    How often are the batteries cracking?

    They balked on me at first. Be polite, but forceful. It worked for me, but I DID have to go to the next level of support. Just don't take NO for an answer. Point out that a cracked battery is a safety issue, and if the faulty batteries that THEY furnished with their product were to start a...

    How often are the batteries cracking?

    I would think that you have the next generation batteries. I received my replacements about a month ago, and all three are the newer ones. One thing I noticed... they don't seem to snap in quite as tightly as the old ones. Perhaps the "thumb press" to seat the old batteries is the underlying...

    How often are the batteries cracking?

    Nicad, Please see my earlier posts concerning my battery issues, and DJI's subsequent support: Cracks on top of batteries They did right by me, although it DID take a little cajoling. ~Joey

    Cracks on top of batteries

    Hi All, This is an update to my earlier post concerning cracks on the tops of my P4 batteries: I contacted DJI upon msinger's recommendation. After several emails, photos, conflicting messages, warranty issues, safety issue claims, and 4 weeks, DJI FINALLY came down on the right side of the...

    I must have hit something in the air..

    Mosquitoes certainly leave red stains on my props. That being said, from the amount of blood in the photo, that would have been one HELL of a mosquito... ~Joey

    Inspire 2 or Phantom 4 Pro?!

    I was about to say the same thing. If nothing else, the Inspire 2 wins simply with it's "Cool Factor"... ~Joey

    Cracks on top of batteries

    Greetings All, I went out flying last weekend, and noticed that all three of my P4 batteries have small cracks just above the 4th LED, next to the power button. This is the first time I've noticed them, and all three batteries are less than one year old. I've only got roughly 15 hours on each...

    Phantom 2 to Phantom 4?

    Early on, there were much the same complaints concerning the P4 (myself included). However, over the past months, DJI seems to have alleviated MANY of the complaint items. My biggest complaint was a marked drop in the P4's altitude when coming to a hover (at times 10 - 12 ft). This was...

    My new phantom 4 a frustrating process

    While I find your actions deplorable, I can neither confirm nor deny that I have ever utilized the same practice with other products. ;) And, as you stated, invariably it will be DJI who replaces the battery in either case... ~Joey
