5 things to kill your DJI Mavic battery

Mavic Pro battery

The Mavic Pro is an incredibly popular foldable drone from DJI. In this article we’re going to go over Mavic battery.

DJI claims it can power the Mavic Pro for up to 27 minutes under ideal conditions. In my field tests, which combined high-altitude flying on a breezy day, some low-altitude testing of the obstacle avoidance system, and a few jaunts across a football field in the high-speed Sport mode, all while rolling footage at 4K resolution, I netted 23 minutes of flight time by utilizing 90 percent of a fully charged battery. Recharging takes about an hour, and spare batteries are priced at $89. If you think you’re going to get a couple of spares, consider the Fly More bundle—priced at $1,299, it includes two extra batteries, ten propellers, and a carrying case.

Scan Amazon.com for feedback from Mavic Pro battery buyers to discover reviews like “For the size these batteries are great. So far I have 5 of them and so far all work as well as they did the day I got them (all have about 50 cycles on them so far). The Mavic is a fantastic drone and these battery provide great flight time in a small package.”

The Intelligent Flight Battery for Mavic Pro from DJI has its own integrated battery-management system that takes into account everything from remaining voltage, amount of power being used, temperature, and more to calculate remaining flight times, so you always know when to head home. It also has a host of protection mechanisms in place to prevent overcharging and over draining, both of which can damage a LiPo battery permanently. When placed in longer term storage, LiPo batteries should only be kept at 50% charge. Any more or less could cause permanent damage. If left unused, DJI Intelligent Flight Batteries will discharge power until 50% to maintain good health.
