[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 91009, member: 10850"] If your battery can be pulled off easily after it is "locked" then you've got a bad battery. That's just not right. All 4 of mine are truly locked when fully inserted. They don't come off with a tug. Two common reasons for bad locks: 1. Generation one batteries had short tabs and weaker springs. DJI improved the design quickly but still lots of gen 1 batteries out there 2. If batteries are repeatedly removed without fully disengaging the lock the tabs will wear down and the springs will fatigue prematurely. If your battery never truly locks the only safe approach is to use a battery retention clip (or O-ring or rubber band). Glad you checked [I]before[/I] you had a drop out incident. [/QUOTE]
