Losing power

Hi.
I have purchased my first very cheap drone.
Emolion Drone is its description ( seems to be identical to an e58).
The problem is that when the drone takes off ( either on auto take off or manual) it seems to loose power and comes down after approximately 5 seconds of flight. I'm am in control of the drone within this short period.
The lights on the drone flash and when it comes to the ground none of the controls work and the lights continue to flash.
If I turn the drone and controller off and reconnect this exact process will continually happen. I could continue this same process for at least 15 or more times with the same result.
The battery is fully charged and there are new batteries in the controller.
This same process happens whether I use the supplied controller or the phone as a control unit.
I have recharged the battery a couple of times and the same process happens.
At first I thought it was a battery issue but as it performs the same issue time after time I'm starting to think if the battery was faulty then it would not continually take off and stay up for the 5 or so seconds.
I have control of the drone when it is airborne so I believe I have linked everything together properly (both when I use the supplied controller and the phone as a controller).
Also the battery being loose does not seem to be the issue as I have checked this regularly when it has landed and it is still in place. Also the lights on the drone are still flashing when it lands.
Any thoughts or help on this ?
Thanks
