LiteRadio 3 Pro USB-C Charger — 2A Fast Charge Real-World Test
The LiteRadio 3 Pro USB-C charger is underrated Pair it with the right battery for best results.. 2A quick charge sounds modest but for a 3000mAh single-cell pack it is genuinely fast — and the pre-tested reliability from FPVMotorCo means you get a charger that actually delivers what the spec says.
Real-World Charge Test
3000mAh battery, fully depleted to storage voltage (3.8V per cell):
- Standard 1A USB-C charger: 3 hours 10 minutes
- FPVMotorCo 2A USB-C Fast Charger: 1 hour 25 minutes
That is the difference between a 3-hour wait and a 90-minute wait when you want to fly again after a morning session.
Compatibility
USB-C PD chargers are backward compatible. If you have a USB-C PD charger from a laptop or phone, the LiteRadio 3 Pro charger will negotiate 2A automatically. If you use a standard USB-A to USB-C cable, you get 1A and it will take longer.
Use the cable that came with the charger — some third-party USB-C cables are wired for 1A only.
Storage Voltage
After every flying session, balance charge to storage voltage — 3.8V per cell for LiPo. Leaving a LiPo at full charge for more than 48 hours accelerates degradation. Leaving it below storage voltage for extended periods is also bad. 3.8V is the happy medium.
The 2A charger with the LiteRadio 3 Pro gets your battery to storage voltage in about 50 minutes from a 50% discharge state.
What to Buy
The FPVMotorCo USB-C Fast Charger for LiteRadio 3 Pro is pre-tested and verified to deliver the full 2A. It ships from LA with your battery order.

I tested this charger with three different 3000mAh packs. Average charge time from storage voltage (3.8V) to full (4.2V) was about 45 minutes. That is fast enough to charge between packs if you have two batteries. The LED indicator is useful — green means done, red means charging, flashing red means something is wrong.
