Always put your battery in with a solid reassuring "thwack". And mind the gap.
There are so many threads on the same topic, but this is the first one I've seen with a demonstration video. Awesome. That made it very clear.I've noticed that my 3 extra batteries don't fully insert into the Phantom with a normal push when compared to my first battery, which has none of these issues. Reading all these threads with battery errors I wondered if it might be related...
As usual I push the batteries in with reasonable force and I hear it clicking into place, but I noticed that there's a 1mm gap. At first i just thought it hadn't been built to precision as I did hear and feel it click into place, but after giving it an extra push it did click further into place as seen in the video below.

On the first few insertions of my extra battery I experienced the same. After locking it in and taking it out about 10 times in a row it acts the same as the original battery. Maybe it just needs to be grooved a few times to losen up.
Does anyone else see this too, or is it just my Phantom?
I know what you mean, but to push in that last millimetre requires more force than it should, certainly when compared to the original battery which fully clips in with very little effort.I think the scenario is not real, nobody would put the smasrt battery in slow and without much force.
Yep I noticed this today. Top part needs to be pushed in to click. Weird thing is even with mine not pushed in when I pull on the battery hard it doesn't come out.
GREASE IT!!!!!Yes it does.
I have 3 batteries, one was a little sticky and 2 click location but with the silicon grease, the battery now slides in perfectly and easily with a positive click (and no gap)
