    Hello Modal AI / Forum Team,

    I recently purchased the PX4 Autonomy Developer Kit (Modal AI VOXL), including the battery and charger you supplied. However, I am unable to connect the charger to the battery — the plugs don’t seem to match.

    Could you please help me with the following:

    How do I connect the charger and battery?

    Do I need an adapter or extra cable assembly/connector to mate the charger and battery? If so, what is that part name, and where can I obtain it?

    Any photos of the intended connection (battery side, charger side) would help me verify what I have vs what is required.

    I greatly appreciate your help, as I’m eager to get things up and running without damaging components.

    Thanks in advance,
    Mamun

      @mamuncanada That wall power is for powering the drone for desktop development, NOT for charging batteries. Do not attempt to do so.

      You'll need something like this for battery charging: https://www.getfpv.com/isdt-k2-air-bluetooth-20a-dual-smart-charger-discharger-ac-200w-dc-500w-x2.html?afid=aVlOV0hBdmd6THc9&referring_service=google-cpc&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=DM - NB - PMax - Shop - No-index - SM - ALL | Full Funnel&utm_content=pmax_x&utm_keyword=&utm_matchtype=&campaign_id=20799936859&network=x&device=c&gc_id=20799936859&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20796067361&gbraid=0AAAAAD8cN5L9gJu3gV54RY_LjzcQ-VdGt&gclid=CjwKCAjwxfjGBhAUEiwAKWPwDhmXgNPnOV8SQg3gtjuQcSNseWxDj6bsaCzj63BcRzyTE2uFVeRWORoCsjEQAvD_BwE
