Flight Time

Jim..... · Oct 10, 2015

I'm only getting 9 mins max of flight time from my Solo.
3dr says put SYSID_SW_MREV parameter to 0 then recalibrate and reboot so I do and I still get 8-9 mins.

Had a look at "BATT_CAPACITY" and it reads 3435 mAh not 5200, so I change it to 5200 and then write to drone but as soon as I restart Solo it has reverted back to 3435.

Can anyone suggest what is happening here as I am defiantly writing the param to drone?

Thanks.

Sounds like a bad battery. Do you have more than 1 battery and does it do it with all batteries? What % is the battery after 9 minutes and what does the voltage read?

This has been going on for a while now so ordered a new battery which arrived this morning.

Straight off the bat, "BATT_CAPACITY" reads 5200 so yes, bad battery.

Thanks.
