Spark remote won’t take a charge. Port is okay because the otg cable works fine. Any suggestions. Thanks
depending on its age the battery could be toast ,they dont last forever
Battery is about two years old and 83 charges if it is the battery can it be replaced.???
How do you know the controller battery has had 83 charges ?
I don't know of a place that can tell me that for my Spark or M1P controller (although I haven't gone looking for one either).
I pretty much charge my remote every time I charge my spark battery and info is on the app
I'll have to take a look in there some more, guess it'll be in the controller part of the menu somewhere.
Oh hang, on you have a single drone battery and just charge controller same time . . . yeah the battery # of charges is there in battery info.
I fly 4 or 5 batteries sometimes, and the controller makes that, so there is no way of telling how many charges that has had (on either of my drones).
Also, not sure about how controller battery is cared for like batteries.
You know if you fly 50% battery and recharge the drone battery, it doesn't add a single full charge to the battery times charged tally, eg, it calculates and tallies 2 x 50% flights as a full charge.
Well, I have read it can be done, but not a home handyman job.
I did a quick google search > dji spark remote controller battery replacement

You do know there is a Spark Pilots forum ?
DJI Spark Drone Forum
DJI Spark Drone Discussions, Support, Forum and Online Communitysparkpilots.com
There may be controllers 2nd hand there from time to time, and cheaper than mucking about.
I'm still not convinced your controller battery is bad though, I can't recall seeing any threads anywhere in a situation someones controller battery had gone.
Yes, you'd think they would go like aircraft lipos, but I think they are Li-ion in the controller, and they aren't under a lot of duress like aircraft batteries are, and one controller full charge should = about 7 - 8 Spark aircraft battery flights.
That means your controller should be well and truly be within a usual life.
Yeah at first I thought it was the charger but ruled that out and then I thought it was a damaged port but the otg cable seems to work good thanks so much for your reply
I am fully aware of the spark forum. Tried it and got no response I also had tried the DJI forum and same result. This site was my last hope.
Have you tried another charging cable and charger? Or are the charging lights blinking but the batteries doesn't show any change afterwards.Spark remote won’t take a charge. Port is okay because the otg cable works fine. Any suggestions. Thanks
