Got critically low battery at 42 percent?

This happened today while flying above the sea... Never had happened before, ever. I was flying near a military base. What could have caused it?

So you got the critical alert at 42%? Have you validated the alert settings in the DJI Go app?

Also - do you remember what the actual voltage of the battery was at that time rather than just the %?

Your battery may not have been properly seated--- has happened before to several of us.

Also, check the contacts. They need to be clean.

You can hold down the power button of the battery to check its life, or check it in the app.

Like you can shove the battery in and it appears to be seated, but it is not locked. a sure check in to look at the gap where the battery meets the housing, if there is ANY gap -- even 1mm it is not seated. You will think it is seated, but in fact--it is not and the vibrations of flying will cause it to back out and show the wrong readings or give a battery error. It has happened to several on this forum including me.
