Was planning to take it up for a very quick flight, possibly the first time I didn't change the battery from the previous flight, started up, sounded a little off, landed it quickly, checked all the props, took off again, just hovered about 10 feet in the air listening to it (sounded fine) then it just shut off, and dropped right in front of me.
Happily, it landed on the soft dock directly in front of me and not in the the ocean. Broke the landing gear/strut and threw the battery out.
Had it flying right after without any problems.
logs show Cell 1 had a 0.5 volt deviation, and in the battery menu it recorded a "Cell broken" error message.
Battery is about two years old with 35 cycles...
Is there any chance the battery was loose? I will swear there was no gap showing between the battery and housing, but honestly I never tried pulling it out to see if it was secure, like I mentioned, one of the first times I've flown two flights on the same battery.
below is the last lines of the log:
