Any other indications that can tell if the battery is in bad condition ,apart from swelling?Simple answer...
You never know... this as charge cycles aren't the only thing that can put heavy wear on the battery.
The store is very reliable and reputable, they are honest about the batteries cycles. I am asking if there is anything else I should consider for a used battery? Such as how old is the battery? The store have one rated as new with only 1 cycle and another one with 5 cycles.I purchase used batteries from Ebay all the time. Once you receive one, You can check how many cycles the Battery has gone thru with the app.
Honest sellers will tell you Low, Mid, Or High cycles used but do your homework on the seller before you buy! I know of one used battery seller in L.A. That sells Hundreds of battries on Ebay They are DJI Batteries unless stated and he excepts returns.
Just do your homework and you will be fine.
An Air2S battery treated well should give you around 200 cycles more or less.
Besides charge cycles (which easily can be checked through the app once you have it in your possession) you can't say much about how it have been stored & in what state of charge... the manufacturing date of the battery can be checked trough the serial number.Any other indications that can tell if the battery is in bad condition ,apart from swelling?
I've bought used batteries (guaranteed) from Adorama for my Matrice m30. They were accurate about the usage, but didn't show actual cycles. When you get these, check them right away in the drone to make sure the number of cycles match. Charge them fully and test fly them (put your bird in a low hover in a safe place and let them run down). Recharge and enjoy if there are no issues.I found a few used batteries from an online shop for my air 2s drone at a good price, one battery has 1 recharge cycle,the other one has 6. Is there any risk of buying them in terms of reliability etc. ? They are original dji batteries
Apparently, a charge cycle is not counted if the battery is not charged above 90% - at least that's what the battery manual states for my Matrice and it seems to be accurate for my Mavic 3E and Mini 3 Pro.I’ve read that a “charge cycle” for a lithium battery is when a depleted battery is fully recharged.
Is that so when one of these batteries is recharged, or is anytime one of these is charged (hooked up) whether from 0% to 99%, count as a “recharge”?
(I understand that a battery completely discharged might be dead and unable to be “revived.”)
That's interesting - never seen that. I did a search and it appears that only older drone batteries are supported with the hardware/software setups. What's your experience?You do know that the cycle count can be reset, don't you? Not saying that there are unscrupulous people out there, just saying.
DJI batterykiller works on Air 2S batteries.That's interesting - never seen that. I did a search and it appears that only older drone batteries are supported with the hardware/software setups. What's your experience?
