Air 2S Operating Temp

[bmoore1118]

I live in an area that gets cold and snow every year.

I see the Min temp I should fly to be 32F. Has anyone flown this cold before, does your battery life go down pretty bad?

Just want to plan for my winter flights.

The key is just to keep the Battery Warm when starting up in the Extreme Cold , you might consider getting a Wet Suit that keeps an Air Tight Seal on the Battery making it 6 degrees warmer. and keeps the moisture out of power button and battery compartment. When geared up with the Wet Suit the Air 2s can handle some extreme cold temps.

As @Phantomrain.org said - keep the drone and batteries warm till right before flying.

Many Canadian / northern state flyers on here that can give more direct advice on other things to do as well.

Takeoff Battery Temperature: 77°F (25°C)
Low Battery Temperature: 75°F (24°C)

Keep your batteries in the house and then to the car. The batteries are going to warm up when flying anyway.
