You may not have read my original text, but I have switched paired TB50's but thanks I have not payed attention to actually switching sides. Good idea and appreciate the hint. Thanks again . . .

Thanks for the replies, but so far all is wel again, but intermittent 'non-start' problems. Not batteries unless 4 sets of TB50s could, of course not. I suspected the 'spring-loads' were to assist battery release and there was no electrical connection, but had to at least ask. I will triple...

Some weeks ago I had issues with the I2 starting regardless of batteries. All paired properly and after three sets of no luck starting started wondering about these switches. The photos should tell all, but just in case: the portside battery switch is free-floating and the starboard battery...

I've dealt with Alex, use two of his Phantom Angels, and they work like a charm. I suspect he's a small 'cottage industry' company that does this asa sideline and more than likely chief engineer, product developer, fabricator, expediter, website designer, accountant, etc. Give the guy a break...

I have two of their units, one was drone specific e.g. Inspire 1 batteries, the second, and I believe the proprietor's name is Alex, recommended the somewhat universal model with appropriate cabling/plugs for Phantom/I1, I2 batteries. I best remember my wait time about a month before I received...

None of the searches seems to address this problem. This is a virtually new I2 with < 10 hours of flight time, that will not power up. Last flight likely a month ago, all was well. Using three different sets of paired TB50's, all fully charged, will bird will not power on with any set. Only...

Your reply superbly stated and certainly a roadmap for a detailed response. Personally I just don’t know how you maintain any sense of decorum or sanity.

My finger strength has diminished with age, and seems not enough to grab to get the battery out easily A solution that works for me, get some white, or black 'ribbon' at Walmart of sewing store, and tack it to bottom of the batteries so that two tabs stick out of bottom on each side (1/2 inch or...

On a specific set/pair of TB50's on my I2 I cannot properly shutdown the I2 but must physically eject the two batteries to effect a shutdown. This is unique to only one-pair of batteries, the other pairs all shutdown fine. I've rundown the batteries (angel) and recharged, all operations of the...

I'm presuming this is normal, but out of curioisity would like to affirm as normal. I inadvertently mixed two batteries, TB-50's e.g. a C and an A, label, and the Inspire 2 would not go thru the 'start-up' routine; that is, nothing happened. I lamented, 'what now'. I tried two batteries with...

Owning them both, and with the Z3 (zoom) on the I1 and also the X5R I'm a bit wary to comment as they are so different in terms of camera i.e. X5R, interchangeable lenses etc. But, will somewhat agree that the I1, whether V2 or original, still not as stable a platform. But, at least in my...

I am in the United States, Jacksonville, FL. I want to buy at least two (2) TB 47's or 48's, with low cycle count. I would like shipment as close to FL as possible, but certainly USA only. I use Zelle to pay immediately.

I heartily agree that it was a coincidence and I was initially reluctant to mention the Phantom Angel as there was no reason for the discharge to affect the battery, as you indicated. I only mentioned it in the rare, and unlikely event, that it happend to others, then I'd be wary.

The error message, (I can't remember the exact msg) that warns of battery problem, and battery should be discharged, etc. came up. I have a Phantom Angel (electrical device that discharges the battery via an HID auto lamp) that I have used successfully in the past (three times in fact over the...

I honestly do not remember, and it's currently in my motorhome in a remote garage. I best remenber I purchased it on Amazon and was not the least expensive, and got good reviews. It did not come with a cigarette lighter adapter, but a set of fairly heavy duty battery clips.
