I have been waiting for something like the TB50 for a long time. As someone who is out shooting all day frequently I have looked for an integrated, well built charging solution that could help me manage my power all day long.

The DJI battery station is built inside of a rugged, SKB/Pelican style cakes. It fits carry n dimensions and can transport up to 12 TB50 batteries along with WCH2 charging hubs, WB37 batteries and various cables.

The battery station can charge up to eight TB50 batteries simultaneously. It can also charge other devices including the Inspire 2 remote controller and WB37 Intelligent Battery via multiple charging ports, and mobile devices via USB ports. The 2 USB ports provide 5V 2A for power.

In addition to charge and discharge capabilities, the DJI Battery Station provides information about your batteries to ensure proper management. When a TB50 Battery is attached, its current firmware version will display on the station's LCD screen. The battery station has a USB port to connect directly to a computer at that point the Battery Station can update up to eight batteries to their latest firmware version through DJI Assistant 2 on the computer

Over the course of using the battery station I used all the different charge modes, it has 3 charge modes to choose from depending on your need at that moment,

Normal mode, eight connected TB50 batteries can be charged simultaneously, until all batteries are fully charged.

Quick mode, the four TB50 batteries with the highest battery level in the same group will be charged to 90% inabout 35 minutes.

Silent mode, charging speed is lowered to provide a quieter charging cycle in noise sensitive areas

This isn’t a “cheap” solution at $1199 but if you are someone with an Inspire 2, Matrice M210 or Ronin all kitted out then you are already in for $10k-$25k in your equipment and this is likely a piece of equipment that you are going to find a huge use case for.

This has saved me hours and hours of time in maintaining my batteries and keeping them at the right discharge levels for storage and keeping enough power on set all day long for extended shoots.
