Frequently Asked Questions - TwoWay Charging Hub DJI

Which batteries can I charge with the DJI bidirectional charging station?

The station is compatible with the DJI Mini 2 Intelligent Flight Battery (model BWX161-2250-7.7). It is not suitable for other DJI battery models.

What charger should I use to charge the batteries?

It is recommended to use the DJI 18 W USB charger or any FCC/CE certified USB charger supporting Quick Charge or USB Power Delivery protocols.

In what order are the batteries charged?

The batteries are charged in descending order of power level, meaning the most charged battery is charged first.

Can I use the station as a power bank?

Yes. Insert a flight battery into the station without plugging in a charger, then connect an external device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) to the USB port. The battery then serves as a power bank. The batteries are discharged in ascending order of level (the least charged first).

How do I change the charging priority between batteries and external devices?

By default, the internal batteries are charged first. To give priority to external devices, press and hold the function button for 2 seconds. Battery charging resumes after external devices are fully charged or after 4 hours.

What do the LED status lights mean?

Each battery port has 4 LEDs. Fast blink: fast charging; slow blink: standard charging; very slow blink (2s interval): extremely slow charging (unsuitable cable); LEDs solid on: battery full; all LEDs blink sequentially: no battery inserted.

How long does it take to charge three batteries?

With the DJI 18 W USB charger, the charging time for three BWX161-2250-7.7 batteries is approximately 4 hours (laboratory result).

Does the station work with chargers other than DJI's?

Yes, any FCC/CE certified USB charger supporting Quick Charge or USB Power Delivery is suitable. However, using an uncertified charger may result in slow charging or safety risks.

How do I maintain the charging station?

If deposits appear on the metal terminals, clean them with a dry, clean cloth. Never touch the metal terminals. Place the station on a flat, stable surface during use.

Is the station compatible with DJI Mini 2 batteries?

Yes, it is specially designed for the DJI Mini 2 Intelligent Flight Battery (BWX161-2250-7.7). It is not compatible with batteries from other DJI drones.

Warning

1. When using the DJI Mini 2 Two-Way Charging Hub (hereinafter referred to as "charging hub") to charge the DJI Mini 2 Intelligent Flight Batteries, it is recommended to use a DJI 18W USB Charger or an FCC/CE-certified USB charger that supports Quick Charge or USB Power Delivery protocol.
2. Place the charging hub on a flat and stable surface when in use. Ensure the device is properly insulated to prevent fire hazards.
3. DO NOT attempt to touch the metal terminals on the charging hub.
4. Clean the metal terminals with a clean, dry cloth if there is any noticeable buildup.

Introduction

The DJI Mini 2 Two-Way Charging Hub is designed both to charge Intelligent Flight Batteries connected to the battery ports and external devices such as a DJI Mini 2 Remote Controller, smartphones, or tablets connected to the USB port. The following scenarios explain more about how the charging hub works.

1. When a charger is connected to the charging hub with the Intelligent Flight Batteries inserted and external devices disconnected from the USB port, the charging hub will only charge the Intelligent Flight Batteries.

2. When connecting a charger to the charging hub, with the Intelligent Flight Batteries inserted and external devices connected to the USB port, the Intelligent Flight Batteries will be prioritized by default. The external devices will be charged when all the inserted batteries are fully charged. Press and hold the function button on the charging hub to switch to charging the external devices first.

3. When the Intelligent Flight Batteries are inserted into the charging hub, with external devices connected to the USB port and the charger disconnected from the charging hub, the batteries can be used as a power bank to charge the connected external devices.

Usage

Charging Intelligent Flight Batteries

1. As shown in Figure A, insert the battery into the battery port until there is a click. Connect the charging hub to a power outlet (100-240 V, 50/60 Hz) using a USB-C cable and a DJI 18W USB Charger.
2. The Intelligent Flight Battery with the highest power level will be charged first and the rest will be charged in sequence according to their power levels. The status LEDs will glow solid white after the corresponding battery is fully charged. Remove the battery from the charging hub as shown in Figure B.

Using Intelligent Flight Batteries as Power Banks

As shown in Figure C, insert the Intelligent Flight Battery into the charging hub without connecting it to a charger, then connect any external device to the USB port in the charging hub. The Intelligent Flight Battery with the lowest power level will be discharged first and the rest in sequence according to their power levels. The status LEDs will display the power level of the battery that supplies power when the external devices are being charged.

Press the function button on the charging hub once to activate charging if charging does not begin automatically.

Switching Devices to Charge

When inserting the Intelligent Flight Batteries into the charging hub, if both a charger and external devices are connected to the charging hub, it will prioritize the Intelligent Flight Batteries and charge them first. After all the Intelligent Flight Batteries have been fully charged, the external devices will be charged.

Press and hold the function button on the charging hub for two seconds to prioritize charging external devices. Charge for Intelligent Flight Batteries will be continued after the external devices are fully charged or they have been charged for 4 hours. When charging external devices, press and hold the function button for two seconds to switch back to charging Intelligent Flight Batteries.

• When the input of the charging hub is lower than 5V/2A, there is a chance that the USB port will be unable to charge the external devices.
• When charging an external device such as a smartphone or tablet, if it has high standby power consumption, the charging hub may not detect whether the device is fully charged. In this case, charging will not switch to Intelligent Flight Batteries automatically until after charging the external devices for 4 hours. Users can manually switch the charging priority by pressing and holding the function button.

Checking Battery Levels

The status LEDs will display battery levels for three seconds after the batteries are inserted into the charging hub. Users can also check the battery levels by pressing the function button once. Refer to the section below for the battery level description.

Status LEDs Descriptions

Charging Status

Each battery port has its corresponding status LED array.

Status LEDs in an array blink successively (quickly)	The battery in the corresponding battery port is being charged using a Quick Charge charger.
Status LEDs in an array blink successively (slowly)	The battery in the corresponding battery port is being charged using a normal charger.
Status LEDs in an array blink successively (slowly for approx. 30 s, then blink very slowly with a gap of 2 s)	The battery in the corresponding battery port is being charged. In this case, charging will be extremely slow. It is recommended to use another USB-C cable for charging.
Status LEDs in an array are solid	The battery in the corresponding battery port is fully charged.
All status LEDs blink in sequence No battery is inserted.

Battery Level

Each battery port has its corresponding status LED array, from LED1 to LED4 (from left to right). The battery level description is the same as the one for the battery level LEDs on the aircraft. Refer to the DJI Mini 2 User Manual for more information.

Abnormal Status

The abnormal status display of each battery status LED array is the same as the one for the battery level LEDs on the aircraft when inserting the battery into the aircraft. Refer to the DJI Mini 2 User Manual for more information.
