FPV goggles, such the DJI FPV Goggles, The walksnail Avatar, the HDZero Goggles and the Fatshark goggles, can normally be powered from different sources. This video presents the ones I've been using and researching, and explain why and how you can make the goggles work with the USB-C standard from some power banks.
Some of the products presented in the video can be found in the following affiliated links:
USB-C to DC 5.5x2.5mm: amzn.to/3WrIgxN
Small power bank (10.000mah): amzn.to/3wq9YQJ
Big power bank (20.000mah): amzn.to/3HhZ06d

I made a mistake in the video saying the Fatshark HDO2 supports up to 6S. They are 2S-3S!
Please always check your specs before connecting the battery
i posted a video on my channel about an issue i am having using battery bank and a usb c cable. could you help me out. channel is aphixe
I found the nitecore NC10000 (li-ion) with a USB-c to Barrel connector, as a backup i use the radiomaster 2 li-ion 5000mah battery with a xt30 to xt60 adapter, with the xt60 to barrel connector. The nitecore Nc10000 has large enough battery to last very long and can be charged with standard USB-C charger.
Hello Juan very educational video nice job as always . I am going to look into the 2 power banks you mentioned .
Thanks Al. There are many different models doing the same.
My power bank sometimes shuts off after a certain amount of time so I was hesitant to try some of these cables. But I shall try it with the cable you mentioned!
Just be ready to test one more than cable. My advice, but them from a place it’s easy to return if they don’t work as expected
Thank you for this very informative video. yup I agree with the battery cases with fatshark and eachine. They easily damaged.
They are still useful, but unfortunately they get damaged easily.
👍🏼Nice video. Plenty of useful tips.. Thanks.
Thanks Jose
Very informative Video again. I have been using a big PD Anker powerbank (li-ion). Found a USB-C to XT60 Cable from toolkitRC (sc100) works perfect for me.
Great feedback. Thanks for sharing!
Can you send a link to the cable and do you know the size of the barrel jack on the dji goggle power cable?
Hi. The link is in the description:
amzn.to/3WrIgxN
And the size of the barrel is there as well. DC5.5
Thanks for sharing your experience! Got myself the Eachine and a similar power bank for my new Skyzones. I'll share my experience for anyone interested in a couple of weeks.
Thank you. Yes, share your experience later on.
How did it go? Any updates?
Is there a powerbank with li ion 21700 instead of 18650 ? and do you need to be careful about the polarisation of the barrel jack connector ?
Most big powerbanks are actually lipo batteries. I have not seen cases for 21700, not really sure why. I’ve seen a couple of 3D printed options but nothing commercial.
I just bought the DJI Goggles 2 but very displeased about their battery life. I like your video and ask that you tell me very simply, what do I need to buy for a better battery? I don’t know all the technical stuff and just want to know what I need. Please be very specific with the products. Thanks so much
Hi harmonica,
Very difficult to do as you want because what you need are Chinese parts which can change name, manufacturers and shape from country to country.
In my opinion you need a USB-C PD 10000 mah battery pack, and a usb-c to 5.5 DC which limits the output power to 12 or 9v. I hope this helps
@@NordFPV Thank you
i wanna use it on my walksnail battery. but Eachine and fatshark batteries you talked in the video would work on my walksnail goggle?. and is it safe as well?. and i want to ask you what about using DJI FPV Goggle V2 battery for walksnail goggle?.
i'm asking cuz of the size of barrels for goggle.
The fatshark/echine will work on walksnail, but the DJI battery won’t.
thx for the video! According to that I can safely use a powerstation with a car 12v plug, right?
Hi. I’m not sure what you mean.
@@NordFPV almost every portable power station like Ecoflow, Bluetti, Anker, Jackery etc has the 12v car socket (I guess its also called a cigarette plug - the thingy u had in the older cars) same, they can handle up to 10A so its more than enough.
Nice info again 👍
Thanks Jukka
Dude, i have a walksnail avatar. Can i use the goggles with dji goggles battery? Dji battery is 2s and 9volts
Looks like you can’t. The DJI battery has something extra in the cable to identify the goggles. Maybe changing the cable. Voltage wise it will work.
new to the hobby was wondering if i can use a radiomaster battery 5000mah
For what Orion? That battery has a 2S balance cable and a XT30 if I'm not wrong. Most of the goggles require a barrel connection. So unless you change the connection with an adapter, or cut and solder a new one, my initial answer will be no for most of the goggles.
Muy buena opción¡¡¡¡. Gracias
A la orden!
Can i use the original dji cable?
Hi. No, unfortunately you can't. The DJI cable works only with DJI batteries.
How much time to get with this big power bank . How much time please reply 😢
Hi. I can't tell you a specific time since it will depend on your goggles and how often you fly and so on, but I can tell you that I fly weeks with it and my walksnail goggles before I put it to charge again, and I charge just because it's low, not because it's finished.
what about the barrel/usb C cable that comes with the goggles 2 ? Is that cable actually actively passing the right voltage?
Yes. But it has some kind of special
Communication with the DJI equipment and the cable just work between DJI.
@@NordFPV ok so if I plug the "vintage telephone cord" barrel to usbc to a pd powerbank it should self regulate and work fine?
@@samuelevinti unfortunately not because your powerbank is not DJI. A DJI cable works only with DJI batteries.
So do you need PD power bank AND PD power cable? Or do you just need one of them to be “pd”?
I’m pretty sure you need both. The PD power bank is the only that will get to the right power, and the cable is the one which will control the voltage and avoid burning your goggles.
@@NordFPV ok awesome, thanks for your quick reply and clarifying! I’m gonna try my hand at powering the new walksnail avatar X goggles I just got in via this method, but wanted to be sure I wasn’t gonna fry them!
@@sprucescott9483check with a multimeter before connecting the power source to the goggles.
The small powerbank you link have usb c so why not use the stock dji cable ? For goggles v2
Unfortunately the stock DJI cable works only with DJI batteries. 🤷🏻♂️
@@NordFPV i see. Does the v2 goggles use 5025 or 5021 plug? I dont think you can use powerbank. Uts not the cable that sets the voltade but the device you're charging. The powerbank Will allways output 5v unless the device have have resistance
@@kringtheking2657The DJI V2 (not DJI G2) uses 5025 (the "big" connector). What you are saying about the cable is not true, and a very understandable misconception. There are cables that set the voltage of a USB-C PD, while there are other cables that doesn't. USB-C PD Protocol needs "someone" to tell the device how many volts it's going to provide. Normally, and I guess the standard was built for this someone to be the device (laptop, phone, etc), but cables like the one I'm linking, and using here, has the same chip inside the USB-C connector to become that "someone" telling the powerbank how many V they have to provide. When I look at my cables I have some labeled 9v, and some labeled 12v, and If I measure the voltage, as I do in the video, you will see only the powerbank and the cable, without anything else connected on the other end, delivers a different amount of voltage than 5v or the max the USB-C PD port can deliver.
Nord FPV.....Can the Eachine 18650 case be used to howse batteries for Fatshark goggles?
Yes. That case works with the fatshark goggles both analog and avatar version
@@NordFPV Thanks. What batteries are used inside the case?
@@johnsnow2347 18650 batteries
@@NordFPV Got it, thanks. 18650 3.7v x 2ea batteries = 7.4v
bonjour.you made amazing dji.take it easy,Nordfpv~
Thanks
Nice. I'm buying it.
Hope you enjoy it! Just be careful to chose and check the cable.
Just use radiomaster 2s 5000mah li ion. Just 15usd buy 2 😂. Diy a xt30 to barrel connector cable. You got double capacity than 2s fatshark standard battery (18650 li ion).
Informative video! I did not realise PD power banks use lipo batteries - I thought they wire li-ion!
Yeah… and many of these packs are lying about it and or the capacity
@@NordFPVI have checked the specs of both the power bank you have mantioned, they both say li -ion and not lipo, are you sure about that? Thanks
@@blackclown6191I'll be very happy if they are Li-ion, but mine says LiPo, and many videos where people test similar batteries and open them you see they are LiPos. am I 100% sure? No. Do I trust what the manufacturer writ eon the back of the case? No. The only way to be 100% sure will be to open them, but I don't want to do that right now, I'm very happy with them the way they are.
