I have a batt with 90 charge cycles that dies fast. Is there any way to refresh the battery life, return for some type of credit somewhere or is it destined for the recycle bin?

I wouldn't think the motors would be so hot by the time you land, swap batteries and get ready to launch again.

here's the same, found on ebay today. Same I used. 5 Pcs 3.2x4.2x2.5mm Panel Momentary Tactile Tact Push Button Switch 4Terminals 601382202114 | eBay

How about an app called CAVU, it's got a 5 min trial version (otherwise 11.99). You can have a screen in the corner for external view while still looking in FPV.

Your advice sounds good. What about the charge cycles when you do not use the A/C. This reduces the battery life, yes?

thanks for the info. Im gonna keep a close eye on that voltage level.

I haven't flown it that much as charge cycle shows. Sometimes weather or another reason did not make it to fly. Is this counter re settable?

I use the default settings of 30 / 10. I had read also that DJI sets the batteries for 200 charge cycles.

So 2 bars means it has half it's life left? What does the battery info from the app say about the health of the battery?

If I turn on the battery with 2 pushes of the button (like I'm gonna power up) it shows 4 bars. What got me is the low voltage warning and immediate descend. Like I stated, I have never seen an issue before. I read that holding the button until it flashes will show you how good your battery is...

I was flying my P3S and received a low voltage warning for the first time ever. Thankfully It was very close by because it auto landed. Battery was at 36% and voltage at 14.64V. Each cell was 3.8v. I saw a tip about holding down battery button to see how many leds light up and I only see two...

Yes, it's all in the antennas and then the area you fly as a determining factor on range

Yes, I used a coat hanger for the mount bought 3 dual band antennas and the pigtail leads. Range was slightly better than stock. I made 2 longe range 2.4 and one 5.8 antennas from scratch and saw 50% better range in my neighbor hood. I want to build some high gain panel antennas next

It seems that anywhere that would be interesting to take some nice pictures of is off limits. Really kills the enjoyment of the hobby

I made an argtek style kit for around $10. :)
