How do I charge the smart battery of ANAFI Ai?

To charge ANAFI Ai’s smart LiPo battery, use one of the enclosed USB-C to USB-C cable to plug the battery to its charger, or to:

  • a tabletop or laptop computer’s USB-C port;
  • a power bank’s USB-C port.

 

Full charging time depends on temperature. At 20°C, you can expect charging your battery in 2 hours.

 

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.
