Charge and discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the battery until there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer be turned on, then recharge it to the maximum capacity. This power cycling procedure will optimize the battery life.

Once the voltmeter reaches above 20.00V, you can reconnect the balancing plug and recharges the battery as per normal. Insert the battery to the aircraft, connect the USB-C charger or PD fast charger to the USB-C port of the aircraft, and the Battery Level LEDs in an array blink successively. Note: If you have more than one battery and you are using a charging hub to charge them you should understand not every battery will come out of hibernation at the same time some can take longer, so if some batteries are not responding give them some time. 2. Fully flat battery (flat lipo) Your battery may not be charging due to outdated software, a damaged battery, or a faulty charger, with perhaps bent pins. there are possible issues both software and hardware and it can be hard to ascertain which is causing it but here are some things that might be causing it- DJI RC-N1: The battery can be fully charged in about 3 hours and 30 minutes by a charger with a maximum charging power of 10 W.So if you can somehow get the battery out of hibernation and charge it to 30% you should defiantly do a firmware refresh to prevent this problem in the future ios: iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPod touch 6, iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad Air 2, iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 3 Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad mini 4, and iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi + Cellular. This app is optimized for iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Similarly, the batteries have smart flight features which may prevent them from charging. The features include the hibernation mode found in intelligent battery systems. In that case, it may be necessary to maintain the battery regularly, including ensuring that its voltage does not drop below 3.7 V, to prevent the battery from entering hibernation mode. Batteries must be charged using a DJI approved adapter.DJI takes no responsibility if the battery is charged using a non-DJI charger. Never leave the battery unattended during charging. Do not charge the battery near flammable materials or on flammable surfaces such as carpet or wood. Keep reading. I’ve laid out a step-by-step troubleshooting process below that will help you fix this issue as soon as possible. Let’s get started. 01. Faulty or broken charger

The battery level LEDs of the battery and remote controller blink in sequence to display the current battery level during charging. After fully charged, the four Battery Level LEDs emit a solid light. Do not place the battery into regular rubbish bins. Strictly follow your local disposal and recycling regulations of batteries. The Lithium Polymer batteries are fragile and easily damaged which can cause many problems for the pilots of the drone that uses Lithium Polymer batteries. Intelligent Flight batteries DJI drones use Intelligent Flight Batteries which are basically just Lithium Polymer batteries but with the only difference being that this type of battery prioritizes safety and has a lot more technology to help with that. You can try factory resetting the drone with the battery that is having problems to start of with clean software.This is also quite common when the batteries are still new and haven’t been charged up yet and makes people think they received a faulty battery although it is just in hibernation mode. To fix the problem, connect the LiPo battery plug to the NiMH charger and charge the battery using about 0.1A current. Select a voltage matching the LiPo battery nominal voltage. It should take between 1-2 minutes for the battery to recover up to 3.3V in every cell. You can confirm this by reading your Phantom 3 battery’s total voltage and dividing it by the total number of cells. Only use official DJI chargers to charge the battery. You'll at best void the warranty on the battery, at worst cause serious harm to yourself or your property.

Android: Samsung tabs 705c, Samsung S6, Samsung S5, Samsung NOTE4, Samsung NOTE3, Google Nexus 9, Google Nexus 7 II, Ascend Mate7, Huawei Mate 8, Nubia Z7 mini, SONY Xperia Z3, MI 3, MI PAD During the charging process, the battery level LEDs of both the Intelligent Flight Battery and the remote controller will blink sequentially, indicating the current battery level. After fully charged, the four Battery Level LEDs emit a solid light. Please disconnect the aircraft and charger. Using the alligator clips, connect the cables directly to the cells which will side bypass the smart circuit. But how do you know which one of those two issues is your connection problem? And once you find out, how do you fix it?

How to Prevent Battery Damage

This is really not important if you have already refreshed the firmware, but just in case there is still some error in the software that hasn’t been solved with a firmware refresh. DJI smart chargers stop the current from reaching the battery when there is too much of it to avoid damage. The Intelligent Flight Battery with the highest power level will be charged first, and then the rest will be charged in sequence according to their power levels. When charging your drone you should always keep an eye on the status bar that shows you how much the drone has charged. This is important because you should not overcharge your drone battery because this could damage it.
