Somebody told me there's a way to look at a battery's life but going into "Settings" somewhere. Is there a way to see how many times it's been charged or if it's never been charged?
Oh? Which question did I miss?I think you're missing his question. I don't believe there is a way to tell if a battery is new or old
How many charges are left on this battery. He has no idea if it has 99 charges left, or 1.Oh? Which question did I miss?
Look at what I just posted.Jeez now I'm even more confused. Is there a way to tell if a battery is brand new or has little life left in it?
Now that's an answer. Thanks. I will be doing this tonight, just to see where I'm at on my battery.Sit down at your table with your remote & p3 sit the p3 on your table. Go into the App with the battery installed in the P3. Turn everything on, and let it warm up. When you have a Good camera picture, safe to fly (non-GPS) at the top of the screen in the middle. Tap your screen at the top RIGHT CORNER where you see the THREE lines. Then Go down to the BATTERY symbol. TAP THAT, and you can see all battery info such as cell voltage, battery percentage "Times Charged" Exedra. Most people Believe 100 charges is max life although I have read 200max. Subtract times charged located on the battery info screen from 100 to get your worst case senerio. If it says charged 40 times then you have 60 more charges at the worst case. Personally I believe it has ALOT to do with WHO charged the battery previously, and discharged it. Storage temperature, NOT charging a just used or HOT BATTERY. "COLD WEATHER USE" Exedra. Pay attention to all FOUR cell voltage readings. See how far they are off. This is a good indication of the overall batteries health. The closer the individual cell voltage readings the better. Do not leave your battery fully charged for long periods of time. Just either drain it - 50% or charge it to approximately 50% if you plan on not using the battery for a while. I would set the discharge time for 10 days until all of this battery mess is straightened out. Don't let it set completely dead and don't let it set completely charged. The safest charge level for storage is approximately 50%. It's nothing at all like your car battery that has to stay at 100% our losses cranking amps. Leaving a lithium battery fully charged causes it to swell, and lowers the mah,.
He didn't ask that questionHow many charges are left on this battery.
I beg to differ. And see post 10 for the way to do it.He didn't ask that question
Since you brought it up though, there is no way to tell how many more times a battery can be charged.
Unfortunately, there isn't a magic number for every battery. It mostly comes down to how you care for the battery. I say mostly because it's possible for batteries to be defective.I beg to differ. And see post 10 for the way to do it.
Me neither, but the guy that posted #10 seems like he's done it before.Unfortunately, there isn't a magic number for every battery. It mostly comes down to how you care for the battery. I say mostly because it's possible for batteries to be defective.
Don't take my word for it though. You know me.. I rarely know what I'm talking about

I hope this will help Y'all like it did me. There are alot of DJI videos also, but I Really Like this Guy. I always research Many different Sites When I feel it to be necessary. He pretty much covers everything from A to Z, and I have checked to make sure all of his data is accurate. He is a authorized DJI dealer also by the way.DJI Phantom 3 | How to and Tutorial videos: DJI Phantom 3 | How to and Tutorial videos - YouTube
