Anyone here using a third party lipo charger?

I know that today's lipo chargers have a lot of features that the DJI charger does not have.
Any of you using third party lipo chargers to charge your DJI batteries?

The Phantom 2 sort of gives you only 1 choice: the charger built in to the battery. The part that plugs in to the wall (or your car) is just a regular 12.6V DC supply. The circuit board in the battery then takes this and balance-charges the 3 logical battery cells (which are really 2 physical cells in parallel each). You can use wall chargers that supply more or less current (up to a limit). You can get adapters to charge more than 1 battery at a time. Some of them can provide a voltage reading. That's all I'm aware of.

So there's nothing clever about the DJI charger? The board in the battery does all the work?

Yup.

It's just a power supply
