      I mean if you buy a new battery it will fix it, so it kind of does. It's just not the free fix you were hoping for. Maybe it's bad wording, it's implied as fixing the drone and making it flyable again, not specifically fixing the battery. Also if people aren't seeing the same sequences then their battery may not be dead and they may have other options.

    You wasted money on a new battery while there is nothing wrong with the old one. With time, the old one only lost all the charge. Since the charging circuit needs power to know how to charge the battery, when there is no power, it just got stuck and doesn't know what to do. In this situation, you only need to use a power supply to charge the battery by yourself. For example, I found there are 4 connections on the battery: the one on the edge is negative and the one on the other end is positive. So I connected a power supply to those and started charging with about 0.2 A. The final voltage is about 6V after 30 min. I then put the battery back into the Tello and continued charging without any problem. Wait until it finishes and now everything is back to normal.

    • @stevelitton
      @stevelitton  8 месяцев назад

      I mean it's only £20 for a new battery and some people might not have the things they need to bring it back to life. There is also no guarantee they could bring it back and get it working again. But thats good to hear that you managed to do that and could be a viable option for some people 👍

    • @richardyao3406
      @richardyao3406 8 месяцев назад +1

      This covers not only this battery, it will work on all "smart batteries" on the market today. I think it's either a design flaw or on purpose (to get more money from you) when batteries need themselves to power up themselves to communicate before they can be charged. It's like requiring all people to go to emergency rooms by themselves when they need it. @@stevelitton

    • @stevelitton
      @stevelitton  8 месяцев назад

      Interesting, thanks for sharing this. What exactly are you using to attach to those parts of the battery? Could you share a photo or some additional information on what you are using? I would be interested to give that a try next time I get a dead battery on one of my other drones.

    • @stefanberg-johansen6706
      @stefanberg-johansen6706 2 месяца назад

      Can confirm this works. If the blue charging LED displays a 3-short, 1-long pattern, that seems to indicate a fully discharged battery which the drone is unable to recharge on its own. We applied 5V to the removed battery from an independent source using the pinouts you provided for about 15 minutes until its internal resistance had increased to about 45 ohms (110 mA final current). After that, the charging circuit of the drone was able to charge normally (blue charging LED with short signals only). After about 90 minutes the battery was fully charged and the drone was operational again. Thank you @richardyao3406 for providing this info!

    • @neohornet
      @neohornet 2 месяца назад

      Thanks! This solution is the only thing that worked from all the things I tried. Just connected a 500mA 5V charger for 15 minutes with the positive and negative poles as you described. Now the battery is charging in the Tello and the 4 short 1 long pattern is finally gone.

    Hi Steven , I bought new batteries but when I plug it in and try to charge it , no blue light. It looks like it does not go into charging mode. What must I do ?

    • @stevelitton
      @stevelitton  Год назад +1

      So you get no lights at all, even with a new battery? Make sure it's an official battery and plug it in for a while and see if the lights start flashing. Try it from a mains plug if you are trying to charge it through a laptop etc, also you could swap out the cable as that may be the issue. Failing that, try getting a replacement for that battery you bought as it may be faulty. Failing all of that, it may be a bigger issue with your drone but hopefully one of those resolve the issue 🤞
