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.
