If you hit the button to see how much charge is left, it resets the discharge countdown to zero days and starts over.

Ok, maybe i have touch the button during this time
I will try with 1 day and be carefull to don't touch this button
Thanks for your help
Last question, how many times auto discharged take ?

 

[WolfgangStiller]

Autodischarge does work. I have mine set for two days and confirmed it works.

 

[sv650s]

Ok, thanks for your answer
And how many times take auto discharge ?

You should see three lights after a couple of days, it's quite slow.
You might notice a very slight warmth if it's in a case for example - nothing to worry about.

Thanks for your help, i will try again and keep you inform

What do you mean by "how many times take auto discharge"?

Do you mean how many times have I allowed it to autodischarge? Only twice; once for each of my batteries with the interval set to two days. I generally fly my batteries down to 50% or lower before I put them away.

 

[sv650s]

I want to know how many times it take to make auto discharge after the delay is passed
Example :
1 - set auto discharged on 4 days
2 - at the day 4 , the auto discharged begin
3 - how many times it takes to make the auto discharged cycle ? 1 hour, 5 hours... ?

I want to know the time between the begin and the end of auto discharged cycle for a full battery

 

[sv650s]

Yes it that i want to know, see post #9

A day or 2.

 

[sv650s]

2 days ??? !!!!
It's not good for a lipo to have slow discharge as that !

 

[Kilrah]

So it's not good to have a lipo in your phone/tablet that ALWAYS discharges in 1-2 days?`

It doesn't care a single bit about being discharged slowly. Much better than staying charged anyway.

 

[sv650s]

Yes, you're right
It's always the case on our smartphone

Stupid question: Does the battery need to be fitted to the drone in order to discharge?

(because I leave my batteries ''out of the drone'' and don't seem to discharge)

If you hit the button to see how much charge is left, it resets the discharge countdown to zero days and starts over.

Well you learn something new everyday. Thanks!
I usually just run mine down to 30% at the end of my flight and then store them away until the next weekend when I charge them on Friday night.

I'm sorry...but have to ask...

why autodischarge? I'm new to Mavic...thanks for the advise

The auto dis-charge is to help extend the life of the battery. A charged lipo does not like to stay that way for a long period of time. It will degrade the battery/cells, and can lead to cell failure and battery swelling/puffing.
Trust me, I know the hard way.
I lost a $300.00 10,000MAh/6S battery for my Tarot Hex that way. I had forgotten about it being fully charged, maybe twice in the time I had it. The second time was the kiss of death for it. Came back to it a week/10 days, and just looking at it, sent chills into me. I carefully discharged it with a couple of 24 volt dc bulbs, until it was dead, dead, dead.

After that "life experience", I treat my lipos like a newborn.......

Because if you left them fully charged and not used, say for bad weather, it can damage Lipoly batteries left in a charged state for more than a few days.

Best to leave them with say 30% charge left in them, and charge fully either on the day or night before.
