How is the remote controller battery recharged?
How long does a charge last?

Thanks,

( my mini 2 is just leaving China.  E.A.T.  Sunday -  I am like a kid waiting for XMAS)

Plug the USB C cable with power adapter into wall & into RC, usually I go through 6 aircraft batteries before I recharge it.

Thank you.

Be prepared that with the fly more combo you will only get one charger and one cable so will need to charge the batteries first then the remote. May be worth your while getting another USB A to USB C cable and a second 18w charger so you can charge the batteries and the RC simultaneously. I get around 9 flights off a single charge with the RC.

I have flown more than 15 batteries on a single charge and it still had about half the battery left.

Better get a 36W, as the batteries will charge in just 60 mins instead of 80.

You can just fligh all day with the fly more combo and a 12v 3A cappable charger.

I also got a powerbank to recharge batteries on the outside and I can go out and do about 8 flights with just 3 batteries and the 30W cappable powerbank, wich is way cheaper than buying 5 aditional batteries.

PS: I usually recharge the RC after 4 flights or so, but it can do like 6-8 flights. I wouldn't recommend usig it on low charge thoug, the last thing you want is the RC dying midflight XD

I have a charger for my phone.  I can use that.

Hello there buehlerbg. Thank you for reaching out and for these information you have give. Congratulation on your new DJI Mini 2. The DJI Mini 2 remote controller has a 5200 mAh battery capacity. When charging the said remote controller, kindly please use USB-C cable to connect the USB charger to the USB-C port of the remote controller. It takes the remote controller approx. four hours to fully charge. Thank you.

I don't even know who uses complete chargers, which are usually the most miserable!
And who can buy a drone for 500+ USD, but can't buy a good charger for less than 50 USD....

You can use any one that meets the PD (USB Power Delivery) и QC 3.0+ (Quick Charge 3.0) specifications.

USB-C cable provided by DJI is to short!

The RC does last a very long time - especially if you don't enable it to charge the phone during flight.

What type of charger?

What type of charger?

I use several different ones for my Pixel 3a phone.

Give them a try - I think 38w is the max

One factor that affects Remote Controller Charge is if you use it to charge your phone or not. Androids default to charge always, iPhones can be switched to not charge thereby increasing your battery life of the RC.

Which powerbank do you use? I was told the Mini 2 batteries only max out at 18W when charging it. I thought even if you had a higher wattage charger, the battery would only charge at 18W speed.

According to the instructions the Two-Way battery hub for the Mini 2 has a maximum input capacity of 12v 3A, wich is 36W.

I did the test myself and with the Dji 18W (12v 1.5A) power adaptor charges a single battery from 0% to 100% in 84 minutes, and with a 12v 3A cappable charger it charges from 0% to 100% in just 60 minutes. I completelly drained both batteries before the test by using the hub as a powerbank.

Three fully drained batteries cost 4 hours and 15 minutes with the 18W power adaptor and just 3 hours and 3 minutes with the 36W capable one. Of course batteries at 30-40% instead of 0% will reach 100% much faster.

I use this charger: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product ... 5_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This cable: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product ... 5_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And this power bank: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product ... 7_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

PS: The power bank has a max output of 30W (12V 2.5A), wich is a little bit slower, but you can do 4 flights in a row easily. Also, you can charge the battery hub and the controller at the same time with the power bank when you are out in the fields. If you precharge the 3 batteries and the controller at home and bring the power bank with you, you can do about 8 flights on the field (the controller will usually handle that without being recharged).

Hello John. I'm a new Mini 2 user and would like to know at what controller battery level should i stop and put it to charge ? i have made around 9 flights and the controller still has 3 of 4  leds lit now. My doubt is : should i wait until only 1 led is left to charge the controller ? i could not find this information anywhere even in this forum!
thanks,
Claudio

Yes, when it hits one light, that signals me that it's rime to recharge.
