The DJI Mavic controller is an essential part of flying your drone. It allows you to control the drone’s movement, take photos and videos, and adjust the camera settings. However, if the controller is not charged, you will not be able to fly your drone.
There are two ways to charge the DJI Mavic controller: using the USB port on the controller or using the charging hub that comes with the drone. To charge the controller using the USB port, simply connect the USB cable to the port on the controller and then to a power source. The controller will begin charging immediately. To charge the controller using the charging hub, first connect the charging hub to a power source. Then, insert the controller into the charging hub. The controller will begin charging immediately.
The DJI Mavic controller takes about 2 hours to charge fully. Once the controller is fully charged, the LED indicator on the controller will turn green. You can then disconnect the controller from the power source and begin using it.

To charge your DJI Mavic controller, you can connect it to a power source using the following methods:
**USB Cable:**
1. Connect the USB cable to the controller’s USB-C port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a USB power adapter or computer.
3. The LED indicator on the controller will blink while charging, and turn solid when fully charged.
**Micro-USB Cable:**
1. Connect the micro-USB cable to the Mavic Air 2’s micro-USB port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a USB power adapter or computer.
3. The LED indicator on the controller will blink while charging, and turn solid when fully charged.
**Battery Bank:**
1. Connect the battery bank to the controller’s USB-C or micro-USB port, depending on your controller model.
2. Start charging the controller by pressing the power button on the battery bank.
3. The LED indicator on the controller will blink while charging, and turn solid when fully charged.
**Charging Time:**
The charging time will vary depending on the power source used and the remaining battery level. Here is an approximate estimate of charging times:
| Power Source | Charging Time |
|---|---|
| USB Power Adapter (5V/2A) | 2-3 hours |
| USB Port on Computer | 3-4 hours |
| Battery Bank (10,000mAh) | 3-4 hours |
Using a Charging Hub
A charging hub is a great way to charge multiple batteries at once. It is also a good option if you want to charge your batteries while you are on the go. There are many different charging hubs available, so you can choose one that fits your needs and budget.
To use a charging hub, simply connect it to a power source and then insert your batteries into the charging slots. The charging hub will automatically charge your batteries in the correct order and will stop charging when they are full.
Here are some of the benefits of using a charging hub:
• It is a convenient way to charge multiple batteries at once.
• It is a good option if you want to charge your batteries while you are on the go.
• It is a safe way to charge your batteries.
• It is an affordable way to charge your batteries.
Here are some of the things to consider when choosing a charging hub:
• The number of battery slots it has.
• The type of batteries it is compatible with.
• The charging time.
• The price.
Here is a table that compares some of the most popular charging hubs:
| Charging Hub | Number of Battery Slots | Type of Batteries Compatible | Charging Time | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DJI Mavic 2 Charging Hub | 4 | DJI Mavic 2 batteries | 1 hour per battery | $49.99 |
| PowerVision PowerRay Charging Hub | 6 | PowerVision PowerRay batteries | 1 hour per battery | $59.99 |

The controller has three LED indicators that show the charge status:
- Red: Charging
- Orange: Charge level below 20%
- Green: Fully charged
2. DJI Assistant 2 App
The DJI Assistant 2 app can be used to monitor the charge status of the controller. The app will display the current charge level as a percentage.
3. DJI Go 4 App
The DJI Go 4 app can also be used to monitor the charge status of the controller. The app will display the current charge level as a percentage.
4. Battery Indicator on Controller Screen
The controller has a battery indicator on the screen that shows the current charge level as a percentage.
5. Charging Table
The following table provides the charging time and battery life for the DJI Mavic controller:
| Charging Time | Battery Life |

Understanding Charging Time
The time it takes to charge the DJI Mavic controller can vary depending on several factors, including the type of charger used, the battery level, and the ambient temperature. Here’s a general overview of the charging time:
Standard Charging
Using the standard 5V/2A charger, it takes approximately 2 hours to fully charge a completely depleted controller battery.
Fast Charging
With the fast charger (12V/3A), the charging time is significantly reduced to around 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Battery Level
The remaining battery level also affects the charging time. A partially charged controller will charge faster than one with a completely depleted battery.
Ambient Temperature
Extreme temperatures can impact the charging process. The controller charges optimally at temperatures between 5°C and 40°C. Charging outside this range may be slower or less efficient.
Battery Degradation
Over time, the controller battery may experience some degradation, which can affect the charging speed. Older batteries may take slightly longer to charge fully.
Charging Status
The controller has LED indicators that provide visual cues about the charging status. When the LED turns green, the controller is fully charged. If it blinks green, the controller is still charging. A flashing red LED indicates a charging error.
Common Charging Issues
If you’re having trouble charging your DJI Mavic controller, there are a few things you can check.
1. Check the Charging Cable
Make sure that the charging cable is securely plugged into both the controller and the power source.
2. Check the Power Source
Make sure that the power source is providing enough power. Try charging the controller from a different outlet or USB port.
3. Clean the Charging Ports
Dirt and debris can build up in the charging ports over time, which can prevent the controller from charging properly. Use a cotton swab or compressed air to clean the ports.
4. Reset the Controller
If the above steps don’t work, you can try resetting the controller. To do this, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds until the controller turns off. Then, turn the controller back on and try charging it again.
5. Check for Firmware Updates
If your Mavic controller is not charging properly, there may be a firmware update available that can fix the issue. To check for updates, connect the controller to your computer and open the DJI Assistant 2 software.
6. Contact DJI Support
If you’ve tried all of the above steps and your Mavic controller still isn’t charging properly, you should contact DJI support for assistance.
7. Use a Different Charging Cable
If you have another micro-USB cable, try using that one to charge your controller. It is possible that your current cable is damaged.
8. Try Charging the Controller from a Computer
If you have a computer with a USB port, you can try charging your controller from the computer. This can help you determine if the issue is with the controller or the power outlet.
9. Check the Battery Level of the Controller
If the battery level of the controller is too low, it may not be able to charge properly. Try charging the controller for a longer period of time, or try using a different charging cable or power source.
| Battery Level | Charging Time |
|---|---|
| 0-25% | 1 hour |
| 25-50% | 1.5 hours |
| 50-75% | 2 hours |
| 75-100% | 2.5 hours |
