seriously Pi**** off!

[keith roberts]

just tried charging my diversity screen battery and it will not hold a charge, only had a few flights since last Oct, but admittedly not used since before end of November, was left fully charged, perhaps I should have kept topping it up, but as usual other things cause distractions.

I have found replacements for about £30, anyone know anyone able to better that. Seriously annoyed having to replace!

Lithium battery';s should never be stored at full charge. Have you tried looking on hobby king, you might be able to find a replacement if you take the measurement from the dead battery

What screen is it?

[Beaver2206]

Is it the Boscam 5802?  I';m having similar charging quandaries.  Though mine is how to charge the flipping thing!

I have a black pearl and the built in battery is questionable. I mostly power it with a 3s lipo velcro'; to the back.

Quadfather, Cheers mate appreciate your effort  I have dug out my turnigy charger and a 3s lipo, will see how that goes!

edit : Update 3s lipo worked like a dream!

further update :- Contacted my original supplier Aerial Motion Pictures, told them about the battery and they replaced it free of charge, I recommend them!
