Can my battery be saved?

Gheddo · Aug 3, 2019

Hello all I have a battery that was working perfectly a month ago i used it to shoot a music video, i havent charged it back then because i have been out of the country since. I came back home one of my two remaining batteries charged fine then this other one one LED 1 would not charge and I have no idea why. I put it on the charger overnight hoping it was just in sleep mode it wasnt. I tried the sleep mode activation with the charger still nothing. I found this video which describes exactly what is happening to me. I already lost 1 battery off this drone because it was depleted to where it wouldnt even blink on. Is this to be the fate of this battery?

Sorry to hear you’re having battery issues. I have multiple quads and I check batteries and check them weekly. Still, one can have issues.

This is unfortunate because i'm usually out of country i cant charge them weekly like i should but for a piece of equipment that is so expensive i didnt expect this type of thing and the warranty on the batteries is like 6 months. My first one died in under a year

I wanted to avoid as much as possible opening the batteries but if this is the only option then i have no choice.

so really the issue is with the dry joint on the positive wire going to the lipo cells also known as a bad solder joint that stops the current flowing
