Hello DJI

So my Phantom4ProPlus controller just started to charge up to 2 bars and the battery will drain rather fast 20 Mins it will last or just about if you put everything in low settings.


The controller is brand new no damage or anything still has all the stickers on it. I have had it around a year and a half now so its perfect

But when you charge it the bars will only reach 2 bars and that is it .

Has anyone else had this issue or what did they do to fix this

I had uploaded an image so you understand what I am on about !

The battery has come defective. RIP DRONE
I am thinking this is a Software issue rather than a battery as I have had it a year and a half and no issues until now. The software never gets updated for the Pro Plus controller and DJI just stopped all support for it RIP. I have the old DJI app and crappy android 4.0 version WOST. I think if it was a faulty battery it would of just died right away either the software is not working propperly. Or the battery 100% is messed up

Just use DuplicateFilesDeleter, It is a great power packed tool which helps you to remove any duplicate files.

The battery is bad in the RC, You need to do 1 or 2 thing, have someone open up the RC to put a new battery in it or send it back to DJI to repair it.

Put charger to remote , turn remote On , be patient , When you see the 3 light blink you can now turn off the remote, please note it will take almost 2 hours to reach full charge

Alright were at 1 bar as soon as I take the charger out it starts beeping like its gonna die. We will see if your solution works. But what was the cause for yourself may I ask ?

Yes basically now its at 1 bar and as soon as you unplug its dead RIP it starts beeping it needs constant power to the RC. Nothing is damaged what so ever ! has anything like this happened in the past ?
