Well damned... I tried soldering some leads and wires to the "pads" but nothing stuck... Very annoying.

So I got around to checking the voltages and polarity of the battery connections on the dissected Mavic Air Battery pack. Polarity. Position 1: +ve terminal for Cell 1 Position 2: -ve terminal for Cell 1 Position 3: +ve terminal for Cell 2 Position 4: -ve terminal for Cell 2 Position 5: +ve...

Yeah. I'm going to find out the polarity of the batteries (If they have any voltage left). Either through a simple LED test or my Multimeter. The larger opening on the board look to be the +ve & -VE connections for the individual cells. But who knows which ways are which...

I doubt it. Likely an interrupt for when installing/removing the battery to prevent arcing across the Mavic Air contact pins. Or as stated, maybe a safety for ensuring a secure battery for takoff?

Interesting... Finally dissected a dead battery... (Removed the cover anyways...) There is a pair of power lines inside. but not to the power button. They are to the side mounted battery releases. Looks like they close/open a circuit when the battery is in removal position (either/both...

Yup. Not a risk I was aware of with the DJI batteries (Yuneec's are not "Intelligent"). Well I now will have two Dead Batteries to tear apart and investigate. Maybe make an external balance plug to test the cells' IR and voltage levels.

Refunded me $160 for the two batteries. Have since found 3 more good batteries (Video showcased) and a case, 4-port charger hub, spare props, lens filters and joysticks for $200. (CDN prices).. So total Mavic Air Combo Package with 6 batteries (2 dead), and hard case, lens, spare 4 port hub, and...

I posted my question already :) I want to know more about the stuff I plan on using.

According to the specs on the back casing of the battery, these are 3 cell LiHV batteries. (LiHV or HVLi = High Voltage Lithium Polymer) LiHV can be charged to 4.35v per cell vs. standard LiPo's 4.2V (Nominal Voltages per cell are 3.85 and 3.7V respectively as well) I know there are a ton of B6...

Just purchased a newish (New to me) Mavic Air. Just over 6 months old and unfortunately 2 of the 3 batteries are toast due to never being used (aka charger will not charge them). Other that the batteries being 2 weeks outside of warranty, everything else is perfect. Looking forwards to playing...
