Mavic 2 remote at 0% wont charge

xedder · Jul 5, 2023

Mavic 2 pro remote is at 0% doesnt seem to charge any ideas ?
Last few months it only charged to 96 % with full charge.
Battey toast or some kind of reset neeeded?

How long since it was last charged?

xedder · Jul 5, 2023

2 weeks ago Use it a lot (had since 2019 ) maybe just wore out , only goes to 96%

If you use it a lot and it has been a few years Its probably time to get another battery installed or get a new controller There are third party places you can send it to and get the batteries replaced But I have not used them I Had A Mavic pro 1 and the controllers battery finally died first it started doing what you describe then it would charge and only last a few hours and finally death.

Are these not user replaceable (for the adventurous)?

Still very useable with that number.

I know MANY who have done it. If you can solder and understand the basics its quite simple to do.

Tried vacuuming out thinking port was shorting out also scraped it with toothpick ...no luck
May get DJI to repair it or DIY ( i can solder ) if i can source legit battery for it.

There's a bunch of info in the following thread. Some of the info is Mavic Pro 1, but should still be helpful for MP2.

I haven't had to replace my battery yet, but I already bought one and have it stored here somewhere.

RC battery replacement

Has anyone experience of replacing a battery in the M2P remote control? I know there is a YouTube tutorial which I may pursue, with a replacement battery from eBay at around £25. Alternatively...has anyone paid for a dji replacement? Thoughts appreciated...it's not urgent, I can probably get two...

If the battery charges to 96%, why would you need to do anything other than use it?

I think the 96% was in the past. Now he can't get past 0%

Does it show that it is charging? Perhaps stick a USB ammeter inline to see if any charge is being delivered.

Here is a good video on how to replace the battery in the RC:

Thats very nice that you don't have a hard connection there to have to solder . Makes it very simple to fix .

Is it possible this entire issue is related to a bad charge port? Why DJI used what port configuration they did has been an ongoing source of damaged ports for a long time.

I would think that you would get no read-out at all, were that the case.

Took it to a DJI authorized repair store and they tested and said either port or battery
when i put it away it was 65 % charged then 2 weeks later 0 %
it is very humid here so maybe that shorted some thing or just wore out

Cafguy · Jul 5, 2023

They are actually pretty cheap around 20 bucks and it comes with the connector ready to go

If the port is damaged, that should be visible.
Not difficult to replace.
