How does it happen? You ran you battery to the end of available power.

How do you stop it from happening? Don't run so long or get a bigger battery.

It's usually a term we use when somebody seems to loose power too early in a race for everything to be alright. It hardly ever happens these days with the high capacity batteries in use.

If you are still running the older cell batterys you can could get a discharge tray and cycle(charge them put them in the discharge tray and recharge) the batterys to help. With the cost of getting getting the discharge tray id spring for the lipo and be done.
