I am curious if you don't mind telling here I am pretty sure DJI will not care.
Also, who knows maybe we can give your more evidence and feedback if your finding is true.

If you were sure you would say why. If you aren't sure you ask for a pm from a mod so you don't get publicly humiliated ;)

I am actually serious user who has been trying to work out the reason for Spark falling. I have background in mecha-tronics, and did myself program some quadcopters.
I also wrote many threads about the fallings, and I was the first one who raised up that the concern about battery.
So, it would be great if you can PM and discuss with me, I think I can give you some useful comment as well.

I am not trying to be mysterious.  I just want to help, I know if i say anything here people and their negative feedbacks will start pouring in.  It's not something anyone here can do, it has to come from a FW to be fix.

Well it would be nice if u could tell people who have sparks right now not to fly or not! If its electrical how will software fix it? Quit being 3 yrs old and atleast give us some insight....holy crap never seen anyone act like that

So tell us then. Otherwise you are just contributing to DJIs poor behavior and total lack of transparency. You can help hold them accountable!

seriously lucas?

lucus you can tell us here, every theory has to get looked at in a good and bad light..  that's how you pull apart problems and solve them attack them from both sides.  my theory is around the battery circuit, but i still yet to get a successful dump and unpacking of the firmware on the batteries i have, i probably will need to kill a battery pack and open it up and clone the flash if the spark refuses to help me out with reading and accessing it.

Hi Lucas, welcome aboard.  I hope your expertise can contribute to a solution from DJI.  I too am curious about your theories.  I have wondered if it is possible that sparks are running hot and disrupting circuitry.

this is my very theory since the latest update has address a few things related to battery temperature and charging/discharging schemes.   i think DJi are suspicious of that as well, i'm sure its related to the battery protection.

Holly Jesus, that was funny. I know how to bring world piece, but I am just going to be mysterious, and after some time I will say, see, exactly what I was thinking. Anyways, was a fun post, made my Saturday a bit more LOL, as watching Saturday Nigh Live.

Def think its battery and voltage sag/ degradation during flight possibly causing them to cut out. Idk why lucas wants to be so secretive we are supposed to help eachother  out here ...

Probably because peeps post dumb memes and leave their smart a$$ comments all over it. I'm sure he's on to something and will share if it turns out to be right

definitely a emergency cut off protection glitch if it is battery pack because it is sudden and if it was predictable sag in voltage or current, the spark and the battery have a communication line for that and the spark will decrease its amperage usage or reduce its self down so not pulling that much voltage or current in general.. same thing if the thermals are linear but getting too warm the system can throttle back and decrease speed and and compensation/reactions....
