Inspire 1 rapid charger with i2 hub

[BrenC11]

Has anyone tired using the i1 rapid charger with the i2 hub? does it work?

 

[ARF]

Yes it works fine but you have to cut off the plug and fix the correct plug for i2 charging hub.

I had to do this as I've been flying long missions and needed to rotate 8 batteries. The chargers haven't been available so I had to improvise.

Please can you explain what you mean " I1 rapid charger with the I2 hub"

I am new to the I2.

 

[BrenC11]

You could buy a rapid charger for the i1's batteries. You could plug it in the i1's hub. It changed batteries quicker.

 

[Stratospheric]

Aren't the connections for the batteries for the two drones different

 

[BrenC11]

Yeah, but the i2 hub uses the same connector as the controllers.

Please can you put a link in here for the rapid charger so I can see what you are talking about

Buy Inspire 1 - 180W Rapid Charge Power Adaptor with AC Cable | DJI Store

The standard I2 charger is already 180W...

 

[BrenC11]

oh right, so its the same thing, ha

 

[ARF]

The output voltage, amps and Rc Connector are the same but the plug different. The inspire 1 rapid charger plugs straight onto the battery and you need to cut this off and change to plug that will fit inspire 2 charging hub.

Why mutilate a $100 Inspire 1 180W charger when you can just make an adapter using some crimp on spade terminals wired to a power plug compatible with the Inspire 2's charging hub?

you would need to make sure the polarity is correct though.

 

[ARF]

I don't think it's mutilating a charger! It's a permanent fix that won't fall off or ever have a problem of incorrect polarity.

I didn't mean to criticize ARF. mutilate is perhaps a strong word. The wiring looks good.

I just meant it wouldn't work with an Inspire 1 battery anymore. (I decided to keep my inspire 1 since the resale value isn't great.)
