Good Day all,
i just published my latest video on the proper care of your Mavic 2 Battery. These things aren't cheap, neither is the drone, so with some simple steps you can ensure that the battery offers a long useful life!


Looking forward to your comments!

Hey thanks Gamora!

Good call and thanks for sharing; still, you can consider reducing the video to 2-3min, highlighting the bullet points.

Hey thanks Woe! How do you normally manage the charges on your Mavic 2 Zoom Batteries?

Hey thanks Woe! How do you normally manage the charges on your Mavic 2 Zoom Batteries?

I usually done charge until I'm ready to fly. That way my batteries done

sit charged for days.

Firmware for the batteries?  I have not seen this.  Where do you look for current version installed and does Go Fly alert you to a battery firmware update?  I charge batteries after use after cool down and before storage.  I've yet to have a flight where I didn't go below 25% and get the RTH warning.  I've yet to see the batteries do their auto-discharge thing- have not gone 10 days without flying

Thanks for sharing

If you watched linustechtips, lithium polymer batteries should ideally be kept between around 40 to 60%, charging frequently between those values and not be run down or topped up completely.

Slow charging is better as it reduces heat during charging.

Not exactly practical but the above will keep your batteries in optimal condition.

Thank you for putting together a very informative video, well done.

I’m not near my Mavic 2 Pro at the moment. Not sure if one of the advanced menus show battery firmware. You can ensure they are all up to date by putting them in your drone after the drone receives an update. It will warn you when you turn it on.

Well, I have recently updated (flown twice since) and have seen no warnings.  Will be looking for it now.

Would like to have option as mentioned in video to override the 10 day auto discharge to begin sooner.

thank you for the video

I don’t have the Mavic but thinking about getting it real soon. All I have now is the spark

They all make their videos just a fraction over 10 minutes so they can maximise their monetisation. Just check out all the other drone videos. They are all like 10:17 or 10:22 etc. It's all about ad revenue.
