Battery discharger no longer working

[leglessmatt]

Hi All,

A few months ago i brought one of those battery dischargers with the bulb that plugs into the phantom 3 battery to discharge it for storage.

I've just updated to the latest firmware (1.6 i think) and the discharger no longer works - the bulb flashes once then the blue led stays lit.

Does anyone recommend these dischargers?

The only thing i can think of is that a battery firmware update has made them stop working.

Cheers, happy xmas.

I have no opinion about the discharger but I can't for the life of me understand why you thought you needed one??

To long store your batteries at 3.85 volts/cell.

Exactly this, it already has a discharge feature built in, and you could just run it down anyways.

They are helpful when you need to cycle a battery.

What about the Dji app u can set it to discharge after 3days but does it really work...I have mine set at 3days I don't think it works anyone else know about this thax

It does work. It'll take a few days for the discharge process to complete. And, if you press the battery button, that 3-day period will be reset.

True, but the original poster asked specifically about storage.

The auto-discharge on these batteries works very well, and there is absolutely no need to accelerate the discharge for storage.

To test the TELESIN discharger ... switch on battery .... plug in discharger ... plug in Mobile phone charge lead and your Mobile phone. If it starts to charge - discharger is working fine.

With lamp - if it then doesn't work - you need a new lamp.

If it doesn't - then discharger is faulty.

Also take note that if you set switch at 15V - then when it hits that - it stops working. If you set to discharge it will stop at 3.3v per cell ... TOO low on such slow discharge.
