Charger came with my Phantom. Also bought an extra battery. The first battery charged correctly..no problems... charging bat#2 charger smoked/fried.

Only thing I can think of, is that the black and red wires going into the charger were reversed

This has never happened to me and I have 5 of these chargers. They are not very well made but they worked for me. What kind of battery were you charging on it and did you set it to the right cell setting when you charged said battery?

With phantom1 you connect directly to the battery balance connector. I am not sure if you have the same with phantom2. If you will be able to tap power to this light, I believe it will work.

Rick, I had one my LP-E6 not play too nicely at first, and it would not even really provide a state of a percentage of load. However after awhile, I got my charger a few months ago, every battery charges and plays nice; both Original Canon and non Canon Batteries. Try reseating the platform where the batteries connect to, and see if that changes it any.

Aloha! Yes, the charger come with the DJI Phantom 2, but only concern I get is the camera is not unstable on the air, so you'll to buy a stabilizer for around $700 - 900 made in Germany. I hope you like, I returned mine until they figure out this situation. Take care.

Nope. This might be a knock off styled battery charger, or the batter itself might be broke. Do you have any other batteries to try out to see if it's the charger itself or the battery? Someone you can borrow from? Do some testing to pin down what it is that isn't working here. Good luck.

I ended up using a friends extra charger that they had. If you buy one from Best Buy or somewhere legit it's probably about $30-$40. No wonder it was so cheap!

Hello Neil, you could use the wires coming from the phantom for you transmitter power supply instead of using the battery, cuz it will add weight on ur phantom , you can find it on YouTube on how to do it, but if you still want to use the batteries then u can buy a charger for that from any hobby center or shop. Hope that answered your question :)

Same here, I bought two of these chargers, one was fine..the other one had a broken brass strip on it and the battery will not charge on that side. I was wondering the same, how do I get a replacement as this one is obviously defective. I don't want to have to go through the whole process of having to repackage it, sending it out again, and waiting for the replacement. I was very disappointed.

Mine came with a charger and two sets of batteries. One set turned out to be bad though.

I don't know. The item I received was clearly either flawed construction. I can't insert my battery in the charging unit. Ironically, I subsequently found my spare charger, which is exactly identical to this one (same markings, etc.). My older charger holds the battery. Upon close inspection I believe the charger I received was just poorly manufactured. No surprise as it's essentially a cheap knock off of the real thing. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I am charging my batteries with the original charger that came with the Ar.Drone. I have not had the opportunity to time the charge time.

it comes with the universal plugs, if it plugs perfectly with the phantom im pretty sure it will fly, what you have to check its the battery venom 4000 is a litter bit bigger than the stock that the phantom brings, so if you attach it with velcro on the bottom or something it should work fine, check that before buying!

When you order this battery it will noy come with charger. Youll have to use the charger you got when you ordered your DJI or purchase another. This is only a battery

This made specifically to plug into the balance charger, the white connector, on the DJI Phantom. I did not particularily care for tha, so I opened the Phantom. Inside there are a couple of power leads that have no connectors on them. They are long enough to pull out through the holes in the bottom of the Phantom. I soldered JST connectors on it and plug it into the light. I also got a small, light 3 Cell Lipo battery that you can velcro to the bottom of the Phantom. Hope that helps.

The charger should light-up when plugged into computer or power source AND not plugged into copter. That's the first test.Ensure you have a good connection at the copter. Your copter battery could be worn-out - is copter old ? Otherwise I would agree the charger is bad.

If you get the Phantom 2 PnP adapter you will not need to charge it. It will run off the Phantom 2 battery.

You need to get a charger. I didn't use the battery's I ran the wires straight to my phantoms power source
