need advice to choose an inductive charger solution

Post by jlcurty »

Hi,

I d like to build an inductive charger for the Parrot Mini drone Sumo. Instead of removing the battery, I d like to send the drone to a location where it could charge its battery.
my first idea is to stick this Universal Qi Wireless Receiver Module on the body and use the QI charger but I see that there is another product : INDUCTIVE CHARGING SET - 5V @ 500MA MAX, according to your experience, which one would be the most suitable ?

here are the battery specs I found
Batterie rechargeable Lithium-ion Polymère
550mAh - 3,7V - 2Wh
Charge à 1A maximum
Environ 1h30 de temps de charge

thanks

Jean-Louis

We have no experience in using these with a drone, but the inductive charging set is less expensive and works at a greater distance - the Qi really needs to be touching - so the set is probably better. Let us know if it works!
