Hello All,
After a long hiatus from flying my drones (P4 with around 8 flights and a P4P with 0 flights), I was checking up on my batteries as I normally do to keep them in good shape and lo and behold I discovered a problem with both controllers:
The controllers, both of them would charge to 3 led lights and then turn off.... I connected them to the GoApp4 and it mentioned a firmware update for both so I did that successfully.
But still same charging problem. After numerous connects and disconnects from the charger, I managed to get the 4 light leds to show up as in fully charged. But when I connect to the App, it shows both controllers battery around 80 to 85 percent....
If I charge them again, they stop after a while and the app still shows the same percentage....
I know that the batteries are in good condition as they were never used much and were never fully depleted.
Do you think I need to reflow the battery chip on the board inside both controllers? Will that fix the problem? Or is there anything else I can try before doing that?
No warranty on both drones btw.
Thank you kindly in advance.
