Hello,

My battery is off warranty.  It doesn't have issues charging up, but when I put it in my P4 I get a battery error on the DJI Go 4 app with intructions to bring the power down to 5% and then charge it back up again.  My big probelm is, how do I use up the battery power if it won't even allow me to spin the props on my P4?  It turns on the P4, but it will take several hours just to try and wear down the battery and someone mentioned that such a slow draw will not drain the battery down to where I need it.

Without investing in any other products, is there a way for me to overide the error and at the very least, get the props to spin on the P4 so that I can drain the battery faster?

Thanking everyone in advance!

I would just ignore that message and recharge the battery as is.

Just leave it on and play with the Simulator, or mess with the camera for a  while.  It will wear down.  Don't have to spin the props.

Be careful with battery errors, don't override warnings. Check the cells charge and voltage and do a battery calibration if needed, than check again

You can utilize the onboard flight SIM to drain your flight packs, or rather to "deep cycle" them batteries.

Plenty of dischargers on eBay for all P4 and P3's ....................

No need to heat up the AC and its quicker / safer as the dischargers are set to auto shut off before too deep a discharge.

You could of course get a lamp and two wires ... switch on battery ... connect the lamp to the main power points and run it down that way - but its a risky venture !
