Hello from New Zealand!

G'day to all you fellow spark pilots from New Zealand!

I'm a real aviation fan and I have just bought a DJI spark as a project to fix, so I can get footage for my basic productions.

Hi There,
I am in NZ and have a Spark that I am trying to revive dead batteries for.

Hi There,
I am in NZ and have a Spark that I am trying to revive dead batteries for.

There are plenty of videos online showing how to do this. Spark battery revival

Hi Daniel, Yes, I have watched several of the videos and tried without success to revive my locked batteries. I have the unlocker software and an Arduino Nano but am unable to connect to either of the batteries. I may just have to get some new batteries.

After a while the Spark (or any LiPo) batteries completely degrade, as their chemical makeup is destroyed.
If this has happened, then there's no use trying to restore it unfortunately.

There is hope if the battery is just de-charged below the minimum and left, as the lithium may still be restorable.
The Spark that I just got had been left for years, and miraculously the batteries are still running as new, getting 12-15 minutes of hovering time!
