Car charger for zino battery

[Mavros777]

With the h501s I was able to use the car cigarette plug to power the charger to charge the battery because the charger required 12v. The zino charger needs 15v to work. It would be good to be able to provide a car charger for sale. Like when going camping or somewhere else where you don't have access to a powerpoint. I see laptop car chargers that can output 15v at 4 amps but I worry that the amps are too much because the zino charger accepts 1 amp.

I have made a car charger that works. This will come in handy if you're camping or boating etc and you only have access to a cigarette plug. With the h501s, it's a straight 12v plug in to the charger but with the zino the charger wants 15v. So I purchased a voltage step up converter for $4 from ebay. This converts the 12v to whatever voltage you want up to 38v, in this case 15v. Had a flight, drained the battery to 28% and two hours later a fully charged battery. I have attached a picture to show the setup.

Why not grab something like the SkyMax RC B6 mini. Seen a lot of youtube videos where they mention using them from a car lighter

Well this is $4 vs $60 for that one. Also mine is simple and there's no need for complicated setups. I just plug mine into the standard charger and connect the battery and that's it. Cheap and simple.
