While I am flying the Smart Controller gives me the prosentage of the battery OF THE BIRD on the top left corner.
Is there a way I can see the prosentage of the Smart controllers battery while flying ?

How can I check the condition ( not the charging prosentage ) of my Mavics batteries AND the condition of my Smart Controllers battery ?

My batteries have been acting strange lately and I try to figure out what is going on before I open my smart controller. First it only charged up to 56 % but now it seems to charge full again...
I did not fly for few months and after that the batteries started acting strange ( both - Smart Controller and Mavic 2 pro. )
One of the birds batteries is clearly swollen and I am not using it anymore.

I´ve been obviously Googleing the issues, but it would be good to hear your thoughts on this.

The LED lights Above the screen as in the attached pictures show you the state of the battery. When all are lit up it is fully charged. Frankly, in using my mavic 2 Pro 4 or 5 or 6 times I've never run out of smart controller battery.

I once had my SC shut down while flying, but I only had one light lit on the controller. Never fly when it is that low. I thought I could do a quick 5 min flight, but no. That was scary and right next to a lake. The Mavic 2 Pro flew away to the lake, I thought it was over.

Then it turned back over the trees and did some stuff then flew back out over the lake and then came back and landed itself within 2 inches of where I took off from on a picnic table. Legs did not even drop between the top table boards. Simply amazing.

The four lights tell you the charge level on the SC but be sure to be careful when you see it drop to just 2 lights lit.
