Battery care and safety

ANAFI USA's smart battery features a wintering mode, designed to increase its durability and
facilitate its care. Ideally, when not in use for a prolonged period, batteries should be stored half-
charged. When not in use for 10 days, ANAFI USA's smart battery discharges itself, if required, to
65% charge, over a 48h period.
After a maximum of 12 days without use, the smart battery enters hibernation with a charge level
which never exceeds 65%. If you leave your ANAFI USA battery for 12 days, the power button does
not activate the charge level LED indicators. You must charge the battery to exit the wintering mode
and start operating as described in the earlier paragraphs. This behavior preserves the battery over
time. Parrot recommends you always run a full charge of your smart battery before flying ANAFI USA.
ANAFI USA's smart battery must be handled, transported and stored with care:
- never leave a battery unattended while charging;
- never expose a battery to extreme temperatures, either hot, nor cold;
- never charge a battery which is still warm from use (wait for at least 20 minutes);
- never use or recharge a damaged or swollen battery;
- always store your battery in a dry, ventilated place, at a temperature close to 20°C;
- always carry your battery in a fire-retardant bag or case (unless it is installed on ANAFI USA:
it can then be transported with the drone, inside its carrying case).
Note: ANAFI USA's smart battery can only charge in ambient temperatures between +10°C and
+45°C. Flying time is reduced if you use ANAFI USA in temperatures approaching -10°C. The ideal
operating temperature of the smart battery is 20°C. Ensuring that the smart battery remains as close
as possible to 20°C before starting a flight minimizes the reduction in the smart battery's capacity in
cold environments.
If the behavior of your battery is not consistent with the information in this section, and if the battery
does not power your ANAFI USA, you must hard reset your battery.
To perform a battery hard reset:
1. Plug the battery into a power source with the enclosed cable,
2. Press the Power button for 15 seconds (regardless of the behavior of the LEDs).
The hard reset is successful if the battery's LEDs flash quickly, one after the other, alternating green
and red.
