Phantom3 battery falls to the ground

[P3user]

What happens if my battery falls 30 centimeter(1 feet) on the hard ground?
Should I change the battery or not? Pls help me I don't want to crash my drone.

If there is no sign of physical damage, it hasn’t swollen and holds charge all should be good.

Hello and WELCOME to the forum.

As stated above, if no obvious damage try charging it and running it in your aircraft in a safe (low) manner. If it seems fine give it a whirl. If ANYTHING seems wrong or out of the ordinary dispose of it. It's a single failure point of the aircraft so if you can't trust it don't use it.

If you are going to keep the battery, you should get a fire resistant storage bag for. You may want to watch this video
