DJI Phantom 3 charging hub, anyone?

It doesnt discharge batteries though does it.
There is another charger on the market that does condituon em, i believe.

Farmer- about the one that conditions the batteries by discharging first?
Any idea what that one is? Got a link?

Have the hub works great . Leave 4 batteries and it charges them without having to keep checking it and swapping batteries. Green light indicates which ones are fully charged.

Any idea if this would pull too much juice from a car inverter?
Probably would I'm guessing.....

Depends how many things you charge at once

Well- if I just wanted to do 1 battery, I can just use the original charger.
I'm asking if I could use this to charge multiple batteries while engine on, in the car.
But I actually don't think it
s practical. Probably damage my car battery or electrical system.....
I keep hoping to find a good portable charging solution for out in the field.

I did try a portable unit which had batteries within but it ran out after 20 mins

Funny that you mentioned the hub.

I don't care that it charges 4 batteries 1 at a time but I need to get myself 1.

I'm on the process of charging 4 batteries, just finished charging 1 and 2nd on charge as I type.

Time is now 01:10 and all I want to do is go to bed but want to make sure all 4 batteries are fully charged too, so I think I'm going to pull the trigger and order the hub rite now lol

Go for it Del... Iam on the hunt for a second battery now.

Farmer-I like trendies of s conditioning charger. I have one for my AA and AAA rechargeable a. But 1- hey want $630 for this thing. And 2- it's been talked about on the forum that many feel that discharging the DJI batteries to 8% was damaging to them.
Not sure how I feel about that as with all other rechargeable batteries I've ever had over the years have always benefited from a periodical discharge all the way down & back up.
But that's real pricey....
I could buy 4 more batteries for that.
