What exactly is updating batteries? Do you mean charging batteries?

No, it means updating the FW in each battery. Sometimes the drone’s FW update goes hand in hand with a battery FW update, you need to do the all your batteries, not just the one used to update the drone.

edit: I can confirm that there is a battery FW update as well

I did the update with 1 battery and all good. Then after just reading your post plugged in my other 2. I didn't notice any "updating" going on.

So to everyone reading the "update your batteries too" message. That's looked after, no need to stress(to me it seems nothing is happening but I'm too new to know for sure, for all I know there could be a small piece of code sitting on the drone that does the updating and then again it might not update either.

But in a nutshell, you only need to update the drone, the batteries are taken care of as part of the process as it should be.

Incorrect. The battery used during the drone firmware update is the only one that's updated automatically. The others will have to be done manually. There will be a notification in the Fly app to update the battery, in the first window when you launch the app. This is old information by the ways, this is how the battery updates has always been from day one.

I just used the “non updated” batteries and had no message. They just worked with absolutely no intervention. Maybe they are being updated by the drone itself.

just my experience as a newer dji drone user.

The batteries will still work if not updated.

No, the drone doesn't just 'update' the batteries on its own; it doesn't work that way.

The notification will be on the initial screen, it may take a few minutes to register the required update.

I had to trick my update.
I posted my steps in the update section.

Thmoore · Aug 10, 2020

I do not believe this is correct. When you update the drone's firmware, it seems to update the firmware in the battery that's in the drone at that moment (and the controller also).

But!: If you then swap the other batteries into the drone, they will request a firmware update before they can be used. Better to run through all your batteries at home and update them than to discover this out in the field.

I just went through this process this morning.
