My syma x8g won’t bind

[Skittles]

I have 2 syma x8g drones and when I go to try binding them to the controller the lights blink very fast and dem I want to try to sell them and get one good working drone but I would like to make sure this is just a battery issue first, I plug my battery’s into them both and they both kept blinking, on battery almost looks inflated but not really

Not familiar with the syma x8 but in general using a multimeter to check the voltage and/or having a hobby charger that shows the voltage and how much current being pushed into the battery are ways to check a battery health. The voltage should get to 4.2V per cell when fully charged (3.0 V fully empty) and typically when discharging will quickly drop to around 3.8-4.0V range and should be around 3.8V for majority of the time it's being drained. If the quads use betaflight firmware then the FC will typically have a USB port can connect with computer and diagnose/fix other issues with the betaflight configurator app/tool, for proprietary FCs/firmware there isn't really any way to know or change what's happening on the flight controller.

RE : when I go to try binding them to the controller the lights blink very fast
Questions :
1. Did you follow the user manual on How to Bind Controller with the Drone ?
2. Whose lights blinking very fast? The X8G lights?
If yes, then I think it is normal. Try move your controller's LEFT stick Up and then Down once. See if the lights turn stable.
If not, go back to your user manual.

RE : on battery almost looks inflated but not really
I am assuming that you have been using those 2 batteries for quite sometime now. Yes?
Since you had considered the batteries as possible culprit, why don't you get 2 brand new ones and try them on?

Not knowing which country you are residing, you can buy 7.4V 2000mah lithium batteries (pack of 2) for Syma X8G from Amazon.com for $35.99 US.
