DJI Two Mini 2/SE Intelligent Flight Batteries

Product Information

The availability of 60fps at 1080P is appreciated but included with both drones, so doesn’t make it as a distinguishing feature. If it’s not your battery then it’s a problem with other parts of the drone. Our first suspect would be the power button.

There are essentially two methods to charge your Mini 2 battery. You can either charge it via the drone or by using the 2-way DJImini 2battery charger aka the charging hub. 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. For a more accurate reading of your battery level, you will have to turn your Mavic Mini 2 ON and connect it to your Fly App. Many drones have so-called “intelligent Flight Batteries,” including DJI’s pricier models, and these benefit from built-in one-press charge meters. As it happens, the firm ditched this approach with the original Mini, opting instead to put the meter part of the airframe instead. The Mini 2 retains this approach with very similar (but technically different and not compatible) batteries. In both cases there is a button on the bottom of the drone, next to four white LEDs. These provide a crude histogram of remaining battery strength, or a ‘charging’ animation, for the battery in the drone – so nearly as good as one on the battery, but simpler and cheaper to make. Bought a Mini 2 on the day it was announced, fully charged all the batteries and flew them the next day - down to around 60-70% for storage. Having had lots of DJI drones over the years and having read the plethora of threads and opinions on battery storage, that's what I generally do. Haven't flown it since Nov for a variety of reasons. Pulled out the MM2 battery hub today and noticed that all the batteries have only one solid LED when I hit the power button. I've read the manual and most of the battery threads in these forums, but maybe I missed something.

This isn’t an area you’ll see a lot of differentiation between these drones for obvious reasons, but examining things closely yields a few differences. For one thing the 4K camera on the Mini 2 has a nice shiny trim and just above it is a light which can change hue to indicate different situations.

Fortunately, you don’t have to do anything special as the Intelligent Flight Battery takes care of this issue for you. As ever with DJI drones, there is a strong argument in favor of the ‘Fly More’ kit, offering extra batteries and a case. Realistically though this is pretty tough for a drone, you won’t want it bouncing lose in a bag so if you’re not opting for DJI’s form-fitted cases then make sure you find something to protect it. Neither drone has a world-beating camera. They’re both great, and do a more than adequate job of adjusting their white balance and exposure in automatic mode, but both also benefit from a little bit of planning on the part of the operator: keep the light behind you, do take advantage of manual exposure when you’re doing something the camera’s programming doesn’t seem to understand.A hard crash can also break delicate parts of your drone like the arms, motor mounts, or propellers. In that case, you will need parts replacement and DJI is the best source to get them. Electronic bug or software glitch Firstly, you need to remove your battery from the drone. This is done by using the battery clamps on the side of the drone. Again, make sure your drone isn’t on. Is it safe to store the MM2 batteries in the hub (no charger connected), or will it discharge the batteries over time?Couldn't find any reference in the hub manual. You start off by attaching your USB charging cable to a power adapter. The adapter is plugged into an AC power supply that’s rated for 100-240 V and 50-60 Hz.

On both the drone and the charging hub, there are arrays of 4 LEDs, each indicating a 25% charge status. DJI Mavic Mini 2 hub charger LED status First, clean the battery terminals with the cotton swab soaked in cleaning alcohol. Make sure to clean any and all debris, dirt any foreign objects. You can charge a DJI Mini 2 with any charger that has a USB port and an output of at least 15W. This means most power adapters that come with other electronic devices are safe to use. However, it is best to use DJI’s 18W USB charger to ensure the battery’s longevity. Always fly safe and avoid any crashes to prevent any physical damage to your batteries. If that happens, immediately replace the damaged batteries.AUTO DISCHARGE: Its auto-discharge function makes sure the battery is self discharged to below 70% when stored for a long time. While you might find third-party batteries that claim to be compatible with the Mini 2 SE, I would advise you against using them. While flying, your drone can crash and get dirt and dust in the battery compartment. This affects the connection between the battery and the compartment terminals.

Also, never insert your battery inside the drone when the battery is turned on. The battery is too cold Send an Online Repair Request to DJI and mail them your Intelligent Flight Battery. Short-circuiting Again, a simple but common mistake on part of new users. If you are trying to fly a drone with a fully drained battery, the drone will simply not turn on.You can use the charging hub to charge all 3 batteries overnight.
