I have P4P+ for more than 3 years. At last flight I've got a message (a copy from Airdata):
The fourth cell of this battery was a bit weaker but the deviation never dropped below 0.070. The voltage of this cell at the moment was 3.376V and the warning lasted only for 2 sec.
The voltage of this (fourth) cell improved up to 3.5V and never went down to 3.3 until the end of the flight. I must say, that this was the second flight with this battery which had been drained down to 77% at the first flight two hours before.
I've never got the message of this kind before.
Should I take this seriously? Should I put the battery away? Or at least start the flight with this batt only fully charged?
Usually I do not fly with the batt not fully charged. Only when I plan to make two flights with one batt then I make the first one very short (drain the batt not more than 25%).
