Sorry if this is thread drift but I don't seem to ba able to create a new thread.

I have an old Air2 - not an Air2S so when the new Air 3 was launched earlier this week, I ordered one.
Fantastic delivery direct from DJI - next day delivery.

I ordered a fly more pack with the RC2 controller (the one with the display).
This pack doesn't come with a charger so I've been using some USB chargers that I have (10w and 15w).
My existing USB chargers have charged the RC2 Controller which I have activated without any problems.
But I cant get the drone batteries to fully charge - either directly on the drone or within the charging hub.
They only charge with 3 lamps not the full 4 lamps.
I guess I need the DJI charger but that doesn't make sense.
I took one of the part charged batteries, put it in the drone and was able to download the latest firmware.
The drone seems fine but the batteries still don't fully charge.

This is going to be a great drone though.

Anybody have any ideas?
  

Everything looks great - not flown it yet because I'm having some problems with the new batteries.

You will need a 65W charger or better. The DJI offerings are great as well as others available via Amazon.  Check page 13 of the manual.

Thanks for that quick response.
That all makes sense - I have a 100w USB charger on order from Ebay at the moment.  I bought it because it is small enough to fit in the Air 3 case (if ir works)

I missed those notes in the manual - explains my problem:-

Here is that part of the manual pasted to save anyone reading this with the same issue:-
It is recommended to use official DJI chargers to charge the Intelligent Flight Batteries,
such as the DJI 65W Portable Charger or the DJI 100W USB-C Power Adapter. If you use
chargers that are not officially provided by DJI, even if their maximum output power
meets the requirements, they may not be able to maintain the maximum power output
during the whole charging process due to the limitation of the charger's thermal
performance, so the charger may overheat and the charging speed may slow down.
• When charging the battery mounted to the aircraft, the maximum charging power
supported is 65 W. Therefore, it takes the same amount of time when using the DJI
65W Portable Charger or the DJI 100W USB-C Power Adapter to fully charge a battery
mounted to the aircraft, which is 1 hour and 20 minutes.

To add more detail, the DJI Battery charger requests 20v and 5A from the USB-PD power adapter.
Not many USB-C cables can handle 5A, and they need an active e-chip to indicate that they can.

So, unless your USB-PD charger and the cable both claim to support 5A, it won't charge at 100W
(I haven't checked, but I think it stays at 20v lower-current if the whole thing can't do 5A.)
If voltage drops significantly below 20v (19.5?) then you can see it drop down the current draw as well.

With the right charger, it really does draw a measured 99W of power -- that's quite a lot!
The whole assembly of batteries and charger can actually overheat itself at 100W and trigger the "three blink" LED code for battery-too-hot-to-charge.

I'm not sure 100W charging is good for longevity, so I've downgraded to a 65W USB-PD for non-urgent charging.

Charging in the drone itself is also cooler/slower at 65W.

Download the latest version of DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drone Series). You can refresh the controller and Air 3 that way. You can find it here.
