Parrot ANAFI Retrofit Kit

2692

What's in the box

The Parrot ANAFI Retrofit-kit allows your ANAFI drone to automatically charge its battery by landing on the Skycharge Charging Pad. The Retrofit-Kit comes in either the indoor or the outdoor model depending on your charging pad model. The main difference between the indoor and the outdoor model is the contact shape and position.

To install the retrofit-kit you should follow the below procedure.

1. Attach the velcro fastener

Install the adhesive velcro fastener on the back of the battery, as shown in Figure 1. The Velcro must be attached to the backside of the battery and not to the drone body allowing the battery to be removed without damaging the velcro fastener.
