    False battery temp reading and fast discharge

    Sorry guys. I'm not a very good contributor. I never did make a follow-up post. Here's the rest of the story: The Amazon seller from whom I bought the battery that failed refunded my money without requiring return of the battery, so I had the opportunity to disassemble it for a post-mortem...

    False battery temp reading and fast discharge

    Hi all, I'm new to the Phantom, having only had mine for a week or so, and hoping that I'm just missing something obvious here. I've spent a good amount of time and effort searching here and elsewhere for evidence that someone else has had this issue, but to no avail. Here's the situation: I...
