That's the DJI test facility you get to by following the road to Hogwarts and then turning left at the junction signposting Narnia.Just received an email from DJI this morning, 51 minute flight time for the Mini 3?
DJI Mini 3 class battery specs (DJI published):That's the DJI test facility you get to by following the road to Hogwarts and then turning left at the junction signposting Narnia.
For sure. I just cut and pasted from the section describing the batteries and figured those with the appropriate drone would sort it out.@Dustydoug ,the Mini 3 does not have OA ,so it would be very hard to to turn it off ,i suspect that it was refering to the Mini 3 pro
Every real world flight is different so it's appropriate for DJI's tests to be carried out in controlled conditions.I am sure that these conditions occur regularly where all of us fly drones.

Hope this Helps.

Best to Fly to 30% (max)
... Therefore, it is advisable to land the drone and replace the battery when the battery level reaches 30% or lower. This is to ensure enough power for a safe landing and avoid damaging the battery due to over-discharge.
thanks for the english lesson...Do you mean "moot" or "mute"? There is big difference.
English, not englishthanks for the english lesson...
Agreed and I live by that but I honestly can't expect others to do the same especially where the risk is negligible (i.e. there are no people on board). BTW, I don't know this but do cargo aircraft calculate the same?Commercial aircraft are required to carry enough fuel on board to reach their destination based on their gross weight and the forecast weather, then fly to their alternate airport, and then fly for another 45 minutes. So under normal conditions they land with a lot of fuel still on board.
Drone pilots should treat their battery similarly - never plan a flight that will use up all or nearly all of the battery.
The CARs make no distinction between cargo vs. passenger aircraft in describing the amount of fuel that must be carried on board.Agreed and I live by that but I honestly can't expect others to do the same especially where the risk is negligible (i.e. there are no people on board).

The mini 3 series uses lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries. States it quite clearly in the specs section of the manual published by DJI.This whole Conversation is *MUTE*
Firstly, the optimal flight time for the DJI Mini 3 battery is not the maximum flight time. The maximum flight time is the theoretical limit of how long the battery can last under ideal conditions, but it does not account for factors such as wind, temperature, altitude, speed, and flight mode. These factors can affect the power consumption and performance of the battery, and flying until the battery is drained can damage the battery cells and reduce their lifespan.

All rechargeable batteries including the Lithium batteries (used by DJI), have their lifespans shortened by constantly discharging them to close to 0%.
However the DJI Mini 3 batteries use lithium polymer (LiPo) cells, which have a higher energy density and discharge rate than other types of lithium batteries. LiPo batteries can be discharged up to 100% without causing permanent damage, but this will reduce their cycle life significantly.
Therefore, it is recommended to keep your DJI LiPo batteries within a safe DoD (depth of discharge) range of 30% to 80%, which corresponds to a State of Charge (SoC) range of 20% to 70%. if you want to store them.
This will ensure that your batteries last longer and perform better.
Hope this Helps.
I strongly disagree.Commercial aircraft are required to carry enough fuel on board to reach their destination based on their gross weight and the forecast weather, then fly to their alternate airport, and then fly for another 30 minutes. So under normal conditions they land with a lot of fuel still on board.
