Is it possible that a hard crash caused it? My qcopter hit the wall hardly before this happens."

"Interesting, why there is no C rating for power tool batteries like Milwaukee M12 popular version?"
"I have a xcopter and I want to use general power tool battery in it instead of Custom LiPo. such as Milwakee M12."
"I used a good balancer to charge but after flight battery got inflated.
Thanks for your response."

"Thanks Greg,
I will try it."

"Unfortunately I dont have telemetry but an RC transmitter.
Also I did not have 3DR power and GPS. I got the 3DR power to see if it can help.
I worked with KK board before which I could power by motors instead of a separate power source."

"But I dont have GPS and compass and I finished the calibration in the mission planner.
I will upload some videos tonight."

"Good, I connected the APM 2.6 to the battery and followed the ESC calibration, but at the end the motors don't turn and it seems that the board does not get armed.
When the APM is connected to PC, I see the transmitter is connected to receiver."
