The long-awaited DJI Mini 3 Pro drone has finally arrived in Australia at D1 Store sporting an all-new Intelligent Flight Battery design, engineered specifically to squeeze every second of flight time possible into the battery cells. But how do you charge these batteries safely and efficiently? Let's find out!
Let’s kick things off with the most conventional method of the bunch; your standard USB wall charger. Just like practically every gadget we own these days, the DJI Mini 3 Pro can be charged directly via the drone’s rear USB-C port.
We all have countless wall power adapters floating around our homes but it's best to use the manufacturer-recommended DJI 30W Charger or a similarly rated charging adapter like the UGREEN 20W Smart Charger. These smart wall chargers are programmed to provide power to your batteries at a consistent current to maintain the integrity of your battery cells. It's best practice to use a DJI-supported wall charger to ensure that your batteries stay in tip-top condition, flight after flight.
Battery charging hubs provide an ultra-convenient way to charge and safely store your batteries at the same time and have been a fan favourite accessory for DJI pilots with each drone release.
What’s unique about the battery charging hub for the Mini 3 Pro is its two-way charging abilities, a carryover feature first introduced on the battery charging hub for the previous-generation DJI Mini 2. What does two-way charging do? Two-way charging allows you to not only charge your batteries via the hub, but also use your batteries to charge other devices when you’re in need of a charge. This effectively turns your charging hub (with charged batteries) into a handy portable power bank, providing a quick and easy charging solution for your remote control or smartphone when you’re running low on power.
Unlike for larger DJI drones and batteries including the DJI Mavic 3, DJI Air 2S or DJI FPV, DJI does not produce a dedicated car charger for the DJI Mini 3 Pro, due to the lower power consumption of its batteries.
So how do you charge your batteries without a DJI car charger? Well with the industry-leading UGREEN Fast Car Charger of course! The UGREEN Fast Car Charger charges up to 30W via two ports and can be used to charge your Mini 3 Pro directly or can be attached to the Mini 3 Pro Battery Charging Hub to charge multiple batteries in one go.
Charge your DJI Mini 3 Pro on-the-go, in your bag, or from practically anywhere with a portable power bank and manufacturer supported USB-C cable. Charging via a portable power bank like the value-for-money D1 Portable Power Bank makes it to quickly charge in situations where you forget to charge before leaving home.
Power banks are also a great option for charging batteries in the background whilst you fly or for charging up your remote controller or smartphone before take-off. Plus, they’re not exclusive to drone batteries and can be used to charge tablets, smartwatches and more!
