Scenes to be Used

The LKTOP 200W Mavic 3 series three-channel charger supports AC power cord or common charger set input. It is equipped with three battery slots, which can charge three Mavic 3 series batteries at the same time and use the Type-C interface to remote control the Mavic 3. It can charge C devices such as mobile phones; at the same time, it can also be used as a power bank when paired with a Mavic 3 series battery to charge common electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.

 

Charging the Intelligent Flight Battery

Powered by the standard AC power cord charger, without the Mavic 3 series battery inserted, the power recorder shows that the power at this time is only 0.92W under no load.

Powered by the standard AC power cord charger, when a Mavic 3 series battery is inserted, the power recorder shows that the power at this time is only 109.5W.

Powered by the standard AC power cord charger, when two Mavic 3 series batteries are inserted, the power recorder shows that the power at this time is 225.2W.

Powered by the standard AC power cord charger, when three Mavic 3 series batteries are inserted, the power recorder shows that the power at this time is 227.8W. At this time, the charger will intelligently detect the battery power and give priority to the battery with the highest remaining power. The charging time of the first battery is about 60-70 minutes, the second battery is about 70-80 minutes, and the third battery is about 80-90 minutes. minute.

Switch the LKTOP 200W Mavic 3 series three-channel charger to 95% fast charging mode (the 100% icon continues to flash), and the charging efficiency can be further improved. The first battery charging time is about 40-45 minutes, and the second and third battery charging time is about 40-45 minutes. About 60-65 minutes per battery.

 

In addition, if you forget to bring the original AC power cord when you go out, you can also use a common charger set to power it.

Using an Apple 140W charger with a high-standard fast charging cable for power supply, when a Mavic 3 series battery is inserted, the current input power measured by the POWER-Z KM003C tester is 20.13V 4.36A 87.80W.

 

Using an Apple 140W charger with a high-standard fast charging cable for power supply, when two Mavic 3 series batteries are inserted, the current input power measured by the POWER-Z KM003C tester is 20.13V 4.43A 89.15W.

Using an Apple 140W charger with a high-standard fast charging cable for power supply, when inserting three Mavic 3 series batteries, the actual input power measured by the POWER-Z KM003C tester is 20.12V 4.58A 92.15W. Although the overall charging power is longer than the original AC line, it can also play an emergency role.

 

Simultaneously charge the Intelligent Flight Battery and external devices

When using the standard AC power cord charger, in addition to charging three Mavic 3 series batteries at the same time, the Type-C interface can also support an output of about 10W at the same time. In daily use, it can charge the DJI Mavic 3 remote control and other devices Charge.

 

In the same scenario, if only one Mavic 3 battery is charged, the Type-C interface can support an output of about 100W at this time. The current input power measured by the POWER-Z KM003C tester is 19.58V 4.64A 90.9W, which is 19.58V 4.64A 90.9W for MacBook Pro. Charging laptops and other devices is also stress-free.

 

Use the smart flight battery as a power bank

Short press the battery switch once, and then press and hold the battery switch for more than 2 seconds to turn on the Mavic 3 series battery. At this time, you can see that the indicator light on the top starts to light up.

Without connecting the charger, insert the Mavic 3 series smart flight battery and connect the external device to the Type-C interface to charge the external device.

In this scenario, the Type-C interface of the LKTOP 200W Mavic 3 series three-channel charger supports up to 100W output. Connect the Type-C interface to the MacBook Pro and use the POWER-Z KM003C tester to measure that the current input power is 19.58V 4.65A. 90.95W.

 

Product Testing

Charging Compatibility Test

In addition to charging the Mavic 3 series smart battery, this charger can also be used as a power bank. When paired with the DJI Mavic 3 series smart battery with a capacity of 77Wh, it is equivalent to a common 20,000mAh power bank. It supports up to PD 100W output and can be used for mobile phones. /Charge electronic devices such as tablets.

LKTOP 200W Mavic 3 series three-channel charger and Mavic 3 series battery charge Huawei MateBook X Pro laptop. The measured power is 19.87V 4.90A 97.42W.

Putting the data into a table, most mobile phones can handle the 9V voltage range. Some mobile phones with good PPS fast charging compatibility can handle the 15V voltage range or high current. Tablets, laptops and other devices can handle the 15. 20V voltage.

Drawing a histogram, we can see that the charging power of mobile phones of different brands is mainly distributed in 15W, 18W, and 25W. For some mobile phones with good PPS compatibility, such as vivo X100 Pro, the charging power can even reach about 80W. In addition, For other major handshake PD fast charging protocol game consoles, laptops, etc., it can basically reach the maximum charging power of the device itself, and the overall fast charging compatibility is excellent.

 

Full Charging Test

The LKTOP 200W Mavic 3 series three-channel charger supports up to 200W charging. Use the original power cord to charge three Mavic 3 series batteries at the same time, and connect the PA300 series power meter to record the charging data. The test results are as follows.

Plotting the charging data into a line chart, it can be seen that it takes 31 minutes to charge 50% of the outdoor power supply using the original high-power charging cable, 50 minutes to charge 80%, 95% recharge in 1 hour, and 1 hour 21 to fully charge. minute.

 

The LKTOP 200W Mavic 3 series three-channel charger also supports USB-C 100W input. The charging head network uses Apple 140W to charge three Mavic 3 series batteries at the same time, and uses POWER-Z KM003C to record the charging curve.

After the power was turned on, the LKTOP 200W Mavic 3 series three-channel charger shook hands with 20.5V voltage and maintained the power at 90-95W for 2 hours and 27 minutes; then the power dropped sharply and charging ended at 2 hours and 47 minutes.

Plotting the charging data into a line chart, it can be seen that using Apple 140W to connect the LKTOP 200W Mavic 3 series three-channel charger C port to charge the Mavic 3 series battery, 50% takes 1 hour and 16 minutes.

 

It takes 2 hours and 2 minutes to charge 80% of the battery, and 2 hours and 47 minutes to fully charge it.

 

Summary of charging head network

LKTOP 200W Mavic 3 series three-channel charger provides 60% storage mode, 100% charging mode and 95% fast charging mode, which can cope with different usage scenarios. In addition to charging the Mavic 3 series battery, it also has a USB-C interface that supports 100W two-way fast charging. While using the original 200W AC power cord to charge the Mavic 3 battery, you can also control the drone through the USB-C interface. charge devices such as monitors. In addition, the three-channel charger can also be used as a power bank when paired with Mavic 3 series batteries. A single battery is equivalent to a common 20,000mAh power bank and can charge mobile phones, computers and other devices. According to actual tests, it can be provided for different brands of mobile phones on the market. Good fast charging power.

 

In the actual charging test, using the original 200W AC power cord in 100% charging mode, it only takes 82 minutes to fully charge three Mavic 3 series batteries at the same time. If the 95% fast charging mode is turned on, the overall charging efficiency will be higher; in Even if you don’t bring the original power cord, you can also use a 100W or above charger set to provide power. In actual testing, Apple’s 140W charger and KTOP 200W Mavic 3 series three-channel charger were used to charge three Mavic 3 series batteries. The whole process only cost 2 Hours 47 minutes.
