Question for yas . I’m currently arguing with DJI over an apparent battery fell out of the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom. They are telling me It’s pilot error . Everything was fine , as i took off, i was watching craft as i normally do and glancing at app. At 2 seconds into flight as i was taking off , a brief warning stating battery not installed properly came up for 2.5 seconds and disappeared without me ever seeing it until the drone went missing and i replayed the flight log. If there was a a supposed battery connection issue, #1 why would there not even a constant warning, and #2 why would it let me take off , or even #3 return or land immediately. After 2 weeks if searching , we just found battery on roof of restaurant. Someone definitely grabbed drone as soon as it crashed , no where to be found . But pilot error is being ruled . As u can see I’m very experienced, with a crash SHOWING TOP speed of 167 mph lol . Seriously how is it pilot error when it never sent any other warnings .
I had a battery pop out of my Mavic Pro while flying. Fortunately it happened at a low altitude so I was able to recover and inspect things. It was due to to the battery swelling as the drone flew, eventually creating enough force to overpower the retaining pins and pop it loose. I had noticed that that battery ran hotter than my others. I have subsequently noticed that the batteries start this swelling at around 200 charges. The capacity and flight times remained consistent with new batteries, but the temperatures start running hotter and as they discharge (fly) they begin to puff out on the bottom causing the battery to separate from the aircraft. The swelling goes down as the battery cools making it appear relatively normal when preflighting. Beware when these lipo batteries are around 200 charges. |
