    Rollback the firmware AC V01.03.0509 and RC

    Reading your post about your successful rollback of the AC firmware "0509" - That's fantastic! You've given me hope!! Can you please tell me where (web site), when and how you managed to roll back to "509", please? And if that site is still around? Many thanks in advance Marty

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!

    Is it even possible roll back software to a previous version (509) after a repair shop unasked for upgrade? I've heard of 'digdat' & 'dumldor' etc but does anyone here have positive feedback having successfully completed a rollback? And at which site/link? Both the above come with 'unsecure...

    Charging P4P batteries with 12v-240v invertor

    No worries. You could always avoid the need for "extra wire" by just placing both the AC battery, charger and inverter somewhere safe under the hood - slightly ajar - unless it was flooding type rainfall. Worked for me ?

    Charging P4P batteries with 12v-240v invertor

    Have done exactly what you wish to do - in outback WA - with good effect and on a much smaller inverter than you mentioned. I did find that it could not draw enough power through the cig. lighter socket and I had to hook it up directly to the vehicle battery via alligator clips. No worries and...

    P4P controller will not charge

    I too have done as you recommended some time ago but with only limited success. Yes, it does recharge to about 75%ish but requires several repeat charges to reach this level. Do you have success first go? And do you think I should :- A) give it another go or B) replace the battery? cheers

    Lost Drone found in the "Simpson Desert" (Remote Australia) - Is it yours?

    got a link to the actual website message? Or is that not allowed here? A quick google of 'Outback Camper' yielded nothing.....

    Are those intelligent batteries stupid?

    Precisely my experience too! So is it a 'built in' failure by the manufacturer? Surely it would increase the salvage opportunities if it 'auto landed' instead? (unless you're over water!)

    Are those intelligent batteries stupid?

    Cheers - appreciate that ! I have taken the rc apart once before to heat up the board when it wouldn't charge at all - and with some success. Wasn't sure if an rc battery could be bought separately? I am intending to ship the AC to a repair centre (Melb.) and get their best advice - would you...

    Are those intelligent batteries stupid?

    (you're up early! Must be the new 'travel bubble'!! ;) I'm in WA) Nah - batteries are 4 years old and that dud was operating perfectly that flight until it got down to a certain level and instead of landing automatically, it shut down the motors at height. If it's better to replace the...

    Are those intelligent batteries stupid?

    I wish this thread had been a week earlier!! :(( After watching my ac fall out of the sky during it's own induced RTH, the second pic shows a bad cell - could this have been the cause? are these Batteries now repairable or disposable? ie should I send it along with the ac to the repair...
