    Sudden shutoff mid-air

    Yep, sounds about right. Thanks! Guessing brand new frame/drone will fix it then. Highly doubt remote was issue, and now battery is ruled out :)

    Sudden shutoff mid-air

    Yep, figured! I'll keep using the battery then :) Is the battery showing connection even like 5 seconds after esc's shut down? Having a hard time reading that graph. Unsure what timeunit the X-axis shows

    Sudden shutoff mid-air

    Nope not resolved, but ordered new frame. Now trying to figure out if battery is safe to use. It is not the battery being disconnected @Marty Markoe . As others have said, it keeps being powered on post-crash. Wondering if the battery is sagging causing LVC, or something like that. But doesn't...

    Sudden shutoff mid-air

    Thought so, thanks man! So that kinda shows the battery isn't at fault then? The voltage sag, atleast to me, doesn't seem to drastic. Staying above 3.6 should mean the drone kept power, but something else was at fault?

    Sudden shutoff mid-air

    Bump :) @slup any chance you can see if the battery disconnected? Got a new frame, motors, esc board, core board. Only things I'll be re-using are: Camera/Gimbal/Battery/Remote Of those I believe only the battery could be causing this issue, so want to rule it out before sending the drone into...

    Sudden shutoff mid-air

    I'll be replacing with a brand new drone frame; just keeping Gimbal, Camera and Battery. @slup Any chance you can see if the battery was the culprit? I assume it wasn't, since cell voltage doesn't seem to drop?

    Sudden shutoff mid-air

    This is just too odd.. Flies good, perfectly, for 3-10 min. Then bam! Shuts off. What could possibly be causing this? I feel no high heat, etc. No voltage sagging showing.

    Can't afford a repair, would likely cost far too much. Tried to reflash the firmware, we'll see if that helps. Else likely a new ESC board, seems like an easy soldering job. Only 'core' is quite expensive, so hopefully thats not the faulty part :(

    Sorry forgot to tag you, @slup :)

    I believe these are the correct logs.

    Sudden shutoff mid-air

    Happened again twice now, during test flights. Checked all cables, all are seated well. No visible damage to Core/Main board nor ESC. All motors re-boot after aprox 30 seconds. Error shown in app is: "ESC status error". No motor specified.

    Slight swelling on battery

    All cells seem decently balanced and no noticable voltage sag. Not talking major swelling for a Lipo here, just a little chunky perhaps. Ill fly it carefully next time and check if swelling is noticably worse. Cheers

    Slight swelling on battery

    I'd say the cells are pretty balanced, atleast compared to other lipo's i've owned. The battery might still have a slight swelling, hard to say. But certainly not enough to eject it mid-flight. Talking a millimeter deviation, at the most. Won't be doing any ground work or buying new batteries...

    Slight swelling on battery

    Hey'a! Got back from my first flight in a long time with my Mavic Air (1). Noticed the battery was a bit warm (not like HOT, but certainly warm) and perhaps a tad bit swollen. Not golfball swollen but a little swollen. Is this normal? Can't remember if they always did so. Most of my airplane...

    75% Alc wipes

    Hey'a! Is it safe to clean Mavic drones (M2P in my case) with 75-80% alc wipes? Googled, and seems like these are made of ABS; which should be resistant to alcohol? Cheers
