Got this today and appears to be working ok.

It can charge all 4 air2 / 2s batteries at once in about 110 minutes.  Also has usb 3A output for phones and controllers.
You can also flick the switch and charge to 60% which is known as storage charge.  I know these batteries intelligently do this themselves so may only use this for winter when not flying.

From a well known online retailer but can get from AliExpress if you are prepared to wait.

For the UK it was £8 more than getting from Ali as they had postage and duty.  I got the next day using UK site which was worth not waiting.

Looks great! However, I'm still a bit hesitant of using non-DJI chargers with DJI batteries which are very expensive.
Where did you buy this charger? I'm interested of getting something like this in the future too!

Also, I'm surprised that the DJI Moderator didn't say that "it isn't recommended to use third party chargers for safety reasons"!

It was Amazon.  Never leave batteries on charge regardless of dji or non branded charger.  I have used lots of lipo lion chargers for model aircraft for ages.  This charger reduces amps as it gets to the end of the charge cycle which is what most hobby chargers do

Personally i dont like the air2s rectangle charger as it seems fiddly to seat the batteries.  Personal choice using this.

After i charged the batteries i checked them on the dji charger and there was no more to give

Great!
I know it's risky, however I do leave DJI batteries charging overnight and even when I leave the house.
This is only because I treat them good enough to know that they will not randomly combust. I have been flying regular LiPos before DJI drones, and with those I was more careful, I didn't leave them charging like that overnight.

DJI batteries have protection circuits in them, plus the DJI official chargers have another board that controls the charging, so it's pretty unlikely for them to light on fire. One exception is if the batteries are already damaged, swollen, punctured, and so on…

I have been using this for a year now. This was a good charger but now it doesn't want to charge to 60% to all my four batteries.

Sometimes it skips one battery randomly and I have to re attach the connector to get it to 60% several times before it starts to charge. I have tested for faulty cable / port / batteries and there are no issues there, it's the charger itself.

I recently received this charger, and it seems to be well built and of good quality, it does exactly what it is supposed to do. I checked the output voltage, it was fine. All in all I am happy with it.

I purchased one of this from Amazon. I tried to charge a battery and I noticed that, except when connected to channel #1, the charging stopped at 12.2V (not 12.6V), that corresponds to 92%. On channel #1 the charging continues, but I cannot accept this behaviour: I expect all the channels work in the same way and provide a 100% charge. I don't know if it's a defective item, or if the overall project is wrong.
I sent it back.

Nice Charger. I have this one from the same company.  It charges slightly faster but otherwise looks very similar.   It has been great so far!

On the Amazon site is says this charger has a storage feature that will only charge the batteries to 60%

From the listing on Amazon:

【Storage Charging mode】Using 60% Storage charging mode, batteries with less than 2 cells will be charged to 2-3 cells. NOTE: In this mode, if the battery level is higher than 40%, the battery may not be able to charge. Long-term storage of the battery, storage mode can reduce the bulging caused by the full charge or the dead caused by the battery power is too low

Maybe you accidently put it into Storage charger mode?

From the listing on Amazon:

Sorry for the late reply. I am well aware of its functions. I meant to say that when it is set to storage mode (60% charging), it will randomly skip one of my four batteries and only charge it up to 2 LEDs. Upon reconnecting the battery it charges normally to 60% (3rd LED blinking).

This behavior is new and there is a possibility that it is not even the charger but rather one of the batteries itself.
