Ideal amount of batteries? How many batteries do you have?

[easyheimer]

What’s the ideal amount of batteries you should have for your Mavic Mini and how many do you have for yours?

1 at a time.

 

[BLACK314]

I have three and haven’t had a need yet for more. I would be fine with just 2.

 

[Argentinanatural]

I have three batteries and they are the ones I use. I think it is enough.
Greetings from Argentina!

 

[hashfly]

Have 3 and haven't felt the need for more. For my FPV quads I have enough that I can cycle through and keep charging to fly all day long

 

[ludotalk]

I have only the included one.
It's enough to begin with, since 25min flight time gives me plenty of video to work on.
And I was surprised the battery can be fast recharged back in one hour.

4 and only use 3. Keep 1 for trip home if I see something
i just got to get a picture of.
When I just had 3 it was the same.Would just burn 2 and have the spare.
Do the same with my M2P. Always have a full one on hand.

I'm planning a few "expeditions" for this summer where I might want to use more than 3 batteries, so I'm getting one of these QC 3.0 car charges on eBay. I have a 12v outlet in my car that's always hot, so with that charger plugged into the hub, I think 3 batteries should provide all-day flying without much dead time -- maybe some for recharging the controller.

But, if you're not going to be recharging in the field, then I think the answer to your question is the same as the question, "How many batteries can you fly on one controller charge?" I'm not quite clear on that myself.

Can that outlet handle two batteries charging at once?

 

[RogerDH]

Can that outlet handle two batteries charging at once?

It says it has dual 18W ports.

 

[BarbT]

I have three batteries. So far that seems to be more than adequate for my MM.

Charging batteries from your car’s power plug?
You sure you want to do that?

Yep, but of course if I'm in one place a long time, I'll run the engine every once in a while. I do it all the time with my cameras, laptop, and toy drones. A typical car battery can provide 2 amps for 20 hours.

 

[Thomas B]

While I fly mostly M2P, battery numbers are relavent. I always carry 5, 1 in the drone plus 4 others, most of the time. I may on occasion carry as many as 10, leaving 5 in the car.

I have a decent 26800mAh battery bank for wild camping trips, rotatino my 3 batteries I’m able to stay off grid and fly all weekend

 

[C Rex]

I have 3, but I wouldn’t mind having 3 more.

 

[Dbez1]

With the miserly battery consumption of the mini, 3 batteries are more than sufficient for me.

I have 3

 

[StubbornSwiss]

Got the Fly More Combo, so I got 3 batteries.

Haven't yet seen the need to have any more.

Stay safe!

 

[Robert g]

I have 3 from having a flymoro combo thats more than plenty
