battery updating

kclark · Oct 8, 2016

I bought my P4 on Thursday and it hadn't been updated. I just finished updating it and I need to update my 3 extra batteries. I followed the procedures for doing so but when I put any of the 3 extra batteries in and start up the P4, I don't get any notification on my iPad to update them. Did I do something wrong?

Did you wait long enough for the message to update? It took a little while at times for the message to appear for me.

is 5 minutes long with?

Yeah, not that long. I did turn off the controller and back on a few times as I found it wasn't telling me to update either. It worked for all mine in the end.

You got to ensure you have the bin update file on the ad card. Check once more.

And read the txt file that's generated after update

How do I make sure the file gets to the card?

P4 doesn't update via a .bin file.....it's via the GO app or DJI Assistant.

I'm using DJI Assistant

You place the battery to be updated into your Phantom and power everything on as normal but wait at the main screen within the GO App for the update message to appear.
