I am thinking about buying a car charger (skyreat) its cheap like 25 dollars. My concern is how hard is it on the batteries. Does anyone else wonder about mulitiple chargers or car chargers damaging the batteries

If you use the "OEM" chargers from DJI, that came with your Mavic, no issues. The car charger needs the cars engine to be running (the charger needs to see 14.0 volts before charging begins, so as to not drain the battery of the vehicle. And it will be a bit slow, meant to charge while driving.

Aftermarket chargers, I dunno. I'm fine with the factory charging system(s).

I have DJI's car charger and it works fine. I get a full charge in about the same amount of time it takes to run the battery down, so usually when the current battery gets low, the previous battery is ready for use.

Honestly i dont think i would trust a 3rd party charger on the Mavic batteries, only reason i say is because these batteries need to be maintained as they are keeping your £1000 drone in the sky, if the battery fails, the drone dies. I wouldnt normally mind 3rd party on a RC car or anything else really but for the Mavic a DJI branded charger is so cheap anyway, Here is the wall charger: http://amzn.to/2t4gQ7R here is car charger: http://amzn.to/2s5hcpX I just have 2 wall chargers, cheapest option i think

Well I went ahead and got one along with the  5 in 1 charger. I didnt realize DJI made a charger for the car I just didnt research enough. I am going to give them a shot. I will use caught for a while over water or about something or someone that could be hit.

Well I just got noticed my 5 and 1 charger  order is canceled do to quality issues. So lucky me I can not worry about 3rd party chargers and just order DJI's chargers. Thanks for the help.
