In storage discharge

Ranmanjc · Feb 4, 2019

Yesterday I flew my mavic pro and everything was good controller said I had GPS and the flight went perfect. On the upper left-hand corner of my phone where it normally says GPS what is a red bar that said in storage discharge and it would not go away. Today I tried to recreate the situationand everything is fine. Sorry the picture is upside down but that's just the way it happened. Anyway I'm curious if that message was referring to the AC battery or the RC battery. if anybody knows what this is about let me know. And no I do not fly in my house. And yes I do get GPS in my house.

That message was referring to the aircraft battery.

Did you remember to charge the battery before flying? If it was discharging, it likely was not fully charged.

It may not have been fully charged but at least 3/4. I always check before flight. I've just never seen it before. RC was 100%

i would hazard a guess that the battery was in the auto discharge cycle and the controller was able to know this and gave you the warning

I have charged that battery after the flight which was only about 5 minutes. The message has not returned. Just curious about it. I would not have flown if I did not have a good controller and aircraft battery percentage. I guess if I see it again I will just pull that battery and swap it. I think it was just a glitch because when I saw it it was not in storage discharge it was flight discharge.
