Certainly the wind cuts down the flight time drastically, but it's the voltage after the flight that tells me there's an issue. The voltage on the external should be relatively close to the Mavic battery voltage at the end of the flight. If you are seeing 50% on Mavic battery, well 4.04V per cell on the external is more like 78-80% remaining. That means you didn't get the proportional amount of energy out of the external batteries. This is usually a sign of resistance in the connection and in some cases also internal resistance of battery. I'm never had an issue with internal resistance with LiHV batteries from Multistar.
Very true. The voltage does not make any sense. At some stage during flight i saw the percentage remaining decrease faster than earlier during that flight. The multistar used was the same i ran down to almost zero before. It charged and balanced well, maybe still something wrong with it. Cannot troubleshoot for now due weather so it has to wait a couple of days.
