we've seen recently the wrapup on a flyaway case where it was determined an aging battery which had not been fully discharged for recalibration turned out to be the leading suspect. at your count of flights, perhaps a voltage dip due to a "mature" un-recalibrated battery contributed? check out the later portions of this thread: https://forum.dji.com/thread-120069-1-4.html
This is not correct, the aging battery was not determined to be the fault by dji in the listed post, just speculated by a few users - the drone was found with no battery (more likely the battery came loose mid flight), then repaired under warranty.
in no place in the manual, any post or any statement does DJI recommend ‘recalibrating the batteries’ by discharging then recharging - the only official statement by dji is to charge your battery at least once every 3 months when not in use and store in a dry place.

I was curious myself after seeing the thread about the failure so I reread the manual and started the above thread about ‘battery calibration ‘ - I want to maintain my batteries properly to dji specs - but I couldn’t find anything about calibration other than 3rd parties and other users - if someone has something official by dji stating to calibrate and to what the proper procedure is, please post a link - thanks
