Once we update to a new firmware version, is it advisable to erase the .bin and .txt files from the SD card or not?

I read somewhere that it's better to leave the files there, and in another article I read that we should erase them, otherwise they may cause problems.

Hi! You should delete them or otherwise every time that you turn on the aircraft it will check the firmware version, you will just loose time for the aircraft initialisation.

What about the "intelligent" batteries?   If I buy a new battery (That might well be a new "old" battery) wouldn't it have to be updated, or will the firmware in the Phantom take care of that?

Thanks.

I think that for update the battery's firmware you should put into the microSD the .bin

Raven , You are better to have a Blank SD card for the 99.999 % of the time you are flying.  If you get a new battery simply load the Latest FW version to the SD card and update the battery, then re format and have it ready for recording.

Yes , the updating is the same for the Phantom Advanced and Pro.  They  have their own individual updates that are specific for each model, even though numbers are the same.  yes the RC needs updating also.  Please open my tips page for tips on this.

Thank you for the info. Is the bin file for the new firmware the same one that we upload into the remote?

Thanks Donnie and Nicola90s for the info.

If someone can please tell me what version is supposed to be installed on the controller? Got 1.7 on P3 tried to update controller just staged with red light then started beeping. Dji app shows my controller with a 1.5 version.  I'm I good to go. Thanks again.

How do you update the firmware on a new battery on a  standard as it through the app not via the sd card.
