About the battery charging mechanism
• Battery packs in the battery slots facing up/
down cannot be charged at the same time.
Charging starts from the battery slot into which
the battery pack was inserted first. The other
will be in a standby state, and will start charging
when the battery pack that started charging first
has completed charging.
• Up to 4 battery packs can be charged at the
same time.
• If you turn on the battery station with the battery
packs already inserted into the battery slots,
charging starts from battery slots 1 and 2.
• If the temperature of the battery pack is too
high, such as immediately after flight, charging
will not start due to the protection function. The
battery status LED will repeat blinking fast twice
in orange and the cooling fan will automatically
start. When the battery pack cools down to a
chargeable temperature, charging will start
automatically.
