Battery Fail - Mavic Pro

Left the ground on 90% charge, within a minute the craft was auto landing on critical battery, having luckily just cleared some trees. Landed on 0%, but clearly wasn’t really 0% it landed properly and didn’t fall, and the camera FPV remained funcitoning throughout while on ground.

The link for the flight is here:

Think this was the last flight for this battery!

Thanks

This battery shows 86 charge cycles, meaning it has received the equivalent of 86 full charges from 0% to 100%. Since batteries are rarely charged from completely empty to completely full, it has likely been charged far more than 86 times.

In short, this battery has seen quite a bit of use and may need to be replaced. If you decide to fly with it again, I’d keep the drone close and fly somewhere it can be landed safely and quickly if needed.

The cell voltage in all three battery cells fell below 3.0 volts. Any time an individual cell falls below 3.0 volts, the drone performs a forced landing. You battery’s health appears to be poor.
