Battery firmware update

RonMav · Jun 16, 2020

Hi everyone,
Should we be seeing an alert to update the battery‘s firmware after latest MA2 firmware update? I don’t :-(
Thanks

If Updating Firmware from Controller and DJI FLY app:
When powering up with subsequent batteries, after the first battery updated the MA2 firmware, wait about 2-4 minutes for the firmware update message to appear.

If updating by connecting to your computer and running DJI Assistant 2:
Powering up subsequent batteries immediately results in a message stating incompatible firmware versions (battery vs MA2 firmware), giving you the option to proceed with update or cancel.

Is there a way to manually initiate the battery update instead of waiting?

With my DJI Fly, the battery updates usually appear on the intro screen, before going into camera view

That is where I have seen it last go around but not this time. I used Assistant to update the drone and controller.Thought maybe the battery used at that time was updated but I see nothing for the other two.
Thanks

How many batteries do you have. If it is only 1 it was done automatically during the main firmware update. The rest of your batteries will be done when you install in the drone. Just look for notification on the main page.

The first battery is updated with the drone.

Each battery after that, as long as it is charged over 40%, start up the drone, click "Go Fly", then click back to the home screen, and the update should be prompted.

I used Assistant today, all went without a hitch. Simply powered down the MA2 after each battery completed and inserted the next one, powered up, Assistant then prompted.

It may take 3-4 minutes before the prompt appears.

That worked as you have described! The Fly app wasn’t giving me the battery prompt but seems there is a wait for it delay..
Thanks

Which assistant version are you using? I was unable to connect when I tried.
