I have a newly installed iPhone 6 Plus battery. Replaced the year-old battery because it dies in like 8-10 minutes on a full charge if exposed to freezing temps. The new one does the same thing, lol. Conclusion, cold eats lithium-ion batteries and I need to figure out a way of keeping that device warm/comfortable while I fly. I need at least 40 minutes of use for a solution. 8-10 minutes of battery life makes this hobby way too stressful.
Anyone have a similar issue and figure out how to hike in for 10-15 minutes, set up, launch, then fly for 15 minutes without losing the video monitoring device? How cold, 34 to 20 Fahrenheit (AKA Mild Winter normal temps.)
I thought there would be a way to use the "DJI's Battery to Power Bank Adapter" but that simply charges your device via the same port I need to connect to the controller. I need to keep the phone charged "while I fly" and IOS devices only have one input and I need it to be connected to the controller.
So now what? I heard hand warmers strapped to the back of the phone might work? Some say use an iPad but I hear those die fast too (aluminum). I am not trying to debate the drone batteries, I got those covered but the phone is impossible to keep from exposure. I need it to see the camera image.
Does anyone have experience with this issue and a workable solution/workaround that keeps portability in mind?
