Issues with battery

[rallin0s]

Hi Guys, I'm having issues with my battery. I bought it used with a phantom that was crashed, this caused an issue with the smart board in it. I picked up a new smart board from Banggood.com.

Upon installation of the new board I get the following.

4 green lights indicating full charge
4 counting lights and then an immediate power off.

I've emailed the seller and am waiting for a reply.

If anyone has some spare authentic smart boards I would be willing to buy one.

If I were you... I would purchase a NEW battery from DJI or a Dealer who sells OEM New Batteries... Happy & Safe Flying!!

Haha yeah, because that's how we do things here on phantom pilots, if / when it's broke don't fix it just replace it. This battery has 4 cycles on it.

Also here in Canada we can't get them for $50-60 they are $210+tax. With no deals anywhere.

$210.00 is very pricey, you can find P3 batteries for around $130-150 all day, Keep an eye out at Best buy, bought a couple a few months ago for $100.00 even.

Are those prices in Canada? I have yet to find any at that price and Christmas deals are over

Thank you, although I am very familiar with proper Lipo care. I used 6S lipos with RC cars for years and have a great understanding of soldering and LiHV chargers.
