Discharging Mavic Mini batteries

[smalt0141]

Is there any way to discharge my Mavic Mini batteries without flying the drone. I am in Tucson where we are having a lot of wild fires and many of the areas that I usually fly in have become restricted zones until the fires are quelled. I charged my batteries last week hoping to fly; but that was cancelled. Need to discharge???
Thanks for any help....

Yes, if you have the fly more combo, you can use the charger with the Battery you want do discharge to load your callphone. Works great [emoji5]

Do I plug in the battery to the charger and then at the other end connect my phone or i pad????

If you have the combo, put one battery that you want to discharge in the 3-battery charger. Do not connect the charger to a charging plug.

Use one of the usb cables that came with it with the right connector for your phone. Plug the standard usb end of the cable into the usb socket of the charger. Plug into phone. This will charge your phone and drain the battery .

Drain until about 2 LED displayed, 50%. Remove the mini battery. If you need to discharge another, put it in the charger and repeat.

You can put 3 batteries in together but if you forget, you'll completely discharge all 3. One at a time and you could only fully discharge that one battery. Full discharges, I'm told, are bad for the battery

If the RC battery is the same type of battery as in the craft, you probably should discharge both, by powering up both the RC and then read the battery level on your phone to determine when to stop discharging. It doesn't take long for heat energy to build up even when the blades are not turning.

The Mavic Mini has lithium ion batteries. These don't need to be discharged for storage like a LiPo battery.

LifesShort is right, Lithium batteries inside your mini are more forgiving than LiPo's as far as storage charge level is concerned.
