    DJI fly report - 2024 recap

    DJI has this annual tradition of releasing a recap of sorts called the fly report. Quite a lot of fun with total distance, cities, key dates etc. Does anyone if this is already out for 2024 or if it is being released.

    Fastest way to disable sensors?

    Found an alternative for my Air 2s that seems to work at the moment. I now turn the drone so that the sides, which have no sensors, are facing the direction i want to move in. Then I sideways move it, this way no sensors are there to stop it and i dont have to disable anything to get it to where...

    Fastest way to disable sensors?

    I've had this problem as well, the drone will hit an invisible wall and will come down at a snails pace or it'll refuse to move forward at times when flying from a balcony or a ledge. Going into the menu and switching sensors off seems to be the only way. Although mostly i just end up letting...

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    Any suggestions on how to eliminate for sure the 3rd party charger. I'm actually thinking if i should just mark one as the one I charge with that charger, all the others get charged using the prestine, fully approved DJI charger 😂

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    How did you eliminate the charger as the possible cause of the battery swelling? I'm definitely hoping its not the charger simply due to the amazing convenience that it offers.

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    The flymore combo has a small connector where you can connect the battery and use it to charge USB devices. Use that to charge a phone/powerbank to drain the drone battery During a week it will anyhow discharge itself to 60% if not used.

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    Seems like a lot of what is needed to maintain DJI battries does not come as part of the kit. Do I just manually keep an eye on each battery and get it to 60%? Similarly the only way I can do a discharge cycle is by attaching the USB connector and using the battery to charge a phone or...

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    Was reading up about keeping batteries running longer. Came across this vid and it covers a lot of the points mentioned here. Since the info is from DJI it makes sense that it would suggest staying away from a non DJI charger Will give all this a shot. I'm not very sure how long it'll take...

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    Yup, have stopped doing that. Will try all the stiff mentioned here to take care of the batteries. Let me know if there are anymore guidelines on how to care for batteries Don't the smart batteries do this automatically? As in leave them at 100% and they'll auto discharge to 60% in a week. Also...

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    Scary, definitely not something i want to risk. Definitely not now given that I have new batteries. Back to the core question then, is it my 3rd party chargers (those small USB ones) that are causing the bloating since the cycle count is in the 30-60s? Is manufacturing age a factor? Since as...

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    So I'm usually flying in places where the temp goes from 2-3 deg centigrade all the way upto 47 deg centigrade. Mostly dry heat. The flights are in nornal mode so don't think I'm pushing the drone too hard. The batteries get stored in the DJI flymore combo bag. Usually a spent battery is...

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    I'm actually a bit curious if I'm reading too much into too little swelling. Attaching a pic as reference of all the 3 batteries I've retired. The one marked 3 does not sit flat and will ever so slightly rock and can be spun round like a top. The other two seem to have flattened out over the...

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    Absolutely guilty of this especially in the starting 6-7 months when i did not know better and would charge all 3 batteries every weekend Checked this and my cycle counts are very very low. Mostly in the 30-60 range. Sharing the images below for the group to advise on. This is also before my...

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    Its usually an amazon basics 65w charger that also charges my phone. But there is a mix of chargers i tend to use most of them 25 watt and above. That was the big draw, being able to charge from a powerbank and charge in the car (18watt charging and 45w charging)

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    Have a Air2s flymore combo purchased in 2021 with 3 battries. l've flown some 33hrs till now rotating between the 3 battries. All 3 seem to have swelled up and as per the interwebs need to be replaced. Judged by keeping on a table and rotating them or rocking them, both of which happen. Seems...
