    Warning! Do not install fw 1.9! Lost I1

    Wait WTF? DJI go fk yourself.. Problem with DJI is that if they know there's a problem they do nothing about it. Same was for my Lipos on v1.7 FW where they would overdischarge after 90 days. DJI almost burnt my house down. incompetent fkers

    Battery Advise

    I'm totally over DJI now anyways.. They are a bunch of numpties as far as I am concerned.. Yuneec will definitely get my money soon. I was contacted yesterday by Australian Consumer Affairs (ACCC) so I now they're looking into it. Apparently I'm not the only one who's complained about the...

    Battery Advise

    I provided them with all the info. I've spoken and emailed with 10 different DJI techs all with the same result - so they all must be dumb.. I did not update to 1.8 because of all the issues people having with range loss, bricking on update, etc, etc... Loads of people still have yet to...

    taking care of batteries

    ALSO ensure you have the latest Battery Firmware, because the batteries are prone to "over discharge" after 90 days storage... As I found out by finding a battery dead and swollen..

    Battery Advise

    DJI told me they cant be left indefinitely at 2-3 bars and I should have checked them every 30 days... This (and being a few months out of warranty) was their case for not providing a new battery to me.. So what is the truth? I would definitely not leave them sit indefinitely.. According to...

    Battery Advise

    I've been a big DJI fan for a long time. However this is the last straw for me. They've made too many amateur mistakes, including failing to look after the customer.. I can deal with all the other issues with the Inspire, but when a company knowingly puts my family's safety and home at risk...

    Does this reset the swelling too? It makes the battery shrink right? LOL

    Battery Advise

    The best DJI could do was offer me 20% discount on the cost of a new battery.. I find this totally unacceptable. I am selling my Inspire 1 as a result. Too many issues and bu11shit.. I've also filed a complaint with the ACCC here in Australia as regardless of the battery being out of...

    I will never buy another dji product again.

    How old was your battery? Mine was out of the 6 month warranty period and DJI denied all liability and refused a replacement, but it shouldn't have mattered because their firmware caused it to discharge and fail... All lipo's should remain storage charged for up to a year with very little...

    I will never buy another dji product again.

    I'm the same. Currently selling my bird because of this I had a TB47 battery discharge due to faulty smart battery software (was stored for >90 days) and the best DJI could do was offer me 20% discount on a new battery when it was their firmware that caused the discharge.. DJI are all...

    RISE ABOVE custom drone soloutions

    He sure is Arrogant! He's also just a salesman. Definitely not technically minded. Knows nothing about centrifugal forces or what effect prop loading has on ESC's etc.. buyer beware
