Hi all. I noticed that my batteries are not discharging automatically even after several days... i could not find anywhere in the dji go app the option to select dischard window period.

Arent these smart batteries?

They do it automatically after being idle for 10 days and you cannot change the setting.

If Air's batteries otherwise work like them for Pro, then the countdown for auto-discharge resets each time the battery button is pressed. In other words; do not check the voltage on the batteries before a few weeks have elapsed.

Yes, it's the intelligent battery. Like the answers above, the battery will auto-discharge after 10 days. And if you check the battery during this time, the time will be reset.

Thx. Also what about the question whether they are LiPo or LiCoO2?

They are LiPo as in Lithium Polymer, using LiCoO2 or Lithium Cobolt Oxide in their electrodes

They are lipo and why in the world would u leave your batteries charged for several days so they can discharge themselves???   U should never leave them fully charged for more then a day.   U should go have a read about lipo's or their cycle life will be very short. Abd will not perform correctly! Never discharge them past 20% and if u do leave them somewhat charged it should be at storage charge. 30% is sufficient

Dude you didnt get the question. In P4 series you could choose after how many days, discharging would kick-in. I usually had 3 days. My question was, that I could not find this option for the Mavic Air and I have noticed that after several days, the batteries did not get discharged. So now I understood that you cannot change this parameter for the air and that it takes 10 days for the discharge to take place.

Unfortunately, these newer DJI drones like the Spark and the Mavic Air have hard coded the auto discharge at 10 days.
