Hi all,

One of my 3 batteries is now showing a bad cell. It says to return to manufacturer.
Does anyone know of a way to "fix" that? Discharging and recharging perhaps? Or some other method?


Looking forward to your replies as usual,

Bruce

Same thing happened to me. I wrote to DJI about a week ago - no reply. It happened to me during a firmware update. I had only 17 charges on the battery. I wonder how long it will take DJI to reply to me.

Hi Bruce
Try a full charge
Full discharge to the point where the aircraft shuts itself down.
Full charge again and see if that fixes the issue.
Failing that I would return to point of purchase.
Good luck
Paul.
