I chose to post this here as opposed to the Mavic 2 Pro area hoping to get answers a little faster. Apologies. Also, searched and couldn't find the answer I need...
In late 2019 I bought a new Mavic 2 Pro Combo along with the Fly More kit. Thought I'd use it, but Covid and life got in the way so left it in the box. 18 months ago I opened everything up for the first time and charged all three batteries - all good. Then I had to move, so put everything away again. Never used the drone or put a battery in the drone.
Two days ago I finally get everything out (found a friend who wants to fly drones together) and attempted to charge all three batteries. One charged up just fine, the other two - nothing. The circular light on the charged battery lights up and all appears well. The other two batteries have been on the charger over 12 hours now and nothing still. No segments of the circle lighting up. I've swapped the batteries around to different charging docks on the charger and still no luck. Charger and outlet are working as it already charged one battery.
I've called DJI and as the batteries are 4+ years old, they offer no help. These two batteries each have one cycle on them. Is it typical for them to die with age like this without being used (except for the one successful charge 18 month ago)?
Any suggested fixes or is it possible they may actually be charged and the indicator just isn't working? Or should I just punt and buy replacement batteries? I do see some good deals on refurbs on Amazon that rate 4.7 stars.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
