Parrot BlueGrass Battery failure


Hi all,TLDR : How do I save my batteries?I recently purchased a Parrot Bluegrass on ebay (wonderful place to buy a drone right?).Problem 1 : Only 1 battery of the 3 included batteries will chargeProblem 2 : When that 1 battery is plugged into the drone, the drone doesn't start. Checking the output voltage of the battery, it reads 0V. The charging unit says it is charged, though.Conclusion : Battery failure of all 3 units due to age, long-term storage while discharged or overcharged, or corrosion.Current options :Option 1 : Drop $300 per battery on new batteriesProblem : It appears that the Bluegrass has been discontinued as Parrot puts focus onto its Anafi line of products and agriculture drones swap to fixed wing style units. All links discussed in the operation manual have been taken down. I'll see if I can get in touch with DroneNerds and Parrot on Monday.Option 2 : Eat the cost, use the drone for parts, and build my own drone.Might Reddit have any ways to restore the batteries? via /r/Multicopter https://ift.tt/31Z786y
