I received my 2 chargers yesterday, it did charge 4 batteries that were between 20-30% in about an hour and 15 minutes. I modified my GPC case a bit to fit them in. Looks like I have room for another 2 batteries

how's the heat emission from this charger? anyone have a amp meter could show the current draw from socket? I'm wondering if I could use this in my car with my AC invertor ....

I will check the temp with my infrared temp gage later today.

I received two. One works perfectly and the other only 3 out of the 4 battery leads is working. I'm working it out with them to get a replacement.

Have you tried connecting this to a car inverter?

One of mine has lasted just under 2 weeks, this little resister/thermister piece has burned up. I have a message to the seller. I will wait and see what they say.

This is one of my concerns - risk of fire.
I suspect the unit isn't UL listed?

If your confidence in a product of this type is predicated on the presence or absence of a logo or certification mark on the case then do not purchase this item.

You need to form your own opinion of its safety and make sure you use it in a way that takes any concerns you may have into account.

I certainly don't blame anyone that prefers to stay with genuine DJI product for something like this.

Yea I hear ya. I'm probably ok if more people use it and don't have significant issues. I'll always keep an eye on it when charging anyway.
