Used the DJI multi charger to charge the batteries (not the first time by the way) each time I do this i cant get the batteries to charge to 100.

each time, straight from the charger, they reach between 96-98 when I power on the quad,

My Mavic Pro has no issues charging to 100.

PS the batteries are brand new with only a handful of charges on them.

I think mine do the same thing, might be normal for a Mavic Mini.

Same, often if I want peak battery I'll charge the last few % in the mini itself. That's the only way I've gotten 100%, otherwise 95% is standard.

I tried that, it didnt start charging in the Mini.

Come on DJI this isnt a toy quad, its battery should charge to the full amount, you say 30 minute flight, even just gently flying around i cant get past 27 minutes of flight, maybe because the batteries dont fully charge.

I get 96-98 out of the charger.  However, if I put it in the MM and continue to charge it does reach 100%.  No idea as to why this happens, just does and at least I have a work around.

The battery percentage of charge is an estimated value, there is no actual way of measuring it, other than calculating the value using the charge/discharge quantity and time. And for 'crach1sttime', yes, it is a toy.

A cheaper toy.

The cheerson c10 and the syma are toys, something i wouldnt care to lose to a tree, but at £360 sorry its not a toy

That said I think i have the issue sorted, I charged the battery in the mini using a standard 5v 2A plug and it charged to 100, im thinking the fast charge has something to do with it.

Nope, the Mini is still a toy, just not a cheap one.

An intelligent charger, if it really is, when it reaches the end of recharging, further reduces the charge rate. This way the battery can charge 100% of mAh.

It's like trying to fill a glass of water. For it to be well filled, the flow must be reduced. With a too powerful flow, we must stop before the glass overflows and thus, the glass is not completely filled.
Cheers !
