How the hub works

  • Batteries charge in sequence, with the fuller battery prioritised.
  • The hub’s power accumulation function moves remaining energy into a higher-charged battery; it does not create extra energy.
  • The hub can supply power to external devices. Follow its instructions for mode changes and battery handling.
  • The power adapter is separate. Match it and the cable to the hub’s USB-C power requirements.

Choose the power source

DJI recommends its 65W Portable Charger, 100W USB-C Power Adapter, or a USB-C PD supply rated at least 60W for efficient charging. The shape of a USB-C connector alone does not establish its power capability.

Isolate a charging fault

No batteries charge

Check the outlet, adapter, cable and hub input before blaming all the packs.

One pack fails

Only if undamaged, compare it with a known-good pack in the same setup. Interpret lights using the hub instructions.

One bay behaves differently

Record the bay and indicator behaviour; do not force contacts or dismantle the hub.

Battery features remain separate

An Air 3 Intelligent Flight Battery is compatible with Air 3S, but Off-State QuickTransfer is unavailable with that battery installed. A shared hub does not remove that aircraft feature limitation.

Buying guidance

Compatibility before supplier links.
