Hi all

Here's how I charge up my batts in the field. Both batts simultaneously charged in approx 60mins

It's called the OmniCharge Pro....best portable charger I've ever use. Really like the integrated 110V AC output.

i would rather buy more batteries instead of a 250$ power bank. (5 batteries will get you over 1h continuously flying)

Well I didn't buy this just for the spark. It provides additional juice my MacBook Pro 15"  when I'm on shoot assignment.

Then it is a good Investment, but only for the spark it would be a little extreme

I just bought a RAVpower portable charger for $49.99 on Amazon. I was going to buy 2 batteries, bringing my total to 6, but I opted for 1 battery and this instead. Figured this would also charge my RC while I am out shooting.

I also own this bank, only downside being you can't use the hub to charge your batteries and have to use the spark instead.  Great bank though, charges batteries several times, and will also charge controller, phone, ipad,  etc.

Here's the other solution  having the AC connector is key as it will let me fast charge the batts using the batt tray. USB charging can be slow at times.
