I knew it would happen eventually, but not like this... :-(

There have been a few times where people have installed the battery without getting it fully locked into place. You should hear and feel a snap or click when it's fully engaged. After you put it back in the H, see if the bird will turn on.
Did it the same way I have done it 3 dozen times before. Push it all the way in until click.

Great. Glad to hear that. See if you can get the H to boot up with the battery.
Will do tomorrow. Time for bed right now. Thanks again.

I know that won't work because the end of the battery and that side of the bird is smashed and the clip that holds it in is broken.

I'll be interested to see if Yuneec take care of you with this problem using a non Yuneec battery. It could as easily be the contacts on the battery that caused it as the H, and I wonder if these third party batteries are officially supported by Yuneec.
All previous evidence on this forum however seems Yuneec take care of most people within warranty.

Interesting point about the battery brand.
Yet another reason to keep with the original (Yuneec branded) stuff - possibly?
Don't know if it matters to them, but this battery was made specifically for the H. Or at least the label says so. It did actually give me a good 3-5 min extra flight time than the Yuneec batteries. Might have been the 5th time I used it.

I did the best I could to get the battery all the way in and she briefly powered up and then went out. Not sure if it wasn't making good contact or if something else is malfunctioning.

For the previous times you were using this battery, did it ever give you a low battery warning while you were flying?
I had a buddy of mine have his H fall from the sky and when he sent it in to Yuneec, they determined that the main power distribution board had failed in flight. Fully covered it. Hope this turns out the same way for you.
Not to say this could have been the problem, but 14.3v equates to 3.57v per cell.
Maybe the batteries you were using don't react too well in regards to being dropped down so low?
It would be interesting to get other members opinions on these batteries to see just how well they do hold up. Given you have only used these for 5 cycles, I would doubt that this was a contributing factor.
My mistake I think it is 14.4 which is when the controller gives the first warning about the battery being low and tells you to land. 14.3 it gives the second warning. In this case I was 3 minutes into the flight and the voltage is still at 16v on the battery.
