I think DJI has made their position on these pretty clear. They post the same response in every thread. I have a Mavic2 Pro from the first run, and my batteries were manufactured in July of 2018. I got the Fly more package when I ordered this, and I use my Mavic several times a week as I work in the development industry and am constantly flying construction sites. I also purchased DJI care when I got this, mainly due to the fact that it was a new product and who knows what bugs still needed working out. Last year right before my DJI care expired, I sent in my first bulging battery. DJI's response was basically "sorry, batteries are not covered under DJI care" I stopped using that battery and ordered two more new ones. My remaining two original batteries are now starting to swell. One has 58 charge cycles, and one has 45. I too would expect them to last longer, but I also understand the extreme conditions these batteries are exposed to and that they basically have a useful life. I am not a chemical engineer and don't understand exactly what a reasonable life of a Lithium Ion Polymer battery is, and if what is happening is just a result of a normal process of breaking down over time, regardless of the charge cycles. Maybe if someone can chime in on that that actually knows, that would help. Other than the batteries swelling, this craft has been EXTREMELY reliable, safe, and has provided countless hours of high quality footage. I am a huge fan of it, and would buy another if this one died or crashed. |
