DJI Matrice 5 Series Intelligent Flight Battery

The DJI Matrice 5 Series Intelligent Flight Battery is the pack that gets a DJI Matrice 5T in the air. It is sold separately: a battery is not included in the Matrice 5T aircraft carton, so at least one pack is required to fly. Most crews will want several so one can charge while another is in the air. See all Matrice 5T items in the Matrice 5T category.

It is a 215.2 Wh, 10,073 mAh 6S Li-ion pack, 21.36 V nominal, weighing 768 g and rated for 200 cycles. Maximum charging voltage is 25.8 V. DJI quotes a 1.8C charge rate and a 4C discharge rate. On the Matrice 5T, DJI’s controlled, windless, no-payload test figures are up to 59 minutes of flight or 54 minutes of hover, down to 0%. Real jobs come in under that, especially with a speaker or spotlight fitted.

The pack can heat itself for cold-weather charging and charges between 5°C and 40°C. It is not hot-swappable: power the aircraft down before you swap. On the DJI Matrice 5 Series Charging Hub with the 515 W adapter at 25°C, DJI quotes about 45 minutes from empty to full, or about 31 minutes from 10% to 95%. Push the pack to the second latch so the orange marks are hidden.

This battery fits Matrice 5 Series aircraft only. It will not fit Matrice 4 Series aircraft, and a Matrice 4 Series battery will not fit the Matrice 5T.

At 215.2 Wh the pack is over the usual 160 Wh passenger-aircraft limit and will normally have to travel as declared dangerous goods. That is industry practice, not a DJI product claim.
