A afix was issued with the new aircraft firmware in June 2021 (fw 1.03.0000) that is supposed to fix the issue where batteries were not auto-discharging properly when stored in the two way charging hub.
However, a number of people have reported problems getting the battery firmware to update and I am personally in the process of returning my batteries to DJI as they steadfastly refuse to auto-discharge as described in the manual despite numerous attempts to force the battery firmware update.
I was unaware of all this battery maintenance stuff, I charged all 3 of my batteries in the hub they are all still full, took them out of the hub 3 days later returned to the hub they all show they are full
Where is the procedure for how to care for these batteries and how to verify all of them have the current updates?
I have had batteries for battery power tools since they became commercially available back in the early 80's and have always kept the batteries topped off fully charged so they are always ready to use, I have never heard about this self discharging maintenance thing.
In the early days of battery tools it was common to put each battery in the flashlight and run it completely dead then recharge, we did this about once a month on the tools that were used daily, now everything has the newer batteries we just keep them topped off no full discharging, battery issues are no longer a problem, nothing short lived, no batteries getting a memory and not wanting to fully charge etc. Today's power tool batteries last for years hundreds of charge discharge cycles. I bought a attachment for my power tool batteries that turns the battery into a power supply so I can use my power tool batteries to charge my Drone batteries while out in the wild.
No doubt Drone batteries everything is more conservative like running a battery dead, when it happens in a power tool you swap out the battery when it happens in a Drone it falls from the sky.
