It sold... it was an eBay auction.

Yeah - which is exactly what I had also. See here: 37 seconds of flight time before RTH kicks in and prevented some features from being used. Thankfully I fixed it by doing what I just posted.

Just to clarify, when the battery is in an "off" state, I held the power button on as I plugged in the charger. I think I held it in for a quite a few seconds after plugging in but not sure what the correct timing is.

I had the same symptoms as you. Did this and it fixed it. Hopefully it works for you.

eBay Australia link, starting at $0.01: 3DR Solo Smart Drone with New GoPro HERO4 Black, 4 Batteries, Backpack, and more | eBay Selling my much loved 3DR Solo. The kit includes: 3DR Solo Smart Drone GoPro HERO4 Black - weeks old and used only on the Solo for about five shots 4 x Solo...

100% works, at least for some. Multiple postive reports of it working here https://3drpilots.com/threads/maybe-a-dead-battery-fix.7593 - I'm one of them.

Positive results from the "battery calibration" on this thread: https://3drpilots.com/threads/maybe-a-dead-battery-fix.7593 I did it without knowing that it's being referred to as a battery calibration, and it solved a huge battery issue for me. Others reporting similar results.

It seems that the battery calibration is exactly what we're talking about here - without knowing what it's referred to as. It definitely worked for me.

This all sounds positive - great to hear that it actually seems to be working! My battery has been giving me full flight time again - very happy.

All good! Putting and order in for the motor pod this morning. Thanks all who replied.

Right ok. Sux they had to abandon the Solo. It was killing DJI with unique features at the time... oh well.

Yeah I think I will. I've already separated it. Will buy the new one today. The seller is from Ballarat, and I did hear during the development of the Solo that someone from Australia was on the dev team down there. Probably the same person.

Good question. I have no idea. A few... how do I find out?

This worked for me - thanks faroutmatt!

Same issue. Tried the same as you - now works perfectly. Left it on the charge and even though the charge light stayed green, and only one light was flashing on the battery - I left it there. Then tried a series of methods surrounding your advice, and now the battery works perfectly! Thanks :D
