Purchased my Evo 1 back in late 2018. Never crashed it or had any real issues with the drone until just last week when I dusted her off and wanted to fly again.
It's been almost 10 months since the last flight so obviously charged up the batteries and controller.
Took off and almost immediately got a low battery alarm warning even though batteries were at 98% charged. Drone tried to return home in about 1 minute with a low battery alarm at 88% but I cancelled that. Kept it flying nearby and watched as the battery level dropped like a rock - in less than 5 minutes it was at 10% power.
Flew with the 2nd battery and had the same experience.
Also saw a message I've never seen on the controller - "Unknown Aircraft Safety Status"
I charged both batteries again and had the same issues - no difference.
When I watch the aircraft battery page on the Evo app I can see that the middle battery is always about .3V below the level of the first and last batteries.
A quick search on the forum and on Youtube leads me to believe these batteries are shot after about my 40 flights. Not too happy about that!
In addition, I am no longer able to see the Google map view on the Android app. I did get a new phone recently so that may have something to do with the map issue.
BTW - software is up to date on aircraft, controller, and Evo app.
Any advice / feedback is appreciated.
