OK, this is slightly strange. I found this post while looking at recent posts. In the listing, it shows there was a post 6 hours ago, but in the thread, the most recent post is almost a year ago...
In any case, could not vote as the Mavic Mini is not listed (was not out when the poll was created). However, have four batteries for my Mini. I bought the Fly More Combo so that gives me one battery in the Mini and three in the charging hub. Most of the time, I don't really need that many, but last week I was shooting both video and stills of a five day bicycle ride. There were a few times were I was having a little trouble keeping batteries charged. I had enough cables with me that in a pinch, I could charge a battery in the charging hub, another in the Mini, the controller, and my phone - all at the same time if I needed to. Most of the time, I had the DJI supplied AC adapter plugged into an inverter, and had that AC adapter plugged into the charging hub - because it would supply more current than the cigarette lighter to USB adapter. The charging hub has the advantage that as soon as one battery is done, it will start charging another battery - without me having to do anything. I would plug in the RC into the cigarette lighter to USB adapter any time I had a longer gap in flying - even if it did not really need it. Similar concept with my Android - plug it in whenever there was a good opportunity.
If I was flying and knew I would not for a while (either no riders coming for a while, or moving somewhere else), I would normally swap in a fully charged battery so that next time I flew, I was not battery limited as soon as I took off. Even if that meant that swapped out a 60% battery.
