Bad battery ?

[Simzy666]

Hi guys I need some advise.
Can I still use this battery ? The cells are out of balance a bit. Is there anything I can do to make them In balance or is it not any problem to fly with it?
Grateful for some advice

Yes you can use it safely.

You could try re-balancing the battery cells. Run your Phantom until the battery shuts off and then recharge it.

I have tried that but I guess I can fly and observe

NO! Do not run it until the battery shuts off. The battert should never go under 8%. So discharging it to 10% and then recharging it to 100% should do it.

70mv imbalance isn't too bad.... keep an eye on it,
Next charge it might be better, they do vary. Running it down is a wast of time, the balancing occurs towards the end of the charge cycle.

I don't know what the long term affects of cycling the battery often are, but it certainly won't hurt the battery to do it once to attempt to balance the cells. The battery has built-in protection to prevent any cell from being discharged beyond 3.0V.
