Since this topic comes up often, I will add a remark. If you are still under warranty, you should definitely send it back for an exchange. As many of us have discovered, there are no DJI replacement batteries. For those reading this with RC controllers out of warranty, Geebax has a good suggestion of buying a used one. However, if you are reasonably skilled in soldering and RC electronics repairs, it is possible to replace the defective DJI battery. I have been flying my P3P successfully with a 3500 mAh 2S1P (7.4V) RX-TX LiPo battery used for RC controllers. These fit inside the original battery compartment, can be charged using the DJI charger, and give a reasonable number of flights between charges. The important point is this: you must have access to the RX-TX battery's balancing plug (I cut a small hole to bring it out), since the RX-TX replacement battery is not "intelligent" (it does not have the small DJI circuit board inside that checks the balance between the cells). Charging unbalanced cells risks a fire, as does short circuiting the leads if you don't know what you are doing for the repair.
Have fun & good flying! |
