We were out taking pictures when we went up for another round. About 20 seconds into the flight, my I1 lost power and fell from 105 feet.

When I looked at the flight log, have no info about the fall, but has cell 3 and deviation with issues (in red).

Is that what caused it? How can I ensure it does not happen again?

Does anyone have an X5 they are looking to get rid of?
 
Sorry to hear that! I had a similar fall on a clear morning about 4 mins into the flight, the flight logs showed nothing out of normal. I wonder if your issue is related to the TB50 battery news that is coming out about loosing power mid-flight.

It will more than likely be that one cell has dropped below 3V
I had an I1 that did the same thing a few years ago.
If one cell drops below 3v under load,the battery switches off.

Which unfortunately is yet one more reason why 'smart' batteries are crap.

Yes, this is the reason. Wish a warning would be sent.
