Better way to charge DJI batteries

    Ever wonder how you could achieve the perfect storage voltage on your DJI battery? Here is a simple, cost-effective solution to charge your DJI batteries perfectly to storage voltage:

    Better Way to Charge Your DJI Batteries! [4K]

    Note: Warning

    I have done my best to ensure there are no mistakes made on this page. Please use common sense and verify settings before testing this out. I always test the charge leads once I get them with my multimeter to ensure I am seeing the voltage that I expect. Sure the charger has some built-in safety features, but I want to make sure I’m seeing the expected voltage. This means that the pins are correct on the cable.

    The charger in the video is the Imax B6 V2 AC. It has a charge limit of 50W and a discharge limit of 5W. I picked up the Hota D6+ (not the D6 or D6pro, look for the important difference before buying) for my LiPo/LiHV crazed life, and it will charge up to 300W on AC and 700W on DC!!! It does require XT60 battery plugs so keep that in mind. The same rules apply as mentioned in the video.

    The dischargers mentioned were the ISDT FD-100 and ISDT FD-200. The 200 has Bluetooth so you can change the storage voltage setting for example.

    Here’s the settings you will need:

    Mavic 2 Pro & Zoom

    Chemistry: LiHV
    Number of cells: 4 (select 4S – 15.2V)
    Max Charge rate: 3.8A (you would need a charger that does 60Watt to charge at this rate)

    1. Felix, I’m very new to the drone scene and wanted to say thank you so much! Because of your reviews ,I’m a very satisfied Mavic Air 2 owner,and am learning so much through your reviews,tips and tutorials!! I have so many questions though and am trying to figure out best way to contact you.( I watch your reviews, read the comments but have figured out how to reply or submit my own comments.) I will figure it out- I plan on flying as a hobbyist for years to come. I am FAA certified and am starting my part 107 training. Again, thank you for all your guidance! Keep up the great work! JP

      • Hey Joe, thanks for writing! On YouTube they changed how you access the comments on the mobile versions, you just have to tap the one comment you see when u scroll down a bit and then at the top you can write your own comment. On the PC it’s easier, you just scroll down to under the video and the comments should appear. Also here at the top you can comment. Enjoy the Mavic Air 2!

    2. Re; “Better way to charge DJI batteries” and discharge. Thanks. I am looking for a good resource for the Mavic 2 Pro & Zoom Charge Lead.
      Your link goes to an Amazon page that look like the part I need, but the Charge Lead products either have very poor ratings or no ratings at all.
      I don’t want to wait for the slow boat from China show up and not be the right part. Any “legitimate” suggestions? again, thanks for the video..
