[QUOTE="Chrislaf, post: 101531, member: 3317"] Thanks for your reply. First, I realize I didn’t have to fly it to drain the battery. I was trying to determine if it was actually a battery problem or just the battery clips. On my previous flights, I only noticed this problem when I was bringing the drone in for a landing with a low battery (usually just under 30%). So, by flying the drone and doing some sudden forward and backward inputs I was able to rule out the problem being low battery related. Letting the drone sit on the ground for 30 min would not have made the 4 lights flash in this case. Second, I did not fly over people or property (I never do) so I don’t know where you got that idea. I flew it at an isolated deserted beach over the beach area and over shallow water close to me so if it fell, I could retrieve it. Third, I always push the battery in until I here the clicks and often give it a second push. I also give it a gentle pull to make sure it doesn’t come out. Regardless, I still use my battery strap on every flight. Finally, I have 3 other batteries and they all work perfectly. The problem battery just started showing the problem and was working perfectly before. All of my 4 Spark batteries are genuine batteries purchased from DJI. Chris [/QUOTE]
