You'll have to explain what your complaint is if you want anyone to understand.

For mine, I think the Phantom flies better with the DJI battery than without it.

I also tried a 4WD battery with jumper leads but I found the altitude limitations too restrictive.

If you're talking about the battery not discharging after the time set, you have to make sure you don't press the button on the battery otherwise the timer will reset.

1. Fly till battery is discharged.
2. Remove battery and connect charger to it.
3. When fully charged, put back into P4.
4. Go to step 1.

AFAIK, the only flight mode available without the DJI battery is free fall.

The smart battery is actually smarter than us??

Sorry, stupid joke {:4_177:}

It's good to know that sometimes we can have a nice laugh while discussing what causes a bird to crack or a prop pops out or even a freefall. And I'm not talking about laughing at our dearest OP. Peace.

I never trusted the smart battery either, just I like I do not trust politicians.. but as it's necessary to have, I just deal with it..  U cannot fly without a battery, just as you cannot run a country without politicians.. Unless someone figures it out, just deal with it and fly a lot while the aircraft is in warranty period - this way, if it crashes not due to pilot error, DJI will repair or replace....
As for generic trust issues..  well, a battery psychologist would be nice, especially if they will also be willing to work with the pilot....
Good Luck there

Please land before the battery is actually discharged.. if you wait till it's actually discharged, you will land, but taking off again may be challenging....  I usually try not to fly much below 20%, if you want to deep discharge, maybe fly it to 15 or so, then finish the process on the ground with no props on....

I am sorry you are having an issue,
can you please explain why you do not trust your OEM DJI battery?
How did the battery lie to you?
And what is not working about the charge/discharge process.

Thanks Ken for not deleting this thread. Maybe the OP's been busy. Let's wait awhile until he gets back to us. Maybe he's giving the battery another chance. Peace.

Well I've got a problem with a battery @Ken.

I have seen it going around, I was actually looking for a thread on it and I am sure there is one but I am having a crack in my battery at the top like some of the other around here.

Now, I thought at first it was the new "Part 54" battery but the only battery I have that little crack on is my "Part 7" battery.  Granted, it has the most flights but whats up with this?

There is a crack in the center in the EXACT spot that others are reporting although mine is on a Part 7.
This image is taken from a Part 7 battery with less than 15 flights.  Maybe even less than 10.
