DJI Intelligent Flight Battery Functions

1. Battery Level Display: LEDs display the current battery level.
2. Battery Life Display: LEDs display the current battery life.
3.  Auto-discharging Function: The  battery automatically discharges to  below 65% of  total  power 
when it is left idle (pressing the power button will cause the battery to exit idle state) for more than
10 days  to prevent swelling.  It takes  about two days  to discharge the battery from  100% to 65%, 
and it is normal to feel moderate heat emitting from the battery during the discharge process. The discharge thresholds can be adjusted in the DJI Pilot app.
4. Balanced Charging: Automatically balances the voltage of each battery cell when charging.
5. Overcharge Protection: Automatically stops charging the battery when it is fully charged.
6. Temperature Detection: The battery will only charge when its temperature is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
7. Overcurrent Protection: The battery stops charging when the maximum current of 10A is exceeded.
8.  Over-Discharge Protection: The battery stops discharging when the battery voltage reaches 18V to  prevent damage from over-discharge.
9. Short Circuit Protection: Automatically cuts the power supply when a short circuit is detected.
10. Battery Cell Damage Detection: The DJI Pilot app shows a warning message if a damaged
battery cell is detected.
11. Battery Log: Show the last 32 entries of battery information including the warning messages.
12. Sleep Mode: The battery enters sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity to save power.
13. Communication: The battery voltage, capacity, current, and other relevant information is sent to
the ight controller.
