Hi I have seen that dji do a very expensive car charger now - but its not wise to use your own car battery for this kind of load a 12v leisure battery is designed to be drawn down and last must longer however this is besides the main issue I have.
The phantom 2 battery is classed as 11.1v but when charged is more like 12.7v so could a 12v battery ever fully charge a 12.7v battery ?
11.1 volt battery = 3 cells x 3.7 volts (3S)
so is the phantom battery 11.1v or 12.7v ? Answered my own question here ..
Most LiPo/Lion cells are 3.7V nominal (4.2V max and 3.2V min) So the nominal reading is what is showing... SO can this video be on the mark (2 videos in fact)

I assume for a 5200mah battery for charging at 1C this means a charge amps of 5.2 ?
So I would need a power of IxV 5.2 x 12.6v = 65 watts - I am thinking the mercury ex may not be up to this newer age of power supply. Or it simply charges at lower than 1C and just takes longer ? The above 1C charge rating would presumably take an hour ?
at 2C or 10.4 amps x12.6v (should I use nominal figure or max V?) 131 watts power needed.
at .5C 2.6 amps x12.6v = 32.76 watts but agonizingly 2 hours charge time ?
Am I getting these rough figures right ? I could live with a 45 - 60 minute wait time.
Is that possible from a 12v leisure battery..
