DJI Air 2S - Avoid Swollen Batteries

Some points I want to add. You don’t want to quickly cool the batteries by blowing cold air from an air conditioner, placed in refrigerator for short amount of time, etc.. Doing this can cause condensation and damage from a fast temperature change. You should also avoid flying to low battery. As the voltage gets lower the battery has to increase current which just increases wear and temperature.

A little late with my comment… but I recently saw a comment that you shouldn’t store your battery in the drone when not in use. I believe the person said it won’t auto discharge or something. Is there any accuracy to this?

[@DroneFate]

Well it does discharge after around 8/9 days to 60% if they’ve not been used & just kept at 100% but not something i’s recommend

Hi! I just recently bought my new DJI Air 2s. As for my batteries, I'm just curious why my battery is only at 4.10v something when fully charged and also the rest of my batteries, isn't it supposed to be at 4.20v because it's still new? And I only have 2 cycles.

[@DroneFate]

It depends as it changes when it’s operational or just still as well as the outside temperature

[@keanhls]

@@DroneFate Wait, I'm kind of confused. So you're telling me that my battery voltage would still change? Actually, I already depleted 3 of my new batteries down to 10% and when I got it all full charged again, 2 of them are 4.14V and the last one is only 4.17V max. Supposedly, it should be 4.25V when fully charged. And my battery cycles are only just 4 and the rest are 2. They are really fresh because I just purchased DJI AIR 2s FMC like 6 days ago. So I thought 3 of my batteries are defective.

[@sungyle]

now that we know about discharging the battery, what about charging them back up? Say for whatever reasons, we can't fly for a long time (rain, rain, rain; or illness) How often are we supposed to do that? Every month? Every 3 months? 6 months? May be you can do another video to help us. Thank you very much.

[@jaycarl1562]

Every 3 months charge to 100%, discharge to 25% within 24 hours, charge back up for storage to 60% within 48 hours. If your a hobbyist, its a good reason to fly.

[@kennyw871]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but dji "Smart" batteries auto discharge to ~60% in a matter of days.

[@DroneFate]

Yes they do, i think it’s 8/9 if i’m not mistaken

[@Milind_n]

Hi two of My Air 2S are slightly swollen(minor) , any suggestions / solutions

[@DroneFate]

If it’s swollen, dispose them as they could get worse during a flight & cause damage to the drone; make sure to remove the battery after each flight & let it cool for around 10-15 mins in shade before putting it in the bag

[@Milind_n]

@@DroneFate sure thanks!

[@westcoastphotos.ireland3038]

Great advice, so many people seem intent on running the battery to zero, your approach is way more sensible, thanks. Do the dji batteries auto discharge to a safe level when stored like the parrot anafi ones do?

[@DroneFate]

Thank you for watching! Air 2 & air 2s do auto discharge to 96% in 1 day, 60% if idle for 5 days, the mavic 2 has options for the pilot to do it

[@westcoastphotos.ireland3038]

@@DroneFate thanks for the info, looking forward to more videos, take care, regards steve

[@edwincordero8]

If the battery is swollen, what can i do?

[@DroneFate]

Dispose it, you need to get a new one

[@edwincordero8]

@@DroneFate Got it. Thanks

[@CaminoAir]

Thank you. Not the first time that clicking on one of your videos provided me with very important advice.

[@DroneFate]

That’s kind of you, thanks for watching! If you have any more questions you can msg me on ig @dronefate

[@WaqasKhan-kw2bx]

Thanks for the tip

[@DroneFate]

Thank for you taking the time to comment, appreciate it

[@IkonicLionProductions]

Already had 3 bloated batteries. Time to prevent that happening on the news ones. Cheers!

[@Milind_n]

Can we turn off auto discharge on Air 2S?

[@DroneFate]

For now no. It would auto discharge to 60% on 5 days and after a recent update it’s now 9 days

[@rotorfpv4117]

​ @Drone Fate Are you right? These battery must be in a drone? If this option is on (auto discharge) must I down voltage myself (powerbank)?

[@DroneFate]

@@rotorfpv4117 the battery does auto discharge by itself after 9 days

[@rotorfpv4117]

@@DroneFate ant this discharging is enough ?

[@DroneFate]

Thanks good advice.

Good advice! 👍

[@flexable222]

WHT abt letting the ac cool dem dwn

[@DroneFate]

Just leave it in shade for about 15 mins, you don’t want extremely cold air cooling down something so hot right away

[@IkonicLionProductions]

Great tips. 👍🏾

[@anhonestreviewer7015]

It makes sense, though most drone owners won’t bother to do that until it’s too late.

[@DroneFate]

Let’s hope more get aware of this!

[@macbook802]

I hang everything from my rear view mirror with the ac blowing full cold on everything

[@chanelledimarco7058]

Excellent
