      Hello, I’ve recently encountered a problem.
      When operating in Position Mode, all motors work correctly after arming when powered by an AC/DC adapter. However, after switching to battery power, one of the four motors does not spin after arming.

      I have two videos show this issue.

      Using battery

      Using Adaptor

      I made some simple observations:

      1. I have two batteries, so I also tried replacing the other battery for testing, but the problem remained regardless of which battery I used.

      2. I visually inspected the motor and found no loose wiring or other issues. The LED indicator lights are shown in the image below.

      However, one component on the ESC board appears to be rusty; I'm unsure if this has any impact. Please see the attached image below.

      The device and software version I used：

      Drone: Starling2 Indoor SLAM Development Drone

      SDK: voxl2_SDK_1.5.0

      Battery: 2S amprius silicon anode modalai battery
