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 and 16 minutes flying time remaining
3 steady LEDs are lit up:
between 16 and 24 minutes flying time remaining
4 steady LEDs are lit up:
between 24 and 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.
Like all other LiPo batteries, ANAFI Ai’s smart battery must be handled, transported and stored with care:
- to optimize the battery’s lifetime, do not discharge it under 15 %;
- never leave a battery unattended while charging;
- never expose a battery to extreme temperatures, neither hot, nor cold;
- never leave a battery exposed to direct sunray for a prolonged period of time;
- never charge a battery which is still warm from use (wait for at least 20 minutes);
- never use or recharge a damaged or swollen battery;
- for an optimum storage, always keep your battery in a dry, ventilated place, at a temperature close
to 20 °C;
- the boundary conditions to store the battery are:
o a temperature from -20°C to 35°C; o a
relative humidity lower than 75% (rh);
- always carry your battery in a fire-retardant bag or case (unless it is installed on ANAFI Ai: it can then
be transported with the drone, inside its carrying case).
