Hello!
I bought my P2 Vision+ a few months ago and have done around a dozen flights. I never recall getting very close to the 25 minute flight time claimed in the specs. I understand that how you fly makes a difference but after some test sessions hovering I still was not reaching 20 minutes. So, looking into the batteries:
Battery 1: All 3 cells at 4200mAh at 98% charge (charging from about 20% life to full without "overcharging") gave me a flight time of 18 minutes.
Battery 2: Cells 1 and 3 were at 4200mAh and cell 2 at 4120mAh at 98% charge with last flight time of 12 minutes.
Both flights were about the same conditions. I've never put the batteries in extreme heat or other conditions not good for them. Battery 1 has been cycled 8 times and Battery 2 has been cycled 5 times total. So, these aren't heavily used.
Did I get lemons for batteries that I should return? Is anyone else having this problem? I've done some searching around and have found someone commenting that the cell difference I'm experiencing is at least a problem, but these also are not even close to the claimed capacity! Please help! Thanks in advance.
