I purchased a DJI spark this year. It's great but the battery can only work for ~15 min (although I have two batteries). Why doesn't DJI produce a car charger for spark?

I think you can plug the spark using the cable onto a usb charger in a car.

Thank you for your reply. I think a car charger like Mavic car charger is more convenient.

Really? Dear administrator, do you confirm this?

I have this little USB car charger with 2 different outputs.

The high voltage should be enough. But don't expect a fast charge.

We would recommend users use QC3.0 charger to charge your spark. For your drone's safety, please use the recommended charger.

I would look for a cheap qc3.0 car lighter dongle.
Check that is has higher output voltages than 5V. QC3.0 and QC2.0 allow that, but it may not be implemented.
This is one of the more expensive ones:

I have a small inverter 150watt use for my laptop in the RV - works great for other stuff too including the spark.

They are cheap on amazon

I've got me one of these and it's wonderful, I can just plug in the charging hub and charge 3 batteries at the time plus the remote and mobile device or a fourth battery with the Spark.

Epic fail, Elektra.  That link is broken.  error 404.  Still saving up my DJI points for that Portable Charging Station

I need to take a look on Amazon for that charging station.
