters.

[USB: 5 V / 2 A] The proprietary batteries that come with The Mavic Air 2 (or Air 2s) are notorious for draining quickly - especially when they haven't been charged for several days. Fortunately, this car charger solves the problem. I received a last-minute call to shoot aerial footage the other day and was worried about having enough battery power for an entire shoot (despite having 2 extra batteries on hand). No problem with this baby - just plug it into your cigarette lighter, and you should have at least (1) fully charged battery upon reaching your destination. I never travel without it!
