Hi,
Is the crazyflie supposed to just suddenly shut off when the battery is at 50% left?
I get a bout 3 minutes of flight, and i got 3 spare batteries... all give the same result.

The battery charge level is lower when the motors turn and mine switches off when its nearly emty. About 30 seconds before its switches off, the red led is constantly lit. I did not measure the flight time, but its definatly more than 5 min.

I get more than that never timed but far more than 3 minutes. The power meter seems to be a little unreliable unless the motors are powered up it doesn't seem to give an accurate measurement. Are you charging each battery for at least 20 minutes as well?

You should at least get 5min and if only hovering up to 7-8min. Are the motors getting hot? are the propellers turning freely?
