[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 96364, member: 10850"] That “ac brick” is actually a stepdown transformer. It decreases 120v from a wall outlet to the 13v the charging hub requires. You can’t just backfeed the micro USB port with power from a simple cable and phone style “wall wart” (or computer) — it’s the wrong voltage. The microUSB on the charging hub is data only. For firmware updates that have never happened. You can probably find a replacement for your lost brick on eBay if you look up the specs from DJI’s site. I’ve done the same with lost chargers for speakers and such [/QUOTE]
