Hi FoxhallGH. I actually use the USB slot found underneath the controller to connect to my iPad using the tablet’s original Apple Lightning cable. I NEVER used the side slot and the short cable that was supplied with the DJI kit. Aside from the fact that I think it is too short to reach the...

I checked out the Amazon link...now if the small “magnetic” end is supposed to just be attached most of the time on the controllers port, do we, or can we still use the original cable of the controller...and would it be compatible?

Nice product....thanks for the tip!

Btw, I flew the MP with the other normal battery yesterday morning. 16min flight time with around 30-ish% power left and temp of around 50C when I landed. Somewhat same performance with the other battery. Same windy condition.

It was cloudy and quite windy when I flew it yesterday. Not sure about the production date but it was the bat that came with the MP when I bought it when it was still quite new in the market. I use an iPad Mini4 and it does show up everytime I click on the battery icon in Go4 app.

I certainly agree with your observation and recommendations. Yes, the usually forgotten “pre-flight” checklist that most of us here used to practice when we were just starting. Usually, taken for granted now, most likely because of over confidence after years of flying. Hmmmm.

Btw @mnis, I already made a test flight of the Mavic using the “bulged” battery. I was forced to quickly land, though, because it started to drizzle. The MP had 17min of flight with remaining battery power at 29%. The temp reached over 54C.

Another “touchè” on that point. I come from the South East part of Asia and “humidity” is greatly a part of our climate here. Aside from that, condensation may have played a role at times, whenever the drone bag is suddenly brought out from a cold airconditioned room to the relatively warm...

I was told that the rust could have been triggered by always leaving the props attached even during storage. I guess they’re suggesting accumulation of moisture...especially after getting wet under light and sudden rain. My query next time I get in touch with them is something I missed to ask...

@mnis Touchè! Will try to observe first the flight times and temperatures, while at the same time keeping a close watch on the “bulge”. If indeed there is a significant difference from my “control battery”, then disposing of said battery would be in order. Btw, I crashed my Mavic a month ago...

Thank you again mnis for dropping off a reply. I will fly the Mavic one of these days and take note of the temperatures of the battery with the bulge with that of a normal one. Thank you again.

Hi everyone! It’s been a while since we were on this thread for this battery issue. I have recently used the said battery a couple of times and the”bulge” remained the same. However, I noticed that it seemed to get hotter more quickly than my other battery. If I remember correctly, it reached...

Thank you very much for taking the time in sharing your invaluable thoughts and experiences. That goes as well with the others who gave their comments. Happy safe flying to all! :) Btw, I got into this hobby because of my love for photography. This time, from a different perspective...from...

Pictures after “0” discharge/full charge cycle. No overheating nor change in the bulge.
