when turning on the battery. the lights act normal and when I let off the button when all the green lights come on. They stay lit for a second then goes to 1 green light then it goes out.
when charging...each gren light comes on one at a time till all green and the red light comes on then all lights go off.

any ideas ???

Hi there. thank you for reaching out and sorry for some inconvenience. Regarding that may I ask if you are doing correctly the pressing combo like one press release then hold for sec of time then when lit up release. however, can you provide some quick video of the issue for better visualization? Thanks!

yes that's how I turn it on.  except after I let go this time. the lights go to 1 green light and go off completely.


when charging the lights blink 1 at a time until all are lit the go off. repeats 5 to 10 seconds later.

Try hooking to the charger and turning the battery on, according to some, you may have to do this repeatedly until it starts charging.   Just watched a youtube video showing this.  Good luck.

You can't load video clips to this site. Put them up on YouTube, then post a link to the YouTube clip.

Nice to see my Hibernation text again !!

I'm a little confused though by why show the battery being IN the AC when he's switching on ... Post 15. If you keep dping that - the battery obviosuly pushed down into such low charge level - it WILL shut off to protect itself.Get it OUT of the AC ... plug in charger and leave it alone !! Don't mess about with pressing buttons etc.

Why ?

I put the battery in the AC for an extra hand to hold the battery so I could film it with one hand and try to turn on with the other.

Im trying the ……..turn on....let sit for 5 minutes and plugging it in and letting it sit on the charger till something happens.

what can I expect to happen when it wakes up ?

It will just start LED's ...

The trick is to resist the temptation to touch it ... leave it well alone ... don't touch that button at all .... it may take an hour ... it may take all day ... leave it alone !! If it does not wake up after a day on charge ... then most likely its ***** ! Other than opening up the pack and force charging it .... NOT a job for anyone who is not au fai with LiPo's ... I don't think there is much can be done.

Note : DJI batterys are designed to not power up if voltage drops to 3V or lower per cell ... its a safeguard mechanism. The only way to get the battery up then is an original DJI charger plugged into it.

Charging battery is nearly  a waiting time.  Nothing more and nothing less. Do not disturb that process.
