    Sudden Battery Critical Landing

    Probably ~30 minutes. I was flying in pretty cold temperatures so cool down shouldn’t be much of a problem. I made sure the battery temperature remained well over the 25c specified in the guide.

    Battery dropped from 53% to 0% ,almost lost my MA

    Did you check the internal battery serial in your flight logs to make sure they actually replaced it?

    It happened with multiple batteries?

    Do you have experience with DJI support? Should I just send them a message saying “I’m not comfortable continuing to fly my Mavic Air with this battery and want a replacement?” Would I have to pay for shipping? How long would it take?

    Does this point toward a firmware issue or defective battery? I want to try some riskier shots in a couple days when I’m out of the city but don’t want the drone to drop out of the air onto a lake/roof.

    I’m certain all of my batteries were at 100% when I went out to use them.

    I had the same thing happen to me here: Sudden Battery Critical Landing I contacted DJI and they had me run a hover test (where nothing went wrong) and they said I was fine to fly it again. I flew it again outside a couple days later (but didn’t go far with it because I was afraid of emergency...

    As the battery wasn’t actually dead the connection was able to be maintained. Maybe I could run a screen recorder while flying as well?

    Sudden Battery Critical Landing

    Thanks for the info. What do you think of my battery situation? My concern is mostly with the battery working fine for a while then failing and being unrecoverable (e.g., a cliff, body of water, tree). In those situations, I would have the flight log showing the battery failed but no drone to...

    Sudden Battery Critical Landing

    I already bought refresh, as it seemed like the higher level more protective service and had two replacements vs refresh+ one replacement. Does refresh (which is more expensive!) not provide a longer warranty period? If so, can I exchange one for the other? I contacted DJI and they had me run a...

    True, I didn’t think about the other flight logs acting as proof. Thanks!

    Sudden Battery Critical Landing

    I wasn’t flying in sports mode and have flown in much colder weather before with no issue (I monitor the battery temperature constantly). Today the temperature was in the 40s(f) while a couple of days ago (when I was flying in the mountains) it was closer to 9(f). However, it was quite windy...

    Sudden Battery Critical Landing

    Problem? - After flying normally with this battery six times and flying normally with two other batteries in the same hour, the Mavic Air auto-landed with a critical battery warning when the unit had reported a battery level >50% just a second before Was unit in a crash? - No, auto landed...
