The Skydio X10 is a leading NDAA-compliant platform for drone as first responder (DFR) and public safety programs, and the agencies flying it do not operate on hobbyist schedules. Patrol coverage, response calls, and perimeter overwatch run in continuous shifts, and every shift eats batteries. The limiting factor for most Skydio programs is not aircraft count. It is how fast depleted batteries come back online, especially at a mobile command post or staging area with no wall power. That is the problem the Colorado Drone Chargers Portable Rapid Charging System (PRCS) solves.
Skydio X10: field charging for DFR and patrol shifts
The Colorado Drone Chargers Skydio X10 PRCS ($1,695) is a 4-bay portable rapid charger built specifically for X10 batteries. All four bays charge simultaneously, and a full set of four is ready in about 1 hour. Because the PRCS runs off inverters and generators, it deploys wherever the fleet does: a command vehicle inverter during a search, a generator at an incident staging area, or the patrol SUV between calls.
This unit is popular with police departments running DFR and patrol programs, and for good reason. A department that can turn four batteries an hour from a vehicle keeps aircraft overhead through an entire shift instead of rotating drones back to the station. Global Drone HQ serves public safety agencies directly, with multi-unit and government pricing available on request.
Skydio X2: still deployed, still needs turnaround
Plenty of agencies still fly the Skydio X2, and those fleets need field charging just as much. The Colorado Drone Chargers Skydio X2 PRCS ($1,345) delivers the same formula: four X2 batteries charging simultaneously, ready in about 1 hour, powered by an inverter or generator, with a lifetime warranty behind it.
Comparison: Skydio PRCS options
| Charger | Price | Batteries | Charging | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CDC Skydio X10 PRCS | $1,695 | Skydio X10 | 4 simultaneous, about 1 hour | Lifetime |
| CDC Skydio X2 PRCS | $1,345 | Skydio X2 | 4 simultaneous, about 1 hour | Lifetime |
Both units share the traits that matter for procurement: American-made construction, built to order with a typical 2 to 3 week lead time, inverter and generator compatibility, and a lifetime warranty.
