My remote stops charging at two lights--Phantom 3 Advanced about 2 yrs. old???  Does anyone have a fix?

You could drain it right down then try recharging it. That might trigger a fix.

Use the onboard flight SIM to run the RC battery down to minimum...

Yea--I may have to do that---My P3A is at least 2 years old --way past warranty.  I may have to bite the bullet.

I am now getting 3 lights on my remote and it flys for over 45 mins with a full charge (4 lights show but 4th light goes out immediately).  Could the reason the fourth light does not light up is because of the age (2 yrs old)???

Ran my remote battery down 2 times in the last 2 days and then charged overnight last night and now all 4 lights show that it is fully charged.  Will fly this weekend to see if it is truly fully charged.   

Has this happened with anyone else?  Is it OK now?  Time will tell.

Flew today---after about 60 seconds 4th light went out in remote.  Flew a battery down to 35% while 3rd light was blinking on remote.  Do you think it is the battery in the remote?  Should I send it for repairs?

Marv, could the RC be fully charged when connected to the charger? Which mobile device do you connect?  It might be different when connected with different kinds of mobile devices, see if it is this case.
