Right, let's talk about Condor Drone battery issues. They're not un-common, especially with the conditions these drones operate in.
Dirty Connections: The Main Culprit
Salt and grime build up. It affects the connections. Start by cleaning the terminals on both the drone and battery. Use contact cleaner, like alcohol.
- Small terminals: Dirty small terminals often cause "battery abnormal" or "reset battery" errors.
- Large terminals: Dirty or worn large terminals usually lead to "low battery return" issues.
Often, a good clean is all you need. Replacement isn't always necessary.
Isolate the Problem
If you've got spare batteries, you can use them. This will help you find the problem.
- If only one battery has issues, the battery is likely the fault.
- If all batteries have issues, the drone is probably at fault.
Think of it like checking your boat's battery connections before a fishing trip off the Coromandel. You wouldn't want to get stranded.
When Cleaning Isn't Enough
If cleaning doesn't fix it, we need to take a closer look. Contact us, and we will organise to get the drone and batteries back to us.
