Charging cord dealers ?

Mach Buffett · Jan 31, 2019

G’day from Downunder,

Can anybody point me to a source for a second charging cord please ?

I find it a bit annoying that I cannot charge the drone and the controller at the same time. The battery takes so long to charge, ( with the chord supplied), that by the time both the drone and the controller are charged it’s either an all day/ night exercise.

Parrot Australia don’t sell it as a spare part or accessory.

Thanks in anticipation.
Regards Mach

I have best experience with USB-C PD chargers like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Charger-ZMLM-Certified-Delivery-Nintendo/dp/B07GJP599L
You can charge the Anafi battery fast (about 100 mins) with the USB-C PD port and you have 3 further ports for Skycontroller, smartphone, a second battery ...

I would think any USB-C to USB cord would do the trick, or even USB-C to USB-C if you have something like a macbook pro charger (which charges the batteries in about 1 hour)

To too am from Australia, here is a Amazon AU listing for a power delivery charger, I assume it has a AU wall plug, the top power delivery port should charge the anafi drone battery in about 1 hour, the other ports could be used to charge the controller or none power delivery devices

EDIT - slightly cheaper PD charger - https://www.amazon.com.au/Charger-C...HP4A2ACPN5V&psc=1&refRID=3JJAJDPG6HP4A2ACPN5V

Question for people using PD chargers, what cord are you using to charge the anafi batteries, I guess you also need to buy a USB-C to USB-C cable capable of using the higher wattage.

Using the USB to USB-C cable that came with the anafi with a PD charger wouldn't be utilising the full speed from a PD charger?

Most USB-C PD chargers come with a USB-C to USB-C cable.

It is not necessary to buy new cable as a PD charger charge at 12 volts max 1.35 Amp while a standard 5 Volt USB charger sends just over 2 Amp to the battery. In fact, fewer amps is going through the wire and it's the amps you have the wire loss from, not the high voltage.
