Hello guys! I'm new here and recently I bought a Phantom 4 Advanced. How long it takes to charge the 5850 mAh battery?

to take a full REcharge it's around an hour. If it's a first charge maybe an hour 30.  When all the lights stop flashing and go out, it's full !

Less than an hour per battery.  But, as said earlier, not done till the lights are off.  The controller is another issue.  I have found that it takes significantly longer, don't expect the controller's charge to be quick.

Right, I think that the controller longs 3~4 hours to charge...

Lower voltage on the charger maybe?
Since the RC battery is about the same size as the AC battery.

I dunno... That's all black-box voodoo... I get into the weeds on the stats of the flight, not the components of the hardware.

The more you know and understand about your flight kit, the happier you shall be.


The brilliant components and intelligent flight packs, help keep the amateurs in the air.

As long as you have RTFM, you should be fine... Ha

I have never flown the RC battery right down, so don't know how many  hours of flight time it actually provides. That might be something we should know...

Not being a EE or an electrician the website says "The Phantom 4 Series Battery Charger is used to charge the Phantom 4 Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller by connecting to a power outlet. It will take approximately 1 hour 10 minutes to fully charge a Phantom 4 Intelligent Flight Battery."  It does not seem to account for a partially charged battery, but one could assume that typically a charge will take less than the stated 70 minutes.  I know of nothing that states how long an RC takes but I have found thus far that it takes over an hour and less than 3 but then again this was not a fully depleted batt in the RC.  I have not done it enough to have more data for a better answer.

It took 4 hours the first time I charged my controller, and it would be good if DJI actually said that in the manual.

I've never set up a timer, but it seems like my P4 batteries can go from about 20% to fully charged in about an hour, maybe a little less.

It usually takes about 70 mins to fully charge a battery with original charger. As for the controller, the charging time is about 3 hours.

How long to charge all depends on level of charged state at beginning of charge. There is no set time to it.

Its same as asking "How long is a piece of string ?"

But if it takes more than 1 hour to charge a flight pack and more than 3.5hrs for Controller ... then that indicates possible problems.

It has taken me as long as two hours, depending on how low the battery is.

I don't know how long... It's something I probably ought to track but I don't.  If I get about 25 min per battery (it still has some but I never fly more than that) and I have 4 batteries, and I use each 3 or 4 times before I charge my charger..... so 5 hrs (real rough estimate..???)

I couldn't say for the Pro3. I have a P4 standard. I easily get 3 batteries' worth of flight time from one controller charge. It's for you to judge before each flight whether there remains sufficient charge in the controller battery. As indicated on the readout of your tablet/phone display.
Fly safe.
