Controller Charge Time?

[beamerbuilder1]

Why is the RC Controller charge time so ridiculously long? Jeeze

Mine is about an hour from 25%. Don't know if that's good or bad, just the norm for my R/C.

First time charging takes hours.

Large battery capacity, and it drains much slower than an intelligent flight battery does. ;-)

Out of the box completely dead took a half hour before I even saw a light. Thought it was DOA. Took almost 5 hours to completely charge. Haven't charged it again yet (only flew 3 times so far) so can't comment on partial charges

had the same thing. was very concerned at time.

It's a smart idea, that we can check both of our battery levels (RC and flight) from within the Go App. ;-)

I assume the controller battery can be charged when ever. I usually charge mine when it hits 50%

My P3 Pro just arrived today... controller been on the charge since around 11. Still charging at 1513 lol. Hurry up and charge dammit!

Long time. I can't say for sure I I just leave it to charge and come back a few hours later. However, it's also dependent on the charger you are using. Charging from a USB port is going to take a _very_ long time. Using a wall USB charge is going to be faster but I find that cheap wall chargers can be slow as well.

I've had th3 controller on charge now since around 11... it's now 2100 and it's alternating flashing between three and 2 lights...

Any ideas?
