Car charger

pilot ss · Jan 13, 2016

Anyone know much about the car chargers? I know that DJI do not recommend using any third party chargers on the intelligent batteries. Anyone had experiences, or is there other ways around it, charging on the go?

Cheers.

My truck has a couple 110 outlets in it but if yours doesn't, there are converters that plug into the cigarette lighter port that have a 110 outlet on them.

I'm also sure there are some very good third party chargers out there as well.

Get an inverter and use the normal charger with that?

That would be my suggestion. The car adaptors I looked at all take about 1 hour or more to charge. With an inverter you use your AC charger and you can be charged in 20 to 30 minutes.

Well the OEM chargers are rated at 60 or 90 mins charging time, but yes I'm sure faster than a socket car charger.

What charger are you using? My DJI charger normally takes over an hour.

Be careful with car chargers - from (a long way back) memory, I recall folks on here charging their batteries up using car chargers and then suffering a non-start on the car when going home.

Think the inverter is the way to go, that way I can still use the genuine charger, and have it for other uses too. Thanks guys!
