Thanks for that. Bit beyond my diy skills unfortunately.
I came up with a portable option using a spare lipo battery and one of these ...... https://goo.gl/dTTR4v
Charges 2 spark batteries in about 50 minutes and can also charge the RC.
what 12v power pack are you using to charge the two Spark batteries?

Hello, I make my own charger for Spark battery.. I use pads on bottom the battery... Input in battery 13,05V and 2A... I created battery dock and print it.. For regulating voltage and current I use CC/CV regulator from ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/LM2596-D ... :g:tZ4AAOSwo4pYP~22) and set 13,05V and 2A on output.. I added Step-Up DC-DC converter too. My charger works from 10V to 20V input voltage.. Need FAN COOLER!!! Battery is charged after cca 45 mins. It is very simple :-) .
Do you have the pins configuration of the 6-pins connector of the battery. Thank you.

Can not find the right header to make connector, have to go your way.
Use a switching power adaptor 12v 1.5 A. Working fine.
Again, thank you.
Please guys: need help.... I would like to create a charger with like your system, but when i apply 12 or 13V to the pads, but nothing happens. Where i get wrong?
Thanks in advance

That'll be the Smatree charger .... http://smatree.com/Products/1335.html
Seems to be out of stock for now.
I absolutely LOVE my Smatree portable charger that I bought for my Mavic Air. If I still few my Spark everyday I would get this in a heartbeat. It's more expensive but also more versatile. You can just plug it into the wall and charge batteries like a normal charger OR you can take it with you on the go and use it as a portable battery charger. I think you can charge like 6-10 Spark batteries from this thing. I use my charger for the Mavic Air ALL THE TIME.
I have the Smatree SP90...got the original version that had issues...but I liked it...then got the new upgraded version. It's great!!! I have four batteries....three can be charging while I fly with the fourth. I get six charges on batteries taken to 10-15 percent. Three batteries at once charge in less than 55 minutes. The only limitation in the field is waiting for the batteries to cool before charging. As I move from launch site to site, I can usually start charging the first battery as I start my third flight. I use is when travelling a lot so I usually don't make all my flights from the same site. The unit is about half the size of DJI's and takes 4-5 hours to charge.
