Hey team - DJI have released a firmware fix for this issue - check out my update video here https://youtu.be/u2px0BHOH2s

OMG thankyou! just bought the Mini 2 and didn't know about the inability to discharge when left in the charger or drone!
-
used to this already due to flying fpv quads with non smart lipo batteries. Was actually suprised the DJI batteries discharge themselves to storage levels which is pretty convenient. Nice to know they need to be out of the charger to do this I did not know that.
-
I love how you made me stop my semi truck to pause right away and pull my batteries from the charging hub and drone! I felt inside of me that it was probably not a good idea, thank you!!!!! Hahahahaha awesome
-
Haven't used mine in 3 months and they discharged and went into hibernation. They were stored in the hub. But after learning about this I'll start leaving them like that to be safe. Thanks for this video. Keep on top of firmware updates for older batteries.
-
Instead of turning around the batteries in the hub, I bought a small Lipo battery storage bag. Allows auto discharge and small enough to fit inside Mini 2 bag. Bag is fireproof so useful for airline holiday flights when we eventually get back to normal holidays!
-
I was in a panic when I watched this video but then I discovered that the batteries do actually discharge on their own while in the charging hub. All my batteries have dropped to 70% in a week after fully charged. It’s possible that DJI made some changes since you released this video. But thanks for bringing this to my attention
-
My mini 2 just arrived today and the first thing I did was charge all the batteries in prep for tomorrow’s maiden flight. Jumped into bed, watched this video then proceeded to remove all the batteries from the hub. Glad I found this video. 😁
-
Thanks for the tip. I am waiting on my Mini 2 fly more kit now. This will really help me out. Thanks for making this video; so glad I ran across it.

1. Don't store your batteries in the charging hub or the drone 2. You can use Mini 2 and Mini batteries in each drone, BUT the Mini 2 with a Mini battery will NOT be less than 249 grams because the battery is heavier 3.Use the hub to charge something like your phone to discharge the batteries to between 50-60% as recommended by DJI for storage until you charge for use 4. Mini batteries are a bit cheaper to purchase spares for either.
-
Very cool info. I’ve heard this on a couple other channels but it wasn’t explained in this way. Nicely done. New sub here. Lol. God bless and stay safe. Kevin
-
This was a really great video. I had an old DJI drone (Phantom 2) years ago and the batteries were such an issue. I just got a Mini SE so very grateful to stumble across this. Thank you!
-
A perfect and very very useful video!! Very good explained and funny at the waiting part! This tip can save my mini 2! I think you have deserved waaaay more subscribers!
-
very well explained video, and not dull either. Great job!
-
Excellent content and delivery by you! I like the way you support your statements with external references to other sources of information. Thanks for the great information and keep up the good work!
-
Caught this as a recommended video but I never leave batteries plugged into a charger because I've always felt this could cause a problem. This explains why my feelings were correct :) It also explains why the batteries are never full when I go to fly after a while. Thank you! Useful hints here.
-
Glad I stumbled across this 3 days after getting my DJI Mini SE with Fly more kit! Today's the first day I'm not using it. Thanks! You'd think they'd be able to put this in the manual.
-
I have seen this tip before and tested my three batteries by charging and then leaving in the hub. Results is each battery discharges 2% per 24 hours so I am confident my batteries will stay in good shape still leaving in the hub. Some may be having firmware issues..
-
Thanks a lot for this! This is something that should be mentioned in the store for first time DJI drone buyers (and previous owners who never read the manual).
-
your videos helped me get off the ground in minutes, not crash, and really enjoy the product. Thanks!
