My Mavic Pro remote is not holding a charge

[Wapsiike]

My Mavic Pro remote will not hold a charge. I charge it to 100% take it off charger then check it an hour later it's at 63%. I've modified the antennas I dont no if I did something to cause this while adding the 4Hawks Xr Range Extender or if its something else. I've had the mod on the remote for awhile and it just started losing charge today. Any ideas?

before you do anything radical , what device eg android or ios are you using , if it an andoid it charges the phone and theres nothing you v=can do to stop it. on the IOS you can turn the charging of the device off

Steve is likely correct. My Samsung Note 10 did the same thing.

yes it happens to my android tablet .but when you plug it in you can disable charging ......i use a jump box for the car ...plug into the usb port on the side of the remote and it keeps the transmitter and the android charged ...but i start out with both fully charged so i dont load up the usb ports to much ...but it does work ..its an 8000 or 8 amp jump box i use a long usb cable and shove it into my pocket and its plugged into the transmitter ...now there both happy

Please read the OP’s post.
This is not all related to the Android charging from controller issue.
The OP’s unit is not in use or connected to anything when it simply refuses to hold a charge.

Yes, and what's not fully known is . . .
Is the controller turned on and connected to a drone, or not connected in any way to the drone . . . or is it losing charge simply in switched off mode ? (and checked now and then for status)

Mine was fully charged half hour later went for flight flew 20mins second battery in and remote was at 5 percent, appranlty pull down at top of the phone screen when connected and select charge option to data mode only. Not tried yet will do this week.

Without details of your drone and device there is no way to interpret your specific problem which may not be the same as the OPs.

Nope my s9 note sucks life from handset even when I change the pull down to transfer files

Ignore the "unfortunately it sounds like " etc comments. Just plug a power bank into the side prot and use the bottom port for data transfer. You can also charge an Android device while using if you use an OTG as per the picture.

It's thought to be unrelated to this.
Maybe the OP has solved it, no reply since the original post to be able to tell.

Maybe @Wapsiike can give us an update if he returns to check.

Using a power bank throug an OTG may also solve the problem.
