I have the fly more combo with the charger. If you just blindly try to plug it in the plug can go into the larger socket. Mine started making a low whistle and showed some lights. So I then looked and noticed it was in the wrong socket. Not sure if anything would have happened but just noting it is possible.
Maybe a warning

And I will move it to that section .
If I am not mistaken you can plug the charger into either the drone or the triple charger, which are you talking about?

It's on the triple charger itself. When I fly my Mini, I carry the triple charger with the batteries in it. Then when I get done and bring the triple charge back, I went to plug the connector into the side. It went in, and I almost left it alone, but I heard a strange noise coming from it. So, when I looked at the side of the triple charger I realized I had stuck it in the wrong port.
How can you possibly plug the charger into the wrong port? One is a USB C port used for charging, the other is a full sized USB A port for charging other things, like the remote. You can't put a C plug into an A port, at least not solidly and no electrical connection of any kind is possible.
There's no such cable that has an A plug on both sides, and the charger would have an A port.

yes, it is perfectly possible, the type-c plug can be plugged in usb A by mistake, i did it in my pc, and it just made a short circuit and thats all. It doesnt want to work until i plugged out all the cables and put them again
Well I just checked about a C plug fitting into an A port. What I found is that's akin to saying be careful that scissors fit into a wall socket (which I've done as a very young child, that and the spade leads on an old rotary phone).
The height of the C plug is just the height of the gap between the A port tongue that has the data and power pins and the metal spring that holds the A plug in place and ensures the two make electrical contact. The C plug is all metal, so it makes contact with the power and data pins in the A port.

Thanks for responding.
I titled the thread maybe a warning because I didn’t really know if there was any danger or damage possible. As I said, particularly if you’re not looking at it when you plug it in, it is possible, and it did make some sort of connection. Short circuit sounds pretty accurate, btw
I suspect (though I could be wrong) I won't be the only one to simply plug it in the side without looking at the port. If you're checking the port, it shouldn't happen while you're looking at it.
