Hello all,
Have an Inspire 2 and sometimes fly a mavic and phantom 4 owned by a client of mine. I’ve been using a 2000 watt inverter (cigarette plug) in my Tahoe and it charged the I2 batteries no problem except the cord would get really warm and the inverter would alarm so I’d shut it down fir a few minutes and everything was ok.
When I fly my clients mavic and Phantom I noticed the inverter wasn’t charging the batteries. I have a power outlet in my Tahoe on the center console and tried it out and that works. Not sure if my inverter is broken. I tried hooking up to the battery via the alligator clips and same problem. The display says it’s the correct voltage outpu.
I haven’t flown my I2 in a while so I don’t know if the inverter will still charge the I2 batteries. I was on a shoot and a guy had a phantom and was using a cheap little inverter and he said it would start to charge and then cut off. Looks like some of these inverters are hit or miss.
I was wondering what everyone is using and what works best. I know about the dji car charger and that it takes a good while to charge with it so I’d like to stay with an inverter so I can charge the ipad etc while I’m at it.
