Fix for slow charging Air 3 batteries

If using the DJI Air 3 battery charging hub to charge batteries, you’ll need a 100W charger to charge the batteries as quickly as possible (60 minutes per battery). Connecting the battery hub to anything less powerful (especially less than 65W) will lead to very long charge times.

Here are some 65W/100W charging options:

It is very important to use a ‘PD’ rated USB cable as well. Other cables may significantly limit the rate of charge to just a few hundred milliamps. E.g., That cable that came with your phone 5 years ago is very likely NOT going to do it.

Hi!

I have the Anker 100W charger and it works well with about 60W directly at the Air 3.
but when I use it with the charging hub it only charges with 30W. Any ideas?
Same issue with another charger

Hey there I am curious how you made out with this issue. I am currently having a similar issue. I have a 65watt charger which charges 65w when charging through the drone. But then when I plug the same cable and power adaptor into the battery hub it drops down to 40watt. Makes no sense

I solved it by buying another charger. If you want I can send you the links of both of them. One for car and one for home. Both are now working excellent and really fast

Yes that would be great! I had bought a anker 735 so 65w charger and I have yet to see it charge at 65watt. Usually only 39watt. Very curious what you ended up getting. Much appreciated

Finally after many fails with other chargers this one is perfectly working at home:

With this cable: INIU 240 W USB C Cable, PD Fast Charging Cable USB C to USB C, Nylon Braided Charging Cable USBC Charger for iPhone 16 15 Pro Max Samsung Galaxy S25 S24 S23 Ultra Pixel 7 iPad Pro MacBook: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories

It charges in the hub with 65W

And for car use: LYONGTECH LCD Car Battery Charger for DJI Air 3S, Air 3 Drone, 3 in 112 Volt, Fast Charging Hub Accessories: Amazon.de: Toys
It can charge 2 batteries at the same time and if I remember it correctly it charges each with 50W. So it is faster for two batteries than the hub. Perfect for outdoor use (with car)

Thx for that I will have a look. Wow a 180watt charger. And a 240watt cable. Interesting how that actually works. Wonder what’s special about those products to make the charging go to 65watts. I’m amazed you only get 65 watt out of a charger then supports 180watts. But I guess that’s combined speed between all the ports that I am now reading.
