title_body: How to revive an over-discharged DJI Mavic battery? I left my drone on until the battery shutdown.  The Mavic battery bottom meter light flashes 16 times when checking charge.  When i place the battery on DJI chargers it will not charge and also flashes 16 times.  Keep in mind i did not store it this way and the battery depleted this low in the past 24 hours.  Is there a way to force the battery to charge up from a depleted shutdown state?
upvoted_answer: Short answer. Buy a new battery.
  I heavily researched this and although there may be another solution I will share my experience.
  The Mavic batteries have complex circuitry in them to maintain stability and longevity.  This is partly why the Mavic charger will not revive the battery.
  Is there a way to manually charge it?  Well the answer is yes and no.   The cells inside the battery are probably okay if the battery did not deplete this far while in storage.  The problem is the circuitry will not allow a manual charge above failsafe levels restoring to a functioning DJI battery.   There are some videos and reports of people cracking open their batteries and doing various physical things to the circuitry to fix this issue.  I do not recommend this.  I found that opening the Mavic battery was not easy and left the battery case in disrepair due to it being glued or affixed with single use fasteners.  If there is a tool that can open the battery case gracefully i don’t believe it is something in a standard tool box.  On top of that the Mavic circuitry is precise to avoid radio interference and modding that could increase radio interference.
  Once the battery was open, poorly, I was able to charge directly to the main leads.  The battery stack read about 10.5 to 10.6 volts on 3 cells.  Very low.  My hobby charger pulled it up to 11.1 volts static.  I was still unable to charge using the Mavic charger.  This led me to believe the circuitry remembers the charge state of the battery and will not continue if that battery has inconsistent untracked voltage changes.
  I saw another video that shows desoldering the positive terminal while the balance lines are disconnected.   Then soldering it back.  I tried this and it did seem to refresh the charge level readout, but i still could not charge using the Mavic charger.  With my battery split open and looking like it would never be allowed in checked or carry on baggage i gave up and decommissioned the battery using a method that worked for me.  Once the battery became inert it could be disposed of properly.
  I suggest contacting DJI before opening the case. Maybe they have a trade in policy or something when the Mavic depletes the battery too low?
  Best bet is to get a new battery.
