Battery firmware , How?

[Cashjon]

Hi guys, hope this is in the right section. I was reading other posts about updating the extra batteries in the forums. They said that if you shut everything down and restart with battery in that needs update then you will have a update box come up. That is not the case. All I get is on the app it reads "Go fly" but when you click it It has the red "cannot take off" and of course if you click that and select latest firmware it has the red triangle and says cannot take off due to battery firmware. Problem is that I can not find how to update firmware on batteries. I must be doing something wrong, very confused now, Thanks

With that battery in, connect the AC to computer and open DJI assistant. Click on refresh firmware to update the battery.

This may be a dumb question but when you say AC, what do you mean?

I believe AC refers to aircraft (drone). Just connect your drone via USB cable to your computer, install DJI Assistant and it will show if an update is available.

Yes I read a few more posts and figured that out, I'm just new to "Spark" but have a P3P also. Just wanted to thank you all for replies, got it updated once I found the "assistant" program it updated right away. Again a big THANK-YOU.

That's what forums are for...... filling in the blanks in the sketchy instructions that DJI gives us to work from.

Will this update the new extra battery ONLY (without changing the firmware on the Spark itself) to the same FW that resides on the Spark itself

- or -

will this update EVERYTHING (AC, RC, battery) to the latest version available?

Currently, there is 701 on my Spark and I have no need to go to the latest firmware available (900), but I need to update two new extra batteries I got.

EDIT:

Just tried it - Assistant lets you chose a certain firmware (not neccessariliy the latest one), so everything is fine

So what's the best way to update those batteries to be compatible with 701, without updating to the latest firmware entirely?

Bump. I have the same question too. I'm running NLD 900 and do not want to update to 1000.
