I flew the bird this evening. The temps were not that low 40 degrees. After a 11 min. flight, I turned off the craft and went inside. I took out the battery and let it cool down. Now it will not take a charge or even turn back on. It did drop down to 17% when i landed. What do you think people? -bad battery, send it back to ebay. It was a new battery. I dont know.....

Yes, send it back, if it won't turn on or take a charge.

What other options are there?

Ya.... It sucks, I just bought this battery on Ebay after I had just sent one back because of a broken cell issue. #### the bad luck. I guess thats the way it goes. What is the lowest % to stop running the battery?Maybe 17% was to low? ....

No, people have deep cycled flight packs to around 8% charge.

So 17% voltage should have been well within safe depletion.

That pack must be fouled up, and needs to be sent back for replacement.
