There are actually more options than what you have listed.
For the 2 you stated, it comes down to either using the hub, charging only 1 battery at a time, or multiple chargers (which would cost a lot more), charging one battery per charger.
But you should also consider that the car charger chargest much faster than the standard charger. Then, there is also an upgraded hub, which works with the charger from either the P4 or Inspire (I forget which), which will still only charge one battery at a time, but do it even faster. Then, you have 3rd party charging options, where it's a single plugin charger, with 3 tails, charging 3 batteries at the same time, plus 2 other devices via USB. This option would be cheaper than purchasing several plugin or car chargers.
I think the best thing to do is to stick with the components that come with the Fly More package, and then purchase a couple more batteries, if needed. By the time you drain all of your batteries, the charger will have a couple of them charged back up again. But how long do you really plan on flying during a single session? If you get even 20 minutes out of each battery, then that's an hour of flight time. In reality, that's a long time to be flying without taking a break.
Do you actually have a drone yet? Or are you someone who has ordered a Mavic, and while waiting for it is possibly overthinking what you may or may not need? If you are someone who actually WANTS to (or needs to) fly for more than I would, then I recommend having more batteries, and not more chargers. Get them charged up and then flying. The reason I say this is because it's bad for the battery to go on the charger if it's hot, and after a flight, it would be. The battery needs a reasonable amount of time to cool, so charging time is not the only issue.
In the end, I would *hope* that 3 batteries would be enough for most people, and the standard charging hub will be sufficient. Though I understand that some *might* have a need to fly longer. |
