My phantom is less than a week old and I have noticed that cell no1 is showing .1 less volts than the other 3 cells is this normal

small variations like this are normal.

Can you tell us exactly what the readings were on each cell?

I'm only curious as I had a battery warning come up on my last flight

That is concerning for such a new battery. Maybe a full discharge/charge (cycling) is warranted?

Tried to discharge to 8% and then fully charge but made no difference

Basically have the same thing going on with one of my batteries. I also tried the discharge / recharge thing and it made no difference either. Uploaded flight log to Healthy Drones and it shows major deviations on cell one for an entire 8 minute flight. The voltage reading was flashing between orange and green the entire time. Battery has 27 charge cycles on it.

You should call DJI and send them that screen capture. That's a bad battery, it shouldn't have that much of a deviation between cells. I expect they will warranty exchange that battery.

I would RMA that, looks like a weak cell

Only had the advanced 5 days I've contacted the place where I brought it from
