Q: What are the signs of a failing drone battery?

Watch for these warning signs of battery deterioration:Significantly reduced flight time (>20% decrease)Swelling or physical deformationDifficulty holding chargeUnusual heating during use or chargingVoltage instabilityA healthy battery should maintain consistent performance for 200-300 charge cycles. If you notice rapid voltage drops during flight or the battery gets unusually warm during charging, replace it immediately. Modern smart batteries often include built-in health monitoring systems that can alert you to potential issues before they become dangerous.
