So, either the batteries are not discharging because the battery firmware hasn't updated, or my batteries are related to Schroedinger's cat - ie measuring the charge periodically means that the batteries don't think they've been idle and so haven't discharged...
Each time you check the batteries, that resets the timer and interrupts the discharging.
That was my thought - hence the Schroedinger's cat comment - but:
a) there are conflicting reports about whether or not that is the case.
b) the batteries were left for different periods of time in my big test specifically to try to with that out, and
c) of my original batteries a further test leaning them untouched for 10b days resulted in a discharge of just 4% (100% down to 96%).
During the big test, leaning the batteries for one day or for days later no difference. As my grid shows, the batteries still only dropped 1 or 2 percentage points in that time.
The theory of interrupting the batteries by checking is good, bit unfortunately it isn't borne out in practice - at least not in all cases as my tests proved.
Sadly, without further info from DJI regarding what defect they found in my batteries, will never know... I do need to write up my full findings, though, now. |
