Hello,
so I am trying to determine how long lasting the phantom 3 batteries are and therefore am curious to know how much the batteries degrade after about a year(since release).
I would also be delighted if you could post charge cycles so as to establish some coparability.

Thank you!

Funny you ask

I've just had an original battery from 4/15 (which arrived 6/15)
39 charges - give me a ' cell damaged ' error

I feel sorry for you :/ Did you notice degradation beforehand or was it sudden?

I have 2 batteries from June and July 2015. Together they have been used for 175 flights. Did some deep discharges but not every 20 flights. Ran down to zero a couple of times. They now have a 93 and 92 % "battery life" according to Helthydrones.com
