OK.....I would turn on, load task, turn off.....back on with sometimes less than 10 mins to launch to save battery power (bad habit from using non LiPo batteries).
This is probably the cause of my issue as it just started.
I was doing it because my CN shows 11.2 volts, but my Dittle radio shows 12.4 on LiPo bat.
Thanks for info.

I've been using good ele SLA batteries for years, they keep the panel
voltage above 12 volts even on 7 hr flights. Never occurred to me to
try to save ten minutes of juice on the ground.

Hope you've got your LiPo's in a good steel box like the 787's do.
