Fix #5: Try another battery. If your DJI Mini 2 comes with more than one battery and the drone does not appear to power on when using a certain battery, try swapping it out with a different battery.

Battery life is one of the DJI Mini 3’s key benefits over the older Mini 2. It can fly for up to 38 minutes, compared to 31 minutes in the older drone, using the standard battery.

Check the battery level on both the controller and DJI Mini 2 drone. The battery for both must exceed more than 40% to make sure that the device won’t power off in the middle of an update.

DJI Mini 3: DJI Mini 3 Pro: DJI Mini 2: Starting price: $499 / AU$829: $759 / AU$1,119: ... or up to 51 minutes with the extended flight battery. That’s the longest of any DJI drone by far.
