Today.......i flew 3 flight batteries and the RC was near fully charged (one led off)....when i got the last flight in...the RC unit had Only one led lite.....its been on the charge right now Off a USB port on my computer and after near 4 hours the red lights Not Off yet.....does a low charged RC take that long to charge up ?...its a month old....and it's been recharged 5 times now.....Thanks To all who Help me understand this.
 
Oh Ohhhhhhhhh That's the problem....I only got one charger with my P3SE....the one for the Flight battery.....And i agree 100% the USB port is a low current supply.....I just looked at the drones charger to SEE If it had a place with a USB post.............. Nope !

Well that sucks, maybe try a USB charger (iPhone or similar) and plug the controller into that. I used to do that with my first PS3 and it charged just fine.

Not sure what the specs are for a PS3E controller battery, be careful not to exceed the charging voltage. Normal output voltage from a USB device is 5V at whatever current that outlet provides. You should have the controller battery specs in your booklet or flip the controller over and look for the info on the bottom of the casing and use that as a guide.

depending on USB 2 or 3, the charging current could be as low as 500mAh but even USB3 max is 900 mAh on a PC.

WOW......with current that low......no wonder its took me a long time plugged in to my USB 2.0 port....I have shop type of 12 volt regulated power supply that i will use now with a 12 volt to 5 volt converter....its max amps output is 2.1 amp so it should do the recharge job.nicely Thanks *Technical Bob*.

My 3 SE takes between 60 and 90 minutes using a phone charger with the DJI supplied cable.
Thats sounds Just like mine (60/90 mins to get green light on RC on).....I have a area to fly in right next to my house and when i get inside....I can always feel the RC unit hot from battery useage and i always let the RC unit cool down before i put it on the charger.. Thanks for the reply and .Drone ON>>>>

Hum, I thought P3S power-supply came with additional cable for the remote.
I found my remote. :rolleyes:

I use the cell wall-wart chargers that were made for cell phones, that bypass the USB, for convenience.👌

Rod ..

Adding this just cause that's where I headed to find the Manuel.
