I had the battery fail twice on me: During my first 300km flight and
during my second 300km flight. Which meant that I had done two
successful 300km flights without GPS and acoustic vario, but none of
them was logged. :-P

Stefan, buy a new battery. They are cheap these days. At least, much
cheaper than a failed 300Km attempt.
