Greetings,

I just revecived 4 new TB 48's. All charged ok.  Placed one battery in the craft, activated it, and it crackled emitted smoke then became unresponsive.

Just had a second battery do this now. Same thing.


Anyone else having this issue??


Cheers

Nope. Return them ASAP.

No - flew two TB48's and a TB47 yesterday in 32c temperatures - not a single problem.

Hi, Mike are you sure your aircraft is in excellent working condition? Two batteries in a row.... It sounds like there is a short somewhere. From where did you get said new batteries? Safety First! Ken.

Craft is fine. Its new. I have 4 other batteries that fly and charge fine. These batteries failed pretty much right outta the box.

Yes, sir Mike, you need a refund! Safety First! Ken.

Exactly the same story, here. Brand new out of the box I1 V2.0 1st battery charge installed and got SMOKE tested. Bird was fine, TB47 that came with it it charged and is working and both flying, The distributor swapped it out and gave me a refund!? AM I lucky or what?

Yo, airport dog I'm glad it did not damage your Inspire and your dealer was a gentleman! Safety First! Ken.

Anyone else losing TB48's??

Cheers

Maybe you have some sort of strong magical energy.  My 4x TB48s work perfectly.  Unfortunately, I get as much flight time as the Spark.
