Cut-out DVR signal on Cobra X V2
#1
I am having great signal until random DVR cut-out on my Cobra X V2. 
What causes that, anyone experienced same and how to solve that?
Moreover they are runs only for 15-20 mins despite using brand new Sanyo 18650 10A 3350mAh.


Goggle firmware info: 
FW1: V2.3.9 
FW2: V02.00.00.10
HW: V1.2.3.4

This is "well known" issue with Cobra X.
On 18650, it cuts off at 3.7V.. about 40%.
Its also sometimes worse.. sometimes better. Im betting its hardware fault.

Many people run external 2S LIPO.
I just keep spare couple 3500mah GA.

Damn, so nobody solved that problem already? 1S 18650 was one of those important features why I bought Cobra X  Confused
Can 2S 18650 pack work just as fine as 2S LiPo?

The external plug supports 2S. So possible to cut out plastic and make a 2S 18650 tray. But pins to 18650 might be diff circuit.

Theoretically goggles would last almost 4x longer.

I contacted Skyzone couple times. Sent emails and videos.

Last summer, for a month, most batteries would last 5-8min, Goggles making high pitch squels, right side very hot and 18650 drained and coffee hot.
Then couple times would not power on for over a week.

If you can get 25-30min.. thats best case.
