DJI Two Mini 2/SE Intelligent Flight Batteries

Product Information

DJI recommends charging the Mini 2 Intelligent Flight battery at 5 to 40 degrees Celsius or 41 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once your battery is out of hibernation, put it in your drone and turn it ON. If hibernation was the issue, it should turn ON now. Battery terminals & compartment is dirty If you are charging your Mini 2 battery inside the drone, it will take approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes to fully charge with an 18-watt charger. There's also been no suggestion that the batteries of other DJI drones, like the new DJI Air 2S, have any auto-discharge issues. The mid-range Air 2S uses a completely different battery to DJI's smaller drones, so this is solely an issue for the Mini 2. Always store your batteries inside the drone or the charging hub so that they can self discharge properly to normal voltage range. You’ll always know precisely how much battery the Mini 2 SE has with the included DJI Intelligent Battery Management System.Go to “Firmware Update” on the left-hand panel, and you will see all the firmware available for your Mini 2. If your battery doesn’t charge, you won’t see any LED lights when you plug in the Mini 2 Intelligent Flight Battery to the Type-C charging cable. If you’ve seen other Mavic-series controllers (except the Mavic Air 2), you’ll be familiar with the form factor. The phone is gripped from the ends by fold out arms beneath the joypad-sized body, the connection cable dangles on the left and pokes through the arm, and your phone live view screen is beneath the fold out antenna and body. In other words, the new one is a touch better, but both are high quality remote controls which are more than adequate for the task. You have to clean both the battery terminals and the compartment with isopropyl alcohol. Follow the below steps: Not a lot of variance between the Mini 2 and its predecessor when it comes to the design. Some of the measurements seem to be 1mm different to their counterparts, but the crucial take-off weight remains the same (the drone itself is an even more slight 242g). We also know both devices use a good number of the same accessories, which begs the question “Have the sizes changed, or the person rounding the measurements?”.

If you own a DJI Mini 2, now would be a good time to drop whatever you’re doing and grab this critical firmware update. DJI has finally released a fix for the issue where some Mini 2 users’ intelligent batteries were not auto-discharging when left inside the drone or in the charging hub. Wait, what’s the issue? When DJI ship your drone, the batteries are put in a special sleep mode called ‘hibernation’. Before you can use your battery, you have to ‘wake them up’. If you are storing your drone for a long period (maybe you are going out of town for a month), all you have to do is put your battery inside the drone or the two-way charging hub after charging them to 100%. Another way to shorten the charging process is to use a parallel charger (instead of DJI’s charging hub) to allow simultaneous charging. You can find one linked here.

Allow me to touch on what that means, as it’s integral for a long-lasting battery. Always fly safe and avoid any crashes to prevent any physical damage to your batteries. If that happens, immediately replace the damaged batteries.

b. Enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the mobile device, launch the DJI Fly app, and there will be a prompt to connect to the aircraft. Under the video heading, the Mini 2 has a very distinct advantage if 4K is of use to you. It is worth stopping to think whether it is; if you’re producing for YouTube you’d be surprised how few viewers switch up to 4K, for example, and plenty of screens are small enough that it’s hard to justify the server load. If you can run to it, we’d suggest that the Mini 2 is the better choice, featuring as it does a good bit more flexibility when it comes to stills and video, not to mention a bit more straight-line speed. If you’re in a few countries, like the UK, DJI has even spared you the effort of making that decision by failing to release the Mini SE where you can buy it. However, if the drone shows some lights but won’t fully turn on, you might be able to connect it with your PC and refresh or update the firmware. This will reset the drone.

If only the third LED light blinks three times a second, the Intelligent Flight Battery’s over-voltage charger is active, so a voltage issue is likely. If only the fourth LED light blinks two times a second, the Intelligent Flight Battery is charging at an excessively low temperature. The DJI Mini 2, therefore, came with the newer LiPo battery cells and achieved an astounding weight reduction to just 237g.
