Battery charger brick failure?

[Paul Emmert]

Flashing red light on the charger brick, with accompanying flashing lights on the battery. Same symptom regardless of which battery attached.

Has anyone seen this before?

Have you done a factory reset on the charger?


Just kidding- sounds like a bad charger- how old is it and has it ever worked?

Relatively new, and worked fine until this week...one more issue and I'm off to get a new Phantom 4.

you might as well go, these things all have issues. don't be surprised though when you find yourself on a phantom board "having issues"

Certainly nothing is perfect, though I've had a chance to watch the P4 in action in our local flying group - zero issues for a couple of months so far. Meanwhile, I was grounded again today with some funky behavior with my Solo (after a failed gimbal recently....) Pretty much running out of patience. The software interface, alone, is excellent - much more robust than 3DR - I've watched it personally, and just SMH.

If you get the same message with all batteries I would think the charger has gone bad but that seems rare.

Mine failed the same way
