Thanks bro 🤙🏾. I just got one yesterday and your video was really helpful 💯👍🏾
Love your very very informative videos.
Thanks for the video. I saw a table where it says keeping battery at 40% charge (which you've mentioned) AND at 0 degrees Celcius (which is probably a bit too low) reduces battery life to only 98% after 1 year. Any other combination of higher temp and charge greatly reduces battery life (up to 60% after 3 months only with 60 degrees and 100% charge). My question is: do you think keeping battery in a fridge (not freezer) is advisable? It should be as we have around +5-8 degrees in standard fridge.
Very well done video, Tom! Clear and concise. May be you should approach DJI and get sponsored by them and allow them to use your tutorials on their site???
Amir Neshati he doesn't want to be affiliated with DJI because people think that he is biased.
Good and useful info. Thank you 👍👍
Nice and easy to understand, thanks for sharing :)
Hi Tom, thanks for the great information. One quick question. What percentage will the battery discharge to after I've set the 'Time to Discharge' in the DJI app. Is there somewhere I have to enter a percentage amount? Thanks
Great tutorial. Can you change the level that battery discharge to if automatically discharging?
great videos. All of them extremely informational, straight to the point and easy to understand. keep it up. Is there a way to charge a phantom 3 battery on a 4 button charger? I have been flying with the normal LIPO batteries and have gotten use to using it. With being able to discharge, store and balance charge. Any info or thoughts would be great.
Thanks for the video. One quick question if you don't mind... I have 2 batteries, so if I have a battery in and change the discharge time down to 3 days or whatever, how do I know it's confirmed? Is there an OK button in the app letting me know the info was sent to the battery? One of my batteries looks like it's draining properly but the other is fully charged after a week. Do you put each battery in and set the setting? And again, how do you know it's been applied? Thank you in advance!
Why not charge both batteries at the same time? Controller & flight battery? Great video by the way. Thanks!
Tom, Great Videos! My Question : How do I correct an issue with a battery which is not a brand DJI but came with my Phantom 3 Standard. It reads battery error. no signal when brought up on the DJI app. has this come up before in your experiences? Thanks
How often should I do a cycle while in storage?
Do I need to?
I shall definitely recommend this channel to any and all DJI Phantom pilots out there. Very detailed and extremely helpful tutorials and videos.
Sweet
Appreciate your work man. I am watching all your tutorials before i open my Phantom 4Pro which I purchased recently
tom, what do i use to cover the battery opening when i dont have my batteries in the drone? i live in a dusty place and go to wet humid muddy ones.. it seems pretty easy for dust to get in that opening. i saw one on ebay but it was for the phantom 2. i have the 3advanced. thanks.
one common question. can i use the battery upto 0% while i fly? As we are to maintain 20% threshold for battery safety, I want to know when it says 0% in the DJIGO app is it really 0% battery capacity, or DJI have set actual 20% to appear 0% in the DJIGO app for the safety user ease? when i use to 35% normally i get around 15min flight time but many say we get 20-22min i wonder if they are flying all the battery they got?
Hey Tom, how do I safely dispose of a DJI Phantom LiPo battery when it can no longer be used? (I am currently in the U.K) Also, in the event of a DJI Phantom LiPo fire what is a good way of safely extinguishing/containing it? Thanks
nice work!!!!!
Would some of your tips also work on the P2 batteries?
Very Good video...
Good one Tom
Is a generic battery charger fine? Should I look out for any specific features when it comes to voltage and amperage?
Hi, I would like to ask you for information. I have a phantom 3 adv, with three original batteries. Lately, after setting the automatic discharge after three days, the battery LEDs always show me the maximum charge, without ever decreasing even after several days. What could it be? It is a problem for me, because when I should charge them, after a long inactivity, the battery charger detects them when they really aren't.
Hello Herr Thomas,
Can I Leave the battery in use always attached to the drone?
Another thing is, Can I choose the number of days that will automatically discharge? How can I Be sure that it will drop to exaclty 8%?
thanks
Thanks for your helpful video!
im planning to travel this coming april. My concern it is save to plug charger 220v ac input? Here in the USA we have 110 ac input. is there in time different to fully charge? thank tom...
I have got my new phantom 4 yesterday but battery is not charging ! Anyway it's good to know how to fix it
Hi If I do not use
my P3 for several weeks I discharge the battery has 50% but can I leave
it inside the drone or it is better to leave it outside?
does everything covered in the video apply to the p4p?
Do you know if my battery is at say 50%, can I store it just sitting in the Phantom 4 (all turned off)? Or shall I always store my batteries disconnected?
Hi..ive had my phantom 3 in the cuboard for 3 years and now decided to use it again but my battery for the drone won’t charge,any ideas on how to get it working again?
do u have to leave the battery in the copter to discharge, does it have to be on, what about the controller on or off, u left out some important info, thx
do you have examples of maintenance of a battery with 80x or more usage?
Coz I (we) need that information morethan a new battery... :)
Will the battery automaticaly discharge out of the drone too
Thank you!
You are taking abut pilot app, is it Dji Go app?
Tom
I have a problem. Had not used my Phantom 4 in over a year. Battery would not take a charge. Bought new replacement and charged it
It turns on but quickly turns off. The same problem with the remote controller. What might be the problem and how do I fix it
Hi, I have a problem with my Phantom 3 battery, when I try to charge it, it flashes 3 times the first green led and the red circle, but it wont charge, it is not hot, and it has 3 flights.
hope you can help me.
thanks
I have a Phantom 3 Advance but I haven't flown it for more than three years due to health issues, story short I tried this past weekend to charge up the drone battery but was unable to. Do you have any suggestions to remedy this problem.
I owe you a Beer and carne asada burrito. Great video!
Tom: What about after a flight & lets say your battery is now at 28%, weather turned bad so I know I;m not going to fly for 2-3 days. Is it wise to leave this battery at 28% & charge it closer to my known next flight day?
Hey TOM why cant i see the battery life % on DJI GO APP FOR IPHONE 6 ?? :-( is there an alternative way to know how healthy is the battery?
Hi how long can you store away your battery if you dont use your drone?
When i use the first discharge option
My camera gets very hot
P3std
Is this normal
Can i still use this option?
Thank you 😊.
Good day I consult you in the last flight of phantom 3st me frame critical battery was at 50% load began to descend. then I turned it off and turned it on again and it went well. which it can be. The battery has 19 loads and 4 or 5 years. Do you have a solution? Thank you
Um if I've left them for over 2 year's will they charge or be any good
Great video! thanks! I have 5 batteries for my Phantom. It seems when I don't use for 4 to 5 days when I put them in they only read 60 o 70%? I always charge them after use. Let them cool down then store in my bag. I am going on a backpack trip for couple weeks in the mts and want to have 100% batteries. They have only been charged 5 times so are pretty new...HELP!!
+natserog - hey bro those smart battery has a feature built in where u didn't use it for days after the full charge then it will slowly discharge them to 60%, default is set to 10 days if not mistaken.
They automatically discharge to 65 after a set amount of days in the dji app
Is it okay to store the Phantom 3 standard battery at less than 40% charge?
Do you have to set those battery settings (for example, the days to discharge) for each battery? Or are they applied when you use the battery in the same drone w/same app device?
+Kevin Carlson I had to set them for each and every battery one after another. Stay tuned and fly safe!
what if the times charged says 23 ? I discharge the battery to 8% then charge it, and next time to dischage the battery to 8% should be at 43 right? will the battery have some damage for not discharging it at 20 times charged ?
What if I downloaded the wrong firmware onto my copter and controller, can I just redo it with the right firmware or am I stuck?
Nice tutorial! I have a doubt, I do not fly very often, maybe once a week, so I have to keep the battery stored for 5-7 days usually. Should I keep it inside the drone or off it?
Kann man eigentlich mit dem aktuellsten Update der Batterien in der Phantom 3, die Motoren trotzdem manuell starten (per CSC), auch wenn das per Software unter 15° gesperrt ist?
Tom- Two questions on the time to discharge... Once the self discharge cycle has begun, you say it can take a few days before the batteries are discharged. To what level do the discharge, and is this minimum level adjustable in the settings? And, once the discharge cycle has begun, can you fly with, or begin charging the battery before it has completed its discharge cycle?
+TomVaillencourt - It will discharge to about 65% and the minimum discharged can't be adjusted. It's just how DJI set up the discharge percentage. It is not advisable to fly on a discharged state, it must be fully charge before use. It will stop the auto-discharge once you turn on the battery or you plugged the charger into it.
Thanks, I wouldn't normally fly with the battery less than fully charged, but i didn't know if you would have to wait for it to finish before starting a new charge cycle. Thanks for the info!!
Hi... great video. But when you set to discharge the battery for two days, then it discharges another two days... does that mean the battery will discharge to 0 percent?
+Daytona 6263 thank you for clearing that up... appreciate it.. thank you
Hi. I did 5 cycles on my battery (P3A) and it is showing total capacity = 4250 mAh. Is it normal? Many thanks
You say to never completely discharge a battery but DJI says to completely discharge it before flying in a plane. Do you think it should be completely discharged?
thank you
Hi I've got a thantom 3 drone I'm having troubles matching the drone so I can play the simulated can you please help
When buying a new battery what do I need to do
I set disc time to 8 days... after month 2 batteries was still on 97% -.- Why?
Sometimes i click button for check bat level can it be its stops batt disc?
I charged mine eight times & my battery life is 98%, was that okay? Should I discharge the battery always before another flight?
Thanks sir for this info.............
YEs- good info
*I got a Phantom 3 battery with a really nice discount of 64% here , i only paid US$63* www.banggood.com/search/phantom.html?p=J031143423240201512X

I'm sorry but I'm poorer than you ..... suscribe, and thumbs up.... It is all I can give you. good videos and very usefull thanks
I have around 90 cycles on three different batteries. It shows they all have around 79% total battery life left. How low can this number get before it's unsafe to use them.
Good morning , I live in Brazil and accompany your channel , I am a fan , I have a P4 , if you can take a doubt my .
After 20 charges always have to discharge up to 8 % or only occasionally .
Thank you very much.
Hello after 20 chargers, discharge th ebattery to 8% only 1 time, then again use th ebattery for another 20 times like usual, then at the 40, discharge again to 8% and so on ... hope i helped you , Happy Flying !
Thank you very much
No problem, Happy Fliying !
Can not find info for dicharging the transmitter battery for the phantom 3, every thing i see is for the flight battery. Can i get some info.
what is the best ipad for a phantom 4 please
How do you register a 2nd [or 3rd etc.] battery?When I put my new 2nd battery in the copter,the flight status page says something about needing a battery upgrade.
You have to perform the firmware update on all your batteries
I put my discharge on 2 days....its been about 3 weeks now and its still not started to discharge.. Any idea?
How can I know how many times each battery has been charged to watch out for the 20?? Does the APP tell you when each battery is inserted, OR am I to do this manually (remember for each one??)
The app tells you in battery info, inside DJI go app
There just coming up to 12 months old and I've only used them 17 times I've got 3 batteries but only 1 works to its full capacity
Hi
I have a message showing that the battery is damaged Can i fix it.
my battery has a full charge on my phantom 2 plus and as i start to fly it start to beep then i stop flying is the battery no good
Can anyone tell me what to do after flying and than knowing im not going to fly for a week...keep them at about 20% untill nextime or charge and discharge?
thanks
Does anyone know the problem with my battery and how to fix it? I plug it in and it flashes 3 times on LED 1 and then it does this in a pattern where it flashes for 3 times then goes dark for 3 seconds then flashes again. I can’t seem to get it to charge properly. Any help is appreciated thank you.
15c - 20c --- I live on the North East coast of the UK.... Well that's me screwed! lol Thanks for the video :)
What's considered a bad battery or when it's it time to recycle? I have 6 batteries, all have only 2 cells blinking when holding down the button for 5 sec, and they full capacity is around 4000mAh. Thanks!
Same question but I have my sit for 2 year's...
Hi Tom, very good tutorial. I'm new to this amazing hobby, I Just got my new P3 standard, I'm setting it up and I have a question... it is normal that the camera and the gimbal gets hot while the drone is on the ground?
yes a little.
I left my batteries on the shelf for 2 years. Now I have no lights. No indication it's taking a charge when plugged up to the charger. Are my batteries trash?
My phantom 3 standard batteries have chinese translations, and the fonts of the voltage and current are not large. is it fake. it is the one that is already on the drone when i bought it.
hi ,i would like to ask if the battery needs to discharged inside aircraft or outside ?
Use until you reach the storage % then remove from aircraft
I'm planning to fly my new phantom 3 standard at the Golden Gate Bridge,Grand Canyon,Yosemite Valley and many others.Is it legal cause its my first time there
Nope illegal in national parks
Don`t charge flight battery and remote controller at the same time? how can one of them know that I`m charging another?
Andrew Novitsky
this is bullshit.
Slower charging (discharging) is better for any battery.
If u charging both simultaneously,
took longer, but is better for battery life.
Great
If i programm to Fly after 2/3 days i recharge the battery at 70%.... But before flight i have to charge it to 100%?
So what do i do when I fly the dji down too like 10%? I want the batteries to last, please explain : )
Hi Cali, i wouldnt let the battery go down that low, as it will decrease battery life faster.... My advice it to use them to a limit of 25%, then if you not going to use, recharge them to 40%-50% and storage them in a cold( 10-28 Centigrades is ideal temperature) , shadow enviroment, and every 20 charges, discharge them down up to 8% and charge them again .
What do I do for long term storage several weeks no flying, to drone battery and also controller
Do nothing...The batteries will discharge. The controller will be fine
Did I miss it in the storage section?
What EFFING voltage do you store the batteries at !?!?!?!?!?
3.8V per cell is really good for long term storage
what is the song in the beginning
buddy question how do you turn on the sound for the camera recording....
+Cholo Callo Hey, P3 doesn't support recording audio. Stay tuned and fly safe!
Phantoms dont have sound u stooge
do i have to discharge battery if i use it everyday?
Just never leave it fully charged
Why can't you charge both the rc and the drone?
The faster charge time of the Pro model is a function of the Pro charger rather than the battery. The Pro charger is 100W while the Advanced is 57W
John Samtak Jup, that's true. I mentioned that in the unboxing already... Fly safe!
Tom's Tech Time I don't remember you mentioning that each battery must be inside the aircraft, turned on, and the pilot app open to set the battery discharge days. Also, can I change the Celsius to Fahrenheit on the aircraft battery screen?
I need help my phantom 2vision + batteries are only lasting 5 to 10 mins and I don't know what to do I've tried looking up the problem but can't seem to find anything 😖
+andrew hoddinott Did you fully discharge them after using them twenty times? How old are the batteries?
+andrew hoddinott Banggood sell some excellent batteries. I think this link takes you to one for the Phatom 3, but you can find it from their website. www.banggood.com/4500mAh-15_2V-4S-Intelligent-Flight-Battery-For-DJI-Phantom-3-Phantom-3-Standard-p-1027251.html?p=JQ26191551677201504Z
Thanks i'll have a look
why cant you charge both batteries (with different chargers) at the same time?
If u have the low wattage charger which comes with the advance u should only charge one thing at a time. With the high wattage charger u can charge both
The Phantom Professional battery only charges quicker because the charger is more powerful (100w vs 60w)
