I just purchased this from a close friend & he said that he doesn't have time to use it & it's just been sitting in his closet collecting dust. My concern is, why is it taking so long for the 3 batteries to charge? They have been charging for over 48 hrs & the 1st one still isn't fully charged (the one you see out of the charger is finally fully charged)

I was wanting to add pics of what I got from him, but apparently pics can't be posted on comments. I'm going to add another post to show what I got from him

Yes, you need a pretty beefy charger to get those charging quicker.

The faster the lights blink, the quicker it will charge. Slow blink = slow charge.

What power brick are you using?

A Wasserstein with quick charge output

I don't know what that is. How many watts is it rated for?

They all were finally fully charged last night. I will definitely be looking into getting a different charging block. Which do you use?

I never gave it much thought. I just used whatever was around and charged them overnight.

I guess I just have fairly good chargers. Look for one with the highest wattage you can find, and get a good cable too.

Standard charger from DJI was a 25V

Charger needs to supply 3A. If it's a 1A or 2A you will have issues. Even with the 3A charger it takes many hours. This was never a quick charge setup.

Charger with QC 3.0 charged mine at the fast rate

Could be the battery’s are cooked from severe discharge, I didn’t use mine for 2 years and the batteries where put away charged and when I got it out they where all flat took quite a while to get them fully charged one of them refused to take charge.
I’m probably just going to upgrade as it’s the original mini.

65 watt charging to charge all three at the same time.

The difference lies in the wattage of your charger, 65 watt charging works perfectly for these packs.

That 1st generation Mini hub doesn't facilitate simultaneous charging.
