By introducing the self-discharge law of DJI intelligent flying battery, we know that the battery will naturally discharge (passive self-discharge) when stored. When the battery naturally discharges to a low enough level (generally 10%), it needs to be recharged to restore the energy storage state of the battery. If the battery continues to discharge below 10%, it will be overdischarged (overdischarge), which will damage the electrode active material and lose its response ability. If the battery is discharged excessively for a long time, it will cause permanent loss to the battery, and in severe cases, it will damage the battery, resulting in the battery being unusable.
How to avoid "excessive release"
When the battery is turned off for storage, it will consume electricity at a very low speed, which is the characteristic of lithium batteries. The problem of over-discharge will occur if the battery is stored continuously when the battery power is very low. In order to maintain the activity of the battery and prolong its service life, it is recommended that you charge the battery to 40-65% and store it in a cool and dry environment (22-28 degrees Celsius is the best) when you don't use the battery for more than 10 days, and charge and discharge it at least once every three months. After the battery is fully charged, it will be installed in the aircraft and stored after the power consumption reaches 65%.
* Full charge and discharge means that the aircraft battery is fully charged, then it is installed on the aircraft to start, without taking off, and then fully charged when the last power indicator light flashes, and then it is installed on the aircraft for storage after the power reaches 65%.
How to maintain the battery
1. When the battery is not used for more than 10 days, please discharge the battery to 40%-65% (that is, when the Three Lamps District of the battery is on or flashing) and store it;
2. Charge and discharge the battery once every 3 months or so to keep the battery active, which can prolong the service life of the battery. If it is left empty for a long time, it may lead to battery over-discharge damage;
3. Be sure to store the smart flying battery in a ventilated and dry place;
4. If the battery is seriously insufficient and idle for too long, the battery will enter deep sleep mode and need to be charged to wake it up from deep sleep;
After the flight, be sure to wait for the battery to cool before charging. Charging at high temperature may damage the battery.
