One of the main reasons I bought the Mavic Pro instead of the Phantom 4 Pro was due to its portability. I can throw the fly more bag into my saddle bag and away I go. Currently I have the ability to charge my iPhone and GoPro batteries while riding by using an Anker PowerCore 20100 from Amazon. I had hoped I would be able to do the same with a Mavic battery. But as I understand it, I can't charge Mavic batteries by USB. That is unfortunate. Since I bought the Fly More package I do have the car charger so I'm covered if I'm driving but I'm looking for a portable solution to charge a Mavic battery out in the field with my bike.
Any ideas?
On Reddit someone suggested a 12v power adapter. I'm far from an expert on batteries but the fact that the Mavic batteries can't be charged via USB (can someone explain why?) and the manual for the car charger states... "Use the car charger when the engine is running to attain optimal performance" tells me that even though the battery is only about 900 mAh larger than my iPhone 7 Plus battery, it must use more power or something to charge the mavic battery. Any battery experts here?
