Battery discharge 'miracle' fix

[Raymondo]

I was having battery issues after i had not used my Inspire one pro for a couple of months. Randon errors, rapid discharge etc. Deep cycled a few times, slightly better.

I have recently sorted out another device that wasn't working due to oxidisation on one end of a standard AA battery by using an electrical contact spray.

Tried the same thing on the inspire contacts and the tb47 and 48 connectors. Gave it plenty of time to dry.

Flew a full day of filming yesterday. All 4 batteries behave just as if they were new.

Perhaps the Intelligence is sensitive to minor resistance as the volts drop.

Anyway, i am very happy.

Nice to know you have the problem resolved Raymondo and thanks for sharing that information.
(there are many folks going crazy over these "smart batteries")

How's your battery health? When you hold down the power button for that 10 seconds.
I have a battery with less than 20 flights and it's already showing that it's at the 90% health. Maybe the reading is based on the resistance like you said. Then it might improve?

 

[Raymondo]

Would love to know if anyone else gets similar improvement with this technique.

Batteries all showed 100% after charging. I have been flying for 32hrs on this set of batteries. Lots of short flights and recharges.

Not 100% charge. I mean the health of the battery. When you hold down the batty ON button for 10 seconds and the red led blinks. And the green shows the health level.

 

[Raymondo]

100% on both the lights and the dji go app.

Worth a try; What product did you use - WD40?
Thank you for sharing

 

[Raymondo]

No! Not wd40, that is a lubricant that does not conduct very well and does not de-oxidise. Look for any brand of Electical Contact Cleaner. Jaycar have it in Australia.
