Phantom 4 battery issues

[omid B]

Has anyone had this problem??
I have a phantom 4 pro that I've used for about maybe 2 hours. Today after a year of sitting in the box I went to charge the battery for flight and none of the lights on the battery turned on. I know the power plug is good because I charged the remote controller. I left the battery plugged in for few hours and still nothing. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

Agree----I like to keep my battery's thick as a brick,don't want them to know more than me,,have never updated any firmware to battery's so they stay normal for me ,,in saying that it's probly done automatically with the firmware we install ,,

I have no lights at all? Should I keep it plugged in overnight?

I not 2 sure ,how long was it in box for,was it charged or low, do you get any light when holding the button on for at least 5 sec, bit risky leaving on all night unless temperature stays normal or like me got go have a wee in the night,or 2, if real clever some have carefully open battery to bypass the circut with a trickle charger just to get some life back,,but this method comes with a big warning,not short anything out,lipos bit nasty like that,,might have to bite the bullet and get another battery at least for spare

Yeah it was stored for almost a year and not sure how full the charge was. In my opinion it's a dumb a s s of a battery for the price. No choice but to buy another piece of garbage [emoji35]

YUP... Same thing happened to me.. All 3 of the batteries went to sleep. Permanently... Have tried this, but never had them return. Not my personal ones, but none the less... That's what I get for not listening to the 'Friday Fly Day" rule...... Wont make that mistake again, now I fly each battery one full time every Friday before I go home...
