Flying Mavic 2 Pro with a Smart controller - battery issues.

[peikko]

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.

... Is there a way I can see the prosentage of the Smart controllers battery while flying ?

For DJI GO4 you have a "full screen mode" for the live screen... meaning that all icons & other disturbing things disappear so you easier can evaluate the motif.

Default you enter this full screen mode by single finger swiping once from screen bottom to top... & exit this mode by single finger swipe from top to bottom. (In the settings you can change from a single finger swipe to a double finger if you so desire).

At the top right corner in the full screen mode you have a mobile device battery percentage (see pic. below), but as you have the Smart controller the percentage should be for the controller.

Try it & see if it works...

Thank you. I will try that out.

Since having problems with the battery of the bird - or the smart controller, I have been flying with an external powersource connected to the Smart controller. That causes the five leds blinking continously, so I can not have any idea of the charging level of the Smart Controller . Strange that they do not put an option to have the charge level of the controller shown, since it is pretty much as important as the battery level of the drone... There is a lot of info on the screen that is irrelevant and I could live without. The level of the batteries on my controller is not one of them ...
