Will do. Your help has been appreciated.

Yes, as clean as I can get it. I’ll contact DJI.

This is the correct Phantom. Sorry, not trying to waste your time I just got confused.

Hold on. I cleaned the wrong Phantom. I got kids running all over screaming. I’ll send pics shortly.

It appears to be a white residue? Corrosion? I have had batteries become stuck in this Phantom. Each time I’ve had to stick plastic knife ends into both the bottom and top tabs while moving the battery vertically on my end until it comes free. Sometimes that vertical movement has been quite a...

These are the contacts cleaned up. See any problems?

This AC is not even six months old. The original AC I purchased in December has been replaced twice, once due pilot error, the other replacement was covered under the warranty by DJI. I’ve had this P4 less than 3 months. I will contact DJI but I’ve found them depressingly awful to deal with.

I’m up to $370 worth of trashed batteries (2) so far. I have four more at another location I will have to check. This s@@t could potentially cost me hundreds more dollars from where I’m at now. What a morning!

Ok. I’ll post a pic when I get it cleaned up.

To clarify my last question, should I try bend the contacts on the AC back in place if they are out of alignment? That is, after I clean them and if they are out of alignment. I can’t really tell what’s going on in there now because they are so dirty.

I don’t have any contact cleaner but I will get some. Apparently you were right about it damaging my other batteries. I have one other battery that is starting to show minor damage also. What should I do?

And it gets worse...I didn’t even think about that possibility. Thanks, I’ll check them before I fly again.

I dont have an argument in reference to your “cost analysis” point. That tells me it needs to go.

Crap. That battery has less than 30 flights. I’ll trash it. Thanks

As best I can tell, with my eyesight, this battery is missing two of the copper points. It’s probable that I have been flying with it in this condition for some time due to the fact that I just noticed it. If I am not mistaken, this is the battery that became stuck in the P4. It took quite a bit...
