Battery Error

[Fred Guernsey]

I have just done a cold IMU calibration and note that the P3A start up is significantly quicker - seconds rather than a minute or so. However, I have just had a battery error - on both original DJI batteries (in the house - not flying btw). It comes and goes immediately - and am thinking that this has something to do with the battery start up temperature - the room is about 12C. Am I correct - I checked also the DJI App and which said that the batteries were 'normal'. Thanks; just checking.

First, room temp is 12C? I'd recommend turning the heat up.

The DJI will return an error is the batteries are 20C and the motors won't start until the batteries are 25C or higher. At 25C you will still get a warning but the motors will start. The drone will have reduced propulsion at 25C.

On the top left of the DJ App - it just says in red 'battery error' - literally for a second and then goes.

Thanks - the motors did start - and I have just checked Healthy Drones and a lot of my flights have been when the battery temp was initially below 20C

Just wondering then, what firmware version are you running? Have you updated within the past year?

The firmware is bang up to date, and have done 3 flights the last couple of days without any errors.
