Do not buy or use the Thor Triple Charger board. It is very difficult to seat the batteries and if not done just right it will cause a short and fry the battery and the DJI charging unit it uses for power. I found this out the hard way and it cost me a battery. Not Cool.

Yeah, but they also blatantly lie about the capabilities of their products anyway. I would not touch their products with a 40 foot pole.

Keep in mind that using 3rd party chargers will void the warranty on the batteries.

This is the cheap little $15 strip board that holds three batteries. Absolute junk and dangerous.

Quad (quadruple) battery charger, GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD... HA

This one will charge, discharge, even deep cycle... image.jpeg
If it weren't for the hefty price tag, I would already have one, for my four intelligent flight battery packs. ;-$

I have been using for over a year with no issues. I place the barcode of battery face up, and seam of charge connector down. No problems.. Any ideas for better multi charger? Stock sequential charger takes way too long to charge all... Happy flying!!

If you are going for a Multi-Charger .... do yourself a favour and get one that a) charges all simultaneously, b) is safe and fully regulated ....

And wow ---- look at that price !! You can near buy 2 of these for ONE single charger !!
