Hi All,
I have owned my P3A since 2016. I have the original three batteries I purchased with the bird. I always kept all batteries charged to proper levels (recharge when at about 30% - charge to about 75%). I have not updated any software in years and don't intend to. I fly it only about once or twice a year. Went to fly today using Litchi app. Battery was fully charged. I got two strange messages on screen. One instructed me to fully discharge and recharge the battery. I checked the voltages in all cells and all looked good so I flew anyway. While flying I got a message that the battery could not charge because of over heating. It was a leisurely flight with some minor wind. At that point I got nervous. I was at about 65% battery life and decided to bring it in. Anyone know why I got those messages? I have two other batteries so I suppose I could try them also.
 
Unusual for sure, think next you'll have to try out the other 2 batteries. The full discharge/recharge is to force a battery reset, not down to 0% but like 5%. More info is available on-line but it's for battery health.
