P4 charing battery and controller together ?

[Jimph1]

Hi guys bought my new P4 yesterday and loved the first flight (upgrade from p3a).

When charging my P3A I remember an instruction advising not to charge the battery and controller together on the same charging cord. Is this the same rule of thumb for the P4 ?

You can charge both at the same time.

DJI told me not to charge both at same time

DJI sometimes spreads a lot of misinformation. Since there is no warning about this in the Phantom 4 manual, I'm assuming it's okay to do. I have never seen anyone here post that doing so has caused any problems.

As msinger says... There's nothing at all in the manual saying you shouldn't.

I've charged batteries and the RC at the same time with no ill effects. As a matter of fact, the first thing I did when I got the P4 was plug in the battery and the RC at the same time.

I wasn't going to wait for the battery to fully charge and then plug in the RC and then wait for it as well.
