Awesome video!! Thanks so much. You saved me from buying a new battery. Apparently my battery was updating before a flight and I didn’t realize it, so when I removed it from my Mavic 2 Zoom, it was flashing 2 lights and wouldn’t do anything else. So I decided to look on KZbin and voila... I found this video. Thanks again!

I was looking at the Powerextra Mavic batteries and some reviews said there's occasionally an incompatible firmware issue that requires DJI Assistant updates. I didn't really understand it from the reviews but this video made it completely clear. So I ordered them. Two for $115 is tough to pass up since I love flying a lot. I fly for the sake of flying even if I don't record anything. Thanks for the confidence boost that saved me some money ;)

I have the same issue on my DJI Mavic air battery. I will do the same process and see if it works. So far none of my batteries for the mavic pro have any issues at all except for the left front props for some reason hitting the body of the drone and crashed here in Manila, Philippines while on vacation. I don't know what's causing it. No pilot error. Only flew it a couple of times and the damn thing just went sideways and landed on top of a convenience store. I had a phantom 3, spark, air and pro and never crashed one til now with the Mavic Pro.

I bought a second hand battery off of the internet, with this problem. Except when it arrived the board was 100% dead, would not charge either from the dji hub. The battery I bought as a project for £15 the previous owner had hacked the battery out of the box. We charged the battery directly from a large volt. / amp controllable power supply. The hardware holds a full charge. The board no lights. Now you have. A thick red and black power cable to the cells and four telemetry lines three red one black. All can be disconnected. However upon cutting the red / black and disconnecting the telemetry the error reverts back to the guy in the video. I suspect even when "fully " discharged the main board is holding its memory, there is no on board battery but 4x buck converters and two surface mount pic controllers. Somehow you need to fully discharge the battery. Th mavic to battery connector can read zero volts but the battery to board lines can be at 12 volts, th board controls the output to the mavic. So now I am going to do the firmware upgrade, before my mavic battery mod project begins :-) good luck!

Some months ago the battery "A" start to appear an error message on control and also on app, when I try to charge it, it doesn't charge properly. Months ago I solve the problem updating the firmware, but at this time it doesn't work anymore. I already downgrade the firmware, reset to factory settings, update the firmware again, but it doesn't fix the problem. I suppose that the battery goes to the space and I will need to buy a new one. In Brazil, nothing works well, so, I can't contact DJI because they will not help me. Thanks for your video.

I feel that I’m fighting a loosing battle! I had another support guy email me with the same answer as the first guy! What niggles me is. Two batteries in eleven months faulty with Cell broken, what ever that means, and only 10 minutes flying time total!!! No hard landings or crashes or any sign of damage! It’s down to bad quality and workmanship that’s what pees me off! “It’s beyond my control” Glen, and they won’t admit it! They will be sending me a form to me to fill out on how they handled my case! Well it won’t be nice what I put on that form!! I really feel I’m being Ripped off! The drone won’t be a year old until 12 June! Anyway Glen will let you know of the outcome buddy!

I would try a different battery to see if the Mavic will power up with it. You may have an issue with the Mavic. You could also try installing the battery with and without the USB cable plugged into the Mavic to see if there is any change. I wish I had a better answer for you but I personally haven’t experienced that. Let me know if you get it working and how you fixed it. Thanks for watching 🙂.

Well at least at this point your worst case senecio is a dead battery rather than a problem with the Mavic itself. Definitely let me know if you get this fixed. Thanks again for taking the time to comment 🙂!

Had the same problem with a fresh from the box never flown Mavic and battery. Sadly, this procedure didn't work for me - the battery is still in the two-middle-lights state. Working with DJI on getting a replacement. (Their customer support is ridiculous - they want multiple images, screen shots, and even a short movie showing the problem. Given how widespread the issue is, all of that constitutes an unnecessary PITA - just replace the freaking battery already, sheesh.)

+J Lawrence Buell iv Wow, what a bummer! Sorry to hear that happened. I've heard a bit about their customer service being difficult. Did you get any extra batteries or was that your only one?
@FromJustJ
@FromJustJ 6 жыл бұрын
I bought the Fly More combo, and a spare battery besides, so I was still able to go flying. DJI's customer service is trying to be helpful but the process is ludicrous. Now that they have my images and the videos, they agree that I qualify for a replacement. But rather than send me a new battery and a label to use to return the bad one in that box, I have to fill out a very detailed Word document they provided and send that in with proof of purchase (in spite of having provided proof of purchase with the original ticket). Unquestionably the most cumbersome defective product return process I have ever run into.

Geeezzz, what a hassle! I hope I never have to deal with warranty! Glad you had a extra battery though, would have been a real disappointment to have to wait to fly it. It would be nice if the sent the new one first with a return label for the original battery like a lot of other place do.

I just got the Mavic Pro Fly more combo and charged all the batteries. I did everything like your supposed to. I flew all three batteries after they were charged. I went to charge them all again and one battery would not come back on or take a charge. No lights on it nothing just like it was dead. The batteries were not dropped or were ever crashed right out of the box. Just one flight and dead. I've let DJI know so it is in the process. I'm wondering if that is a firmware issue. I'm just trying to get all the info I can about this problem that I'm having. Not sure it will help my problem but maybe somebody watching can help. BTW, Great job on your video.

plutonium235 Sorry to hear that. I wouldn’t think it’s a firmware issue, sounds more like a failed battery. Hopefully they take care of it for you. Good thing you got the fly more combo, I’ve heard they take some time to replace them. Thanks for watching 🙂
