I couldn't take it anymore and I had to make my own power bank adapter for the M3. All it took was hot glue, a few contacts from an old laptop and a cheap 65W car adapter. Finally, I can use the energy from charged and unused batteries to charge other appliances, spill energy between batteries, or just measure voltage. It's not beautiful, but it works great!

Thank you, DJI Stephen. I don't think it would be too innovative, but I believe it will help everyone who also lacks this power bank adapter on the Mavic 3. Unfortunately, DJI didn't give me another choice.

It should have been included especially for the cost of the Mavic 3. All other combo kits came with one.

Ok so I had to go check this because I thought I was on to something..

I took a M3 battery, turned it on, put it in the multi charger and then used the USB-C out to plug into the RC Pro to charge it.

.... It didn't work.

I thought given the M3 doesn't contain a power bank, that the charger must be it. Actually quite disappointed it's not.

I love it!  Although when I hear DIY power, I immediately think of smoke and fire, this is a great example of field engineering!

Very nice! My M2P FlyMore bundle had an official one, but I guess for M3 and especially M3C it's was too much

It would be great if the charger on the M3 worked in reverse as a power bank. This is how it works with the DJI Mini 2.

Electrical engineering is my cup of coffee. I understand, it doesn't look great, but it's safe and functional. Unfortunately, it is not easy to make one special connector for an M3 battery at home.

Try asking the DJI for approval . It is also possible that there will be 3 new packages in stores in a month: Fly more + powerbank adapter, Fly more + RC PRO + powerbank adapter, Cine + powerbank adapter

I think you invented the new "Charge More" kit!
