Just watched full video and waisted my time. answer only to buy new battery. Your video description dosnt meet video info.
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.
Just updated the firmware and now is charging
@@stevelitton Did you try to charge the old battery after updating the firmware?
@@mavicprovideos1485 To update the firmware you need a good battery installed in Tello. But will try to revive the old one after the update when my new battery come.
@@naturewatcher7596 Didn't work for me no, but I have seen other people say it did. I have my doubts about the legitimacy of that. Seems odd that a firmware update would miraculously fix a battery. Worth a try though before getting rid of it.
I thought you'll show how to fix the old battery... Anyway, you confirmed my suspicion, that my battery is dead and couldn't be charged, and I need to get a new one. Thank you.
Yeah, sorry it's generally not what people want to hear but if you have left the battery sat around for a long time then it's the most likely answer.
Why would you call the video that way though…. Waste of time.
I love my tello. It's great for muscle memory when not flying my Mini 3
Yeah definitely, it's a great little drone. I have the T1D controller for it too which is great fun to use 😃
@@stevelitton Same here. Not expensive to fix when it crashes too
ay, man, nice video
if i could ask, is it worth to buy a motor if mine broke?
Thank you. I will be honest, I haven't had to replace parts like that on mine. I think if you could buy the parts and do it yourself it might be feasible but to get it professionally repaired would very likely outweigh the cost of getting a new Tello drone.
When i had a troubleshot with connecting to tello. I had use tello hero(ironman) application on android phone for update on loader mode.
Great video. Thanks for all the good info on this matter 👍
No problem, glad you found it useful 👍
Answer: Buy new battery, thanks! I have the same issue, I will buy a new one and update this comment with the results.
UPDATE: A new battery fixed the issue.
Glad your drone is back up and running 👍
Same, just bought a new battery 👍🏼
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.
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 👍
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
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.
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!
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 ?
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 🤞
If its flashing dark blue does it mean ist chartsing?
It's a bit confusing, a slow blinking blue light means 'charging' and a fast blinking blue light means 'charging error'.
What does a solid blue light mean?
Solid blue on the Tello drone means the battery is charged.
@@stevelitton thank you so much!
@@jimtomk1945 No problem 👍
Can you help me i put it in a he wrong way and now its stuck pls help
I guess you will need some strong tweezers or pliers to pry it back out. I would use something soft around the battery so you don't damage it trying to remove it.
What does it mean when it is yellow?
Yellow usually indicates that the drone isn't paired yet.
I had trouble taking the battery out and when I got it out it was expanded like it was about to explode 💣 😅
😬 hope you managed to get it out without damaging anything. I didn't mention it in this video but my battery definitely had started to swell a little on the side where the sticker is.
Mine have no light turning on whatsoever, even when I charge it the tello light doesnt turn on. I don't know if the battery is dead or is it the drone it self. I don't want to buy a new bettery just to know the drone it self already dead,
Thats not a good sign if it isn't coming on at all. Have you tried connecting it to the USB port on a laptop or desktop and straight in to an AC USB charging port?
@@stevelitton Yeah... I tried from desktop and phone charger nothing. I don't have external battery charger.
@@r2artCH ah it's difficult to say for sure. I think you will have to try and borrow a battery from someone. Maybe try a new cable first, just to double check it's not that.
@@stevelitton haha...I don't know anyone else that have Tello. Is a dead end for me.
It's okay...I didn't use that much either.... I haven't used it for quite a while as matter of fact. So maybe that's why is dead
anyway, thx for trying to help
@@r2artCH That's a shame, it's a bit rubbish that the batteries cost so much in relation to the drone itself.
I want I will buy usd
It's a great little drone, a lot of fun to use. If you get a used one, just check there is no damage to the motors as they are not worth the cost of getting repaired.
um
So the fix is.... By a new battery?
Yep pretty much 🙂
Try to hold power button before connect the power plug....release the button right after the green light turn off (before the red light turn on).
Wait a minute on charger....hold the power button again....
Worked for me! Hope it work for you!
@@SirToca Hello, your tip has restored my battery. After that, i have placed the battery in the 3 batteries charger = blinking green. It was red before. Thank you for the help.
@@SirToca holy crap dude this totally just worked for me😊
@SirToca do I hold the power button while it's on red or after a minute I take out the plug and hold the power button?
Am sad my tello drone dead...
What happened to it 😐
No there a method yo restart it and workeddd
your explanation is too long is boring bro
Ok, sorry you didn't find it useful.
@@stevelitton yaa its ok
but you replied that's is the most important
thank you bro appreciate
Similar situation, Flying from start to December, next 3 week battery and drone stay on my table. Infinity charging, change cable not help, i starting worried about charging sensor, but your video show reference problem , try buy new battery.
Yeah, sadly those batteries just don't last well when not in use 🫤
I updated the firmware, now is charging
How did you update the firmware with a dead battery?
@@stevelitton put in a charged battery
And then the other dead battery starting changing? I did hope that would work for mine but it wasn't the case sadly.
@@stevelitton I'm trying it now, looks like it's charging, but I will have to let you know
