Well, it seems I'm just another person with a failing battery. I went to fly this weekend and when I switched to my no2 battery (about 1yr old, less than 20 charges) I found the feared "Battery error/Cell broken" message. Of course I've always treated well my batteries by:
-Never flying below 30%
-Charging them back when arriving home to avoid keeping them in very low charge
-Setting up properly the self discharge option in order to keep them in good shape
-Charging them up before flying if necessary
I've tried the known methods to rebalance it (discharge to minimums and fully charge it again) but it has not worked so far. As I know my battery is out of warranty and as I've seen a lot of messages in multiple forums from people complaining about their batteries suddenly dying I'd like to ask you all (if you had the same problem) when was the battery manufactured? My guess is that some of the batteries have indeed some manufacturing defect. I've also seen this thread (https://mavicpilots.com/threads/battery-error-cell-broken.38806/) which might confirm that production quality at least on some of the batteries is not exactly good. I also wonder whether they actually found a hardware error and fixed it, as I don't want to be buying batteries every now and then...
My battery, by the way, was manufactured on January 2017.
