Red light flash after take off

[cmpiojo]

Hi.. please help..

Still encountring red light flashing when my phantom 1.1.1 starts to fly and hover.. after couple or seconds it automatically land and go back to idle mode..

Have 3 batteries, tried to use and test all but same problems.

Tries to connect on software assistance.. no error and says no need to calibrate..

Any idea? Thanks in advanced..

How old are the batteries, are they all the same age?

This looks to be a capacity issue.

Static testing may be fine but under load the voltage may sag to the LVCO (low voltage cut-off) point.

When the LVCO is reached the aircraft will do as you described.

When mine did that it was the battery like N017RW stated they will appear fine until there is a load on them

What should i do? Empty the batteries and then full charge again? Maybe they were same age with the phantom 1.1.1. It's a gift from my brother.

LiPos degrade if stored below or above about 40-60% charge.

That drone is about 5 years old. If so the batts. are also?? Then they're toast.

You'll need new ones.
