So 2 days ago I buy a used Phantom 2 Standard off ebay as my first drone to test the waters so to speak. It had 3 batteries with it as well as a range extender which should be useful for this model seeing as it's range is not great by today's standards.
The description stated it came with 3 batteries yet never commented on their status as to weather tested & working or not, simply that it came with 3 batteries. When I arranged the meet to collect the seller mentioned it was her late husband's and she didn't know to much except to mention the conditions the batteries should be kept it charge wise if being stored for any period.
Anyways, I get it home and have a look at everything 1 battery has 2 lights, so I charge this first, fully charged no issue.
The next battery has no light and does not respond in any way when the charger is plugged in and left for any period, not sure what hope there is for this battery as in looking some say it's dead some way there may be a fix, some way it can be reset but not straight forwards etc.
the third battery has a red light and 1 green light on the level gauge that flashes several times when pressed. Pudding the charger in makes it flash several times then all lights go off.
So in the first instance I'm hoping getting the 3rd battery charging is possible but unsure how unless anyone has any suggestions to get the last battery charging.
but is there any hope for the 2nd that won't show any signs of life?.
