This Canadian edition is written for Canadian DJI Agras operators across Canada, from the Prairie grain belt of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba to the row crops of Ontario and Quebec and the orchards and vineyards of British Columbia and Niagara. It covers the single-phase slow-charging path: conversion cable, slow charging cable, no hot plugging and the correct shutdown order, on the 240 V single-phase service most Canadian farms have. The procedure, specifications and warnings below are identical to the original edition linked above — the hardware does not change at the border. What changes for a Canadian operator is the regulatory and purchasing context: the aircraft this DJI C12000 Intelligent Power Supply supports falls into Transport Canada’s medium RPAS class (25–150 kg) and flies on an Advanced Operations pilot certificate under the November 2025 rules, with a Special Flight Operations Certificate for anything outside that envelope, and pricing is shown in Canadian dollars. Ares Acres stocks the C12000 charger, cooling stations and charging cables referenced in this guide as genuine DJI Agras OEM parts, ships them to Canada with free standard shipping, and shows CAD pricing at checkout.
Slow charging gives the C12000 a lower-power single-phase operating path when a three-phase fast-charging supply is not being used. DJI specifies a 220 V single-phase supply with at least 3.6 kW output for this procedure.
Quick Answer: Connect the conversion cable to the C12000 AC power port with the safety pins reinstalled, connect the slow charging cable to the conversion cable, then connect the slow charging cable to the wall outlet. Use the same battery-side connection method described in fast charging. Hot plugging is prohibited. After charging, disconnect the slow charging cable from the outlet first, then disconnect the conversion cable from the C12000.
Power requirement
DJI says slow charging requires a 220 V single-phase supply with at least 3.6 kW output. The exact outlet type can vary by country or region, so use the appropriate local outlet and cable configuration.
1. Install the conversion cable
Remove the safety pins from the conversion cable, connect the conversion cable to the C12000 AC power port and reinstall the safety pins.
2. Connect the slow charging cable
Connect the slow charging cable to the conversion cable, then connect the slow charging cable to the appropriate AC outlet. DJI notes that the slow charging cable can be purchased separately from a local dealer.
No hot plugging
DJI explicitly prohibits hot plugging during slow charging to avoid arcing at the plug. Do not treat the AC connection as a live-plug operation.
3. Connect the battery side
Use the same battery-side method described in the fast-charging section: connect the charging cable to the air-cooled heat sink before placing the battery into the heat sink.
4. Disconnect in the correct order
After charging, disconnect the slow charging cable from the power outlet first, then disconnect the conversion cable from the C12000.

Canadian Operator FAQ: C12000 Slow Charging Guide
Does Ares Acres ship the C12000 charger, cooling stations and charging cables to Canada?
Yes. Ares Acres ships genuine DJI Agras OEM parts, including the C12000 charger, cooling stations and charging cables referenced in this guide, to Canada with free standard shipping, and Canadian customers see CAD pricing at checkout.
Do I need an SFOC to use the DJI C12000 Intelligent Power Supply with my DJI Agras in Canada?
The DJI C12000 Intelligent Power Supply itself needs no aviation authorization. The DJI Agras aircraft it supports falls into Transport Canada’s medium RPAS class (25–150 kg) under the November 2025 rules and is flown within visual line of sight on an Advanced Operations pilot certificate; a Special Flight Operations Certificate is still required for operations outside that envelope, such as beyond visual line of sight or payloads Transport Canada treats as dangerous goods. Confirm current requirements with Transport Canada and your provincial regulator before operating.
Is this slow-charging different for Canadian operators?
No. The slow-charging described here is identical in every country; only the regulatory framework, the purchasing path and the units used in this guide differ. Confirm current requirements with Transport Canada and your provincial regulator before operating.
