The Aeroo Smart Controller has a built-in 4500mAh battery that gives you up to 6 hours of flight time on a single charge. Here's everything you need to know about charging it correctly and what to expect.
What You'll Need
A charger is not included with the Smart Controller. To charge it, you'll need:
- A USB-C to USB-C cable
- A 27W or higher USB-C wall charger (recommended)
Using a charger below 27W will charge the controller more slowly. For the best experience, a dedicated 27W wall brick is strongly recommended.
How to Charge the Smart Controller
- Connect your USB-C cable to the charging port on the Smart Controller
- Plug the other end into your 27W+ wall charger
- The charging symbol will appear on the screen, confirming it's charging correctly
That's it, leave it to charge and come back in around 2 hours.
Important: If you have any issues, check that you have the latest firmware installed.
How Long Does It Take?
| Charger | Approximate Charge Time |
|---|---|
| 27W+ USB-C wall charger (recommended) | ~2 hours |
| Aeroo Charging Station | Longer than 2 hours |
| Power bank | Varies by output |
Can I Use the Aeroo Charging Station?
Yes, the Aeroo Charging Station can charge the Smart Controller; it charges more slowly than a dedicated 27W wall brick. For day-to-day charging, we recommend using a standalone wall charger for the fastest results.
Charging Tips
- Only charge in temperatures between 5°C and 40°C
- Avoid leaving the controller on charge in direct sunlight or a hot car
- If the charging symbol doesn't appear on screen after connecting, try a different cable or charger
