This is the second time I’m charging my batteries, but the light indicator is blinking differently than I expected. This is my first drone, by the way, so I’m not sure what’s going on.
Mine does the same thing and works fine. It charges the battery with the most charge first, then works its way down. I don’t think anything is wrong with yours—it seems normal based on my experience.

Actually, two of my batteries are already fully charged. I just don’t get why the light sequence is different this time. The first time I charged them, each battery was charged one after the other after it got full. Thanks for sharing your experience, though. I think I’m okay.
That’s exactly how it should behave if you’re using a charger with 65 watts. If you use a slower charger, the lights will follow the same pattern, but it’ll take longer.

Is there a reason you’re using a 65W charger? Even with power loss, it seems like it outputs a lot more current than the battery needs?

I don’t think you really need a 65W charger. It’s not charging the batteries in parallel. The website even says you only need 30W for it to work.
Yes
Check the manual
Fast blinking means fast charging. It charges the most full battery first.
It looks odd to me when one battery does the sequence and then they all flash. I’m used to the sequence continuing until it finishes, and then the next battery gets charged the same way.
Is your battery hot?

Nope, it’s not hot.
Yep
It’s checking the batteries and prioritizing the one that’s most likely to run out first, so it charges that one first.
Hi, thanks for bringing this up. Try unplugging all the batteries, plug in the charging hub first, and then plug in a battery to see if the lights behave the same way. If they do, maybe send it back for inspection.
Yes
Look at the manual, but this might be because the batteries are too hot. They should start charging once they cool down.
Check the manual first. The charging box scans the batteries and charges the most full one first. In your case, since you’re using fast charging, the lights will blink quickly. Four green lights mean fully charged. One green light means the battery is empty. Other statuses are explained in the manual, but your batteries might be empty or overheated. It seems normal, no need to worry.
I think it charges the lowest battery first, then moves to the next one.

Actually, it charges the most full battery first, then moves on to the next highest one. This way, you get a full battery quickly to keep flying.
