Hi all, searched some threads with similar issues but would like to confirm my thoughts.
First time I have flown in a while this evening (long story short I crashed about 8 months ago and havent really had the courage to go back out again). After charging and checking everything, took off, hovered for around 20 seconds, then red flashing lights and looking on my on screen display the battery % is dropping rapidly.
I descended and held on to it, and it felt like it could barely fly, again with the battery % dropping so fast, I reckon 2 minutes from 100% - 0%.
My worry is the battery is knackered (think I stored it at 100% for far too long).
Question is, are there any decent aftermarket batterys now, or even DJI ones for sale in UK and can I use Phantom 2 Vision ones?
Ive seen a few on Amazon, and this www.ebatteries.co.uk have some for sale.
Do any of you use aftermarket ones? I was looking at the EBL ones specifically.
Sorry to bore you all!
