So, it's in the mid 40s here today and I thought I'd go shoot an old water tower. My batteries were all in the 50-60% area, so first, I thought I'd just fly around and run them down, then charge them up before we went. Well, put the first one in... high 50s or low 60. It hovered for a few moments (while showing me a good percentage and 8+ minutes of flying time left), but the lights turned red, got a critical power warning, and it landed itself. It was only 4' up and about 8' away, so no biggie. But the battery reading still said hi 50s. Tried second battery. Pretty much the same. Third, worked fine and I flew it until the low 30s.
Home now. Charging up the battery that worked and fooling with the others. Took the props off and ran it in the house. No problems or warnings. PUt the props back on, took it outside, and back to the warnings and auto landing.
It's not cold out, but kinda cool and a little breezy. Could that be it?
Oh, as soon as the battery that worked is done charging, I'm going to try it again.
Also, I did the thing where you hold the battery button to see what shape it's in, and they're all showing 4 bars.
Any ideas?
thanks
