I have read through a thread on a similar theme, but not quite identical. I have stored my P2 and three batteries for about twelve months with a full charge. Is that a bad thing?
So of my three batteries two have discharging issues, and one is fine. All stored in same conditions.
With the two faulty batteries after 30seconds flight time, the red battery warning lights (bow lights), start to flash, and the UAV drops and lands automatically.
I have plugged in the assistant app and analysed the battery section. Battery says 92% life, with 25 discharge cycles. So should be a healthy battery, or is this life indicator a bit of a curve-ball? In the screen-grab attached, the battery says percentage of charge 0% (after the full throttle test below) - which isn't true as the battery switches on and I can run the UAV at full throttle on this battery - I did read the battery will shutdown before it reaches low voltage - perhaps this is what has happened here.
I have recycled the batteries, as per the instructions, attempting to re-calibrate.
I tied down the UAV onto a table and went to full throttle. This is the battery indicator status, approx...
All 4 green lights on 0-30secs;
3 green lights on 30-90secs;
2 green lights 90-120secs;
1 green light at 120-600secs, with full UAV warning (so in the sky it would have force landed by now).
So basically it will fly for approximately 2mins - although reality it is nearer 30secs.
As I say, one of the three batteries performs perfectly, retains charge, etc., so am confident it is not the UAV.
Any ideas how to get the other two batteries working again? Screen capture attached for one of the batteries, but two are performing very much the same.
Cheers, Phill
