[QUOTE="Locutus40, post: 94931, member: 13216"] its just strange it works at all.. what id like to see is if you can say have a 50 percent battery plug that in and see if you get one more bar or fill it up then it would confirm it works right... might take hours because power banks really arent 2.1 amps there like 1 amp at most.. the chinese companies lie a bit a good power bank will cost in the hundreds.. see i have a cheap one 30 bucks i might try .. see if that gives me anything.. i just find it odd that the spark needs 12 volts... well the wall charger says 5 9 and 12 so thats odd.. if and why dji did that makes no sense.. so if it only needs 5 volts at 2.1 amps then why give us a mains charger capable of 9 volts and 12.. now a step up converter depending on the type needs i think min 5 volts to step up.. but it might be at max capacity thats why the spark gets hot while charging.. notice the top of the spark gets hot.. the higher the input say 12 volts ups it to 13 it does not work hard only hard work is dumping 2 amps in the battery not voltage... i dunno im amazed it even works.. see my step up i use to make 13.8 volts needs a min of 10 volts to make 13 volts it cuts off below 10 its a ebay special.. cost me 5 bucks but is able to do 2 spark batts at 5.2 amps just fine... then again im dumping in 12 volts at what ever it can take amps wise... ill try my little charger thing see if it works.. i mainly now use my custom one i built because i noticed if i charge via the spark it only gets to 98% and if i charge via my way it goes to 100% and 10 times faster so maybe the spark has a smaller amp draw and thats why its able to take 5 volts i dunno... we will never know till we get the schmatics [/QUOTE]
