Using the Battery

Press and then press and hold the power button to power on the battery after it is connected to the aircraft. When the aircraft lands and the motors stop, press and then press and hold the power button to power off the battery, and then disconnect the battery from the aircraft.

• DO NOT use the battery near heat sources such as a furnace or heater. DO NOT leave the battery inside a vehicle on hot days.
• DO NOT allow the battery to come into contact with any liquid. DO NOT leave the battery near a source of moisture and DO NOT use the battery in humid environments. Otherwise, the battery may corrode, potentially resulting in the battery catching fire or exploding.
• DO NOT use swollen, leaking, or damaged batteries. If your battery is abnormal, contact an authorized DJI dealer for further assistance.
• Make sure the battery is powered off before connecting to or disconnecting from the aircraft. DO NOT connect or disconnect the battery while it is powered on. Otherwise, the power ports may be damaged.
• The battery should be used in the temperature range of -5° to 45° C (23° to 113° F). Use of batteries in environments above 50° C (122° F) can lead to fire or an explosion. Use of the battery in temperatures below -5° C (23° F) can negatively affect the performance of the battery. The battery can be used again when it returns to a normal temperature.
• DO NOT use the battery in strong electrostatic or electromagnetic environments or near high-voltage transmission lines. Otherwise, the battery circuit board may malfunction, which could cause a serious flight hazard.
• DO NOT disassemble or pierce a battery in any way or it may leak, catch fire, or explode.
• The electrolytes in the battery are highly corrosive. If any electrolytes make contact with your skin or eyes, immediately wash the affected area with water and see a doctor immediately.
• DO NOT use a battery that has been dropped. Dispose of the battery as described in the Battery Disposal section.
• If the battery falls into water while inserted in an aircraft during flight, remove it immediately, and contact a DJI authorized dealer to check and repair the aircraft and intelligent flight battery as soon as possible.
•  Extinguish any battery fire using water, sand, or a dry powder fire extinguisher.
•  DO NOT put the battery in a microwave oven or a pressurized container.
• DO NOT place the battery on or near wires or other metal objects such as eyeglasses, watches, jewelry, and hairpins. Otherwise, the battery ports may be short-circuited.
•  DO NOT drop or strike batteries. DO NOT place heavy objects on the batteries or station. Avoid dropping batteries.
• Always use a clean, dry cloth when cleaning the battery terminals.
• DO NOT fly when the battery power level is below 15% to avoid damage to the battery and flight risks.
• Make sure the battery is correctly connected. Otherwise, the battery may overheat or even explode due to abnormal charging. Only use approved batteries from authorized dealers. DJI assumes no responsibility for any damaged caused by using unapproved batteries.
• Make sure to lift the battery by the handle.
• Make sure the battery is placed on a flat surface to avoid damage to the battery from sharp objects.
• DO NOT place anything on a battery. Otherwise, the battery may be damaged, which may lead to fire hazards.

Using the Air-cooled

Using the Air-cooled Heat Sink

After flight, it is recommended to insert DB1560 Intelligent Flight Battery into the air-cooled heat sink to charge.

1.  Loosen the cable lock, then attach the charging cable to the heat sink properly.
2. Make sure the charging cable is properly secured and the cable lock is fastened, then carefully insert the battery. DO NOT drop the battery into the heat sink.Only charge one battery at a time. Otherwise, heat dissipation will be affected.

While being charged, the air-cooled heat sink will automatically start cooling according to the temperature of the battery.

• Make sure to remove the battery charging cable when transporting. Otherwise, it will be worn out.
• DO NOT rinse with water.
• Regularly clean the protective mesh and cooling fan to ensure good heat dissipation.

LED Patterns

The Battery Level Indicators will show the current battery level and status during charging and discharging. The indicators are defined below:

LED is on    LED is blinking    LED is off

Checking Battery Level

If the battery is in power-saving mode, press the power button once to check the current battery level.

LED Patterns During Charging

During charging, the LEDs blink in sequence to indicate the current battery level. All the LEDs will be off after a full charge. Disconnect the battery when charging is complete, and always use the officially recommended charging device to charge the battery.

Battery Error LED Patterns

The table below shows battery protection mechanisms and corresponding LED patterns.

If overcurrent at power on is detected or a short circuit occurs, unplug the battery, then check if there are foreign objects in the port.

If undervoltage at power on is detected, charge the battery before use. If the battery temperature is abnormal, wait for the temperature to return to normal. The battery will then automatically power on or resume charging. For other situations, after resolving the issue (overcurrent, excess battery voltage due to overcharging, or excess charging device voltage), press the power button to cancel the LED indicator protection alert and unplug and plug in the charging device again to resume charging.

• DJI does not take any responsibility for damage caused by third-party charging devices.
• DO NOT charge the battery near flammable materials or on flammable surfaces such as carpet or wood. DO NOT leave the battery unattended during charging. There should be a distance of at least 30 cm between the battery station and any charging batteries.
• Otherwise, the battery station or charging batteries may be damaged by excessive heating and may even lead to a fire hazard.
• The battery temperature will be high after a flight. Place the battery into the DJI Air-Cooled Heat Sink or a third-party air-cooled heat dissipation device to charge it. Otherwise, charging may be disabled. Refer to the DJI Air-Cooled Heat Sink manual document for its usage instructions. Charge the battery at a temperature range of 0° to 60° C (32° to 140° F). The ideal charging temperature range is 22° to 28° C (72° to 82° F). Charging within the ideal temperature range can prolong battery life.
