Update batteries on the spark

[Johnm]

I believe the recent update also has an update for the spark battery. How do you update batteries?

It does it through the app. Once I'd updated the spark and rc, it then updated the battery. I then switched batteries and it came up with a message about different firmware versions then updated the battery.

odd. That I have seen any notice after I upgraded to any of my 2 other batteries.

I'd read I needed to update the batteries, so after updating the spark I turned everything off, changed the battery and turned it on. It then gave me the message that it needed to update.

Yes, it gives you a blue slider on the GO 4 screen for each battery. My last battery didn't come up, so shut AC, RC, and GO 4 all down and back up and then the blue slider update showed on GO 4 screen. All batteries now updated.

thanks - i will try again. just came back from using 2 batteries and don't recall seeing this.

I never saw the blue slider on the go 4 app so l plugged my spark to my computer using DJI Assist and it worked. It said I had a mismatch. It work for 2 of my batteries - the third one was obviously in the spark when I did the initial update the other day.

Curious to know if you use OTG?

And you really really must update the battery!!! Otherwise it could fall out of the sky like a brick at some random moment!

When you power on additional batteries stay on this screen, slide to update.

The one detail that I haven't noticed is that you must be on the HOME or Main page of the DJI App. If your app opens to the flight page like mine the blue slider will not appear it will just tell you you cannot take off. Just click on the small DJI logo in upper left corner and then start aircraft and you will get the option to update. As a side note: The update seems to sit at 97% for longer then you would expect, just be patient.

I did mine the same way! I just plugged in each battery and reconnected to the computer and it did the update. The second battery did not take as long, I guess it updated the firmware and the battery the first time and only the battery the second time.

I did not see an option in the app to update battery and when I put the second battery in and tried to take off it gave me an "error 128." That is when I updated the second battery and it was good after that!
