Battery Life?

[skipper20]

How do you determine how many times your battery has been charged and how much life it has remaining? Are non-OEM batteries as good as or better than the DJI original?

That a good topic also would like to know
I have 1 battery that went bad while flying.!
You can look on you go4 app
To see how many time it has been charge the date of battery and the 3 cell voltage when charge
To really know if a battery is going bad you have to put a load on it and watch for all 3 cell integrity
.
I will watch this thread and with the OP
Welcome any positive input
(no pun intended)

Times battery has been charged is in go 4 app. I would only use dji batteries. I think way to much thought is put into the batteries as far as life and when to discharge. I leave mine charged and they start discharging on day 5 if i have not flown. I have 4 batteries with over 150 charges and they work just like the day i got them— perfect- i would not tinker with other batteries as you are asking for failure of some type

How do you determine how many times your battery has been charged

You can find the times charged count in the Aircraft Battery section of DJI GO. That count shows the number if times the battery is been charged from 0% to 100%. Since you're not able to charge the battery from 0% to %100 in a single charge, a count showing 10 (for example) means you likely put the battery on the charger at least 20 times.

DJI GO and/or the battery itself is not able to show exactly how much life is remaining. Replace the battery when it stops performing as designed. You'll be able to maximize the battery life by maintaining and storing your batteries like this:

HOW TO: Maintain and store your DJI Mavic batteries

That's what I like to hear. Thanks because I just leave my batteries fully charged and in the event that I don't fly for a while then they will just discharge themselves, no need for any fuss, but I must say that I do respect those pilots that keep on top of all this stuff and know when to charge and when not to. Its just too much stress for me lol

Another good place to check your batteries and even get a health report on them is Drone Data Management and Flight Analysis | Airdata UAV
