If you can discharge this battery down to 10% if you can then recharge .   Have you upgraded the firmware recently on this battery  ?

As in each led lights up in sequence from 1 through to 4 then all 4 turn off and it cycles again (in seconds) whilst charging? If so, that means the battery is still charging and will already be between 75% - 99.9% charged. It will be fully charged when all 4 LED’s switch off completely. Charging from 75% to full does take longer but the lights should eventually turn out. If that’s not the case then may be easier for you to post a short vid of the problem so we can better understand the problem.

Cool. When charging make sure nothing else is charging alongside it I.e don’t charge the RC or any other batteries on a hub at the same time - just connect this single battery and leave it to charge. In that state it should take 1 hour, 20 minutes max to charge from 15% to full (all lights out). If it’s still flashing after say 2 hours turn it off and power up the drone with that battery and go into the battery specs section of the app and check that the voltage readings of all 3 cells are equal and the power percentage. If it’s say 90% after a 2 hour charge you’ve got a problem but we may be able to fix it through a discharge cycle but let’s see if we can prevent that first.

And yeah, I’m guessing as the other 2 are fine you’ve updated the FW on the drone and RC and swiped the battery for its FW to be consistent? It’s important that the drone and battery firmware are on the same version.

Great to hear! Sometimes it can take longer especially when charging multiple batteries as the charger will slow the charge to prevent it from overheating.
