What is safe amperage to charge the controller? Power switch off or on during charging?
Thanks

I've always just plugged it into a computer usb port or a 5v phone outlet adapter (the basic block that comes with 99.9% of all phone chargers). No issues after 7 months so far.

Please check the spec on the DJI website: http://www.dji.com/phantom-3-standard/info#specs
You can switch it off or keep it on when charging, the LED status will be different, but they will be solid green when it's fully-charged.

Hello,
You can use any good quality USB charger. The output voltage would be regulated 5V.  The input current (Amperes) to the RC controller is determined by the state of charge of the battery. There is a very simple and inexpensive device that you simply connect  between the charger and the power cable to the RC controller. This way you can monitor both voltage and current. You will see the current reducing as the battery charges. Hope this Helps.

thanks all. Didn't want to ruin my new unit. I do miss the controller buttons for video and pics as on my p3 4k.
