Thanks for posting the DJI info. If it potentially saves one failed flight, it is worth charging up the Fly More combo in sequence, out of the box. A very simple precaution which makes sense, if they are “smart” batteries that may need a set initialisation procedure. I posted the initial alert here after seeing the German YT clip. Cheers from NZ. My Air 2 is due here in 2-3 weeks.
Hi: have you seen the posting elsewhere here with the copy of the DJI workaround? Worth noting as it may save a problem, even if not everybody is getting the same issue. Cheers.
I’ve never had any issues charging with the hub on prior FlyMore combos, didn’t think any different. What a downer, I wish they would have put a big red sticker over the hub if they knew.
After MH370, IATA has imposed progressively stricter limits on the batteries intended for air transport. So a previous design of battery may not have so many "failsafes" which are difficult to reverse at the customer side. Believe me, I work in a related industry and trying to comply to these regulations have resulted in many headaches, jobs lost, scrapping of parts and also lost of business revenue.
Yes, that is corect.
That is my understanding from the German YT link that I posted several days ago. The new, uncharged “smart” batteries need an initialisation off the single unit charger BEFORE they get multi charged in the 3-way bank. Once the first charge has been completed on that unit, the batteries are formatted. Even if some users are not seeing a problem, I will still be doing single initial charges when my MA2 Fly More arrives in a few weeks - just to be safe.
Yes, I didn’t have any issues...but everyone receiveing a fly more kit should certainly practice the single charger practice first thing. Why risk it, I wish I would have done that.
