It appears id the battery need an update.. Do you use multiple batteries? They need doing one by one.. Put the lkatest firmware on the SD and power the P3 on, it takes about 203 minutes.

If you upgrade and then power down insert a new battery and boot up you get an error. Must be some other way?

As Splooge states, Make sure you keep your firmware on your MicroSD card when you are installing all your new batteries.....it must be there for your batteries to updae

You need to update every battery, no way around it.

So I updated the battery and now I getting a red flag that the aircraft has to be updated. But if I put the other battery in it states everything is up to date.

I just purchased a new battery and it requires an update but I watched a vid o and the battery lights were supposed to flash, this did not occur. I wonder if the battery saw update is loaded on v1.5.bin

Everything is fine.
Before I had used the Battery I had upgraded the firmware in Aircraft, Controller and Gimbal to V1.5..
When I was off on a mission, I could have kicked the machine a mile because the job I wanted to do required three batteries and 1 had the "Upgrade required"

Came home, removed the SD card, copied all the files on the card to my computer and made the card "fresh" with only the .bin file in the root directory.
Reinserted the card into the Aircraft with the offending battery. Powered it on and the battery upgraded. I did not see the lights flash Like I had seen on a "Battery upgrade Youtube" but when I reconnected it to the controller, the upgrade warning was gone and the aircraft was ready to fly.
Good Luck
