Yes, I have at least 1 working battery thankfully, weather or not remains to be seen, I'm guessing I can kind of check its health via the flying app?. started the motors his the app and camera view seems fine. Going to look at the app later to see what into the the drones health I can get.

I was thinking that as pretty sure it was marked as "all in good working order", which it's not. However unknown to me, after I'd arranged to meet locally to collect they had pulled the ad than marked it as sold, so nowhere to go with that thought sadly. Just wish I'd have known the battery...
