Introduction

The C8000 Intelligent Battery Station can connect with up to two batteries. While charging, the battery station monitors the status of the batteries and can automatically adjust the charging current if required. The battery station continues to charge even if the ventilation holes are blocked.
Users can check the battery charging status LEDs and the warning indicator on the operation panel of the battery station to confirm if there are any errors. The battery station can be connected to a remote controller using a USB-C cable and users can launch the app compatible with the aircraft to check more detailed information regarding any errors. Additionally, the battery station has the following functions: overcurrent protection, overcharging protection, under-voltage protection, overheating protection, and status display.

Operation Panel

1. Charging Status LED × 2
   Each LED indicates the charging status of the battery connected to a charging cable. The numbers (1-2) correspond to the position of the charging cable on the battery station.

2. Warning Indicator
   The warning indicator will be on if the battery station detects any abnormalities. If the indicator turns solid yellow, connect the battery station to a remote controller using a USB-C cable to confirm if there are any errors.
   If the indicator turns solid red, stop charging immediately. Only start to charge again once the indicator is no longer solid red.

3. Power Button
   Press to power the battery station on and off. It is recommended to press the power button and unplug the AC power cable to power off the station.

Activation

The battery station requires activation before using for the first time. If the warning indicator is solid green, it means the battery station has not been activated. Follow the steps below to activate the battery station:

Method 1: Using the App

1. Connect the battery station to a power outlet.
2. Connect the battery station to the USB-A port on the remote controller using a USB-C cable.
3. Press the power button to power on the battery station.
4. Run the app compatible with the aircraft and follow the prompts to finish activation.

Method 2: Using DJI Assistant 2 (MG Series) / (Delivery Drones Series)

1. Connect the battery station to a power outlet.
2. Connect the battery station to the computer using a USB-C cable.
3. Visit www.dji.com to download DJI Assistant 2 (MG Series) / (Delivery Drones Series). Install and run the software.
4. Press the power button to power on the battery station.
5. Use your DJI account to log in and click the corresponding charging device and follow the prompts to finish activation.

Make sure the computer or remote controller is connected to the internet during activation.

Using the Battery Station

Up to two batteries can be connected to the battery station. Follow the instructions below to use the battery station.

1. Connect the battery station to a power outlet.
   **** Each AC power cable must be connected to a separate AC power outlet or power strip with a rated current of more than 16 A.
   Only use one AC power cable when using the battery station indoors. This will reduce the maximum power output by half.
   *Users can set the max charging power limit in DJI Assistant 2 according to their requirements to avoid safety risks such as short circuits due to excessive power.

2. Connect the battery to the battery station. Make sure to place the charging battery on the same side that the charging cable is fixed to the battery station.

3. Make sure all cables are correctly connected and press the power button on the operation panel of the battery station. The two LEDs and the warning indicator will flash simultaneously.
   After powering on, the only lights remaining will be the charging status LEDs, which represent the batteries currently connected. This indicates that self- diagnosis is complete and the device is working normally. For more information about how to check if there are any errors during self-diagnosis, refer to the LEDs and Warning Indicator Description. Alternatively,  connect the battery station to a remote controller and launch the app for more detailed information about the errors.

4. If no errors are detected during self-diagnosis, the battery station will begin to charge the batteries.
   Using DB2000 Intelligent Flight Batteries: if two batteries are connected simultaneously, the battery station will charge the battery with less power first. When the two batteries show the same power, the battery station will charge the batteries simultaneously.
   Using other batteries: if two batteries are connected simultaneously, the battery station will charge the batteries in order of their power level, starting from highest to lowest.
   • Before use, make sure there are no obvious defects on the battery station or batteries (e.g., jams, breakages, or short circuits).
   • DO NOT power the battery station on unless the batteries are correctly connected.
   • When using DB2000 Intelligent Flight Batteries, the battery station will warm up a battery to 22° C (72° F) before charging if the battery station detects a low- temperature battery. When using other batteries, the battery station will automatically adjust the charging current based on the condition of the batteries. For example, if the battery temperature is below 15° C (59° F), the charging current will be limited and the charging time will be longer. The charging time depends on the battery model and battery temperature. The lower the battery temperature, the longer the charging time will be. The charging temperature range varies depending on the battery model. Refer to the document of the battery to check the charging temperature range.

LEDs and Warning Indicator Description

During charging, the status LED will blink when the corresponding charging battery is experiencing an abnormality due to the cable being disconnected, a high or low temperature, overvoltage, or overcurrent. Once charging is complete, the status LED will be solid green. The battery can be disconnected from the battery station.
