Introduction

The T16 Intelligent Flight Battery (hereafter referred to as “the battery”) has a capacity of 17,500 mAh
at a voltage of 51.8 V. The metal shell and rubber caps effectively protect the battery, and the high
energy battery cells and advanced power management system allow it to provide long-lasting power to an aircraft. The T16 Intelligent Flight Battery is available in two versions: advanced and standard.

1. Power Button
   Press to check the battery power level. Press and then press and hold to power on the battery. Only power the battery on and off when it is connected to the aircraft. Otherwise, the power ports on the battery and the aircraft will be damaged.

2. Clamp
   Use the clamp to firmly attach the battery to the aircraft. Press the clamp to remove the battery from the aircraft.

3. Handle
   Use the handle to carry the battery.

4. Status LEDs
   Indicate the battery level. From left to right: LED 4, LED 3, LED 2, LED 1.

5. Power Port
   Connects to an aircraft or battery charger.

6. Rubber Caps
   Protects the battery.

Battery Functions

1. Battery Level Display: The status LEDs indicate the current battery level. To check, press the power button.
2. Communication: Battery parameters including voltage and power level are transmitted to the aircraft to enable the aircraft to take appropriate action when battery parameters change.
3. Charging Error Detection: Errors that occur during charging are indicated by the status LEDs. When an error occurs, disconnect the battery and wait for the battery to fix the error automatically. For more information, refer to the LED Patterns section.
4. Battery Error Records: The battery records errors such as excessive charging or discharging, exceeding the temperature range when charging and discharging, and storing a battery for an extended period with the power level outside of the recommended range. The battery error records can be accessed by authorized DJI dealers when troubleshooting or repairing.
5. Auto Balancing: In certain situations, the battery automatically balances the voltages of the cells.
6. Auto Discharging: If fully charged for more than 10 days, the battery automatically discharges to a power level of 65%.
7. Auto Current Adjustment: The battery intelligently adjusts the charging current based on the temperature of the battery cell. The battery can also auto adjust the input current based on the environment temperature for self-protection.
8. Temperature Control: The battery ensures the temperature difference between the battery cells are the same and stay within the allowable temperature range.

CAUTION

• Refer to the safety requirements listed on the label of the battery before using for the first time. Users accept full responsibility for any violations of the safety requirements stated on the label.
• The product warranty is void if any battery errors occur due to misuse of the battery.

Using the Battery

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

• DO NOT use or leave 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 or charge 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 and 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 (41° to 113° F). Use of the battery in environments above 50° C (122° F) can lead to a fire or 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.
• The electrolytes in the battery are highly corrosive. If any electrolytes come into contact with your skin or eyes, immediately wash the affected area with fresh running water for at least 15 minutes, and then see a professional medical attention 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 inside an aircraft during flight, take it out immediately, and put it in a safe and open area. DO NOT use the battery again and dispose of it properly as described in the Battery Disposal section.
• 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, strike, pierce, disassemble, or manually short-circuit the battery. Otherwise, it may leak, catch fire, or explode.
• Always use a clean, dry cloth when cleaning the battery terminals.
• DO NOT fly when the battery power level is below 15%.
• 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 batteries that are unapproved.
• Make sure to lift the battery by the handle. DO NOT lift it by holding the cables.
• Make sure the battery is placed on a flat surface.
• DO NOT place anything on a battery. Otherwise, the battery may be damaged, which may lead to fire hazards.\
• The battery is heavy. Be careful when moving the battery to avoid dropping it. If the battery is dropped and damaged, immediately leave the battery in an open area away from people. Wait 30 minutes and then soak the battery in water for 24 hours. After making sure the power has completely ran out, dispose of the battery in accordance with local laws.
• Put out any battery fire using sand or a dry powder fire extinguisher.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged before each flight.
• Immediately land the aircraft if a critical battery level warning appears and replace with a fully charged battery.
• Before operating in a low-temperature environment, make sure the battery is at least above 5°C (41° F). Ideally, above 20° C (68 ° F).

LED Patterns

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. Disconnect the battery when charging is complete, and always use the officially recommended battery charger to charge the battery.

Battery Error LED Patterns
If a battery error occurs during charging, the LEDs indicate which error has occurred. At that time, the battery stops charging. During charging, if no battery error has occurred, the LEDs indicate the current battery level. Refer to the LED Patterns During Charging section for more information.
To check for battery errors while the battery is not being charged, press the power button. If no battery error has occurred, the LEDs indicates the current battery level. Refer to the Checking Battery Level section for more information.
Battery errors may also lead to warning prompts appearing in the mobile app when flying an aircraft.
The battery can fix some errors automatically. If one of the following errors occurs, wait for the battery to attempt to fix them automatically.

CAUTION

•  Only use an approved charger. DJI assumes no responsibility if the battery is charged using an unapproved charger.
• 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 charger and any charging batteries. Otherwise, the battery charger or charging batteries may be damaged by excessive heating and may even lead to a fire hazard.
• Charge the battery at a temperature range of 0° to 45° C (32° to 113° F). The ideal charging temperature range is 22° to 28° C (72° to 82° F). Charging at the ideal temperature range can prolong battery life.
