Charger Newell SDC-USB triple-channel for BCX204 batteries (for Osmo Action)

The Newell SDC-USB triple-channel charger is a compact charging solution for BCX204 camera batteries used with DJI Osmo Action. Designed to accept a USB power source, the charger can simultaneously recharge up to three spare batteries, offering a convenient way to keep multiple power cells ready for shooting. Intelligent charging management monitors cell voltage and current to reduce overcharge risk, while integrated status indicators provide a clear view of charge progress.

Advantages

The charger supports three batteries at once through a single USB input, reducing the number of adapters and outlets required. Its intelligent charging electronics balance safety and efficiency by controlling current and stopping charge when batteries reach full capacity. The unit’s compact footprint and lightweight construction make it suitable for transport in camera bags and luggage. Visible LED indicators show charging status for each channel, simplifying monitoring during use.

Suitable for

• Photographers and videographers using DJI Osmo Action who need multiple spare BCX204 batteries charged.
• Travel and field work where a single USB power source (power bank, USB wall adapter, or car adapter) is available.
• Home storage and preparation of batteries prior to shoots or extended recording sessions.

When it may not be suitable

This charger is intended specifically for BCX204 camera batteries; it is not suitable for charging other battery form factors or chemistries unless explicitly stated by the battery manufacturer. It requires a compatible USB power source and will not operate from non-USB power without an appropriate adapter. For workflows requiring very high-speed single-battery rapid charging, a dedicated single-channel fast charger with higher output may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Channels: 3 simultaneous battery charging channels
• Input: USB power input (5 V typical, actual supported voltages depend on USB source)
• Battery compatibility: BCX204 camera batteries for DJI Osmo Action
• Indicators: Individual status LEDs for each channel
• Design: Compact, lightweight housing suitable for travel

How to use

Connect the charger to a suitable USB power source such as a wall adapter, power bank, or car USB port using an appropriate USB cable. Insert BCX204 batteries into the charger channels with correct polarity until they seat firmly. Monitor the LED indicators to track charging progress; the charger’s intelligent circuitry will manage current flow and terminate charge when batteries reach full capacity. After charging completes and the LEDs indicate full status, remove batteries and disconnect the charger from the power source before storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with BCX204 batteries used in DJI Osmo Action cameras.
• Ensure you have a suitable USB power source that provides stable output for multi-battery charging.
• Check travel and airline regulations for carrying spare camera batteries and charging accessories.

Usage recommendations

Use a reputable USB power adapter or power bank rated for stable 5 V output and sufficient current to support multiple channels. Avoid charging batteries unattended for extended periods and store charged batteries in a cool, dry place. Regularly inspect battery contacts and the charger slots for debris to maintain reliable connections and safe charging performance.
