Parrot Bebop Drone — flashing red light battery FIX!
So, I purchased a new Bebop a few days ago that was not from a retailer and after I got everything out and started charging my batteries – I realized one was flashing after 10 seconds of ‘trying’ to charge. Based on my understanding, when Lithium Ion batteries are really low/completely dead on charge (typically from not being used for long periods of time) – the Bebop may do this because it thinks the battery is no good.
I looked up online and found several different methods that would supposedly fix it, and none worked for me (moving to a different outlet, cleaning the contacts with an eraser, etc). I found one method that seemed like it would probably work posted by another Youtube user on how to charge the battery briefly with a different charger (for 1-2 minutes to give it a boost) and then go back to the Parrot Bebop charger – but I didn’t have the right equipment for that.
PLEASE NOTE: This isn’t a recommended method by any manufacturer, and batteries can do crazy things. Please be careful and monitor things closely in case the battery gets hot/etc. Try at your own risk!
Worked perfectly …..your a life saver brother 👍
This helped me a lot thank you
Great ! Thank you very much very helpful 10/10

Thank You so much! I saw the "switch the battery quick" trick in first in this video and after i saw it a second time i tried it and it worked for both batteries that were completely dead.
i was about to ship them back and have to undergo a 2 week process before i fly my drone.
Thanks again.
I got so lucky that one of my batteries worked. I never get that lucky
Good to know! Thank you so much! I’ve had mine for five years, and just now I felt inclined to use it!
Can I charge your battery inside the drone or do they have to be externally charged
what if you have two batterys that are flashing red
How does someone collaborate to pair bebop Just got my Saturday
Awesome! Worked for me – thanks a bunch!
Doing
I take the battery and put it on drone and run it down some more then the charger seem too charge it back up to green
Thank you for the suggestion! It seems to be charging now!
You dont have to wait for a green light. Just let it establish charge and do a quick swap over
Worked for me.. I drained a new battery to nothing.. would not recharge.. your method worked!
THANK YOU! This saved me over $60 on a new battery! Very helpful I had to unplug and replug in my battery to trickle charge it until it had enough charge for the charger to realize its still a good battery, and it worked like a charm!
i just bought this bebop one about an hour ago from a dude on facebook, so i plugged in the first battery and it was flashing…i have no instructions in the box not that read them anyway but i took the second battery and put it on the charger and that battery was steady red…now confused i removed and began charging the fisrt battery that was flashing except now it wasnt flashing…confused again lol so i looked it up on youtube and here i am proud of myself LOL…thanks for the video!
