Howdy all,

I saw this on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rapid-3-Por...624?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item2a4e666830

and I am wondering if they are effective or if they mess up charging of the batteries in any way.
I'd like to use the high power inverter in my van to charge more than one battery at once and I am hoping to do it without using more than one AC adapter but NOT at the expense of the batteries life or charging time.

Ideas?

BTW there are several eBay seller that have versions of the same thing. I picked that one at random.

Thanks!
 
I use this charger personally although its a little pricey:

I just got the Smart Charger that Jacob posted about. This charger looks and works great. Little pricey but the convenience is really nice. I charge all of my USB devices on this also for that quick turn around time. I have read all of the post's and the price comparisons of different chargers prior to my purchase and am happy I decided on this one. Anyway, it's your decision and this is just one of many ways to charge your Dji batteries. I'm sure you will get more opinions and comparisons. Safe flying.

I see a lot of these smathree battery charger or 3 battery plate that you post, that charge batteries in the time that took charging them one by one. So if for one battery the time is 80min to charge, for 2 will be 160 and for 3 will be 240. Totally useless at these conditions. Would be nice an adapter that allows to charge 2+ batteries at the time that took to charge one...

Look at this

I have the ebay one and it works great. Yes it takes time , but I'm usually not in a rush. I also have 4 batteries so I get plenty of time to fly.
Or buy a couple of extra chargers. You can only charge at a certain rate.

Yes but it would be good if the rate provided is given at the same time to each battery. If a multi battery charger took the same time to charge like if i use the stock one and change battery when is full charged, is totally useless.

I have one and it charges all 3 at the same time. The trick is to turn the batteries on.

Yes at the same time but how long takes to fully charge 3 batteries? 240~ minutes? If this is the condition is totally useless...

No I had 3 going at about 50% level and it was like an hour or so for all 3. You can look on Amazon and see the reviews or post any questions or concerns you have.

Can you give me the amazon link you're referring? Thanks

Ps: works even with 2 batteries instead of three?
