Hi guys !

Following this thread :
MA survived bathing a river... and started to have battery error

I am thinking of a power board problem. What's your opinion ?

Attached is the flight log of the near-fatal crash.

To sum up :
- Software and hardware are up to date,
- MA finished in a river after I did a mistake,
- Dried it,
- Got a restart the day after,
- Managed to have it flying despite a "battery error" message that appears after turning on the drone.
- The message appears with all three batteries : with the one that went down in the water but also with the 2 other ones that were in my bag and did not touch water. I have never had the battery error message before with any of the batteries.
- The battery that went down in the water appears to function normaly,
- In DJI Go 4 (latest version), battery % appears but not the "remaining flight time" (stays as .. : ..),
- From time to time, the error disappears for a few seconds / minutes and everything comes back to normal before returning to the battery error status (does not prevent flying).

I have had several flights since then and everything else appears to function as usual.

Thanks for your help !

If of any help, following is one of the post incident flight log.
Interesting to see how battery data info freezes at 26,1 s.

Now it is dry. As mentionned in the main thread, I had the bad idea to turn it on at some point a few moments right after it went down the river. Did not think a lot about at it at the moment but it was surely a(nother) bad move ...

Still, despite the lack of info coming from all the batteries I can still fly it. Reminds me of my old Vespa that had no fuel gauge on it : you learn how to use it without getting dried out.
