I have no idea how this is a thing when unlike their fpv drone the batteries don't have their own firmware. I tried to test it but, the charging hub check battery charge gets triggered just bouncing around in there occasionally and that resets the timer from my understanding.

@joelwexler 2 года назад

I don't know why, but the pause to remove had me howling. Why can't EE's make batteries, that when full, stop taking charge? Doesn't seem like it's on par with fusion.

I was in a panic when I watched this video but then I discovered that the batteries do actually discharge on their own while in the charging hub. All my batteries have dropped to 70% in a week after fully charged. It’s possible that DJI made some changes since you released this video. But thanks for bringing this to my attention

@TimE-bc9ez Год назад

Extremely useful information, Thank You Don't Panic! My understanding of LiPo batteries is that, yes you need to store them somewhere in the 50-60% range when they will be not used for extended periods of time, like several months. I fly 3 or 4 times a week but never know when that opportunity might arise. Keeping the batteries stored at 100% for days or even a couple of weeks at a time should not hurt them or make them puffy. If I know for sure that I will not fly for a couple of weeks or longer, I will drop the charge to 50%. I have followed this rule and have had my batteries for almost 2 years with little or no loss of flight time or performance. Plus the cost of a new battery is minimal, I would risk damage to have batteries ready to go and not miss a chance. I was lucky enough to catch a coyote killing a goose because I had fully charged batteries ready to go. Namaste Bitches!

I tossed in foam inserts so I can use them as a storage case and not worry about the battery issues like swelling or whatever. I can pop them out anytime and use it as a charger again. I ended up spending $40 bucks where I can charge all 3 or 4 at once. I so far haven’t needed to use it after I went through all 3 batteries and still need to get back in the air. Loving my Mini 2. I hope by Black Friday I can maybe buy the Air 2s and getting it on a sweet deal. “Crossing Fingers”

@chrisbaishdrones 3 года назад

Another tip: buy a quick charge power bank. I use mine to discharge batteries into when I want to bring the charge down, and then to top them back up on the go. Means you don't have to wait at home while they charge.

@chrisbaishdrones 3 года назад

@@GetBusyLiving brilliant! If you get one with a double output (I have one with USB C power delivery and standard USB with quick charge 3.0) you can actually charge two batteries simultaneously on the way to your location. One in the hub and one in the drone. If you choose your case carefully you can have it all plugged in charging while you are walking. It's one reason why I'm hesitant to upgrade from the Mini 2 as I don't think I could do without this option now!

I contacted dji about this. They said if your batteries are discharged to around 70 percent then they may be stored in the hub. After all they do ship the batteries in the hub. And who knows how long they sit at a retail store. It's not as if people are dropping hundreds of dollars everyday on drones or equipment.

@GetBusyLiving 3 года назад

Yes that is true. It only seems to be a problem if they are FULLY charged. Lipo batteries do not like to be stored fully charged.

@chrisbaishdrones 3 года назад

It's better to just charge your batteries up to 60% after use, rather than fully. You don't even need to think about auto discharging then. Also, you are wasting charge because that extra 40% you don't need is a wasted part-charge cycle, and lipos have a finite number. On the flip side, if you do fully charge the batteries but end up cancelling your flight, just use the hub to manually discharge them back down. However, I don't agree with your advice to leave them discharged until just before you fly. It's bad for them too. Top them up to 60% for storage.

@GetBusyLiving 3 года назад

Hi there - yes I agree, you raised some good points. Sorry if I wasn't clear in the video, I wasn't meaning leaving them FULLY discharged until needing them, only down at around the 50-60% level.

@richienewlove1771 3 года назад

It’s also bad to store the batteries at 0%. They should be stored at ~70% when not in use. Hence the auto discharge to 70%.

@GetBusyLiving 3 года назад

Yes that's 100% correct.

@Jonathantuba 3 года назад

I am not going to obsess over this. I don’t want to leave the batteries partially discharged, as that stops going out flying on impulse - but what I will do is turn the batteries around in charging hub once charged, so they can slightly discharge if left.

@freeman-1776 3 года назад

Waiting 5 days to discharge my batteries really annoys me. I hadn't thought about using the usb to slowly discharge the hub with my cell phone. Great idea. Also, seating them backwards is another great idea. I love my mini 2 and even bought 4 extra batteries for the future. I also have the Mavic Air 1. I learned the hard way as I flew it so much that I wore out all three batteries over one year of constant flying. So this time I'm paying attention to the maintenance of all my drone batteries. It is very difficult to find Mavic Air 1 batteries because it's already considered outdated by DJI and I don't think they make them anymore. This leads me to one other good idea. Buy extra batteries. There is no point in buying an expensive drone if you ware out your batteries and can't get new ones. DJI kicks out drones so fast that they often discontinue support once your drone is a couple years old. These are all intelligent flight batteries. Your drone will not fly with substitute batteries. So in order to stay in the air, keep some new batteries in storage or get used to buying new drones about once a year.

@GetBusyLiving 3 года назад

Hey thanks for the amazing response! That's a good point actually, might as well buy some more batteries to help future proof yourself - at the end of the day it's a relatively small investment. 👍👍 Thanks for tuning in and for sharing your thoughts! 🙏

This is one of the first things you learn when using lipos in RC cars, planes and helicopters. I use my batteries and then storage charge them to 3.8V per cell. The chargers I use are far more complicated that dji's chargers so that you can properly maintain them.

RC planes and heli's use LIPO batteries and it is recommended to store them at 3.8 volts per cell, roughly 30% charge. Most chargers sold for LIPO's have a built in feature that will either charge or discharge to this level automatically. I have been doing this for years now and will store my Mini 2 batteries at 30%.

@GetBusyLiving 3 года назад

Yes that's true mate, and good on you - you obviously know your stuff. By the way, in case you didn't hear that DJI have released a firmware fix - I have made an update video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u2px0BHOH2s.html Cheers!

@mike-ph3fk 3 года назад

It bugs me this is no popular opinion. I've been studying lipo, and liion for a few years now and while its not optimal to store your cells at 100 soc, it's not nearly as bad as storing them at 0 soc. When stored at either extreme end of the spectrum, the cells begin to develop what are called dendrites. Which is small metal spikes that build off the cathode and anode. When these spikes pierce the dielectric separating the two a soft short circuit can occur, greatly reducing all usable parameters of the cell except weight. I'd be very curious to see two identical cells stored side by side in exact same process except soc.

@GetBusyLiving 3 года назад

Yes you are right it is bad storing them at no charge as well. Finicky little buggers aren't they!? 🤣 Many thanks for your detailed explanations - very interesting! 👍

Here is the thing.......the mini 2 battery is more of a LIHV battery vs the mini is a normal 2s 7.2 LIPO battery . Nominal charge voltage for the mini two battery is 7.7 volts. This is higher starting point with voltage thus the longer flight time. You can still use the mini Batts that are 7.2 but u will not get same performance.

@NomadPinoyRider Год назад

the battery feature doesnt say it discharges to approx 96% when it is idle for one day only when inside the charging hub. regardless if you take it out or store in there, it will still get discharged. self-discharge is a normal process in all batteries which decreases the shelf life of it. the dji shows the batterie’s charge cycle as well which is the life expectancy of it.

Hi I just have a couple of questions I’m hoping you can answer them. if you’re not gonna use it for let’s say like five days do you still need to discharge them and if you’re not gonna use them for five days, can you leave them at 100%? 2nd to last question, can you charge the batteries overnight? Last question, can you charge the controller and the batteries at the same time? or when the batteries are done, does it automatically switch over to the controller? Does it use the battery power or the power from the wall? And can you leave the controller and batteries overnight to or just the batteries?

@GetBusyLiving Год назад

A couple!? Ha ha . It's not the end of the world but just charge them prior to you thinking you will use them. Ie if you're not going to use for 5 days then charge the day before. Otherwise they will discharge a bit and you will have to charge them up again anyway. Yes you can charge overnight (but I wouldn't) - the battery's system will manage the flow and slow it to a trickle but better to to charge and pull off. Yes you can charge the batteries and controller at the same time (you'd need separate plugs/charges anyway wouldn't you?) Not sure I understand your second to last question?

if when you return from flying you charge any lipo to storage charge and leave it there, with these drones thats not easy to do, but i time mine only charge for three quarters of the charge time, and when i want to fly i charge them the last quarter, ideally they store at 80% charge, ive puffed many lipo's in the past, but now have some that are nearly ten years old and still perform as they should. my dji i charge to three led's until im ready to fly.
