[QUOTE="MileHighSi, post: 28662, member: 3234"] I was flying on a beach recently, having used my carry case (the one which comes with the fly more package) as a take-off platform. I regularly do this on uneven or dusty (or in this case sandy) surfaces. However, it seems that this time I'd been a bit careless, as a wave came right up the shore and the lower part of the bag became submerged. Unfortunately, as you'll have guessed from the title, my spare battery was in there. The next day I tried the battery and although all four lights showed on the back, the drone didn't turn on. The next day, I gave it a full charge (it was showing 4 lights but w/e) and tried again. No such luck. I decided to leave it alone until I was back home 2 weeks later. It was a pain just having one battery – I'm not sure how anyone does it tbh.. Well I'm back home now and the battery is working again. The drone turns on and I've taken it up a few ft just to test. My question is: despite seemingly working as normal, is the battery safe to fly with? [/QUOTE]
