Potensic® 5 In 1 X 5 Battery Charger For UDI 818A, Hubsan, FY550, WL v959 FJPJ0098
This little device has taken my quadcopter flying to a new level!, This review is from: Potensic® 5 In 1 X 5 Battery Charger For UDI 818A, Hubsan, FY550, WL v959 FJPJ0098 (Toy)
This little device has taken my quadcopter flying to a new level! I am new to drones, but I am hooked! I got a UDI 818 UDI U818A 2.4GHz 4 CH 6 Axis Gyro RC Quadcopter with Camera RTF Mode 2 for Christmas, and I absolutely love flying it. Of course the problem is that the tiny battery only lasts for around 7 minutes. The first thing I did was to get a few extra batteries. This helped, I could charge them all up and go for a while, but once I ended up with 4 dead batteries, I was back to not flying for a while and then I was stuck having to remember to switch them all over to get them all charged. Enter the Potensic 5 In 1 battery charger: Now I've got all my batteries hooked up to power all the time and I just pop one off, use it, plug it back in and grab another. So far in the couple of weeks I've used it, I've never run out of juice for flying! My attention span ends before I use all the batteries, and even if I don't plug in the last one I used, I've got three fresh ones waiting for me at all times.
The unit itself is also smaller than I thought, which means it fits easily in my drone's box. Each of the plugs fits just like the connection to the UDI itself, and the connections all seem firm and functional. A red light indicates for each port that the battery is charging and then it turns off when it's done. My only complaint is that it's sometimes not obvious which light goes to which port, but they correspond to the ports as you go counter-clockwise around the rim of the device.
One really great thing about this charger is that it just has a standard USB power connector, so you don't necessarily have to use a wall plug to use it. You can use this with a phone charger in the car or, in my case, with portable USB battery packs (I have several of them lying around). This makes it possible to actually go camping for days and bring your drone to fly around, use all the batteries and charge them up again. Very cool!
