When ANAFI Ai’s smart LiPo battery is plugged to a power source and charging, its
4 LEDs indicate in real time its level of charge:
LED 1 flashing: battery is between 0 and 25% charged;
LED 1 steady & LED 2 flashing: battery is between 25 and 50% charged;
LEDs 1 and 2 steady & LED 3 flashing: battery is between 50 and 75% charged;
LEDs 1, 2 and 3 steady & LED 4 flashing: battery is between 75 and 100% charged;
battery is plugged and all LEDs are off: battery is full.
Similarly, when your battery is not installed on ANAFI Ai, you can check its charge level
at any time by pressing its power button:
1 steady LED lights up: battery is between 0 and 25% charged;
2 steady LEDs light up: battery is between 25 and 50% charged;
3 steady LEDs light up: battery is between 50 and 75% charged;
4 steady LEDs light up: battery is between 75 and 100% charged.
Finally, the same logic applies when the smart LiPo battery is installed on the drone and
when ANAFI Ai is powered on. The number of steady LEDs enables you to estimate your
remaining flying time:
1 steady LED is lit up: less than 8 minutes flying time remaining;
2 steady LEDs are lit up: between 8 & 16 minutes flying time remaining;
3 steady LEDs are lit up: between 16 & 24 minutes flying time remaining;
4 steady LEDs are lit up: between 24 & 32 minutes flying time remaining.
Battery care and safety
ANAFI Ai’s smart LiPo battery is as high-tech as any other element of your flying 4G
robot.
It features a wintering mode, designed to increase its durability and facilitate its care.
Ideally, when not in use for a prolonged period, batteries should be stored half-charged.
When not in use for 10 days, ANAFI Ai’s smart battery discharges itself, if required, to
65 % charge, over a 48h period. In other words, after a maximum of 12 days without use,
this smart battery enters hibernation with a charge level which never exceeds 65 %. If you
leave your ANAFI Ai battery for 12 days, you will find out its power button does not
activate the charge level LED indicators.
The battery needs to be charged to exit the wintering mode and start operating as
described in the earlier paragraphs: this behavior preserves the battery over time.
Parrot recommends you always run a full charge of your smart battery before flying
ANAFI Ai.
