Hi all, we have just recieved our new Matrice 300 which has only a handfull of hours on one set of batteries. The other set when put in the unit has had no cycles at all and came with 8% charge.
It comes up with an audible error when plaace in the charging unit. I have updated all firmware and plugged the remote into the box charger for updates. I read here about discharging to zero which we have completed but the batteries would not turn off as they should in the unit. Hold once hold again the power light goes off but batteries still blinking away....
They are both still on blinking 1 green bar with zero charge and I cannot turn them off to try and recharge them, any body else have this same issue. Looking for assistance please.
Discharging a battery to 0% is the worst thing to do.
When the battery refuses to charge and the charger beeps, often all you have to do is put the battery in the drone, turn it on, let it do its init. and then turn it off.
And if you just got the drone, it's probably not new. It's been at least a year since the M300 batteries have been off the market, you can only find the M350 ones (which are compatible).
It's a safe bet that the owner didn't cycle the batteries every 3 months as recommended. |
