I can't check exactly what version as the battery doesn't boot but I last updated it after the update to fix the big voltage level issue.
So to recap, V200 firmware version was first released by accident.. with bugs.
The firmware was recalled and then re-released.
The firmware addressed some issues with the batteries.
V300 (the latest one) has again re-introduced battery issues. A lot of people have mentioned that the latest firmware bricked their batteries, or made them suddenly drop to 0% mid-flight, or even show as "N/A"
One user posted here on the forums that he had 13 batteries in total destroyed that way and DJI did not offer to replace.
So if you have still battery warranty left, send them to DJI (the warranty period is 6months)
If you dont have warranty anymore, then I am afraid you will have to go and buy new batteries, despite there being no guarantee that the new batteries won't break too, BUT at least you then have the warranty and can send them back immediately.
Obviously this is a wierd situation and many are wondering what the hell DJI are doing. At the same time remember that DJI has been drowned in corruption problems with as many a 52 of their staff overcharging customer for parts and what not for their own personal gain. It has cost them, wait for it: over $150m in lost revenue due to internal corruption, blaming poor controls and internal processes.
So yea, make of that what you will, the battery situation is a complete disaster and DJI wont help you
