DJI Two Mini 2/SE Intelligent Flight Batteries

Product Information

If you have bought the Fly More Combo version of the Mini 2, your drone will already come with the 2-way charging hub and two additional batteries to give you 3 times the flight time.

Apart from these smart features, the BMS also communicates with the aircraft to share critical battery stats for accurate flight management like calculating remaining flight time or battery health warnings. How to store your DJI mini 2 battery properly? However, it is not a good idea to fly your drone in extremely low temperatures. Even if your drone takes off, it can crash midway due to low discharge from the battery. The battery is damaged But in rare cases, a fully loaded LiPo battery can become a fire hazard too – the reason why we recommend using a fireproof LiPo safety bag to store drone batteries.The table below runs you through the main features of both batteries. DJI Mini 2 Intelligent Flight Battery Another important factor is the discharge rate, i-e how hard you usually push your drone to extreme speeds and maneuvers where it draws the maximum possible current from the batteries. If the battery is damaged, you should immediately dispose it of as using it is a fire/explosion hazard. Faulty power button One of the many features of the Intelligent Battery Management System built into each battery is that it protects the battery from all kinds of risks that can damage the battery’s health and reduce its life.

When DJI ship your drone, the batteries are put in a special sleep mode called ‘hibernation’. Before you can use your battery, you have to ‘wake them up’. Once your battery is out of hibernation, put it in your drone and turn it ON. If hibernation was the issue, it should turn ON now. Battery terminals & compartment is dirtyThe BMS also ensures the battery goes into hibernation during long storage times (more on this below). When the battery becomes hot during use, do not charge it immediately after. Handling the battery when it’s hot can cause burns, so give it 10 or more minutes to cool down, then charge it. First, clean the battery terminals with the cotton swab soaked in cleaning alcohol. Make sure to clean any and all debris, dirt any foreign objects. DJI LiPo batteries are quite resistant to physical deformation but a drone crash can impact the batteries severely. They can de-shape, deform or even the internal circuitry gets damaged.

If your third LED light blinks two times a second, that’s indicative of high battery voltage. You’re likely overcharging the battery, so begin discharging the battery to one percent before charging. Again, a simple but common mistake on part of new users. If you are trying to fly a drone with a fully drained battery, the drone will simply not turn on. This guide provides a detailed troubleshooting guide that you can follow to eliminate the most common causes of your problem and most of the time, your drone will turn on. If you are turning your drone ON for the first time after arrival, chances are that your drone batteries are in hibernation. The Mini SE sports the same quieter, more powerful motors as the Mini 2 rather than the older Mini with which it shares many components. While the cheaper drone doesn’t quite manage to get as much maneuverability out of the motors, they’re both capable of resisting wind up to Force 5 (10.5 m/s), which is one step up the scale from the old Mini.But if you regularly discharge the battery below 30% or less, your battery won’t last more than 200 cycles. The DJI Mini 2 battery won’t work when the temperature drops below 14 °F (-10 °C). If you are flying in an area where the temperature is below freezing point, that could be the reason. If you’ll forgive a brief history lesson, the product DJI had put out for that market before was the DJI Spark. That drone went to what might be seen in retrospect as a little too much effort to flag itself as an entry level, ‘easy-to-use’ and ‘fun-to-fly’ product, but at 300g came along when it was starting to become clear that it’d be overweight for regulators who were looking to make pilots register drones weighing over 0.55lbs or 250g. Users were also less excited by the ‘Jedi mode’ gesture controls which YouTube influencers discussed at length than they were irritated by the fact that the remote control was an optional paid-for extra. The Intelligent Flight Battery includes LED light indicators that tell you how far the battery charging has progressed.

If your batteries are inside the charging hub, just press the button on the side of the charging hub, and the LED indicators will light up, showing the current charge level of the batteries in each slot. If only the fourth LED light blinks three times a second, the Intelligent Flight Battery is charging at an excessively high temperature. Ideally, a LiPo battery should be used between 50% & 80% charge levels. But this is not always possible.Always fly safe and avoid any crashes to prevent any physical damage to your batteries. If that happens, immediately replace the damaged batteries.
