Dji acknowledged that? Lol and sure 26 hours is a decent out of flight time....but not between 3 batterys/ and 2 years! Besides this 26 hours was for the aircraft as a whole..i mean come on i have done "21" flights or whatever the number was for each of his batterys was in a few months time and that was just casual flying on just the weekends because of being busy life/work... so in 2 years between 3 lipos ....im sorry i have to disagree they sat most of their life... With that said another clue as to him not really knowing what to look for with his batterys in fl8ght and in app is the fact that his "show voltage" setting is set to "off" that setting plays a big role for me, when I am flying/looking at general battery health in flight/ can see voltage lag/ crappy battery, clues are voltage turning red when should still be in "geen" ..... I mean surely other people have to have this setting a table or at least use it... correct?
Yes, I believe they did, there was a date range for bad batch.
Don't think there was a recall.
I was going on the OPs original post info, assumed he had 26 hours flight time / 2 years old on the battery he was referring to.
I know, that's only 80 or so flights, not good still.
Some of those M2 battery threads have people with 20 or 30 flights and a swollen battery/ies.
I agree with your battery maintenance mentions in several posts generally, pretty much do that myself.
I'm still using 3 original 3-1/2 yo M1P batteries, and one a bit over 3 years old, all still perfect, no swelling ever when warm (they don't seem to get more than warm to the touch) and flight times virtually indiscernible from original.
I'm sure most experienced Mavic pilots use similar battery maintenance methods, this leads me to believe the M2 do have a weaker design, more prone to heat and swelling, especially when pushing it into wind or using sports mode.
Maybe 4s runs a bit hotter than 3s, not sure . . . the flat back of the M2 battery vs the little expansion sace of the M1P battery is a step back.
If the M2 had this it might result in resisting a little swelling in the batteries, and being forced out of the clips in flight.
Take care and safe flights.
