    What does the battery (pro) count as a charge?

    Obviously the battery has a charge counter, my question is what does the battery consider a charge? It is each time it is plugged in, or each time is is discharged and then charged again? The reason I ask is sometimes I need to pack up and move before a battery has fully charged,and then resume...

    Understanding the battery

    I bought a magic pro flymore pack (or whatever it’s called) and it has 3 batteries. The manual is not clear on how it operates when charing the batteries; when I plug all 3 in to the charging station, is it supposed to still only charge one at a time? Because it currently is. Also, one of the...

    Firmware Updates for Intelligent Batteries

    I updated the Mavic's firmware yesterday to Ver. 01.03.1000. During its lengthy installation, I noticed the battery's indicator leds behaving strangely... the middle two leds alone flashing rapidly. This is a behaviour pattern not normally encountered, so I concluded that the battery itself was...

    Best combo for firmware and app versions?

    With all the discussions about firmware versions, I am just curious if the newest apps are backwards compatible with older firmware and what others think is the best combination of Drone / RC / Battery firmware & App version? Thanks in advance.

    Flying on 18650 cells

    Set this up using the original battery monitoring board from a destroyed battery and 3 new LG HG2 18650 cells. I couldnt get the mon board to turn on so I powered the Mavic through one of the battery plugs I installed on the side. The mon board was plugged into the balance wires on the 18650...

    Safe Controller Charging

    Hey folks. I've had my Mavic for about a month and didn't consider battery safety at all when I bought it. Fast forward that month and I've opted for the "better safe than sorry" approach and bought a Bat-Safe and some LiPo bags. I figure my house and family's lives are worth more than the $80...

    Battery charging volts/wattage

    Hello, I'm wanting to fly my drone while 4WD then charge it with the power point included in my car. It gives 120 volts I think. Would that destroy my battery? Thanks in advance

    Triple Flashing Lights

    Just took my Mavic for a flight using two batteries. Finished flying and brought my Mavic inside to charge the batteries. I placed my two batteries into the charging dock, as I usually do, and when I did so the light on the charging dock went red. And the green light closest to the power switch...

    Drone crashed in the Hudson River after battery died

    I flew my drone approximately 21,000 feet across the Hudson and received a warning that I needed to return home immediately so as to have enough battery life to make it back. My battery was at 40% and I spent at least another minute flying around the shoreline before returning. Long story short...

    Hover to just discharge a battery?

    I know that the smart battery will discharge itself over some period of time but I've been wondering if it is a good idea to just let the Mavic (and Spark) hover to run a battery down every now and then? Particularly if it has been a couple of weeks since the battery was last used. Is this good...
