Bought the Phantom 4 pro, 3 batteries and the 3 bay charger about 4 months ago. All worked great, until I put all 3 batteries in the 3 bay at storage mode because I was not using them for the next month. Now I want try to charge the batteries for an upcoming job, I switched the switch from storage back to charging on the 3 bay charger and only one battery charged. The other two are not charging. I waited 24 hours and nothing. The LED from the batteries are blinking fast, faster than when the charge, and it is only one LED that is blinking.
  
The I called customer help and they tell me the batteries are over overcharged ????? Before I called I put the batteries in the drone and the remote stated the batteries are 10 and 12%. I asked the guy on the phone if he knows what he was talking about (overcharged in storage mode??) and he just disconnected me, unbelievable. After calling again i was told the batteries are under charged?? Now i am losing it. DJI recommends to store the batteries in the 3 bay charger in storage mode, and now they are undercharged? There is nothing they can do and I have to send the batteries back to DJI. I just cannot believe this. Now I got connected to the 3 person how surpassingly is an expert, told him the same over again and I got disconnected again! Wow, can it cet worse?

DJI, like many other companies, employ untrained fools in a call centre, probably in some poor-as-dirt country to front their support line. These people know absolutely nothing about the product and fish out answers from a provided script.

Don't use the charging cradle, take the batteries, one at a time, and charge them individually. If they won't charge, try switching the battery on, then connect the charging lead direct to the battery.

Sir, I'm sincerely sorry for the unpleasant experience. Could you tell us your phone number when you contacted the Phone Support? We'll investigate and check the exact status.

As for the battery, is there any error message in APP? Please try to use the original charger to see whether they are charged properly. Also, please kindly offer a short video for better assistance. Thanks so much!

For a video submission, it would be appreciated to upload it to a file sharing site like Dropbox and paste the link in the email. Given your location, support.us@dji.com would be the best email to send it to and they can get a case started for you as well.

Update, one of the two batteries who did not work seems to work again? However it does not indicate that it is charging when you connect the charger, but it does charge. During charging the LED should indicate how far the battery is charged, like one LED on and the other 3 climbing up when it is empty (25% or less), and for instance 3 LED burning and the fourth blinking (75% or more), none of the batteries are doing this anymore. I wonder what the 3 bay did to the batteries in storage mode. I will never use it again. It messed up $540 worth of batteries, I am very upset about this.

I send an email, no response? I send the requested video via "We Transfer", no response. This is getting worse by the day, I am beginning to regret buying DJI.
