UGCS Battery % showing 0% but Voltage Normal A3

Posted by Steve Cudmore on July 25, 2018 at 6:06am

Has anyone had this problem with the battery percentage showing 0% with an acceptable voltage? This is on a custom airframe with an A3 Pro controller & LB2. Has this display in both the desktop and mobile version. The DJI Go app doesn't show anything wrong but only shows a voltage not percentage. Pack indicates ~65% with a battery checker. Drone was erratic last time we tried a test flight and wondering if this could be the issue. The voltage shows fine but not the %.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

    In DJI A3 there is only a voltage indication but no percentage so UgCS would not be able to read that data since it is not available.

    Hi Artūrs,

    Is the 0% battery indication part of the newer versions of UGCS vs older versions? We've been flying since V2.13 and never had this 0% indication before with non-DJI batteries.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for reaching out on our forum.

    Unfortunately, since in DJI SKD there is no option to get battery percentage in case non-DJI batteries are  used, we can not display a percentage.

    This would be a very complicated feature, since there might be different battery combinations - e.g. 3s, 4s, 6s etc, and would require significant changes in our app.

    I will add this as a feature request in our schedule, but I cant see it done in the near future, unfortunately.

    Best regards,
    Artūrs
