Hi All

Read some feedback on the battery issues.....but not what I wanted.

Here goes, my P4P V2 is 14 mths old, recently the original batteries started to expand. Was told not to use, so I bought new batteries. After charging the new batteries, put into the drone and guess what, Cannot Take Off sign appeared, overall status read, "Battery not installed properly, unable to take off. Check and reinstalled battery."

Read up on the froum, some says contact point issues, just push it in again should be fine. Well, I did that and the "Cannot Take Off" sign disappear. Horray, I thought it was solved. Once I take off, darn, the rear green blinking light turn into solid red. Everything elase on the screen looks normal. Since it was showing red instead of the normal blinking green, decided to play safe and not to fly.

So, does anyone have the same issues ? What can I do so that I can fly safely. have feed back to the vendor, they says they will check with HQ.

One thing though, the batteries works well with my Version 1 P4P pro. Thanks for your reply.

Battery not install

Cannot take off

Gap

You have to discharge the battery completely, recycle it, and use one that doesn't have cancer.

maybe you should check for bent contacts in the drone and on the battery.
but, what I see is a battery in a pic that is not plugged in correctly all the way into the drone.
there should not be any gap between battery body and drone body.
when you snap the battery into the drone there should be 2 clicks securing the battery in place.

that's as far as the battery can sit.....worst case is to sand the side down using grade 1 paper......until HQ replies.

Shut up and stop giving stupid advice. Sick Dawg has the right answer.

That's ok if critical flight doesn't matter.  Crash landing on people and property could lead to a lot of bunch of problems.

I had a battery explode in flight when I was on my racer quad but it was when I was near me on the way back.  It started to smoke after the pop and I tossed it.  Some batteries may never pop but it's a risk you have to take when you want to save money.

Hi there. Please check if the battery buckle is properly mounted. To ensure that the battery is mounted properly, the Phantom 4 Pro has built-in a detector inside the battery compartment. Also, try using a dry tissue to wipe the metal contact pins on the battery and the contact pins in the battery compartment. If you have extra batteries, please check if it shows the same issue. Have a great day ahead.
