I'm still learning please forgive me if this is a basic question. How do I update the Phantom 4 pro extended battery and the basic Phantom 4 batteries?  Can this be done using DJI Assistant 2 ?

Thanks

Once you have updated the phantom firmware just power down and change the battery.  If the battery needs updating the opening screen of the Go app will say something like "Inconsistant firmware" and update the battery.  Do this for each of your batteries.  It doesn't require Assistant 2.

He asked HOW to update the battery - you did not answer the question, I would like to know as well.

Actually, hummingbird answered the question and wrote the steps to update a battery that needs updating. Just follow the steps... If the battery needed the update you will see its center two leds blinking for a shor† time, then it will be all...  power down and restart with a new battery.

It will say "inconsistent firmware" and then asks if you want to update.  There is a slider to acknowledge if you want to update or not.  Slide it to start the update.  This really messed me up because I had trouble with this past update and my AC and RC were in two different states.  I thought I had that fixed, took it out to fly and it said inconsistent firmware.  I thought I still had the same problem.  It would help if it said, "battery has inconsistent firmware"!  I spent hours trying to figure out a problem I didn't actually have!  Not impressed with DJI at the moment!  Been trying to fly all long weekend (Canada Day) and haven't lifted off yet!

As stated above, if there is an update available you will be notified at the battery icon in the "GO App and the update will start automatically. Battery update usually comes along with a new firmware update. If you have several batteries you can do a re-boot with each battery.

But I would not have the new software I would like to put in the battery the software that I now have.
Is this possible or just the latest software that destroys everything ?

if you have already used your battery with the firmware you already have in the drone, there is no need to update the batteries as they are already updated to that software -otherwise you would have had a few alerts telling you to update them.

The battery updates come along with the new firmware updates. Your battery are up to date with whatever version you are running. If there are any new battery updates you will have to update to the newer version. Hope this helps.

This is the question that will come up if the battery needs updated.  Swipe the blue bar.  It only updates the battery to the current firmware of the aircraft.  It does not change anything else.

Just got a new battery from Santa for P4A.   Charged it up and checked it out yesterday.   All Fine.   No update was required, which surprised me.
