A recurrent complaint voiced by Mavic Air 1 owners is that the stock OEM flight battery with a stated capacity of 2375 mAh, rated for 21 minutes of flight time according to DJI's typically optimistic spec sheets, in truth rarely keeps the drone aloft for more than 13 to 15 minutes before battery levels depleted to below 15% necessitating immediate landing.
As an owner of two Mavic Air 1 drones who yearns for more flight time, I today stumbled on an after-market third-party battery for the Mavic Air 1 on sale at the Ali Express website, with a beefed-up output of 3580mAh, that purports to extend the flight time of a MavicAir 1 from the standard 14 minutes to a new longer duration of 25 minutes. After-market DJI drone batteries from Ali Express have proved themselves to be reliable and capable of making possible significantly longer flight times.
Recently, by way of example, I bought a $75 extra capacity battery for my Mavic 1 Pro which increased its maximum attainable round-trip distance from 6 miles with the stock DJI battery, to an amazing 13.46 miles with the Ali Express steroid-beefed battery. This superb performance recorded with an Ali Express super battery does make the appearance on the same website of a similarly modified battery for the Mavic Air 1 a very tempting purchase indeed. Below is the link to this Mavic Air 1 battery that promises to breathe new life into the venerable Mavic Air 1 by greatly extending its range during both manual flight and waypoint missions.
I would be very interested to hear from any other Mavic 1 Air owners who have already purchased this newly available extra-range battery, to get an idea of whether this non-DJI battery lives up to the flight time increase claim made by its seller on Ali Express. I would also be curious to learn whether this longer-range battery is durable and not prone to spontaneous in-flight failure that could lead to a drone's outright loss. Any news at all on this new and promising extra range battery would be enormously appreciated by this fellow Mavic Air 1 owner. Thanks in advance.
