What’s the life cycle of the DJI battery ?

What’s is the life cycle of DJi batteries ? I’ve heard is 100 but not sure how true is that.

Depends on how well you take care of those batteries!

How do you look after your batteries ?

Basically don't charge them to 100% not to use them and don't fly at less than 10%. If you know you won't be using batteries for a long time then charge them to around 50-60% and leave it. Keep them in a cool dry place.

Also look out for any swelling as it may indicate that the battery is no longer working well.

Seems I maintain them differently. I believe they need to be charged at 100% if you want to leave them for a while. They do discharge automatically at 50-60%.

If no used in a month. They should be charged again.

Charge them fully before you fly and yes, don’t fly below 10%.

I usually bring the drone back when it’s at 30% or 20%

There was quite a bit of info on the A2 course I took on batteries. I'll dig up the info on there and share on here as it's been a while and can't remember exactly.

I believe that’s what DJi have recommended. I’ll have to dig again for some info.

Just checked one of the slides from the course and they recommend that if you won't plan to fly for a while to keep batteries at between 40% and 50% of fll capacity. If you have a full battery that won't use, they recommend to drain it.

Here's the slide (in Portuguese)

Mmmm, it will be really hard to keep them at that level after flight, as usual I charge them fully and then store them.

Have you checked how many cycles your battery has ?
