This probably isn't anything that you don't already know but the factors are practically endless when trying to determine battery life. To extend my battery life I turn off the obstacle avoidance when I'm in an open area. When doing outdoor shoots preplan your route this will keep any unnecessary flight to a minimum. My best times are around 30 mins. But it takes a lot of planning because it is almost impossible to reach the advertised 43 minutes
Mavic 3 also here. I fly around 30 minutes average per flight. Of course wind, hover, speed, altitude and much more factor in.
Advertised flight time is actually 46 minutes on the Mavic 3, from 100% to 0%, flying at 15mph, in 0 mph winds, at sea level, according to DJI.
Need to look up that battery on your controller under settings-battery while paired and see how many cycles it has been charged and what the separate cells voltages are, and what its sitting voltage is at 100% “charged”. Old battery may have already passed its useful life cycle if it has too many cycles, has a bad cell, damage from being ran to 0 too many times, etc.I just bought a used Mavic Air. Came with a battery and I bought a new one. Flew it yesterday. I got ten minutes flying down to 30%. Thought I would get a little more. Is there anything I could do to extended the time?
