After some DJI drones spontaneously crashed during the flight due to a complete power failure, the British aviation authority has now issued a temporary ban on certain models. A week ago it was assumed that there was a general problem with the power supply of the Matrice 200 drones, but now the problem has been narrowed down: according to the latest findings, the DJI batteries with the type designation
These are used in the drone models of the ![]() ![]() ![]() DJI Inspire 2 Drone pilots of the corresponding models that use the affected batteries should not carry out any further flights in this country either. Even if flights over people can be avoided, there is still the danger of (total) damage to the drone due to the sudden crash. The power failure during the flight occurred although the pilots were still shown sufficient power reserves or remaining flight time by the Flight App. DJI himself has now published a ![]() DJI is working on a firmware update for the two battery models to fix the problem and gives some advice on how to avoid the problem to minimize the risk. For example, the batteries should be fully charged before the flight, consulting the charger&s display and not the battery&s, as it displays incorrect values and also transmits them to the drone. During the flight, the battery charge level should then be estimated on the basis of the voltage indicator, the voltage should never drop below 3.7V - at maximum charge the voltage is 4.25V. ![]() The TB50 battery concerned ![]() deutsche Version dieser Seite: DJI Drohnen Abstürze durch Batterieprobleme - Flugverbot in Großbritannien |
