Connect the official battery charger to the metal-electrode notch on the Dragonfish Pro battery, then connect the charger to 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.[1]
Before you begin

Use only the battery and charging device provided by Autel Robotics. Do not charge a damaged battery or use a damaged charger.[2]

Follow these steps

  1. Check the battery and charger

    Do not charge a battery that is smoking, swollen, leaking or visibly damaged. Do not use a damaged charging device. Autel prohibits modifying the supplied battery or charger.[2]

  2. Connect and charge

    Fit the official charger interface into the notch at the battery metal electrode and connect it to AC power. Keep the battery away from flammable or explosive items while charging.[1][2]

  3. Let a warm battery cool

    After flight, allow the battery to cool naturally before charging. If its temperature is above 45°C, the battery will not charge until it falls below 40°C.[2]

  4. Disconnect after charging

    Disconnect the battery from the charger and power supply promptly when charging is complete. Autel recommends fully charging before flight. The stated approximate charge time is about 2 hours for one battery and 3.5 hours for two, and depends on remaining charge.[2]
