Make sure all propellers are in good condition before each flight. DO NOT use aged, chipped, or
broken propellers.
Stay away from the rotating propellers and motors to avoid injuries.
Place the aircraft correctly when storing. It is recommended to use a propeller holder to fix the
propellers. DO NOT squeeze or bend the propellers during transportation or storage.
Make sure the motors are mounted securely and rotating smoothly. Land the aircraft immediately if a
motor is stuck and unable to rotate freely.
DO NOT attempt to modify the structure of the motors.
DO NOT touch or let your hands or body come in contact with the motors after flight as they may be
hot.
DO NOT block any of the ventilation holes on the motors or the body of the aircraft.
Make sure the ESCs sound normal when powered on.
Intelligent Flight Battery
The DJI Mini 2 Intelligent Flight Battery is a 7.7 V, 2250 mAh battery with smart charging and discharging
functionality.
Battery Features
1. Balanced Charging: during charging, the voltages of the battery cells are automatically balanced.
2. Auto-Discharging Function: to prevent swelling, the battery automatically discharges to approx. 96%
of the battery level when it is idle for one day, and automatically discharges to approx. 72% 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.
3. Overcharge Protection: the battery stops charging automatically once fully charged.
4. Temperature Detection: To prevent damage, the battery only charges when the temperature is
between 5° and 40° C (41° and 104° F). Charging stops automatically if the temperature of the
battery exceeds 50° C (122° F) during the charging process.
5. Overcurrent Protection: the battery stops charging if an excess current is detected.
6. Over-discharge Protection: discharging stops automatically to prevent excess discharge when the
battery is not in flight use. Over-discharge protection is not enabled when the battery is in flight use.
7. Short Circuit Protection: the power supply is automatically cut if a short circuit is detected.
8. Battery Cell Damage Protection: DJI Fly displays a warning prompt when a damaged battery cell is
detected.
9. Hibernation Mode: if the battery cell voltage is lower than 3.0 V or the battery level is less than 10%,
the battery enters Hibernation mode to prevent over-discharge. Charge the battery to wake it from
hibernation.
10. Communication: information about the voltage, capacity, and current of the battery is transmitted to
the aircraft.

To ensure the optimal performance of the battery, keep the battery temperature above 20° C (68° F). 3. The reduced battery capacity in low-temperature environments reduces the wind speed resistance performance of the aircraft. Fly with caution. 4. Fly with extra caution at high sea levels. In cold environments, insert the battery into the battery compartment and turn on the aircraft to warm up before taking off. Charging the Battery Fully charge the Intelligent Flight Battery before using for the first time. 1. Connect the USB charger to an AC power supply (100-240V, 50/60 Hz). Use a power adapter if necessary. 2. Attach the aircraft to the USB charger.
