Skydio X2D INTL - Operator Manual © 2023 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved.
Skydio X2D uses rechargeable lithium polymer batteries (LiPo).
• Charge your Skydio X2D batteries using only the
Skydio supplied charging power adapter or dual
charger accessory (dual charger sold separately).
We recommend using the provided power adapter;
however, most USB-C power adapters that are
rated from 40W up to 100W should be compatible
as well (charge time may be aected when using
non-Skydio chargers).
• While charging, the Skydio X2D or X2D Dual Charger
should be in an open area as it is normal for the
device to become warm to the touch.
• TSA and FAA guidelines state that spare (uninstalled)
lithium batteries must be transported in carry-on
baggage only. When traveling with Skydio X2D in
the United States, be sure to pack your batteries in
your carry-on luggage only. For more info, please
see this FAA page. When traveling with Skydio X2D
outside of the United States, be sure to check local
regulations before transporting batteries.
• Do not use your Skydio X2D batteries at
temperatures below 14°F (-10°C), as they will not
function properly below that temperature. If your
batteries do get cold, warm them up in a room-
temperature environment - DO NOT use higher heat
(hairdryer, etc.) to accelerate heating.
• Do not charge your batteries when ambient
temperature is above 95°F (35°C) or below 50°F
(10°C). Batteries will not charge when too hot or too
cold.
• If storing your batteries long-term, we recommend
fully charging and discharging them every two
months. Store batteries at room temperature 71°F -
82°F 22°C - 28°C) and away from any moisture (less
than 75% relative humidity).
• Battery idle state: If the battery is above 60% state
of charge, after 14 days of idle time (no flights) it
will start to self-discharge down to 60%. This self-
discharge helps retain capacity over the life of the
battery and may take several days to complete. It
is normal for the battery to be slightly warm during
this discharge process. Charge your battery as you
would normally to exit this idle state.
• Do not disassemble the batteries, power adapter, or
dual charging docks. Do not strike the battery with
high force.
• Do not use any batteries which have become
dented or begin to split apart (after a crash or drop).
• Do not immerse the batteries, charger, or charging
docks in water or other liquids.
• Lithium polymer batteries can leak, overheat, melt,
release harmful gas, burst or ignite when exposed
to heat, water, and other liquids or when pierced,
punctured or ruptured.
• If any substances from the battery pack get into
your eyes, do not rub them. Seek medical attention
immediately.
• Take care when disposing of the battery pack.
Contact your local waste facility to verify if lithium
polymer batteries are permitted in your regular
waste. Many stores also oer free recycling.
• Never insert any other materials into the Skydio X2D
battery terminals.
