When DJI announced and launched the Mavic Air back in January they also listed the Mavic Air car charger as an official accessory. It has been listed as “out of stock” since the Mavic Air launched as it was still in the production stage. For those who have been patiently waiting for the Mavic Air car charger to be released, good news it can finally be purchased as of this week.
The Mavic Air car charger allows you to charge your Mavic Air batteries while out on the go via your vehicles 12-volt accessory port (cigarette lighter). You can charge a single battery, or the car charger can be used in conjunction with the charging hub that came with the “Fly More Combo” kit, allowing you to charge 4 batteries. Keep in mind when using the charging hub it functions the same way as when plugged into a traditional wall socket. It will charge one battery at a time from the most charged to the least.
There are other alternatives for keeping your Mavic Air batteries charged on the on the go such as a power inverter or a portable drone charger. However, these can be expensive and heavy to bring with you. Not to mention there are many that only wish to use genuine DJI gear as not to damage the batteries which some cheap 3rd party knockoffs have the potential to do. For the price, I think the Mavic Air car charger is a nice solution for keeping your Mavic Air batteries charged on the go.
