5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Charging Batteries
The hub charges up to two DJI Mini 2/SE batteries in sequence, prioritizing the battery with the higher power level first.
Image: The charging hub charges batteries one by one, starting with the higher power level.
Charging Times:
- Dual USB-C Input (QC3.0/5V3A): Approximately 100 minutes for two batteries (about 50 minutes per battery).
- Single USB-C Input (QC3.0/5V3A): Approximately 160 minutes for two batteries (about 80 minutes per battery).

5.2. Checking Battery Levels
The LED indicators on the hub provide an accurate display of the battery charge level.
- When batteries are inserted, the LEDs will display their charge levels for 5 seconds.
- To check the battery levels at any time, press the function button once.

Note on Hibernation Mode:
A newly purchased battery or one that has not been used for a long time may be in hibernation mode. To activate it, first charge the battery in the drone itself. Once activated, you can then use the charging hub to check the battery level or charge it. The hub will not respond to batteries in hibernation mode.
5.3. Using as a Power Bank
The charging hub can utilize a DJI Mini 2/SE battery to charge other devices.
- Insert a charged DJI Mini 2/SE battery into one of the hub's battery ports.
- Connect a USB charging cable (not included) from the USB-A output port of the charging hub to your remote controller or other USB-powered device.
Note: USB charging cable, batteries, and phone are not included.

7. Troubleshooting
- Batteries not charging or hub not responding: Ensure batteries are not in hibernation mode. If they are, charge them directly in the drone first to activate them.
- Charging slower than expected: Verify that your power adapter provides sufficient output (QC3.0/5V3A recommended). Using a single USB-C input will result in longer charging times compared to dual input.
- Second charging cable causes issues: If using two input cables, ensure both power sources are stable and provide the correct voltage/amperage. Try using a single input to isolate the issue.
- LEDs not lighting up: Check if the batteries are correctly inserted and if the power input cables are securely connected to a working power source.
8. Safety Information
- Do not disassemble or modify the charging hub.
- Keep the device away from water, fire, and extreme temperatures.
