I'm considering getting one of these "Thor Fast Chargers" for my new Mavic 2.

I've had one of these for my spark and it has worked fantastic, but since the risk is much higher for a $1200 drone if something goes wrong, I was wondering if they are any safety issues with these "fast chargers"?

I've read a couple of reports of them failing.  Others suggest no leaving them unattended and charging on a concrete floor.

Hi, we appreciate sharing this to our co-pilots, but it is recommended to use the original and supported chargers. We cannot guarantee the efficiency of the above-mentioned charger since this is a third party product. We hope you understand. Thank you for support.

You should ALWAYS be in reasonable proximity of your charging system, when it's ON and charging.  Please, take the time to listen and watch this.  At the time Jim was the President of the SEFSD club here in San Diego.  He know's what he is doing.  He even currently teaches UAV at Grossmont College.
