2.6Ah TITAN
Best flight times so far with this battery is 29 minutes 45 seconds Plus the Mavic battery has been re-charged 24 times
From what I saw on the pack tells me it's not enough.
11.1V pack
113W for 12 min max is 10 amp constant for 12 minutes
300W for <60 seconds is 27 Amps for <60 seconds
Don't look at the 2.6Ah or whatever Amp Hour rating. This mostly gives you a capacity rating for the packs voltage, but the amp hour rating doesn't say what the max constant amp discharge and peak discharge is. This is what you need to really know when it come to the mavic. Well first you really need to know what the total power consumed by the mavic is under all conditional. My point is you can have a higher Ah pack, but it might have more total capacity and do less constant discharge amperage.
Assuming it's a 1C pack and a charge rate of 2.6A, then the cells are probably 2600mAh cells.
If this is a 6 cell pack, then it's 3p3s to double the amperage.
If 2 cells paired together by 3 pairs only gives 10 Amps constant for a max of 12 minutes then this is DEFINITELY NOT the correct battery pack for the mavic.
You can not cool down the batteries by air flow, or heat compounds. If they are hot then you were over draining them, end of story. The seals are safety seals designed to vent from shorts and failures of the batteries. Some ways these seals fail by melting away caused by over heat. If you try to cool down the cells then your bypassing the safety.
What happens to a chemical that reaches a temperature at the point it combusts while it's contained in a metal canister???? Anyone???
Well if the seal doesn't break and release this pressure by venting properly then it explodes in this metal canister with shrapnel dispersing. This is why these batteries have this seal, this is why you don't add ways to cool them down like I've seen mentioned.
So stop now, don't even bother trying to work out the voltage reporting issue for flight time reported correctly, it doesn't matter.
So we know for sure now the mavic is pulling more then 10A drain, that was sort of a given assumption to tell you the truth. Voltage regulators will add heat and weight, weight will decrease flight times and add stress to the thrust needed to maintain flight, added thrust will drain more amperage and current. For a voltage regulator to do 30 amps while boosting the voltage then it will be a big regulator and need a big heat sink that will add more weight. Do you see a cycle yet?
Lets go back to my post of needing to figure out how much the mavic requires for flight in hover, flying, sports mode and what the highest drain is on punch outs in sports modes.
Then, and only then we can figure out what the best Li-Ion batteries would be for the mavic application that will handle the constant wattage needed for the full flight time. Theirs another thread that's looking into the logs and decifering logs to correctly figure out total wattage power consumption, let them finish fist and maybe Titan has a pack that might meet what they figure out is needed,
Or waist your money, buy the wrong batteries, possibly crash the mavic, possibly blow the battery up or vent them and catch the mavic on fire, possibly have a thermal runaway and let us know how it turns out. But don't expect sympathy from me or warranty coverage from DJI. But do everyone a favor and DO NOT fly these outside the house. One crash and bad press on top of everything else going on and they may stop all flights.
Food for thought, why do you think Titan checked in, read the thread, gave some legal words and rartngs of the batteries and never posted since then. I don't think he will be back anytime soon. As a new company I wouldn't want my batteries to be part of a big ores news of a drone crash from people modding them. It would hurt his company and he's trying to grow it and make something better.
