Hey guys, this is my first post on the forums. I've been following FliteTest on youtube for about two years now I intend to get into multi-rotors with the ultimate goal of flying camera drones for personal and potentially paid work. But till then…
I have a Dromida Kodo, and have been practicing indoors. I've been flying it for about a week, with its fair share of crashes as I get used to the concept of multi-rotor flight (I'm used to airplanes). However a few nights ago the throttle got stuck and it smashed into a wall fairly hard and fell behind something. I wasn't able to retrieve it till a few days after. There wasn't any visible damage, but the lipo battery does not charge anymore (LED on supplied USB charger flashes once then turns off, doesn't matter if plugged into a USB port or an outlet). Obviously because I didn't retrieve it for a few days the quad was on till the battery died.
My question is, do you guys think the battery over-discharged due to the quad being on for a few nights? And are there any fixes or do I need to get a new battery? (I have a spare I ordered last week on its way).
If you guys need anymore information just ask!
Thanks,
