Checking on a Battery when bought from Ebay

[Cabunag60]

I have just bought a Phantom 3 Advanced from Ebay, the seller said he had only used it for 30 mins and found it was not for him.

I believe that the battery keeps a record of times charged, will i be able to tell if it has been just been used for a short time, I payed a little more because of this, thanks.

In the GO app, you can check how many times the battery has been cycled. I would not expect a battery that has only been flown for 30 mins to have more than 2 cycles.

If you fly the battery and upload the log to Healthy Drones you will get charge cycles, total airtime and capacity info (including cell balance).

Many thanks it just in case i have been told a Fairy Story about the usage.

That number increments each time the battery is charged 100%. Since the battery is never completely depleted, that means it would take at least two charges to increment the count by one.

Thanks for that.
