This actually works, I just slipped mine into a mavic zoom for a few seconds then into original charging dock and boom now getting green flashing lights from the charger.
My batteries were in a state of no light whatsoever.
Cheers mate
Wow that is a nice trick! I didn't know they both had the same connector. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I'm going to have to try this again. I originally charged all 3 in my hub when I first got my MA2. Everything was fine. They all worked. Now, this past weekend I go to fly and only 2 of 3 batteries were working. The "bad" battery won't light up, won't charge, and won't turn on. I did put it back in my drone and tried to power it up, but nothing. I immediately put it on the single charger without the hub and it still didn't light up or charge. I have an open ticket with DJI but I don't want to pay $65 just for them to look at it and tell me that I need to buy a new battery. I'm going to try this after work today.
@@Michael_N9253N did it work? I'm having this problem
@@Marksman1011 i have the same problem with one of my batteries too
Excellent research Otto congratulations. That happen to me sometime ago with one Mavic Air Battery, and I start playing around and place the battery on the drone and switch on and off a few time then back on the charger and start charging. Happen me a few time with the same battery, but when is charged work perfect. That mean something little is missing.
excellent! It should only happen once when the battery arrives brand new
Thank you! All 3 of my batteries (new out of the box) were "dead"...plugging them into the charger directly did the trick!
Excellent! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thank you!!! I have the first Mavic Pro and The second solution just worked for me!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
wow that's great news!! I'm so glad it worked on the Mavic Pro as well!
😎👌🏻 thank you for the tip!!!
You bet! Thank you for your comment!! 😊
Hello Otto, I have Mavic Air drone since 3 years, the last few months I couldnt fly it much, but later I had some flights. But at the last flight, two of the batteries gave me "low voltage" warning and drone hovered down to the ground.I think they went in to sleeping mode or what? They dont charge in this way too in your video. What can I do?
So sorry about this. Inside the app you can check the health of your batteries. Take a look there, they might be damaged. I would try to also charge them and discharge them a few times and see if there is any improvement
Amazing! Thank you! Second option worked for me!
Great! Thanks Eduardo!!
Brooooooooo love youuu sooo muchhhhhh, you solved my problem❤❤❤❤, May GOD bless you❤❤
Heeey There! Awesome news!!!
I just bought a used fly-more for a ridiculous price of of £680, considering stated never used. Batteries wouldn't charge. Looks like the seller couldn't get them to charge (probably used multi-charger) - they wouldn't charge with single or multi-charger when I received it through the post. Tried this and it is the only think that worked. All three have charged and showing 'times charged' = 1 on each of them. Happy days and a big thank-you; I was considering returning it to seller, until I tried this 🙂👍
Wow that's great news!!! Great price you got there, for a new open-box drone! You are welcome!!
@@OttoJulian_ I'm so glad I found your advice. Very much appreciated. Subbed your channel
@@retrodudefpv HEY! I WANT MY DRONE BACK!!!! hahaha jk
I had the exact same problem. I'm going to have to try this. Thanks!!!
Good luck!
Hey, I've got a brand new mavic Air 2 battery that i flew once, charged next to my other 2 batteries on the hub, and now the new one shows no lights on the battery and the hub shows red light (other 2 batteries are fine)- is there a fix for this yet?
hi, is the "new one" the one that you used to fly the drone? or is it actually a new one that you haven't used
Thanks! The second thing worked! Appreciate the help!
Excellent news! Thanks for sharing
What about storage ? Is there a discharge charger available or do we have to keep draining the battery to 60%-70% and then store it ?
most of the time if I don't use them for a certain period of time, I find them at around 70%. When I want to store them at around 60 I just charge them AFTER using them and pay attention to stop charging them around that %
I had the combo with one battery that blinked on the second light and never went on. I just plugged it directly into the single charger and it worked. Had the combo pack for 13 months and never had that problem until now.
Hello Rich! Yeah that's very unusual, but I'm glad that it has been fixed now
Had the same issue today. Did a real estate job fine a few days ago, batts at 35%. 1 of 3 wouldn't charge. 2nd option worked. Odd...
Hey I own mavic 2 zoom and one my battery is not charging when I put it in the charger it shows red light in the charger so what should I do??
Hi Raja, is the battery new?
Thank you so much ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
thanks 😃
Hope it helped!!
Hello, something strange is happening to my battery, when the battery ran out, a green led turned on, like any Mavic Air 2 battery, but the green led is supposed to turn off. But in my case it stayed on and does not turn off, I put it to charge and now it has the 4 green dots on and they are not paid, do you know what it could be???
The 4 green lights are on ?
@@OttoJulian_ yes
This works what, thank you!
Excellent news
Yes, it did!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Glad it worked!!!
Which drone do you have?
Hey this really works. I was scared for a second that my battery was dead but now it is working again 👍🏻
glad it worked. Which drone do you have?
I have the DJI Air 2S
OK thanks for letting me and others know!
Hey how long did it take to turn green on the battery ?
This help a lot
Hello! Thanks for sharing
Hey, I was wondering if I charge the battery using the hub, but then the red light indicator is turned on. Does that mean the hub doesn't detect the battery?
if it's the first time charging the battery I suggest connecting it directly to the charger and not to the hub. After the initial charge you can keep using the hub
Great video !!! It worked awesome
Great!!!
Worked thank you 🎉🎉
Awesome news! Thanks for sharing
Thanks bro its worked for me Thanks
you are welcome!!
Hi Julian! Do you know how to fix the 30074 error code?
seems like that means that the battery is damaged, according to DJI forums. You will need to replace it
Amazing, keep this up and you'll earn 100k veryyy quickly
Thank you!! That's the goal!
Man this is the same problem I’ve been saving up for the air2s and it didn’t work i tried what u said I’m genuinely so sad that this is an issue… please do you have anything that i can try?
Hi, I'm sorry about that. If you tried doing what I said and it didn't work, you should think about contacting DJI or the seller.
Just so you know, some people keep trying to do this a few times and then it works. For mental health, try at different hours. Let me know what happens or if you get a replacement
Absolute Genius
Hi Adam. Hopefully it helped you out!
Thank You soooo much
You are welcome!!
@@OttoJulian_ Would be nice if you could upload more how to fix videos. I just got the air 2s and had the battery issue. Thanks for the video!
today my two air 2s batteries fell down from the chair.. that's make something problem to the battery?
hard to tell, make sure that they are not deformed or swollen,
My batteries are discharging to about 56% after a full charge and no use for a week! What is causing that? Thanks in advance!
that's a bit too quick. They do drain over time but not that fast. anyway, the best way to store them is at around 50%
My battery on my air s2 won't turn on at all and I've already connected it to the drone and I've had it connect to the main charger for a few hours already and still nothing! Any advice?
If this happened after being able to use it in the past then it might be the battery. How long have passed since you last used it? How many flights did you have with it ?
@@OttoJulian_ I just bought it. I’ve never used it.
I see. When you place the battery on the drone try to turn it on. Be patient try a few times. Use a different outlet when using the regular charger and don’t use the hub. It took me a few tries to get my battery to respond
Love you man !
It worked? Cool!
Thanks, and please explain me why the hub not charge the 3 batteries at the same time... 😌
not sure, I guess it's DJI's design for their own reason? Overheating maybe? yeah, the hub charges one by one.
@@OttoJulian_ It’s weirdo, I have a Spark and the hub charges the 3 at the same time. A shame.
@@crop7media really? interesting. I had the first mavic air and it wouldn't charge them all at the same time. Thought it was a "dji" feature for every drone.
My own three batteries is like spoiling have been using it for two years now. How many years the battery can use before it's spoil?
you can check on the controller how many "cycles" they have. The average cycles they last are about 200 for the Air 2S. Time wise, I think they should last for about 3 years
Ohhh. It's three years now that have been using it. And is there a way to repair them?
The lifespan varies greatly depending on how well you treat your batteries. Always charge them after draining them and never run them below 20% and never store them full or empty. Store at 65% charge and they will last a long time. You can replace the lithium cells but I only recommend that if you are sure in your capabilities because opening batteries can be dangerous needless to say
IT WORKSSSSS ,YOU ARE AWESOME!!
Thank you Dan for letting us know that it worked
Work for me with a Mavic 2 Pro, no light battery, I plug the battery on the mavic and the charger a couple of time and BOOM, it’s on !
Excellent news! Thanks for sharing
Does this fix work with Mavic Air 1 batteries?
Hello Mark. I never had to do something like this with the Mavic Air 2. I guess you could give it a try
I am trying, but it's not working :(
😔😔
Hi Otto ,
My batteries are getting charged But when I insert the battery on the drone
No beep or lights 😢
Any idea how to power on ?
It was working perfectly fine these many days
What drone? Air 2?
Any solutions for same problem with dji mini se battery?
Hi, I'd try the same
Finally, My drone battery woke up again. Billion thanks.
You are welcome
What did you do?
One of my 3 DJI S2 batteries was in the bag and not in use. Yet, when I took it out of the bag, it was warm. Should I be concerned???
Thank you, I love your videos
Hello Juanita, can you share more details? Were you out? Where you home? Were you about to use that battery? Was the battery fully charged?
I actually read about this and they do state that the battery may show signs of warmth when auto discharging and is perfectly normal
I’m guessing the battery was fully charged and had entered self storage charge mode wheee the battery converts its energy to heat until it’s at storage charge (65%) this could be alarming but in all likelihood it’s fine. If this was a hobby lithium battery with out a battery management system board and it got hot I would put it on the ground and step way back
Thanks for your help
Anytime Tony!!! Glad I was able to help you out!
I just received my order air 2s combo, with smart controller . . My problem is . .my third battery is not working in my drone . . The thing is . . The drone turns on . . But when im about to fly . . . It says NON DJI BATTERY . .
that sounds like a different problem, and it would be good if you could take that battery to get it checked at a local DJI store
My battery is fully charged and the smart controller said it only had enough charge to land. Even though it was fully green charged. Any ideas?
Does it keep happening every time after you charge it? Is it the same battery or different ones ?
@@OttoJulian_ Same happens to me. batteries are full but it's getting to the 0 after "low voltage warning". and doesnt charge anymore...
It's not working even with the suggested 3min in the drone - 3min rest - then charge with normal charger - rest 3min - put in again - NOT WORKING!!! Even the new batteries I putted directly into the direct charger instead of the powerbank, it's ALLWAYS SHOWING - BATTERY IS NOT CORRECTLY CONECTED. Any help?!
Hey Markus. No need for 3 min. Place it on the drone, long press the ON button, a couple times, then remove and connect to directly to charger. Try a different outlet too. Leave battery on the charger for a few mins
@@OttoJulian_ when the drone is switched on or just putted in?
If you are inserting the battery that doesn't charge, the drone is going to be off. You insert the dead battery on the drone, long press the button of the battery (like trying to turn it on) and then remove and try to charge
@@OttoJulian_ not working! It's chargeable but able to connect proper with the drone! Thi is a common issue
Wait. Are you saying that the battery is charged, but it doesn't turn on your drone?
Nice information man! I will teach to my friends.
Congratulations from Brasil 🇧🇷
Awesome! Thank you! Hello to Brasil!
Damn!!!! If actually just worked .my drone came couple of weeks a go, charged with the hub and had this issue, tried this process countlessly and it didn't work, then I abandoned it and contacted dji the already called my back and am supposed to send it back on Monday and I just tried it again and BOOM!!! It worked
oh !!! that's great news! thanks for sharing this!
The same thing just happened to me, thats why i'm watching this video, and i did the same You did Even before watching your video, and yes it suddenly has charge again, the only difference is that i never let it died to 0% it happened at 21%, now is charching normaly apparently. Maybe whe You put it in to the drone it re starts or somenthing.
This is often used for new batteries not charging/waking up with the hub, and yeah, in some cases it appears to work on batteries that have been used already
it doesn't work, I follow your steps and still not getting any results.
😔 sorry it did work for me. Did you try another outlet
🚨 How do you hook the battery straight to the charging cable???
connect the tip that you would connect to the charging hub, directly to the battery contact. Just align the shape of the battery with the one on the cable
New Sub. I have a Mavic Air battery that is dead. I'll try it. But it is getting old
Hi Doc. Thanks for subscribing. This trick is for new batteries that can't be activated on day 1, not really a trick to revive old batteries 🙂
@@OttoJulian_ Ah, I have tried several ways, even freeze it, but the old Air 1 battery is dead. Here's a question I can't confirm. Can I use my Air2 batteries in the Air 2S ?
@@dr.dougdroneson4239 if they are dead I highly suggest to leave them like that. As for the other question, yes, the Air 2 batteries will work on the Air 2S. Actually, let me rephrase, they are exactly the same batteries
@@OttoJulian_ Now the big question. Should I add the 2S to my fleet? I have the Air 2 and Evo II. So hard to find straight opinions
@@dr.dougdroneson4239 oh wow. Yeah though question to answer. I had the Air 2 and I sold it for 2 reasons. The main one and most important for me it's the sensor size, better pictures, better video quality, etc. Everything else is pretty much the same and there are things that are not really worth an upgrade, like masterworks, more sensors, etc. If you are happy with the quality that you have now with your sensor on the Air 2, I would wait until the Mavic 3 comes out or even the Air 3. I hope this helps
Same whit me but is on mini 2 one have problems.
Not sure if this trick works with the Mini 2 batteries
I'm looking to buy one. Is anyone having issues with connectivity, lag in report, lost of altitude mainly using an android phone? Thanks,
I used an Android most of the time and there is no difference, the phone is mostly a monitor or interface but the connection is between the drone and the controller
@@OttoJulian_ Thank you,
Do you mean plugging a USB C cable in the side of the drone then into a wall plug in? I have Air 2S.
hi, no, use the regular charger but instead of connecting it to the charging hub, connect it directly to the battery
@@OttoJulian_ Yeah I see that now. Thanks for fast response and video!
Thanks for the help but it didn't work :( Anyone have any other solutions?
if you have tried these and it doesn't work you should contact DJI or your authorized seller (I'm assuming your battery is new)
i tried the drone technique but it still won’t charge on the charging cable directly
is it the Air 2 or the Air 2S?
@@OttoJulian_ air 2
I know it...something wrong with charger hub
Yeah. But only the first time you charge it
It didn't work, what could be the reason?
If you tried a few times and it doesn’t work then batteries might have an issue
@@OttoJulian_ Is there any other solution to the problem without contacting the service center?
All my 3 batteris work
Excellent!! Good to hear this!!
One of my mavic air2, battery is dead..... 😓
Did you try this?
@@OttoJulian_ i did tried many times. It wont work.
@@eastsideextremer3861 if these doesn't work you should contact dji or return it to your seller. I'm guessing you bought this with a warranty didn't you?
It's not work to me😓
Man I'm sorry, those are the only 2 solutions I have, otherwise it's probably sending them back to your seller and claim the warranty
Skip to 1.38 for the actual point of the video.
Ok cool
Had the same issue and was able to solve the problem with this advice. 👍👍👍
Hello Georgi. Good to know!! Thanks for letting me know
my 3 batteries not powering up
are they new? did you try doing what I did in this video?
I was able to start they are fine. I think there is way to start them by tapping first time and then tapping seond time holding it few seconds and itbstarted then
Good
Were you able to fix your battery? Let me know!

Yes this fix works remarkable
@@wjsmccmsjw9351 🥳🥳🥳🥳 awesome!!! Thanks!
Why put a dead battery on a drone that’s generating no power. Common sense. Charging a new battery that’s dead on the charger didn’t work either. Guessing I’ll buy a new one.
This worked for me and for a lot of people. It’s not about a “dead” battery. Somehow they would not activate sometimes, but we are talking about new ones, not old batteries. So common sense doesn’t apply here my friend
@@OttoJulian_ ok. I’ll try it. Thx for replying.
@@Reaperdrone67 sure. But keep in mind that if your batteries are old they may be up for replacement
@@OttoJulian_ brand new out of the fly more Air 2S. Two batteries work one don’t.
Yeah didn't work for me, just like the others
It has worked for a lot of people, try a few more times. Otherwise send it back for replacement
@@OttoJulian_ yeah I've tried 5+ times on all 3 of my batteries. One stayed charging overnight for about 12 hrs, as I read that could help. But nothing. DJI said that I'm just out of my warranty (2mo) and won't replace them.
@@NSWvet83 are the batteries new or have you used them before?
@@OttoJulian_ they have been used just a few times.
I see. This video is intended for batteries that won’t turn on for the first time. If your batteries have been used and charged already in the past, and now they are not working, there is another problem with the batteries, although some people have said that my solution did help them having your same issue, but I cannot verify exactly what the conditions were. I would send your batteries to an authorized DJI dealer to check them out
Not fixed. Still dead 😔
Oh no!! Someone did say they tried a few times before it worked. Otherwise reach out to your seller
This is dangerous.... if the battery is dead, replace it, period. Lipos build up a lot of internal resistance when dead and trickle charging it can result in a fire when flying.
The battery is not dead. It doesn't activate upon arrival, completely different things. It is a known issue. I wouldn't advice people into manipulating a dead battery. Thanks
