When I got home I tested the suspect battery. It was able to hold a constant 20A load with no problem. It's IR and capacity rating are what I would expect. I downloaded the data logs from the flight where the motor shut off. The esc temp peaked at almost 170F. There were no drops in the BEC or battery voltage. The only thing I can think of now is the motor was too hot? Maybe a loss of the radio signal and it went into fail safe? Maybe the Vbar governor cut the throttle?
I'm going to attempt to run the suspect battery again, but on the ground and see if it shuts down again. I'll need to pay attention to any error codes from the ESC or satellite receiver. I'm also bringing my temp gun to get a reading on the motor.
