Well he we are again - having just binned 8 batteries this last 6 months due to hibernation and battery death, I had 2 new TB47s out of the box today........WONT charge !!

SIGHHHHHH.....why dont DJI bin this disastrous battery design and design one that :

1. actually works
2. actually charges
3. doesnt suffer catastrophic voltage drop
4. doesnt hibernate when you take your eyes off it for 5 mins
5. doesnt suffer from battery death syndrome

i badly need batteries and i just dont know where to go with this, who do you trust ??.....I just dare not spend ridiculous money on any quantity as we know most of them wont work. We have no idea how long suppliers have had them lying around festering until they can be opened and go into immediate death or hibernation...

what do we do ??

without a doubt the dumbest smart battery ever made

you must be very unlucky indeed ...i have had no issues with mine and sometimes can't fly for months ..(scottish weather).

I'm sorry to hear. Could you please clarify how long, roughly, you had those 8 batteries? What firmware were you running? Did you receive these TB47 batteries from the DJI Website or from a dealer? If you just got these two TB47s, have you contacted either the dealer you bought them from or the Europe Support team to seed replacements?

Make sure you charge your battery every month. It's basically death sentence for your Inspire batteries if you let it sit six months.

8 tb 47's and only 1 doa... you must have a curse on you....maybe the gods are telling you to get a Inspire 2?
