    Parrot Skycontroller 3 battery.

    I bought one from Amazon third party. Buying through Amazon makes it easy if you need to return it. The price was good. I received the battery in just over a week. Provided you have a star screwdriver it takes about 5 minutes to change the battery. I charged mine up and it works a dream...

    Thank you. I took it out this evening & it's a joy to use again.

    Advice on New battery.

    Thank you that is most helpful. By flat it is as you say no LEDs light up. When you say 2) "Do not store them at full charge for more than a couple of days". I'm not sure what you mean, as, from my experience, the Anafi batteries start to discharge if they are full or even half full. So they...

    Advice on New battery.

    Does no one have any basic information on charging batteries? I also notice the new battery came flat.

    Advice on New battery.

    I have had my Anafi for nearly four years. Two of the batteries will fly for about 5 minutes, one 30 seconds, so all more or less finished. I have just bought a new Anafi battery from Parrot. I have read various threads about batteries, but I want to make sure I am looking after the new battery...

    Fast Charger for Parrot Anafi.

    I have an Anker A2042 charger that I use with the Anafi cables. It does seem to take time to charge up batteries. I don't mind that, but sometimes I need a faster charge. Is there a faster charger for Anafi Batteries?

    Can I instruct Anafi to land where it started flight when battery is low.

    Or indeed land on Wilmers mule, as it will with no guidence. :)

    Can I instruct Anafi to land where it started flight when battery is low.

    Yes I appreciate that. But as I said with the hi tech in the drone, it should trigger a return to home, based on how far from home, & the battery power left. Even if it let you move it forward back or sideways, as it came down would be a help, but nothing. Anyhow thanks for your thoughts.

    Can I instruct Anafi to land where it started flight when battery is low.

    I have three batteries. None have been dropped.

    Can I instruct Anafi to land where it started flight when battery is low.

    Thanks. It seems strange that with the hi tech that is in the drone, that if the battery is getting low, it just doesn't fly back to it's starting point, thus no loss.

    Can I instruct Anafi to land where it started flight when battery is low.

    A few times recently the Anafi has just landed on it's own at the place it was at the time. Obviously if over water that would be a disaster. It has made this landing several times even when the battery looked good. A couple of times around15 minutes of flight. Can I instruct Anafi to land...

    Drone went down. Does it give out a signal?

    Did yours work after such a time in the elements? I got my drone back. I was taking photos of steam trains when the phone jumped out of the holder. My guess is that I grabbed for the phone & inadvertently my thumb was on the 'down & side together' part of the Freeflight 6. This must have...

    Thank you. It more or less confirms where we thought it went down. Will go look for it.

    Does the drone give out a signal when it crashes, if so, what do I need to do? (Parrot Anafi)

    Updates **** Blast.

    My Freeflight 6 automatically comes onto the phone as soon as I connect it. The update covers the page & I could not see any way of stopping it. Perhaps I should stop automatic connection?
