controller and my two drone batteries won't charge past 2 bars any help would be great

How old is your rc n battery?

12 months old

Hello there, do you use the original charger? How about fully discharging the battery and recharging?

I left the drone for about 8 months untouched maybe the battries are knackered

Try discharging followed by a recharge.  If you're not using your drone for an extended period you should charge the battery & controller fully at least once every month or two.  The batteries will automatically discharge to a storage level.  The RC you would have to do manually as it lacks the aito-discharge feature of the batteries.  Optimum storage charge is 50-65%.  All of my P2 batteries save one are still airworthy still after 3.5 years.  My eight P3 batteries are 2 years old but a couple are getting a  bit spotty.  P4/Mavic packs are all a year old & going strong.  They usually last for a while if you take care of them.

Good to know especially since you've done it for 3 years. Thinking of doing the same as I go along. I checked my batteries recently and all good after two weeks of not flying. I'll keep tabs on them and charge them monthly.
