DJI Avata Drone Battery Capacity Issues ~ Buena Park CA

I used to really enjpoy flying my DJI Avata until it was updated with a firmware update with the Remote ID requirements from the FAA where I had to have my goggles plugged in to my smartphone and logged into DJI Fly app to get off the ground.

It flew great with the DJI Goggles V2 which I shared with the original FPV drone. It was sure a hassle to share the goggles with two different quadcopters. I ordered the DJI Goggles 2 when they were available seperately instead of a package with the drone alone when I first bought it. Then came the dreaded firmware update and the Remote ID error issues in the app. I watched quite a few videos online with other pilots were having the same issues. It ended up being the DJI product that I did not want to fly too often due to having to be plugged in to my iPhone and hsve the DJI Fly app open.

What did I do? When the Goggles Integra Motion Combo came out and had yet another new set of DJI FPV Goggles 2 Integra that no longer required them to be plugged in to the smartphone. I wouldn't know becuase I ended up binding these with my Mini 3 Pro instead which is kinda cool in combination with the new Motion Controller (2?) with the new trigger and features. I have not bothered to try this setup on the Avata yet as I still have it paired with the Mini 3 Pro.

What is this latest video about? Now my battery capacity not updated for extended period. I had to run down all 4 of my batteries to 10%. Land. Let them sit for 30 minutes. Charge them and then let them rest again for 30 minutes. Then use them. That's what I was doing here. I had to override the Return to Home when I hit 20% due to low battery. I got 3 batteries that accepted the update and one that I will have to do again because it didn't work.

My flights here were just trying run the battery down, flying low, flying in Sport Mode and just goofing around. ~ William Flying39
