Low Battery RTH 

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that 

may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately 

when these warnings are shown. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point 

when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is 

taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The 

thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its 

distance from the Home Point. 

Aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft to land to the ground 

from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft’s orientation during the 

landing process.

 Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness 

of the sensors.

 The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters.

 Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light 

conditions (less than 100lux).

 Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is 

in operation. 

 Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the 

ground (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed.

Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar 

sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals.

DJI Intelligent Flight Battery Functions

1. Battery Level Display: LEDs display the current battery level. 

2. Battery Life Display: LEDs display the current battery power cycle. 

3. Auto-discharging Function: The battery automatically discharges to below 65% of total power when it is 

idle for more than 10 days to prevent swelling. It takes around 2 days to discharge the battery to 65%. 

It is normal to feel moderate heat emitting from the battery during the discharge process. Discharge 

thresholds can be set in the DJI Pilot app. 

4. Balanced Charging: Automatically balances the voltage of each battery cell when charging.
