Ok, so I have heard that the Anafis fall out of the sky with no warning whatsoever and it has made them somewhat a bad reputation, I think I know why that happens.
I had a flying session and after that I charged the battery, the battery was still quite warm from the flight, after a while I saw the battery acting weird, it blinked the red and green leds in random order, this was because the Li-po Cells had swolled enough for the micro switch of the on-off buttom to be pressed and remained so as long as the battery cooled down because of he inner pressure of the gasses swelling up the battery, I also found out that indeed the battery does heat up during flight so much in certain circumstances that there is a 90% chance that the on-off button shuts the drone down in mid flight, the gap between the plastic button and the microswitch inside the battery is way too small and I filed the point of the button down a little to make some more space between the button and the microswitch and that had a significant difference since the battery does not behave like that anymore, I made the same "tune" for both of my original ANAFI batteries, the Chinese battery with the round button does not have this same issue, only the original batteries do, so if you want to be on the safe side I recommend all the Anafi pilots using the original batteries to do the same thing, the battery is pretty easy to pry open, it is not glued or anything and the whole procedure takes like 10 minutes, I assume this is the main reason why these Parrots keep dropping from the sky and no one, not even Parrot finds anything wrong with the electronics, thats because the drone shuts itself down from the on-off switch in mid flight.
