Broken pin on my Mavic 2 Pro Battery

[Patrick T.]

I just noticed that on one of my Mavic 2 battery it has a broken pin about the middle of the battery so I charged the battery and it charged normal so I put it in my Mavic and went on the go4 app and all cells are the same it all looks normal does one pin on the battery effect the battery

Several pins on one side is +, several on the other is -. Ones in the middle is communications. That pin would seem to be one of the communications pins so I'm surprised the app didn't present an error.

i think it still getting contact cause I noticed the pin was bent down so I straightened it back up .
that’s a fairly new battery it only has like 12 charges and never have crashed the drone or anything and don’t remember dropping it or anything so really don’t know what happened

Me personally, I would consider that battery damaged. I would not trust it even if it seems ok.. it would always be in the back of my mind while flying. I would not feel comfortable with it mounted..as they say. To each its own....

Yes. My thoughts exactly it would be hard to trust it and don’t think it’s worth risking the drone I have 6 batteries so don’t think one less battery is gonna make a whole lot of difference thanks

It should be OK. It worked OK and you then straightened it.

Great decision, I'm sure their are other factors you would want to concentrate on than an additional one like..." Is My Drone Going To Fall Out Of The Sky"....

I have 4 props on my $1600 drone, one prop has a huge chunk broken off it but it still flies ok... you get my drift?

 

[silverdragon]

Not to disrespect your reply but it's not worth it.... but then again a prop is how much and a battery is much more...

The power pins are redundant on each side, so you definitely won't lose power. It should still continue to fly with communication loss during flight.
