OK, I'm stumped. I have two batteries and charged them both yesterday - each on the charger for approx 4 hours. Today?....not enough juice in either one to boot up the copter. What is going on?

I've got the Phantom FC 40.
There are NO flights on these batteries, they are brand new....I've merely started the motors numerous times trying to effect a maiden flight (but have run into various problems that have so far precluded that).

It appears that after 4 hours of charging, I have 5.37v
(The battery is marked: 2200mAh / 11.1v / 20c )

I'm not familiar with the specifics of DJI's balance charger but most LiPo chargers will not charge a 3S pack if it is below some where around 9v.
You can Google ways to try and resurrect them if in fact they are over-discharged.

I don't understand. Surely all he has to do is connect the batteries to the Phantom and then connect to the PC?
All fixed. Batteries charging correctly. Copter lift off and stable flight achieved. All working as designed! Thanks for your guidance and help!!
