This anomaly has just happened today and I've had the unit for over 2 years. Anyone else had this happen? Thanks
Mine has done the same thing. Seems it’s due to cycles and age on the battery in the controller. I have not found it to be a problem.This anomaly has just happened today and I've had the unit for over 2 years. Anyone else had this happen? Thanks
When the battery “thinks” it is fully charged the DJI chargers will quit.Mine did that, but topping it off a couple times got it to fully charge. However as was stated, 97% isn't a problem. The only caution I would make is not to leave it on charge too long if it remains in charging state with no increase in charge level.
Thank you for your observations. I appreciate it.Mine did that, but topping it off a couple times got it to fully charge. However as was stated, 97% isn't a problem. The only caution I would make is not to leave it on charge too long if it remains in charging state with no increase in charge level.
That's interesting. Did it start at once or was it gradual?Same here. Mine is usually, 97, 94 or 90-something %. Rarely it gets to 100.
It was 100% when new. Now a bit erratic but always in the mid- to high-90s.That's interesting. Did it start at once or was it gradual?
Same with me but when I charge from a small external phone battery charger it goes to 100%.As an aside I plug the controller into the external battery charger when flying and it stays above 90% for the equivalent of 11 M2P batteries.I have 7 drone batteries and a Smahtree external battery pack that will charge about 4 drone batteries from 22% or so to full.This anomaly has just happened today and I've had the unit for over 2 years.

That's not much of a requirement for the controller. If it were, DJI would make accommodations or at least warn about discharging to 60% like they do for the AC batteries. Do avoid storing/transporting them in high heat locations for longer life, but there hasn't been many reports about controller battery issues.Interesting ... I dont have the chance to see it because I typically stop charging at 80% or lower. My target has been to get it to 30 ~ 50% at the end of the day. From what I have read, that will maximize the life of the battery.
That's not essential requirement but recommended practice for maximizing the longevity of lithium-based batteries.

Normal expected behavior.Update: my charging of my M2 controller stopped at 99% after which it shut off the display. Trying to charge again for possible top off turned off seconds from start. I use the cable attached to the side of the stock AC charger to charge the controller.
Give it time and increased # of discharges/charges.
I doubt if it has anything to do with the # of cycles because SCCooper reported in his post above that his rarely-used controller has the same issue.Give it time and increased # of discharges/charges.
Interesting.... mine only stated this within the last couple of weeks after well over a year’s use and hundreds of flights on each.I doubt if it has anything to do with the # of cycles because SCCooper reported in his post above that his rarely-used controller has the same issue.
