DJI Smart Controller(Model RM500) not charging fully.

[peikko]

Hello.

My controller charges only up to 57 % and the last of the four leds does not blink while charging.

Is the battery of the controller coming to its end or could it be a software/firmware related issue ?

How much does it cost approximately to get a new battery put in and is it hard to do by myself ?

Your Battery is at its end. You can replace them and its not that difficult really there are many videos that show you how.

I do see that this is a bit old, did you get some resolution?

No I did not. Few "professionsl" people think that one "cell" of the battery - whatever it means has come to an end of its life and they suggest the change of battery.

They sell the battery for 60 bucks and I wonder how tricky it is to change it....
( I watched some videos on Youtube of people doing it ... )

They are a bit harder to open than the RC1A controller but easier than RC Pro.
I seem to remember that there is a top cover that was a bit tricky to remove but the rest was fairly routine.
