Firmware/ Batteries

Mavic would not accept firmware with original battery. Put a new battery in and it accepted the firmware with no issues.

How far does it get? What, if any, error message do you get? Screen shot?

 

[kingbrad22]

With the original battery the firmware got to 76% then failed. With new batteries it was a 100% successful.

How many times did you try the first battery? Does it force you to do the battery update?

 

[kingbrad22]

I tried it over 20 times. Yeah it forces it. I ordered new batteries and tried it and it updated with no problems. I'm am just going to stick with new batteries

I would contact DJI and tell them and see if you can just send them the battery since you have others to use. Usually they want you to send the whole drone in which wouldnt make sense for you since you have more batteries to fly with.

One last resort you can try. Let the battery deep discharge down to 8%. Recharge it to 100% and see if that helps. Of course this is only possible if the Mav will start with that battery. If you cant fly it to drain the battery and want to drain the battery, turn on the Mav and let it sit until the battery discharges. Make sure you keep the gimbal bubble off and a fan blowing on the gimbal to circulate air into the fan.
