Hi everyone,

I wonder how long the Motion Controler 3 battery lasts.
I've charged it once or twice, but the battery seems to last a long time!
Is that normal?? I didn't use the Avata 2 for the last 15 days and today when I tried to charge the MC battery, it's full!!!

Does that happen to you too?

I'm afraid to fly and something can happen during the flight.

Lasts a long, long time.  Last time I used the MC3 was back in October.  Full charged, flew the Avata2 x 3 batteries for total MC3 on time for ~1 hr.  IIRC, maybe the 2nd or 3 rd time charged to from ~3 LEDs to full.  Total flights based on "Battery Count" was IIRC +60.

Since October using the DJI FPV RC3.  Battery like the MC3 last a long time.  

Guessing since it only needs power to transmit your inputs ~0.5 meters or less to you Goggles3 or N3, the power needs are minimal.

I normally check the capacity of all the batteries at least every 90 days.  MC3 which gets little if any use, I more or less ignore. It doesn't seem to self discharge significantly.  Couple days ago charging up to go fly I did check it.  Down to a solid 3 LEDs.  Fully charged it and placed in the sling bag just incase I need a backup to the RC3.

Thanks for your reply.
As I mentioned above, I charged the MC3 about 2 or 3 times in the last 6 months, and the battery practically never went down., although I haven't flown much with the Avata 2 because I also have a mini 4 Pro and I still do sports photography with a Canon camera. Thanks for the info, it helped me feel better about this.

The new MC and RC for the avata 2 don't broadcast their signal at the drone,    they use the goggles to relay the signal so it's all low energy bluetooth so it will last for ages.
