Purchased from www.smartpowercharge.com.  To follow up I have read conflicting reports on using the controller port to charge another battery. I will not be doing it but others have.

Im having issue now with it fully charging my Inspire batteries.  As soon as they come off they are only showing 97-98% charged in the app.  I can top them off with the factory DJI charger but I didnt buy this charger to have to do that.

Ah... Someone with this issue.

The issue had been mentioned by another user and that was the firs ...

Mine does this as well. I can usually charge for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Over on rcgroups a member who is selling these things claims that it is just doing some balancing stuff.

I don't buy that explanation. Neither the SPC nor the stock-brick perform any balancing. The ba ...

Paul,
Are you saying that when you pull the battery off the SPC, and plug it in to the Inspire launch the DJI APP it shows 22.2v for TB47, and 22.8v for TB48?  Does the DJI APP show 100%?  
After reading the voltages, have you turned the batteries on, connected them to the DJI charger wait for the LEDs to go out (full charge), then put them back into the Inspire and checked the voltages on the DJI APP?

Do they read the same battery and cell voltages?

It is a great charger. I mounted some white drawer pull handles on top of mine to make pulling out of my iseries case easy. Had to take outer shell off to drill and screw through. Came out nice.

I agree if it doesn't put a full charge there is no reason to have to resort to using the inspire 1 charger to top it off. It defeats the purpose. I'll check mine over this afternoon and see if anything has changed.

If there is a problem they should have a fix for this problem.
