Fairly new MP owner. Purchased just over a month ago
First few missions went smoothly. No issues. I bought a second battery independently to extend overall mission time.
Last couple I've been experiencing low voltage issues (I can't remember if the word "critical" was used, but it was a red warning) and I immediately RTH
It happened the first time on one battery (the one that came with the MP). I returned home and later that day when I went to recharge, I got LED #4 flashing three times a second ("too hot to charge" I think that is?). Essentially refusing to charge.
Contacted DJI and obviously suspecting it may be a bad battery.
After a few days, it eventually decides to start charging again. Fine.
After a couple weeks of no flying, I decide to take it out. I get the low voltage issue with the same battery. Well, I kind of expected that.
However, I get more or less EXACTLY the same issues now with the second battery. Again, at pretty much 30% I get a red low voltage warning. Immediate RTH and glad I could make it home.
What's even stranger is that when I get home not only do I feel like I'm missing an entire video of my first mission (there's a chance I didn't pretty the record button properly .. I use the DJI Goggles and it's a bit faffy), there's only one flight log. Where did the second one go? Anyway, I checked the log using online analysis and there's no record there of the low voltage warning (although I've yet to check the individual cell variance)
Now both batteries are flashing LED #4 three times a second and I'm grounded.
The weather here in the UK is pretty warm. Sensor reading states 72 Fahrenheit. So it's not super sweltering. Are the batteries just cooking? Or should I expect them to tolerate higher temps than this? Am I simply flying too hard in the 30-40% bracket?
Curious thing is.. How the eff does this happen to TWO batteries? Two batteries with identical issues? Chances of that must be pretty unlikely?
My battery regime so far has always been fully charge battery, fly to about 30-20% then fully charge, rinse repeat. I would generally let the batteries cool before recharging. From what I've read it kinda feels like there are probably too many ways you can damage these batteries for comfort, although for just over a month's ownership and not that many missions (maybe around 8 total) it seems the degradation of these batteries is way too quick?
Anyone experienced similar?
