Battery life

Hi, I’m a beginner so please take it easy on me. Lol. I am wondering if I might have gotten bad batteries. Is it common for your batteries to not hold a charge? Mine are always low if they sit just a week or so and when I change them it takes forever to fully charge.

Here are some key notes from the Air 3 manual:

  • Auto-Discharging Function: to prevent swelling, the battery automatically discharges to 96% of the battery level when it is idle for three days, and automatically discharges to 60% of the battery level when it is idle for nine days. It is normal to feel moderate heat being emitted from the battery during the discharging process.

  • It is recommended to use the charging devices provided by DJI, such as the DJI Air 3 Battery Charging Hub, DJI 100W USB-C Power Adapter, DJI 65W Portable Charger, or other USB Power Delivery chargers.

    Note: The Yx parallel battery charger is a well-known high quality 3rd party option.

See singers comment. Keeping the batteries fully charged wears on their life span. They automatically discharge. Just recharge before you go out to fly.
