I am a little bit curious about the Mavic Mini performance, in general, until now.
My MM, since the 28th of August, 2020, made 86 flights, with a total distance of 121 Km and Total Air Time of 19h 48m 36s.
The number of cycles, per battery, is 18.
Never changed the propellers.
Still flying as the first day.

Could you share your experience with you own Mavic Mini?
How many cycles each battery can support?

Thank you all!

Have 26,8 hours of flight time, 82,7 km of flight distance and my three batteries had been charged about 12-15 times each. I have the combo with three batteries that I use one after one in sequence.

Fly safe !

Hello there Cients, thank you for reaching out and sharing this inquiry with the DJI Mavic Mini here in DJI Forum. We don't have an estimation when it comes to the battery life cycle, but for us to extend its battery life I would recommend for you to kindly follow our Safety guidelines. You may visit this link for better visualization: https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/ ... y_Guidelines_EK.pdf In addition, I hope that you can also get some recommendations from our beloved DJI users with regards to this inquiry. Thank you for your support and happy flying.

I have the fly more combo with 3 batteries since November 2019 and each one currently has between 85 and 90 charging cycles. I don't know my flight time and distance, I delete the logs regularly, but I always fly every battery down to 20%. Somewhere at some point I read about 200 charging cycles, but I don't know what happens then and whether that's even true. Perhaps an information will appear in the app that the battery should be replaced.

Hi, this warning will appear when battery almost hit 200 cycle, always check your voltage while flying and land between 20% - 30% battery left.
Li-Ion hate heat, so keep it cool after fying.
I can fly with this battery about 15~ minute (in slight breeze condition) the worst is 10~ minutes, and always landing beetwen 20% - 30%.
I have 3 batteries and each one have 180~ cycle

Happy Flying!

Good info...does the the warning appear only in the submenu or on main screen too...like the other warnings  ? The next question would be .. what happens AFTER reaching 200 cycles. By the way, I always land with about 20% because of the f****g annoying beeeeep beeeeep

Only in submenu. I dont know what happen when hit 200 cycle, I will updated when hit 200, or maybe sudden voltage drop or something else happen?
Haha thats why I dont like landing below 20%, that beeping sound so annoying.

I think after reaching 200 cycles a flashing warning will appear "Your battery is empty and the Mini 1 has been deactivated, please update to Mini 2"

My profile shows:  20.2 hours  85.6 km  150 flights
My longest flight was 5.54 km and I have about 60 flights that were under 100 meters.  Most of the short ones were either really short test or house photo flights, or flights in attempts to get a nice sunset where all I did was take off, climb to about 50 meters, hover until the battery was low and then descend and land.  I will be doing a bunch of short ones in the next couple weeks as I will be taking video of my Christmas light show, so most of those will fly less than 10 meters and hover for several songs, then land.  But that is one of the primary reasons I bought the drone.

Batt #1:  15 charges
Batt #2:  Unknown as it can't be read.  Estimate about 10 charges
Batt #3:  17 charges
Batt #4:  9 charges
Batt #5:  9 charges

Batteries #1, #2, & #3 were the original three I got with the Fly More combo.  #2 was killed in my crash a few months ago.  #4 and #5 were bought to replace the dead #2 and to get me up to four functional batteries.  I normally keep three in the charger and one in the Mini.

I'll have to change them, as you said, mine is geting louder too. I also check the RPM's and notice that rear left motor have more higher RPM's then others(1300+  just hovering) and becauose of that is louder. You can check it too and you'll see.

Here's the manual how to do that:
