New Battery Question

[Coon]

I just got in a spare battery this afternoon. I put it on the charger until all the lights went out, about 1 hour. I then put the new battery on the bird and fired it up. The app only showed the battery at 67%, anyone know what's up? I pulled the battery out and put it back on charger. It shows to be charging again. Idk

Also how do I know if the battery new the firmware updated?

After the lights went off this time I put the battery back in the bird and it showed 100%. Bird fired up and everything looked ok. Hopefully find out tomorrow how it runs.

I would look at the cell balance.

Hope it's all good. How much was it?

Cell balance was perfect after the 2nd charge.

I wouldn't trust these non oem batteries. There have been reports of them catching fire.

Those are not OEM. Would void the warranty on a new bird.

It's funny, they sell the OEM battery for $166. What's up with that?
