Good day
        I bought to extra batteries for my Phantom and  my phantom is saying invalid battery. They are original batteries and there serial numbers are 3221144316743 and 322114314930. How can I get them to work?

They are original and fully charged I assume. So when you connect to the software you get the invalid battery message?  So can you power up the Phantom and get full charge lights on the battery- and can you calibrate and fly anyway with these batteries or do they really not work at all? more info please

the batteries work to an extent. I get invalid battery after i calibrate the compass.  And when I try to start up the  phantom the invalid indicator is flashing on my Iphone. the lights on the battery that indicate the power level works fine. Everything works fine up to the point of taking off.  the battery that came with the phantom work perfect. but I am having issues with the extra batteries.

Install the batteries into the Phantom and connect to DJI Phantom 2 Vision Assistant_3.6.   Go to the battery page of the app and let us know what message you get for each battery.  If it says you need to upgrade, do that.

Can you power up the Phantom with the battery in question you are having trouble with?

A silly question: Did you install the DJI driver ? Reinstall them.

BTW: They turn to green (slow blinking) when Phantom has >= 6 Satelites (when in GPS Mode) and home  position was recorded

Three Questions:
   1) Where did you get the serial number?  All of my DJI batteries have a sticker on the bottom beginning with "DJ" followed by 15 -- yours have 13 digits (By the way, that is NOT the battery serial number that will appear in the Vision Assistant software)
   2) Are these actual DJI batteries or third party clones? And if they are clones did you try and do the battery firmware update?  (D'OH! That tends to turn them into bricks)
   3) Did you ever have any previous versions of the Phantom Assistant installed?  If so, uninstall and then reinstall version 3.6  (Back in November (2014) DJI released two different versions of the Vision Assistant in the space of three days because there were some problems with some updates not appearing)
