Thanks to all who have posted responses. I don’t have the expertise to open up the battery so it Looks like I need to buy a new battery. Any thoughts about aftermarket on Amazon vs DJI version for twice as much?

I have two Phantom 3 batteries that were not charged for several years when my son had the drone but didn't fly it. One is the original DJI battery. One is an aftermarket one that I bought for backup. I have tried to charge them both for a full day but they don't take a charge. I'm trying to...

Also I flew the P3 with the battery and hovered it for enough time to discharge the battery down to 10%. Flew fine.

I imagine you have previously posted on this issue -- "Battery Error." you should land as soon as possible etc. This happened to me with my P3S today.. The same message came on both of my batteries. Both fully charged. On on the voltage of one cell was 3.65 while the other 3 it was 3.74 and...

Sorry if I should start a new string but this question is pretty closely related to what you've been discussing (which I appreciated reading): Say you are a Part 107 pilot and want to fly in an air classification which has the Upside down wedding cake configuration (like Class B or C or Class E...

I've read some posts that suggest that when you recalibrate the IMU bad things happen (mostly P4 posts). If all seems good when I fly should I risk the IMU calibration ? Or does that risk one of the many horror stories I read about as to flyaways? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

How do you know if you have the latest firmware on AC, RC, and gimbal? After buying my P3Standard in late December I did an update going through the steps and got the camera lights, wiggle and eventually the correct finishing tone sequence. Does that mean all three things were updated? Also...

I believe there at least two companies making replacements . Not sure of the spelling. PowerEx and Boondoogle (?). They run less than 100$. Generally good reviews but I've been leery. Can you determine if the Best Buy ones are genuine DJI OEM? Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots
